You’d be forgiven for thinking the Motorola Moto X is just another Android smartphone attempting to enter an over-flowing market and hoping to grab your attention.
But it does have one standout feature that no other Android, or indeed, smartphone, has: 'touchless controls'. This means you can control certain aspects of the phone without having to press any buttons.
How does that work? It is essentially always listening for you to say 'OK Google Now', after which it will ask you for a command.
