Touchless Control. Yes, it hates to be touched.  Kidding aside, the Moto X let's you do tasks like asking for the weather with the always on voice control. This is of course with the power of Google Now's Natural Language Processing (NLP) which is afforded by a core optimized  for this task.

Environment/Gesture Response. Exclusive software features allows the Moto X to respond to specific situtations. It knows when you pulled it out from your pocket that it automatically wakes up from sleep making checking your phone for updates easier. It can also launch the camera from locked state.

If you are looking for really fast enthusiast class phones, you're better off with Samsung Galaxy S4, iPhone 5 or HTC One. But if you're up for a new way to experience mobile computing then the Moto X might be the right phone for you.
