We don't think about giving any introduction to Moto X as it has been leaked a lot of times. Earlier Today, two hands-on video of the smartphone was leaked by a Reddit user. The first video was all about the new feature of Motorola, dubbed as 'Moto Magic'. The feature is no less than voice commands from the lock screen. The application used is Open Mic, and works in tandem with Google Now to perform voice-initiated commands.

The application is activated either by a custom phrase or by saying "Ok Moto Magic," when the screen of Moto X is off. When the user command is recognised by the Open Mic, the phone gets unlocked and the command is sent to Google Now for further action.

For eg., when you say "Ok Moto Magic open www.techdroid.in," the phone will be unlocked (unless you have a pin or password or pattern set), and the command will be sent to Google Now, where Google Now will search for www.techdroid.in and will show the gathered results.

The feature also works with phone calls and webpage navigation commands, actually it's likely that most built-in search commands can work. You can checkout the feature in action below.
