Is your 2013 Moto X broken? If not, why replace it? Is it more up-to-date software you want? If so, go for one of the alternative Android distributions (eg. Cyanogenmod: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Ghost_Info https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Ghost_Info). Is the battery bad? That can be replaced. Is it not fast enough? It might be with an alternative Android distribution on it. That phone is only 3 years old so it does not sound like it is in dire need of replacement (if it isn't broken to begin with, of course). I still use a 2011 Motorola Defy, others use devices of similar age. If it still works fine why replace it?

What's the best way to get the battery replaced on one of these?

  There's a pretty good discussion about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/4pabyq/my_moto_x_2013_battery_replacement_wasnt/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/4pabyq/my_moto_x_201...

You're right! And that's why I'm still using it. It is a little slow, the OS is outdated, and the battery is on its way out. I'm not 20 anymore and I'm no longer interested in mucking about with hacking the phone, so Cyanogenmod isn't an option. Replacing the battery is an option, and I may do that, but I'd rather just save the hassle and upgrade... if anything worth upgrading to existed.

If he updated his OS past Android 4.0 he would not be able to unlock the boot loader. So Cyanogenmod will not be an option.
