Moto X,quite popular and bought for it's features rather than specs , primarily the always-on listening which allowed the users to control their smartphones by voice commands and the other one , active display which when the phone is listed displays the notifications on the lockscreen
The always-on listening worked out due to an additional co-processor , which also helped in saving battery by not using the main cores of the device
This feature was ported to a Nexus 5 which contains a Snapdragon 800 which contains an dedicated signal processing core that makes it to work out. Guillaume Lesniak from OmniROM was first to demo the capability in a short proof made by him in his Google+ page .In the video, he unlocked his Nexus 5 using two words that were "Hey Snapdragon" . It is currently not released due to legal restrictions on reverse engineering and releasing source code for public availability .
Nexus 5 infact Snapdragon 800 has a low-power DSP for language processing that can be used to copy the always-on listening features by a firmware upgrade and it might also be introduced by Google into it's next Android version.
Guillaume Lesniak aims to provide these features to open community as Android is an open source project after all legal settlements and when it's more stable
