The Moto X Play is the balancing act between the Moto G and Moto X Style with a tendency to aim high instead of settle for less. At 5.5 inches in diagonal its display still puts it in phablet territory, leaving the Moto G(3rd gen) to cater to compact phone lovers. It’s a FullHD panel too, striking the obvious reasonable compromise between sharpness and battery life.
And battery life is one area, where the Moto X Play should excel - it has a huge 3, 630mAh cell, with support for fast charging too, though a TurboCharger has sadly been omitted from the bundle.
