THE MOTO X PLAY shows plenty of promise and offers a decent large screen smartphone for a reasonable price.
PROS:
1.Great camera.
2.Good screen.
3.Stock Android.
4.Decent price.
CONS:
1.Not the best value for money.
2.Design isn’t exciting.
One of the biggest selling points of the Moto X Play is the battery 3, 630mAh, which Motorola promises will last two days on a single charge, even when using 4G LTE and other battery-intensive features.
It also includes Motorola’s Turbo Charge technology, which the company claims is the fastest quick-charging tech on the market, giving the Moto X eight hours of battery life in just 15 minutes of charging.
The 10.9mm depth doesn’t tell the whole story, as the back of the handset is curved, with the Moto X Play’s thickness starting at 8.9mm. The curved back again felt good, and the rubberised material(which is available in a number of colours) helps make the device feel robust and easy to grip.
CAUTION:
Motorola claims the design of the Moto X Play is "water-repellent" - note that it avoids using the term "waterproof". This means that unlike the newly announced Moto G 2015(which has an IPX7 rating), you won’t want to drop the Moto X Play in the bath - though if you get caught in torrential rain, it should be OK.
The 5.5-inch screen is also full 1080p high definition, giving the Moto X Play the same 401ppi pixel density as the iPhone 6 Plus. Although the screen doesn’t quite match the quality of Apple(much more expensive) flagship, it’s still bright and vibrant, and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop looks great on it.It also showed that the Moto X Play, with a 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Octa-core CPU, Adreno 405 GPU and 2GB of RAM, does a very good job of keeping up with the pace, as the game’s visuals kept a consistent framerate as I raced around the track.Motorola has also fitted the new Moto X Play with a 21 megapixel camera
