First of All, Flipkart Let me down this time, They cancelled my first order abruptly after making me wait for 10 days and I did not got any offer which I was supposed to get. Second order took 8 days to be delivered
So 1/5 Stars for Flipkart. I have been using my Moto x play(32 GB version) for a week now. And Here is my Review about it.
CAMERA:
Note:The default aspect ratio is 16:9 which gives only 16MP but if we change it to 4:3 it gives 21MP
I think Most people comment Bad about camera is because they expected a DSLR Quality photo from a Mobile Cam when they hear about t 21MP
From my View The camera is really good for Outdoor Photography and Well Lit Interior Photos. But Its NOT good in low Lit interiors. Pictures show some grains when zoomed in. May be this could be fixed with an OTA upgrade, I don’t know.
BATTERY:
This is interesting experience for me. Motorola site says it takes a dozen of full battery cycles for the battery to reach maximum potential . and I think its quite right.
Because first day I was really disappointed and got only 10 hours of battery life with Medium usage.But Its been a week, Now Battery stands upto 22 hours with medium usage(I use full time wifi, Streamed many you tube videos and played games like CoC and Asphalt etc. All my accounts like gmail, fb are all on full time auto syncing mode). So Battery is really good for a moderate user like me.
PERFORMANCE:
For me I have NEVER felt any lag or slowing down so far. But performance of android totally depends on the Apps that we install. If we install Badly designed apps which drains ram and battery, i think it might lag. I am saying this because I have a friend who have 40K phone which lags because of all the stupid cheap Apps & widgets he installs in his phone.
HEATING:
It warms a little when playing games for long or when streaming videos for long. But only a warmness not overheating. I find it very normal for phones with large screens . Those who whines about over heating either don’t know what overheating means or they got a faulty phone from flipkart.
Special FEATURES:
Moto Voice Assist is very effective. I don’t use my hands while in bed we can use our voice to unlock phone and read messages or search google.
First time I ever experienced a phone reacting very well to my voice and my accent.
Moto Display: this is feature instead of notification LED and I prefer this.
Moto senses When we take our device in hands it automatically shows time and other notifications for small time and goes back to sleep again and It uses very little battery only.
I really liked it.
Summary
While reading all the above you have to keep in mind you are using a 20K phone not a 30+K phone.
and Also the Brand. Motorola have lot of service centers and Customer service support. and will be getting Android updates first after nexus.
For a MODERATE USER this is a GOOD PHONE at this PRICE .
