The Moto X Play best fills the mid-range of the market. Both are created to be dust and water resistant with their nano-coating IP52 certification.

First, whites on the new Pure Edition are less yellowy than they appear on the 2014 Moto X – a good change.
Both devices run the same processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400. But on the plus side, if you pick up the device from Best Buy you could be using it a lot sooner. Plus, there’s a 5 megapixel “selfie” camera above the screen.
The Moto X Style is more elegant than the Moto X 014, although it retained the curved back which can be customized.
Whichever way you buy it, the Moto X Pure Edition is a pretty awesome smartphone, packing powerful specs and excellent software at a very fair price. This certainly means that the Moto X Play produces larger images than the Moto X (2nd Gen), but the image quality from both the smartphones is quite identical.
And most importantly, the PRICES! The smartphone features a 5.7-inch display in QHD. The whole back panel is molded into Aluminium frame.
Motorola no longer uses an AMOLED display. We knew that the Moto X Pure Edition would be available online from Moto Maker. The main camera is a 21 MP unit with phase detection autofocus, dual-LED flash, and 4K video recording, while the front-facing shooter has a 5 MP sensor with LED flash. Featuring wireless charging functionality, the 46m Moto 360 contains a 400mAh battery while the 42mm case holds a 300mAh battery which can last 1.5 days of regular usage. That’s just about the story right here with the Moto X Pure Version.
Running Android 5.1.1, the phone has only a couple of Motorola-centric apps installed and therefore, offers nearly a stock Android experience. It has a weight of 179 grams and a measurement of 153.9 x 76.2 x 11.1. Motorola has given it a starting price of only $399.90. The phone does have a 5.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display, which still qualifies as high-end in some markets. This goes up against the Moto X Pure’s 64-bit Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor that thoroughly outdoes the Moto X Play’s 615, which lagged and jerked in our review model. Just like its predecessors, it doesn’t have a microSD slot to increase its storage capacity. The Moto X Pure comes with 3GB of RAM and 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of memory which can also expand via a microSD card. It also sports the 5MP FFC for selfies and video chatting, as does the Moto X Pure.

The slight heft of the Moto X Play is largely due to the enormous, non-removable 3,630mAh cell tucked under the cover. The Moto X Play has a whole-plastic built with 169 grams of weight and 10.9mm of thickness. There are so many things that literally baffle in best choice. We’ve seen it on previous Moto X devices, as well as the Nexus 6. We’re sure more stock while arrive soon, so if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of building/waiting for your Moto X to ship from China, sit tight.
