Motorola Moto X Play review

Motorola Moto X Play review

Everyone expected an update to the 2014 Moto X, but Motorola launched two new phones: the Moto X Style and the Moto X Play for 2015. We're looking at the latter here, which sits between the Style and the new third-gen Moto G for price.

Moto X Play review: UK price & availability

The Motorola Moto X Play is on sale now starts from £279. That sits it between the new Moto G, which costs £159, and the Moto X Style priced at £359.
It also means that it's close to the price of the new and impressive OnePlus 2 smartphone, which was also unveiled on the 28 July and is priced at £239 (16GB) or £289 for the 64GB model. It's going to be a big competitor to the Moto X Play and Moto X Style, as it too has high-end specs and features with a mid-range price tag.
It's worth noting that the Play is much cheaper than the 2014 Moto X, which came in at a rather high price of £420, and now sells for about £350.

Motorola Moto X Play review: Design & build

Motorola may not have focused as heavily on design with the Moto X Play as it did with the Moto X Style, but it's still a good-looking phone in our opinion, and we really like the new design of the area around the camera and Motorola logo.
The rear cover pops off like the Moto G's which means it's easy to personalise the phone with other covers. If you configure a Moto X Play on Motorola's website you can choose between 12 colours for the rear, a black or white front face, plus an accent colour which colours the camera surround on the rear and the front speaker grilles. It doesn't cost any extra and you'll have a phone that won't look identical to everyone else's. Of course, you're more likely to find a discount from other retailers selling the black or white 'base' models.

It weighs a reasonable 169g and is 10.9mm thick at its thickest point, but it's curved to make it feel comfortable in the hand so it doesn't feel like a bulky phone at all, particularly thanks to its thin bezels surrounding the screen.
Unlike the cheaper Moto G, the Moto X Play is merely water repellent, rather than waterproof. This means it should cope with the odd splash (as most phones can), but it won't survive being dropped in the bath.
When you remove that cover there's nothing to see or do: the 3630mAh battery is captive.
On the top edge is a centrally mounted headphone jack, plus a removable all-in-one nano SIM and microSD tray. For the UK model, the second nano SIM slot is blanked off. We don't know why Motorola chose not to make it a dual-SIM model, but this gives the OnePlus 2 another advantage over the Motorola. The microUSB port is on the bottom edge.

Like the new Moto G, the Play does not have stereo speakers at the front. Only the bottom grille hides a loud speaker - but even that sounds pretty good for videos and games (not so much for music).
One disappointment is the plastic volume rocker and power button. These are all on the right-hand side but are made from plastic and lack a premium feel. The volume rocker rattles, too.

Motorola Moto X Play review: Display

The display is a brilliant 5.5in 1080p Full HD screen, which is the same specs as the iPhone 6 Plus. The pixel density of 403ppi can't quite beat the higher 520ppi of the Moto X Style's 5.7in display, but it's great quality nonetheless and you'll enjoy using it to watch movies and play games.
Some will feel let down by the switch to IPS technology fgffrom AMOLED which the previous Moto X used. However, the Play's screen is very good. Colours are vivid (we measured 90 percent of sRGB), and it's also really bright at 678cd/m2, which means it's easier to see what you're photographingd when outside in the sun.
Adaptive brightness is off by default so you'll probably want to make that your first change in Settings. You can also switch from the default 'Vivid' to 'Realistic' colour - this seems to be an option added to appeal to those who prefer the more vibrant hues of AMOLED displays.
Whether you're in or out, playing games, watching videos or just sending an email, the screen is a pleasure to use. It doesn't offer the power saving features of AMOLED dqwwwhen you're using the Moto Display feature though (see software below).

Motorola Moto X Play review: Specs & performance

Inside the Moto X Play you'll find Bluetooth 4.0 LE connectivity, but there's no 802.11ac Wi-Fi like there is in the Moto X Style and even was in the 2014 Moto X. There is GPS and NFC, though.
A mid-range 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor crunches the numbers, with Adreno 405 graphics and 2GB RAM. We found games such as Real Racing played fantastically smoothly on the Moto X Play, and it's no different when navigating around Android Lollipop.
If you care about benchmark results (which you shouldn't put too much faith in) then here's the
