Review - Motorola was one of the leading phone manufacturers back in the late 90's and early 2000's, but ever since smartphones started coming out, the company has been quiet and not engaging much as it used to. But we all know that a company like Motorola was bound to make a comeback, and it definitely did. After experimenting with a few phones they finally came out with the Moto X Play, which is the 3rd generation model for the Moto X series. This was, at that time, one of their flagship phones( Moto X Style was a more expensive version of this with almost same specs) .
The thing that worries us the most is the price of a flagship phone, especially when it's coming from a company like Motorola. We would expect it to have a price that is beyond our reach, and somewhere around the prices of a flagship phone of Apple or Samsung, but Motorola has shocked us by giving their flagship phone at the price of a mid-range smartphone. One would think that a mid-range phone could not compete with likes of an expensive phone like the iPhone, but it could even challenge an iPhone when it came to performance and camera quality as well.
One of the main reasons why it could compete so is because of the stock Android that Motorola has provided it with. Usually most Android phones have Android software with a layer of custom software that is in built by the phone's manufacturer. The stock Android feel certainly made it a lot more reliable when it came to performance standards. Another good quality about the Moto X Play is the camera, coming with a 21 megapixel rear facing camera, it certainly highlights every vivid detail when you capture a photo. It even comes with 4k recording and slo-mo video as well which enabled me to use it as a primary camera for taking photos and videos while traveling.
Nowadays most phones come with a hybrid sim card making it tough to manage 2 phone numbers with sacrificing memory and relying on the internal storage, which at times is not sufficient, but in this case we get a sim card tray which can hold 2 sim cards as well as an expandable SD card. Which makes it much easier take a lot of photos and house a lot of songs. Overall the phone is wonderful and feels quite comfortable when holding it as well. Even though it's a 5.5-inch phone, the edges are curved which makes it much easier to grip and handle. The phone is definitely a pick over any other flagship smartphone in the market in that price range.
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
