In 2015, the company decided to retire Moto. first super flagship moto turbo was launched and two new Motos were recently released moto x play AND moto x style were introduced. If you see it, then only Moto X Style can be considered a flagship category. By today’s standards, the X Play phone is a mid-range device. How does the Moto X Play perform overall? Let us know.
Design and display
Moto X Play is another solid and beautiful smartphone from the Motorola collection. In terms of design and layout, the company did not experiment with this phone, that is, it settled only on traditional models. The SIM-plus-MicroSD card tray adds a new look. This tray is located on the top of the device. Once you remove the tray, you’ll find that there’s room for two Nano SIM cards on one side and a microSD card on the other. We liked this experiment. If you are one of those people who likes to remove the microSD card again and again, then you should also be prepared to lose your network.
The back cover can be removed. Here you will find a large phone battery. The lack of water resistance on the Moto X Play is very disappointing. By the way, the X Play has a water-repellent coating.
The Moto X Play has a 5.5-inch Full-HD display that looks good and is bright. There are no problems using it even in bright light. Viewing angles are decent. There are no complaints about the Moto X Play screen.
Performance and battery life
After spending so much money, you will never want to face any issues related to your smartphone during your daily use. The good thing is that we didn’t have any problems with the Moto X Play. The smartphone is equipped with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor and 2 GB of RAM. No defects were found in the unit received for review. Games like Asphalt 8 ran smoothly.
The built-in memory of the review device was 32 GB, of which 25.45 GB of memory is available to the user. There is also a 16GB variant available in the market, but considering the price difference of just Rs 1,500, we would suggest buying the variant with more internal storage. Even if you don’t buy it, no problem, because the device also supports microSD memory cards (up to 128 GB). Apart from this, USB OTG storage expansion is also provided.
We didn’t encounter any issues with the device overheating while playing high-quality games or continuously shooting multiple 2-3 minute videos. However, the Moto X Play does get a little warm with daily use. Its level is not embarrassing, but you will definitely feel it.
Moto During our use, we found that the battery of the Moto X Play lasted for a day. By the end of the day, the battery was also on its last legs, as is the case with most smartphones. This was a bit surprising to us given the size of the battery.
The Moto X Play’s battery performed well in the video loop test. Let us tell you that we spent most of our time in places where there were problems with network connectivity. In this situation, the pressure on the battery increases. For this reason, Mobile Standby mode always consumed the most battery power. We got this information from the Android battery usage report. In regions with weak networks, call quality was worse than that of other smartphones. Considering the poor state of the telecommunications network in the country, it is difficult to decide who is responsible for this? Phone or network.
Software and camera
We recently reviewed the third-generation Moto G smartphone, and the Moto X Play’s software is fully on par with the company’s budget phone. If you want to know the features of the software in detail, you can Moto G (3rd generation) From review Read.
Now let’s talk about the feature that is present in Moto X Play and Moto G third generation. In fact, in our review of the third-generation Moto G device, we didn’t mention it at all. We are talking about Moto Assist. This is Motorola’s offering in the world of virtual assistants. It can perform small tasks. With this application you can change your notification settings. While driving, it can tell you the name of the caller and the sender of the SMS. This app’s features are a bit limited, but it will still appeal to many users.
Moto To overcome this disadvantage, Motorola has included a 21-megapixel camera in the new device. And its performance is also good.
The Moto X Play’s camera takes good photos outdoors or in well-lit areas. If you use the push-to-click autofocus mode, photos appear slightly underexposed in some areas.
In low light the problem increases due to autofocus, sometimes the camera wastes a lot of time and sometimes even fails to focus. The results will be better if you switch to touch focus mode. Overall, the rear camera performance is satisfactory.
The front camera performance is also satisfactory. The same can be said for videos shot with the rear camera. While panning while recording a Moto video, you can also take a photo by pressing while shooting a video. The camera app on the Moto X Play matches the Moto G Gen 3 app perfectly. If you want to read about it in more detail, then you should review I can read.
our decision
There’s nothing fancy about the Moto X Play, but it gets the job done well. You will feel the same from the rating we give to the phone. There is not a single function in the device that could be called unique. It has a bigger battery and a better camera, both performance is good too. But it’s not so great that we call this device the best in its price range. It’s good that the phone is not too weak in all respects.
The Moto X Play is not good enough to be chosen over flagship smartphones from other companies. But it is also true that this is not even a flagship device. This responsibility rests on the shoulders of Moto X Style. On paper, the Moto X Play smartphone you’re a eureka plus ,review) and costs half the price of the U device. But we also cannot ignore the complaints about the service of the U brand. Apart from this, we also said earlier that Performance is more important than technical characteristics,
Motorola’s reputation for support and software updates is better than many companies. That’s why the company is eyeing the Moto X Play. OnePlus 2 ,review) is on the smartphone. If you are confused between these two devices, we recommend the Moto X Play. You can buy it easily and it will cost less money.
