Customisation on the Moto X Play isn't all it could be
And not having alternative material options is a major letdown. I wasn't expecting a leather option on an ‘active lifestyle' phone
But it would have been nice to have different options for the back
It's hard to fault the Moto X Play. We lauded Motorola's latest Moto G as the best sub-£200 handset, and it's hard to think of a better sub-£300 phone than the Play. Sure, the low-light camera performance disappointed and the screen isn't the best on the...

The Moto X Play doesn't excel in everything; it's oddly not as waterproof as the cheaper Motorola Moto G (2015), the camera doesn't perform well in low light, and performance is middling.However, a reasonable price and great battery life give it an edge a...

Thoughtful design, Long battery life, No bloatware
Back panel fit, Poor low, light photos, No fast charger
The Moto X Play costs £279 for the 16GB version (£22 a month on contract) or £319 for the 32GB. Whilst there are some niggles, camera performance in low light and that slightly ill-fitting back panel being the most noticeable, it has a lot to recommend it...
Overall, the Moto X Play is a decent mid-range phone. But, it's not the great upgrade which Moto X owners were looking for. The camera is good, as is the screen, but performance could be better - as could battery life. Had Motorola offered the dual-SIM ve...

21megapixel camera, relatively cheap price, good screen
Unexciting design, sometimes unwieldy
Moto X Play has some shortcomings, but is good value for money. The camera in particular is a stark improvement from previous Motorola handsets. While not a flagship -- by deliberate design -- some of Moto X Play's features put it among the most convinci...

No bloatware, Brilliant display, Ideal screen size for streaming, Massive battery
Looks cheap
At the £269 (16GB version), the Motorola Moto X Play offers solid value for money. It ticks all the boxes for someone who would like a no-frills handset that will take them from work to play without the need to juice up.You get a nearly pure Android exper...
Massive battery, Good screen, Advanced camera sensor
Camera could be snappier, and it's begging for OIS, Not the prettiest design
