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
So should you buy the Moto X Play? Well, if you're looking for an impressive mid-range smartphone that won't break the bank, I'd urge you to look no further. Not only does the handset provide an unruffled user experience, but it also takes fantastic photo...

Great design, excellent battery performance, water-repellant
No gyroscope. Seems to require a reboot after being on for multiple (4+) days. Bit of play in the power and volume buttons
And back to the headline of this review, and a bit of a personal observation. Most people don't NEED an $800 flagship device. The design, performance, and battery life of the Moto X Play definitely makes this phone from Motorola an affordable option that...
Gorgeous display, Pure Android, Improved camera performance, Powerful battery, Expansion slot
Unimpressive design, Middling hardware
With the Moto X Play, Motorola is filling a significant gap in its portfolio as it has entered the voluminous mid-budget segment. It's ideal for those who want more than the affordable 5-inch Moto G (3rd-gen) and also wish to get a flagship experience, wi...
No wireless charging, No included Turbo Charger, Poor front-facing speaker quality
The Moto X Play is a solid smartphone at a cheap price. The camera is great, the screen is crisp, and Motorola's added software features provide just the right amount of functionality without getting in the way. If you can get past the poor speaker qualit...
Truly all-day battery life, The best Motorola camera yet, Solid performance
Questionable value when compared to other Moto phones, Camera is still poor in low light, Not waterproof like the Moto G
The Moto X Play seems built for one thing. It can't compete with other devices on specs, but it will last you two days on a single charge. If you prioritize battery life over everything, it's definitely worth considering...
Fantastic display and impressive speaker, Solid construction and ergonomic design, Pure Android UI with Moto software goodness, Capable camera — at least in most conditions
Lowlight camera performance is patchy, Stuttery animations and frequent performance hiccups, 16GB base storage doesn't leave much breathing room
The Moto X Play is a curiosity in more than a few ways. It's surprised us with what it's good at - the generally decent camera experience, long battery life and impressive display. What's arguably more surprising, though, is what it's bad at - mainly the...
Rigid casing, Customizable, Pleasant surfaces, Splash-water proof, Relatively light, NFC, Many network frequencies, Relatively reliable GPS outdoors, Very high-resolution front-facing camera, Good camera and video pictures, Accurate touchscreen, Extremel
Miracast doesn't always function, No USB OTG, Expansion via Moto sometimes senseless, GPS needs long for signal, Middling call quality, Light bluish cast in display, Less power than equally priced devices, Relatively high waste heat, Poor speaker sound,
Motorola proves that it is not only OnePlus that can build affordable smartphones that rock the mid-range. The Moto X Play convinces even more particularly in terms of camera and screen.Apparently, the manufacturer has considered everyone Multiple color c...
Abstract: Thanks to the popularity of its predecessors, the 3rd generation Moto X was one of the more highly awaited devices of the year. That said, when Motorola unveiled the Moto X, they did not just unveil the 3rd generation device, but showcased three different...
Built to last, With a battery that lasts and lasts, And a camera to create lasting memories
Performance is not as smooth as it should be, Speakers, display, and ergonomics are all just okay, Camera still struggles in low light

Average everyday battery life, Camera needs manual control
The Moto X Play isn't the Motorola flagship that we're excited to see, but it's a very good handset for the price and a solid rival to the OnePlus 2. The spacious, vibrant screen and expandable storage make it a media monster, while amateur photographers...
