Motorola Moto X Play

Where mid-range devices shine
Source: Laptop Media EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Whether it’s because of the stock Android experience or the reliable CPU, we were pleasantly impressed by the snappy operation of this smartphone. Transition between menus, shots, etc. is instantaneous. You also get a 5.5-inch Full HD display that not only brings very good detail but is also not a problem for the battery, which offers a surprisingly long battery life after a single charge. What puts the icing on the cake is the 21MP rear camera with Sony IMX230 Exmor RS sensor that brings image quality similar to that of high-end models.

The Moto X Play came with a lot of promise to push the boundaries of what a mid-ranger can offer, within a restricted budget and in a lot of ways, it delivered on that promise. For just under $300, you get a quite sensibly cut-back version of the Moto X Style, which, in our opinion, offers a perfect scale-down in performance, without really disturbing any of the other crucial features of the handset.

Available for under £300 SIM-free, the Moto X Play is a great deal. It’s not the most impressive phone on the market, but what it lacks in pizzazz, it makes up for in well-rounded value. The only other Android phones worth considering at this price are the OnePlus 2 and the Honor 7. The OnePlus 2 has similar customisation options, but has an annoying purchasing system.

Motorola Moto X Play review

All things considered, the Motorola Moto X Play turned out as compelling in reality as it is on paper. The midranger with some flagship aspirations has a lot to offer for just $300. And you would think some serious compromises must have been made, but in fact the Moto X Play has no area where it really disappoints.

Motorola Moto X Play builds upon the legacy that has been set up by the Moto X family. The great overall user experience, good camera, good battery life and a wonderful display; clearly make this phone one to consider if you have a Rs 20,000 budget. The Moto X Play is priced at Rs 18,499 for the 16GB variant and Rs 19,999 for the 32GB variant, which is very sensible pricing for the performance you are getting.

Big-battery beauty
Source: Pocket Lint EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Moto X Play is a headset that appears to have one primary focus: long-lasting battery life. If you want an endurance champion, then the Moto X Play could well be the handset for you. There are other positives too. The design can be personalised, the camera experience is improved over the last generation, and the minimal bloatware on board makes for a solid handset with slick performance as mid-range handsets go.

80% A battery to beat: Motorola’s X Play reviewed
Source: Gadgetguy EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
There are certainly some good things going for the Moto X Play, and battery life is chief among them, bringing some of the longest lasting performance we’ve seen out of any phone this year, especially one that isn’t technically considered a phablet. Granted, to get this life you need to resort to something thicker than the standard flagship, and something a little bulky, too, as that’s part of how Motorola gets the life going long. With a big battery and some finely tuned Android, the Moto X Play does offer enough life to not only let you play the day, it could handle an entire weekend, too.

The Moto X Play is not a power user’s smartphone, given the lacklustre processor performance, but it’s a well balanced smartphone that not many make today and Motorola has for long been known for. The company’s service support, though not the best, is improving by the day, and in the sub-20k segment, this phone may be the best for anyone but a power user.

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 market, but for £269 the Moto X Play offers a premium design, smooth performance, bloat-free Android and an excellent battery life.

There's a lot going for the Moto X Play, but not quite enough when you compare it to its more impressive stablemate. It's still a very good smartphone, and it's pretty good value given the spec list, but it feels a bit like a phone that doesn't know quite what it wants to be. Motorola should have gone the whole hog with this phone, and made it a durable masterpiece that offered high-end specs, plus a durable yet customisable design. And it should be waterproof, not 'water resistant' – and ideally blood, sweat and tear-proof too.

80% Great battery life, great price
Source: PC Pro EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
However, a reasonable price and great battery life give it an edge against other phones in the increasingly crowded mid-range smartphone market. Squeezed between the Moto G and the Moto X Style, the Moto X Play is a more-than-decent mid-range smartphone; if you can’t get an invite for the OnePlus 2, it’s an excellent alternative.

80% Boringly Good
Source: NDTV Gadgets EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Moto X Play is a solid if unspectacular performer, with no real feature that stands out - as is evident from our ratings. It has a massive battery and an improved camera, both of which perform adequately in the real world, but not significantly better than its peers to make the Play an undisputed pick in its price bracket. On the flip side, the phone doesn't significantly lack in any department either.

On a day-to-day level it’s easy to use thanks to some clever design, it has a clean, simple version of Android, and daylight camera results are excellent. The screen although it’s ‘only’ 1080p is perfectly acceptable.

Once you take the epic battery life into consideration, the X Play starts to make a little more sense. You get a lot of the benefits of Motorola's flagship; you save a little money; and you never need to carry your charger with you again. Even so, I can't help but feel that most people would be happy with the budget Moto G.

The Mototola Moto X Play is one of the best phones to consider if you want a quality phone without paying a high-end price. It maxes out the camera and battery while offering a nice big screen that isn’t shown up too badly by any phone, anywhere.

The Moto X Play slots solidly in the middle between the Moto G and the upcoming Moto X Style, and if it's any indication of what to expect from the Style, we should be in for a treat with the top of the range model. That's not to say the Play is bad at all - anything but, and you get a decent phone that's as close to stock Android as you could wish for; battery life is astounding; and it sports Motorola's best camera to date. It's well worth a look, but if you want something with even more power, wait for the Moto X Style.

80% Too many corners cut to compete with the OnePlus 2
Source: Tech Advisor EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
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 version in the UK and made the phone waterproof, it would have had enough to be a decent alternative to the OnePlus 2. For many, this more powerful rival will be more appealing. It's also cheaper and has optical stabilisation and the option to shoot 4K video.

If you want a well built smartphone with a fantastic display, great daylight camera and true all-day battery the Moto X Play is a fine choice. It just makes the package even sweeter that it can be had for £279. Motorola has continued its impressive run and with the Moto G setting new standards for the low-end, I think the Moto X Play can do exactly the same for the mid-range.

100% Motorola Moto X Play review
Source: Expert Reviews EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
It's these small touches that elevate the Moto X Play above the rest of the competition and make it a much better buy than other £200-300 phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy A5, Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, EE Harrier and HTC Desire 820. It's more expensive on contract, with prices starting at £22-per-month, but compared to the £19-per-month Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, for instance, you're getting a lot more phone for your money, including a Full HD screen, a superior camera and more storage. While we've yet to try out the Moto X Style, the Moto X Play is still a great value handset in its own right and its excellent screen, camera and battery life punch well above its weight.

Motorola Moto X Play review: The perfect battery champion?
Source: Androidbeat EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Calling the Moto X Play ‘disappointing’ does it a disservice – it’s patently an extremely capable Android smartphone in every department and the price is quite reasonable. It’s just that, having loved the Nexus 6 aside from the size, I keep hoping for more or less the same device but smaller, and somehow Motorola never quite delivers this, whatever the glossy photos might suggest. The single, mono speaker and the broken camera HDR being the main offenders.

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 and gamers will appreciate the capable camera and smooth performance.

All in all the Moto X Play is shaping up to be an excellent smartphone with a great screen and even better camera. If battery life lives up to its promises we could have a very compelling device on our hands, especially considering the competitive price that Motorola has slapped on it.
