Motorola Moto X Play review: Crowd pleaser

16 October, 2015
The Moto X Play is the balancing act between the Moto G and Moto X Style with a tendency to aim high instead of settle for less. At 5.5 inches in diagonal its display still puts it in phablet territory, leaving the Moto G (3rd gen) to cater to compact phone lovers.

    Seriously speechless :|

    I got my new moto x play just now and the screen size seems to be 5.2 not 5.5... Is it the defective piece?

    Anyone who owns moto x play, plz confirm if its 5.2 or 5.5inch display.

          Hi,
          I would like to confirm whether it comes with two SIM slots and third one (dedicated, separate ) memory card slot?
          How's real world camera performance?
          Does it heat significantly to make it uncomfortable?
          Regards

                  I wanted to write a review of Moto X Play 32gb which I bought, just after launch. This phone's stock Android is a pain in the a**. Marshmallow is the same.
                  Every time you need to do anything small, you have to go deep inside and change in the settings. Xiaomi MI2's UI was much better. Motorola guys should start tweaking it a bit.
                  Apart from that it's an amazing piece. It's best part is the Battery Life. Looks good too. Daytime Camera is very good. Rest all is good.
                  One more thing, its glass got something of a slight muffled scratch right in the middle upper half. On taking out of the cover I found the top area of sim tray has got slight abrased.
                  But overall a must have in this price.

                          One Major Drawback is that all Moto Mobiles are not having Call Blocking and Message Blocking. even No Apps are available in market to Block Messages. If we use any App to Black a message, still that particular message comes into our INBOX. So.. First Moto Has to Fix this issue.. Other mobiles are able Block the message and calls like, Samsung, LG and ASUS... but why MOTO company is not found that issue

                                      Absolutely love mine. If it lasts two years, it's not getting replaced for my contract's duration.



                                      The review states it has no flash for the FFCam, I'm assuming this refers to an LED flash, as mine definitely has the on-screen flash.
