It was a global announcement event in Brazil, England and the US, and they threw up this slide.

READING

I couldn't read the slide on the Verge website. My fucking bad. I can actually read that.

 

[Admodieus]

Odd, storage performance was good. What apps top battery usage?

Nothing but Google Play Services. It just destroys the battery and performance of the phone.

 

[Vanillalite]

Do we have actual pricing on the 2 gig G or just the 1 gig?

 

[Talon]

Never mind, Motorola finally clarifies. They'll still sell through Carriers as well. They're just focusing on direct sales at this event.

Motorola is bad at Product Marketing even after they're sold from Google.

 

[Ty4on]

Maybe I was writing the post before the other post was posted.
Just maybe.

You're not using a device that can multitask? ^^

God I hate posting on an Android device when I've used a computer. The UI is just so slow and clunky for handling multiple websites and apps at the same time.

 

[Talon]

Do we have actual pricing on the 2 gig G or just the 1 gig?

It's up on: https://www.motorola.com/us/motomaker?pid=FLEXR4&action=designNew

$179.99 for 8GB Storage/1GB Ram
$219.99 for 16GB/2GB Ram

 

[jwk94]

400 for the style is pretty good.

 

[Sid]

400 for the style is pretty good.

SD 615 tho....is it good?

 

[Wreav]

I still can't decide what market the Style is going after. Phablet size with no phab features...

And yet, it's ticking every one of the most wanted features boxes...great battery, great camera (on paper), NO 810, decent RAM, no bloat, cheap.

SD 615 tho....is it good?

NOBODY READS

 

[DrFunk]

SD 615 tho....is it good?

The Style has an 808. The X Play has the 615

 

[Cheebo]

SD 615 tho....is it good?

What?

It is a SD 808. It is right on their website.

Sounds like a factory reset, if you haven't already, could fix that. I totally corrupted Play Services when I updated to 5.0 (N4) so I have bad experiences with it
In that case though everything fucked up with the phone not even able to connect to a PC.

 

[Zombie James]

The Moto G looks like a contender to replace my N4 when the time comes. Would be nice if the screen were 1080p but the Canadian price is $200 which isn't bad at all considering the exchange rate. Same camera as the N6, too.

 

[brotkasten]

"available fall 2015"

What a waste of time for everyone. Why are companies still doing this?

SD 615 tho....is it good?

The Style has the SD808 (same as the LG G4).

 

[……forgetit]

SD 615 tho....is it good?

Thought the style was 808 and the the other one was 615.

 

[Sid]

Eurgh....got Play confused with Style

This along with my posts is the reason this is fucked up. They can't present the info worth shit so everyone is confused as fuck.

That's on Moto.

 

[Talon]

lol, Motorola.

Moto X Pure is the Moto X Style that's stock and sold direct.
Moto X Style is the carrier version.
Moto X Play isn't coming to the US.

Product Marketing. How does it work?

 

[Junior Mint]

I just heard they put a Snapdragon 615 into the Moto X guys.

 

[Kiraly]

Moto X Style starts at 499 EUR, Moto X Play at 379 EUR (The Netherlands).

 

[Sid]

I just heard they put a Snapdragon 615 into the Moto X guys.

You heard right,it's in the Moto X Play

 

[brotkasten]

Moto X Play isn't coming to the US.

They should just shit on people for not reading, because that's clearly the problem.

 

[giga]

Why is it so hard for oems to make 5" phones with top of the line internals.

 

[Wreav]

lol, Motorola.

Moto X Pure is the Moto X Style that's stock and sold direct.

Moto X Play isn't coming to the US.

There is literally nothing different here than what they've done before. Where they fucked up is having a multi-national press conference to announce it.

No one gives two fucks that the Moto Maxx is the Droid Turbo. It doesn't lead to any brand confusion, because we don't live in two separate countries.

You'll go to your carrier, and they'll have the Moto Style. You'll get it or you won't. You'll go to Amazon and they'll have the Pure Edition with the same specs (minus the battery). You'll get it or you won't.

 

[Cheebo]

The Moto X Play is not even coming to America. No need to be confused.

 

[soundahfekz]

Why is it so hard for oems to make 5" phones with top of the line internals.

cause they're run by asshats

 

[Junior Mint]

Moto X Pure/Style could have been a home run at 5"

 

[brotkasten]

Why is it so hard for oems to make 5" phones with top of the line internals.

Because customers want at least 5.5" and not a single inch less. 5" is for poor people.

 

[Drifters]

LULZ.

[Cheebo]

The interest in high-end 5' phones is not worth it, going bigger makes the most sense.

 

[this_guy]

What?

It is a SD 808. It is right on their website.

http://www.motorola.com/us/smartphones/moto-x-pure.html

It has all the LTE bands for AT&T, T-Mobile, and even Sprint (including cdma for voice). Pretty nice option if you're looking for stock Android, just wish there was a smaller screen option.

 

[HawkeyeIC]

How did Moto put a smaller battery in a bigger phone? WTF?

 

[Wreav]

How did Moto put a smaller battery in a bigger phone? WTF?

cutting costs, how does it work?

 

[Admodieus]

How did Moto put a smaller battery in a bigger phone? WTF?

Still scratching my head over this one.

 

[Zombie Lyle]

Does anyone know when the Moto G will go on sale in the UK?

 

[HawkeyeIC]

They only had two jobs... Fix camera and up the battery life.

 

[DrFunk]

How did Moto put a smaller battery in a bigger phone? WTF?

The Style would've been priced out of it's league if it included a bigger battery - Asus, ZTE, and OnePlus are examples of who they're up against now

Actually, it is quite different. On the Motomaker site, the (2014) Moto X is a single product, and you can select a Pure edition (or carrier edition) as the very last step in the process. Also, Amazon sells a generic "unlocked GSM version" of the Moto X - not the Moto Pure.

Currently, the Moto X Pure is an entirely different product line within the dropdown.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

No price for the Moto X in £?

Just looks like a baby N6

 

[Vanillalite]

All of these new phone announcements and ASUS of all fucking companies stays winning.

They have the best 2 phones to currently buy not named the GS6/Edge.

The $200 model wipes the floor with the Moto G, and the $300 is as fast as the other inexpensive flagships while being cheaper than them all.

 

[Wreav]

Then buy your carrier's version, not the Pure. This isn't rocket science.

Get off Wreav's lawn this morning peeps

Lost in all the PMM fuckery - no USB-C.

$300 to $400 less than the other phones*

* - not actually sold in dollars.

 

[jwk94]

Yeah no type c or fingerprint scanner is gonna hurt the device.

 

[Drifters]

Lost in all the PMM fuckery - no USB-C.

So what--- If they claim it charges 50% faster than a Galaxy 6, then I'm onboard.

 

[thenexus6]

UK moto maker is up for the G but its not working yet..Also "from £179.99" makes me think the 2GB / 16GB version will be around £200-220?

 

[RuGalz]

Moto's line looks great. Too bad no finger print scanner. So I guess I maybe more interested next year if the 5.2" size also releases in the US.

 

[Hasney]

Micro USB is just fine, USB C is a nice to have but not big deal, same with fingerprint scanning really. I certainly wouldn't base my purchase on them.

Rest of the phone(s) don't sound too hot anyway though.

 

[brotkasten]

Lost in all the PMM fuckery - no USB-C.

Fall 2015 launch, no USB Type C, no biometric scanner, new Moto 360 at an event later this year.
