Wait...according to The Verge, no carrier will sell the Moto X Style in the US, wtf is wrong with them?

Aren't we getting that, but it's going to be called Pure or some shit like that? And you have to buy it right from them?

Correct, but that means no financing or subsidized phones, which is how most Americans buy their phones. This is going to be a shit show.

Maybe, but if you think about it, if you buy it outright, basically every major carrier makes your monthly bill cheaper if you fully own the phone.

Like if it works the same way my phone does now for Verizon, you would only be paying $15 a month instead of $40 because of that. Save $25 over 24 months is $600. So you're paying less.

 

[Jazzy Network]

So OP is claiming it takes over 3 hours to fully charge the OPT? Lol seriously?

The Moto X devices personify what's wrong with Android device selection as a whole. I've said it a million times but it unfortunately always boils down to a "pick your poison" game. No fingerprint here but fingerprint there, but battery worse here and camera worse there, and this and that and so on and so forth. It shouldn't be this hard lol.

Anyway if I understood it all correctly it looks like a skip for me. I think OP2 is better as a backup if nexus falls through. Honestly though the huawei nexus will be better than anything here even if it is priced higher and you have to use a carrier upgrade. Will be worthwhile. That is if you're looking for a 5.7 incher.

I could deal with 5.7". At least it's not the Edge, which is just plain uncomfortable. Am I wishful in thinking that they really do do the 5.7" and 5.2" Nexus phones?

Even if it's doesn't have fingerprint, if it all turns out fine, then it'll be great for the price.

I buy my phones like that, but no one else I know does lol.


Edit:also phones this year

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Noooo. I overslept and missed out on the conference with you guys

 

[solarus]

The moto style looks pretty killer, its just too big for me. My s6 would be perfect if its battery life wasn't shit, only thing making me want to switch. If the camera matches the s6 I'd consider swapping to the style but the lack of a fingerprint sensor is pretty huge IMO.

 

[Sid]

I'd like a Moto X Style Mini Pure

Yeah, I'm looking to upgrade from my Moto X 2013 and now the Nexus is my last hope, but even that's not until November.

I missed out on the real-time disappointment.

the huawei nexus is likely out late october barring any delays so you should have a good idea of it by leaks by mid august/september.

Not sure about the LG nexus.

Ranks equal to Note 4 with the only better phone being the S6.

Wow. I think my friend will be getting this.

Watch the note 5 completely blow it out of the water.

Google ain't gonna save shit. I'd love to eat crow though. Skip year indeed.

Such Confusion. Moto X Pure Edition is the Moto X for the US, Not the Style or Play

Best budget android with a selfie camera for an 11 year old - moto E? Looking for something <£100, would be a replacement for a lumia 530.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Since the Moto X Pure is going at $399... what the hell is the onboard storage looking like? I wish we knew if the memory was LPDDR4 or not.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

So the Moto X is a bust then? I haven't been keeping up.

 

[Cheebo]

So the Moto X is a bust then? I haven't been keeping up.

Exact opposite of a bust. Fantastic specs for $399 off contract.

 

[kinggroin]

So the Moto X is a bust then? I haven't been keeping up.

Its probably the winningest phone so far this year. So no, not a bust.


Just a lot of people with puny size hands

CONFUSING AS FUCK

WAY TO GO MOTO

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Really outside of it being huge (con for some) and no fingerprint, it is has some damn good hardware for the price. Now all we need to know is how much internal space is in the $399.

I just went and looked it up anyway and dayum it really is the N6 Little brother. Big phones are great embrace them O.O

No Uk price on the new Moto but i'm still all in for the OP2

 

[Vanillalite]

So the Moto X is a bust then? I haven't been keeping up.

There are fucking multiple versions of everything announced today so it's confusing as fuck what is legit and what isn't.

 

[HawkeyeIC]

There's a 16GB option, so $399 for will buy you that. Hopefully they don't get crazy with the price jump to 32GB.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Wow the Moto X Play is literally my perfect phone. Huge battery, nice design, good screen, good sounding camera, fast charging, and stock Android. And only $400 in Canada.

Definitely upgrading my Moto G.

Also, it's strange how Canada gets the Moto X Style and Play while US gets the actual Moto X.

EDIT: Never mind apparently Canada isn't even getting the high end Moto X at all. I'm not getting it but WTF Motorola?

 

[Cheebo]

CONFUSING AS FUCK

WAY TO GO MOTO

the article goes on to state it is the Moro x style in specs and hardware. It IS the style.

 

[EmiPrime]

With a fingerprint reader and USB-C Motorola could have had a winner.

Googy save us pls.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Went onto the Moto site here and it seems clear enough

Only the new G is available though it seems.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Was it confirmed to be 16GB for that price?

Oh shit, I see it now, $400 for 16, then probably 450 and 500 for 32GB and 64GB respectively, is what I think.

 

[brotkasten]

Is €499 for the X in Europe confirmed?

 

[Cheebo]

Was it confirmed to be 16GB for that price?

Seeing how the price was announced it was starting at $399 and 16 GB was announced as the base line storage seems pretty obvious.

Yeah, I didn't notice that till now. Just not too obvious, for me anyways.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I'd say it's confusing but it's hitting the right notes for me. If the Nexus is lackluster I'll be getting the Moto X. Or the Xperia.

 

[Jazzy Network]

So uh what are the Moto X Pure specs?

X Style Pure has the same specs as the X Style.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

qHD with an 3,000 mAh battery worries me, but other than that, bravo, Motorola.

Also, the Moto X Play not coming to the US reeks of Verizon shenanigans. The rumored Droid Maxx 2 is probably based on it. We saw a similar thing with the Maxx 1. Everyone else got the GSM version; the US did not.

 

[HawkeyeIC]

Probably will end up with one, but this thing was a fingerprint sensor from being instabuy.

 

[Vanillalite]

So uh what are the Moto X Pure specs?

808
3 gig of RAM
5.7" screen
21MP Camera

The Pure IS THE STYLE just a different name for North America

$399 (US) gets you the 16 gig version. Sold off contract only.

Oh shit, I see it now, $400 for 16, then probably 450 and 500 for 32GB and 64GB respectively, is what I think.

Still not a bad price considering it next to the Moto X second gen. Almost $500 for 32GB with the cyber Monday discount.
