The Moto X Style is the company’s most premium smartphone set to hit the market this year, and can be considered the true spiritual successor to the 2014 Moto X. It includes a metal frame with premium soft silicon material on the back for a nice grip, look and feel. Here’s a look at its early spec sheet you can look forward to:

5.7-inch Quad HD display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4
1.8GHz Hexa-Core Snapdragon 808
3GB of RAM, 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of storage w/ microSD slot (up to 128GB)
3,000mAh battery with TurboPower offering 50% more charge speed than Samsung Galaxy S6’s fast charging
21 Megapixel f/2.0 aperture camera with 4K video recording
5 Megapixel wide-angle front camera with flash
Front-facing speakers
WiFi AC + MIMO, Bluetooth 4.1 LTE, GPS and NFC
153.9 mm tall, 76.2 mm wide and 6.1-11.06 mm curve
Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box
$200 to $300 less than other flagships
Full Moto Maker customization with genuine wood and leather options
One of the other cool things about the Moto X Style is that there will be a “Pure Edition” of the device. This gives you a fully unlocked model that can be used on AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile with the simple action of swapping SIM cards or calling a carrier to get it activated. It’s a nice option for those who anticipate the need to jump from carrier to carrier down the line. It’ll be available through Best Buy, Amazon and Motorola, and will only be available in the United States.

$399. UNLOCKED

Does it have NFC?

I'm suddenly very interested in this after yesterday's OPT disappointment 5.7 inches is HUGE though.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Does it have NFC?

Yes.

What is the difference between the Moto X Style and the Moto X Play?

 

[darkness_s]

That's a pretty good price.

I much rather have the Play. Why are they holding it back from the US?

 

[Turin Turambar]

Someone make a comparison with the OnePlus 2.

If you're American it doesn't matter.

 

[butalala]

If you're American it doesn't matter.

That's disappointing. I guess people who are interested in smaller phones with better battery life are a minority in the U.S.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Looks like the camera is the real deal:

We did not have too much time with the new Motorola Moto X Style but we like what we have seen so far. Image detail in bright light is impressive, and in lower light a well-balanced approach to noise reduction means that a lot of detail is preserved while noise isn't getting too intrusive until the very highest sensitivity levels.

I resized the image as it was too big to upload, the original sample is here

 

[Symphonia]

Does it run stock Android or have Moto modded it?

 

[kingocfs]

5.7 inches is too big.

 

[Fezan]

Does it run stock Android or have Moto modded it?

Almost stock

 

[a secret-boss]

moto x Play has more battery than regular?

 

[scott!]

"5.7” TFT LCD" per Motorola's website. No more OLED?

 

[massoluk]

I have no idea cellphones are at Hexa-core and Octa-core now.

 

[Dead Prince]

idk why but i'm so loving the pink.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

moto x Play has more battery than regular?

Yes, 3630mAh. The Style has 3000mAh.

 

[Fezan]

"5.7” TFT LCD" per Motorola's website. No more OLED?

Most probably due to lower price

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I want the Play with the smaller screen. And price.

 

[tycoonheart]

More like Moto Sex. Amirite guys? Amirite?

 

[sarcastor]

$180/220 for Moto G
$300 for Moto X play (but not in the $%!@$ US)
$400 for Moto X

If they released the X Play in the US, they would basically cornered the market on android phones. Fast updates, no bloatware, SD support. What more do you want?

 

[tabs2002]

If the new Nexus disappoints, I'm getting the Play version

 

[kinggroin]

Damnit. What's the point of the One Plus anything now.


So my wife may be going N6-> Moto Style for the colors, SD card and camera.


Not bad, I imagine it'll be a clean swap if not coming out with extra cash.

 

[Moreche]

Is this the same size as the nexus 6?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Is this the same size as the nexus 6?

No that is 5.96".

 

[Bots are better than you]

Looks and sounds awesome ... i wanted to retire my trusty old N5 this year ... but i also want to wait for Google to unveil their annual flagship-phones .... argh decisions.

But yeah, OP2 just got a massive competitor in it's price range ... with near stock android, too!

 

[dork]

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but does this have the wireless charging?

 

[Kanye]

I'd like it if it didn't have that huge metal piece around the camera.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

The Moto X Play sounds like my perfect phone. Any reason why it's not coming to the US?

 

[King Gilga]

5.7 is too much.

But yeah if I wanted another phone right now this or the play would be super tempting.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

iPhone 6 only has 1gb of ram? Goddamn

 

[Vyse The Legend]

The Moto X Play sounds like my perfect phone. Any reason why it's not coming to the US?

Reeks of Verizon.

I assume the rumored Droid Maxx 2 will be based on the Moto X Play -- hence why the US isn't seeing the unlocked version.

 

[mattp]

oh come ON

5.5 and 5.7? what the fuck
stop. making. phones. bigger.


5 and 5.7 would have been so much better

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Reeks of Verizon.

Dammit. I mean, I just got a new phone recently, so it's not too big of a deal. But man does that phone sound good.

 

[NaM]

Holy shit at the Play battery.

This isn't on T Mobile I assume, all Verizon?

 

[neogaffer1]

all 4 carriers

 

[ShaoranWright]

For once feels good to be latinamerican, I'm getting de Moto X Play, the specs are great and that battery, damn!

 

[cLOUDo]

Someone make a comparison with the OnePlus 2.

OnePlus 2 Without NFC
Moto X Style With NFC




no fingerprint scanner,right?

 

[mreddie]

all 4 carriers

Dammit, G4 or this?

 

[massoluk]

I reread the specs, the price, the features. I can't find anything wrong with it. This can't be right. There gotta be a catch somewhere.

High specs, nice camera, good price, sd card support, all band, large battery, pure android. There have to be catch somewhere, a phone can't be this perfect.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

When does this release? I was thinking 1+2, but this looks better.

Any word on NFC and fingerprint?

 

[Dead Prince]

they say september.

 

[AndyD]

So we have a new G at $200, a new X Play at 299 and X Style at 399?

720p, 1080p, QHD?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

When's the Play releasing in Canada? Only twelve days left in August, still haven't gotten a date.
