The MOTO X PLAY is a new introduction by MOTOROLA to give a flagship device-like features at a comparatively low price point. But does it have the strength, the resilience to survive against so many competitive devices at this price point? Read further to find out.

DISPLAY:

The MOTO X PLAY sports a 5.5 inch Full HD display. It has a resolution  of 1080 x 1920 pixels generating a 403 ppi. It has a CORNING GORILLA GLASS 3 to protect the display. It indeed is a steal at this price.

PROCESSOR:

The processor used in this device is Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 paired with 2 GB of RAM. It doesn’t disappoint in ‘the number of cores’ section either because it has an octa-core processor. It consists of a quad core 1.7 GHz cortex A-53 and another quad core 1.0 GHz cortex A- 53 processor. It has an Adreno 405 GPU. Most people who buy phones on the basis of a device’s processor will be more than happy with this beast.

CAMERA:

It has a 21 mega-pixel camera at the back and a 5 mega-pixel selfie camera! Other camera features include geo-tagging, face detection, panaroma, HDR, dual-LED flash and autofocus among others. MOTOROLA has promised that the latest MOTO devices will be capable of capturing excellent pics even in low light.        

MEMORY:

MOTO X PLAY comes in two variants, a 16 GB model and 32 GB one. It can also be expanded using a micro SD card up to 128 GB. So it doesn’t really make a difference and I will advice you to go for the 16 GB model.

BATTERY:

It has a mega, huge, long-lasting battery of 3630 mAh. It means you will never run out of charge throughout the day.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

It’s a MOTOROLA device so there will be no bloat-ware or useless in-built applications which you cannot delete. There are 4-5 very useful applications by MOTOROLA. By using MOTO HELP you can easily chat with a MOTROLA employee who can answer your queries and help you if you are experiencing any problems. One of the best is the MOTO VOICE which is your personal assistant. You can even set your own personal commands to personalize it. It even supports faster charging using MOTOROLA'S TURBO charger.

CONCLUSION:

It is priced at Rs.18,499 for the 16 GB model and at Rs.19,999 for the 32 GB model. A bang for the buck? Yes. YOU get more than what you pay for. I think you should definitely go for the MOTO X PLAY without having any second thoughts.
