What is
This is the new flagship of Motorola Moto X after his successful 2014. This year, the family grows with three models: the Moto X Play midrange, the leathery Moto X Force and the Moto X Style before us today. It is a smartphone Android high end (almost phablet by size) which competes with phones like the Nexus 6P or the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
Why is it important?
First, because Motorola is the best of the year, the terminal with which the company will play in the first division of smartphones in the coming months. It is also important because, except for a few minor flaws, is a solid smartphone and balanced at a more affordable than the limit current price range.
Moto X Pure Edition in the US
In Europe we know as Moto X Style, but in the United States is called Moto X Pure Edition. Both are exactly the same phone. An interesting detail is the price. If you live in America, you’re going to go through there or know someone who lives in the country, the terminal you will quite cheaper
- Pricing Moto X Style in Spain. 520 euros (Amazon ES)
- Pricing Moto X Pure Edition in the US: $ 450 (Amazon US). The official starting price on the website of Motorola is 399.
So you’ll buy more beautiful. In Spain, the Moto X Style only available with rear covered in white or black plastic. Okay, but it is a pale reflection of the roofs in wood, bamboo or leather with metallic color finishes that can be configured using the online service Moto Maker.
Odious comparisons
They are odious, yes, but you have to make. What looks like the Moto X Style? The answer is the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Which, incidentally, is very good news. Obviously, this comparison does not speak of the design of the terminal and has many shades. The Note 5 is more powerful in terms of processor or battery is thinner and has its effective stylus.
On the count in his favor, the Moto X Style has a better camera and 200 euros cheaper 5. Note that both are almost identical in size and have exceptional screen. The Moto X Style is also the same height as the Nexus 6P, or Z5 Premium Xperia. A comparative table clarifies Faster:
What you need to know
- The X Moto Android 5.1.1 Lollipop Style brings factory installed, but is on the list of those that will be updated Marshmallow. In fact, it will do at the end of this month of November or in December in the United States. In the rest of the world should not take.
- The Motorola on Android customization is minimal, and the application has to transfer data is very useful. The worst Motorola software? The camera application.
- It is a very large smartphone (5.7 inch are many inches), but does not feel great. Motorola has done an excellent job rushing full frames to sculpt a terminal, having more screen than the iPhone 6 Plus is smaller than this. Moto X Style is 11.06 mm at its thickest part, but the curvature makes it look much thinner. It will not bother you or your hand or pocket.
- With a Qualcomm 808 six-core processor and 3GB of RAM, the Moto X Style not on top of more powerful chips, but you will not notice the difference. It behaves nobly in video games, video 4K and multitasking. In the synthetic test it fails to Snapdragon Xperia Z5 810 or Galaxy Note the Exynos 5 to S6, but is above the LG G4. In short, the power should not worry. Moreover, the Moto X style has MicroSD card slot of up to 128GB, which is lacking in many recent Android.
- The battery is correct. We reached for the whole day and still had plenty, but nothing more. There are other more battery Android now. The good news is that the rapid charging system delivers what it promises. Within half an hour you’ll be ready for action again.
- With front and 5Mpx flash, front camera is not the most top-end, but I will not lock you in the selfies .
- Motorola says Moto X camera Style is the best market in smartphones. Xperia Z5 probably have something to say about it, but there’s no doubt that it is very good camera. The new stabilized optical sensor and behave beautifully in photos in good light, macro or indoors. Even in situations with high contrast HDR camera does a good trabajo.La has only one but: the night scenes. That approach is getting too slow and the noise increases exponentially, but that is something he shares with most smartphones. Part of the blame lies with the camera application, which falls far short.

Stock outdoors in good light.
General Photo.
The same picture with the zoom to the maximum.
Even in very contrasting photos, the sensor gets a lot of information in dark areas. Soon we manipulate the image we could highlight that information with considerable success.
Night Shot on tripod. Not bad, but the Moto X Style does not move well at night. Excessive noise and difficulty focusing.
This photo shows one thing very well: color fidelity. Camera Moto X Style achieves very close colors to real in most situations.
Example of “macro” mode. It does not, but behaves very closely. Again, the colors are a success.
We like
- The design can not be very innovative compared to previous Motorola, but manufacturing is good. The Moto X Style is a solid and nice smartphone that gets through small with a very large screen.
- Speaking of screen, is spectacular. It is very bright, has poor contrast and sharpness is excellent.
- double front speaker is maintained, which greatly increases the sound stuck in film and music.
- The main camera is fast, light and makes good use of image stabilization and HDR. Particularly noteworthy color fidelity.
We hate
- The camera application completely detract from the hardware. It is no serious problem (installed the Android and running), but an unresolved for Motorola.
- No fingerprint sensor and increasingly are more accustomed to using it.
- Motorola, queen, why we can not have your nicest smartphones in Spain? Why we still Moto Maker?
Am I buy
Short answer: yes, without doubt. Long answer: if you’re looking for is a solid Android, with good power, and that is not much fire in price, the Moto X style is an excellent choice. In addition, you get one of the best smartphone cameras on the market and a screen that gives glory to see it. Cons (bad camera application, power is not more than most, and normal battery) are irrelevant. Little more to say.
