Motorola Moto X 1. Gen 2013

Motorola is now owned by Google and the Moto X is the first offering from the new owner. It has a simple clean look with 10.4mm thickness tapering to 5.6mm at the edges and a light weight at 130 grams. Unfortunately, the Moto X does not look well built, or feel sturdy with plastic looks and plastic buttons that feel flimsy and shaky. But the looks do belie it’s sturdy construction that can withstand hard drops and knocks. If its cheap looks are of concern, then there is a promised Moto Maker feature which allows customization of color and there are hints on an upcoming wooden Moto X to be released in future.

Its 4.7 inch AMOLED screen features a resolution of 720p and vibrant and saturated colors. The biggest strength of this device are the tweaks and features Motorola's software. One of them is Active Display. Sensors illuminate the screen when pulled from a pocket or flipped over, and will display the time and any new notification available. It makes the repeated everyday tasks of checking time and notifications so simple. The other even more outstanding feature of the Moto X is the unbelievable, revolutionary 24 hour battery life. The price matches the highest-end phones on the market, yet not its performance. While the Moto X cannot keep up with the competition here, there are other reasons to like it.

Unique and suave. It will likely be the last smartphone that Motorola makes under Google's authority. The Moto X offers a few extraordinary features and rather conservative looks. Can Motorola score with it a last time?
Motorola Moto X 2013 vs second-generation, new Moto X 2014 comparison: The 2014 Moto X is better, but how much better? (This much.)
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
So the second-generation Moto X is categorically better than its predecessor. Significantly so. It has a much more powerful spec, and the display is what we hoped we'd see on the 2013 version. The camera is now worth your consideration, and it is a thin and light smartphone. We liked the original Moto X, but the 2014 flavour is definitely worth the upgrade.

Almost everything about the new Moto X is improved over its predecessor, not solely for its specs, but for its overall performance. From call quality, design, and its camera performance, the new Moto X bears all of the incremental improvements to earn the rigid qualities of a true successor. The only thing that most people will face when deciding between the two is their size – where we feel that the old Moto X has the perfect one for comfort and usability.

90% Motorola Moto X review: A brilliant Android experience under Rs 25,000
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
At Rs 23,999, Motorola is easily offering the best Android experience outside the Nexus clan and we feel this is the phone to get under Rs 25,000. For this price, you’re getting features that are not available even in the most expensive Android phone today. Add to that support for Wi-Fi ‘ac’, Miracast and the latest version of Android and you have yourself a pretty future proof device. The Moto X proves that it’s not how many cores you squeeze in that matters but how you utilise them. The dual-core CPU gives even octa-core chipsets a run for their money.

80% Moto X review: The new Moto in town redefines mid-range
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
We had reviewed the Moto G (Review) and can attest to the fact that the Moto X runs much, much faster and smoother. Tasks like games, image editing and even routine switching between apps happen quicker. The camera is not very inspiring, and battery performance could have been better. However, the Moto X with its unique software enhancements still comes out looking like a winner. It might not be a game changer with its specifications, as there are now devices which boast octa-core processors and higher resolution screens, but the Moto X is definitely a contender in the mid-range segment. That said, it comes with a stiff price tag of Rs. 23,999 which puts it against some tough competition.

100% Moto G review
Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
The Motorola Moto G is the finest £135 phone ever made. It’s not perfect and it doesn’t have everything that a more expensive phone has, but at every turn Motorola seems to have made the right design decisions, while pushing the price down even further than penny-pinchers ZTE and Huawei have done in recent years. The Motorola Moto G is one of the best phones of the year, and the first time we’ve seen a phone of this calibre launch at under £200 SIM-free. That it’s so much cheaper than £200 is a minor miracle. This phone deserves to sell by the bucketload.

90% Motorola Moto X review: The best Android experience under Rs 25,000
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
The Moto X and Moto G might look similar but that’s where the similarities end. The G remains one of the best budget droids around but the Moto X offers you so much more. Not only is it more powerful, it has a better display, camera, intuitive controls and fits everyone’s pocket (quite literally as well). We do have a few niggles with the phone like the over-simplistic camera UI. It would have been nice if we had the option to drop the video resolution as not everyone shoots in 1080p. Provision for a microSD card would have also been welcomed. But if you have the budget, look no further than the Moto X for the best Android experience under Rs 25,000.

As a tongue-in-cheek requested, I asked “Which is the best smartphone?” Three models were mentioned but none of them had the Motorola brand. I do not think this answer had anything to do with Google’s decision to sell Motorola to Lenovo. This is an excellent smartphone. Initially it will be exclusive to Phones 4u for three months before appearing on the shelves of Carphone Warehouse, O2, Amazon and Techdata.

Summing up our experience with the Motorola Moto X is fairly tricky. On the one hand, being released in the UK six months later than it should have been, the Moto X doesn't offer comparable specifications to other smartphones in its £380 price bracket, such as the Google Nexus 5. However, on many levels its software manages to countermand this. The Moto X is one of a select number of smartphones to run using the latest version of Google's operating system. Even better, Motorola has chosen not to radically change the OS's user interface and has chosen to load it with a bare minimum of custom applications, the majority of which are actually pretty useful. This not only means the Moto X is one of the most intuitive Android phones to use, it also means it's a lot faster than you'd expect. This is because the dual-core processor isn't overloaded with mundane tasks like unwanted widgets, or background tasks as it is on skinned versions of Android.

The Moto X is a solid phone for Android users who are not picky about their camera. The build quality is good, and it has a few bells and whistles like Active Display that add to the overall enjoyable experience of using the phone. For UK residents, another drawback is the £399.95 price of the phone, which puts the Moto X among the most expensive in the smartphone market. When all is said and done, I am happy with the Moto X and will keep it as a backup phone. I only paid $349 (£215 or €184) for it, and it’s definitely worth that cost. It’ll be handy to pull out when I need a phone that is reliable, but it’s not a phone I will pull out to impress my friends with “a check out this cool feature” the next time we are out.

Motorola has come up with a respectable phone in the Moto X, but it's far too late to the party, and it just costs too much. It's also too similar to its even lower cost sibling, the Moto G, sharing the same screen resolution, shape and nearly the same size, which makes the Moto X's far higher price questionable. It's a shame, as its touchless controls are brilliant and could signal the future for other Android phones, but for this particular blower, even with its flagship status, it's just too little, too late.

For a flagship phone the Moto X comes in at a very reasonable price. Performance and software are both excellent but the device is lacking that premium feel and is a little way behind the leaders in some areas. Unfortunately, Motorola spent too long bringing it to the UK and without the Moto Maker, so the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and Nexus 5 are better alternatives.

On paper, the Moto X is already fighting a losing battle, it has lost its USP in the form of Moto Maker so you'll only be able to buy it in either Black or White and specs-wise it's down against the Nexus 5 by a considerable margin, despite actually costing more. Of course what you buy isn't just a bunch of numbers and sales jargon, it's a device which you have to use every single day and night, and it's on that basis that we'll judge the Moto X.

The T-Mobile Moto X is physically identical to the Verizon and Sprint models (except without any carrier logo at all), so go look at our full review of the Verizon Moto X for a basic rundown of its hand-friendly design. We'll focus on the differences here. Our Editors' Choice on T-Mobile stays the Samsung Galaxy S4, both for the reasons I explain in the Verizon review and because T-Mobile refuses to offer the Moto X with its equipment installment plan.

It's tempting to write off the Moto X for its midrange specs when compared with heavy-hitters such as the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4. Don't. We love having a personal assistant that answers to our voice without touching the phone, as well as the ability to glance notifications with no effort.

Moto X Smartphone Review
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
There really aren't too many downsides to the Moto X. The rear 10MP camera isn't at the top of its class, and the lack of storage expansion will undoubtedly turn some people off. It's also frustrating that the Moto Maker website -- which allows users to choose the color and accent hues of their phone prior to shipment -- is only available to AT&T customers.

We’re disappointed that the Moto X isn’t making its way to the UK, because it’s one of the best phones Motorola has ever produced. While it doesn’t push the boundaries for processing performance, photographic skills or screen size, it’s a phone that’s designed to be easy to live with and easy to use – and it hits its marks perfectly. The long battery life, sturdy build, pocket-friendly size and various user-orientated interface tweaks and apps make the X one of the friendliest smartphones around.

I have my reservations about the Moto X shipping with an older version of Android and I question how well the X8 system architecture will perform a year from now, but I think Motorola and Google have a winner with their latest handset. It’s not quite a Nexus, but it’s the closest you’re going to get to one while still being on contract somewhere other than T-Mobile.

Motorola Moto X review - Motorola's flagship Android is a winner
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
I have to give Motorola and Google some credit: They've demonstrated that we don't need bleeding-edge specs to get a solid smartphone experience. The Moto X announcement may not have lived up to everyone's hype, but the phone itself is still worth considering. At $200 on contract, you're getting a phone that performs as well as "high-end" smartphones like the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 while still offering helpful extras like Touchless Control and Active Display. I have my reservations about the Moto X shipping with an older version of Android and I question how well the X8 system architecture will perform a year from now, but I think Motorola and Google have a winner with their latest handset.

I like the Moto X. I really, really do. It's the smartest smart object I'm currently carrying on my person and I'm too used to that Active Display to calmly resume life with my DNA. That affinity, however, doesn't necessarily mean I'd buy it if given the chance.

The Android smartphone segment had become something of a cliché, myopically chasing specifications and effectively ignoring functionality in the process. The result has been customized skins of questionable appeal to users, and batteries that can’t keep up with quadcore processors and vast, power-hungry displays.

Moto X vs iPhone 5C smartphone comparison review: cheaper Android matches or betters iPhone in every respect
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
These two handsets are both great, evenly matched for storage, camera and battery life. We expect that no-one would be disappointed with the purchase of either. The Moto X is bigger and bulkier but has a bigger screen. It also has better specs although in real-world terms you won't notice the difference. You will, however, notice the extra £100 you have in your pocket after choosing the Moto X rather than the iPhone 5C. So unless you are wedded to the idea of having an iPhone, we can't honestly recommend you choose the 5C over the Moto X.

The Motorola Moto X gets a lot of things right. It’s halfway to becoming a Nexus-style 'Google' phone, with an interface that’s almost entirely vanilla – although you still won’t get updates as soon as you would with a Nexus device. It’s also quite small for a phone that sits at the top of a company’s range. It has the same size screen as an HTC One, but is a good deal smaller. This is a phone that is tremendously easy to get on with in almost every respect.

Motorola Moto G 1. Gen XT1032

The Motorola Moto G was built to be an affordable device. Sporting looks that are similar to the high end Motorola Moto X, this device has a clean no fuss design with a 4.5 inch display with device dimensions that should facilitate one handed use. A decent enough LCD screen awaits users at 1280 x 720 pixels with 329 ppi. The screen is covered by hardy Gorilla Glass, surprising quality for this price point. Motorola haven't made too many UI changes to the stock Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, and the KitKat update is in the pipeline. Unlike Android devices from other companies, there will be no bloatware added to this device, which means less unnecessary apps that cannot be uninstalled.

Under the hood is the quad-core 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC, Adreno 305 GPU, which is paired with 1 GB of RAM. This should indicate great performance even for demanding games. The lower price of this device becomes justified in light of the 5 MP camera. It's certainly modest, and the 1.3 MP front facing camera is nothing but functional. No micro SD slot is available, and options range from 8 GB to 16 GB, so lack of storage space may pose an issue for some users. Another area where the Moto G takes a hit is in the fact that it carries a HSPA+ chip instead of an LTE chip. This means limited upload and download speeds which can't take full advantage of 4G networks. The 2070 mAh battery should provide a full day of use, but is not particularly spectacular. Despite the downsides mentioned this is a device which look like one of the best bargains available in the budget market on paper.

The new Motorola Moto G (2014) has a larger screen, better cameras and front facing stereo speakers. Pretty much everything else remains the same so there are only a few upgrades here and the dual-SIM feature will be only useful to a handful of users. It's not a must have upgrade if you have the original Moto G and if you need 4G support then the Moto G2 doesn't offer it.

Motorola has seemingly found success in the entry-level market, and it obviously shows with its Moto G smartphones. Before its introduction, owning a decent performing basic smartphone meant forking over $200 to pick up – so the feeling felt rewarding when we found out that the original model would bear an easy-to-pay price of $179.99. Of course, Motorola realized this advantage and has once again graced its new Moto G with the same, lovely price point.

The Motorola Moto G is the finest £135 phone ever made. It’s not perfect and it doesn’t have everything that a more expensive phone has, but at every turn Motorola seems to have made the right design decisions, while pushing the price down even further than penny-pinchers ZTE and Huawei have done in recent years. This is a phone that can do almost everything a Nexus 5 can – or at least everything 90 per cent of the population would want to do with the phone. If you want a sub-£150, or even sub-£200, phone, this is the one to go for.

This is a phone that can do almost everything a Nexus 5 can – or at least everything 90 per cent of the population would want to do with the phone. If you want a sub-£150, or even sub-£200, phone, this is the one to go for.

Best budget smartphone 2014: Motorola Moto G vs Motorola Moto E comparison review
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
You might have come to our Motorola Moto G vs Motorola Moto E comparison review wondering why on earth we are comparing the specifications of two smartphones from the same company with a £60 price difference; clearly the more expensive Motorola Moto G is going to best the £89 Moto E on the hardware front. Actually, what we've learned is that although the Motorola Moto G has the better specification, the Moto E's hardware is sufficient that it will be a great fit for many users - and especially so when you consider that those in the market for a budget smartphone don't expect to get ultimate performance. The Motorola Moto E might not have as good a screen or as much storage or processing- and graphics power as the Moto G, nor its support for 4G and microSD expansion. But it does do everything most people will require, and at a staggeringly good price. It truly looks to be the best budget smartphone money can buy.

Motorola's Moto G is the best budget smartphone around. At £135 it's got great build quality, an excellent screen, decent cameras and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean soon to be upgrade to 4.4 KitKat. It's only limited in the storage department and a lack of 4G support.

90% Motorola Moto G review: The smartphone that could change the budget landscape
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
The Moto G retails at Rs 12,499 for the 8GB and Rs 13,999 for the 16GB. This makes it the best, value-for-money offering under Rs 15,000 and quite possibly under Rs 20,000 as well. Sure, there are better spec’d handsets at this price but if given a choice, would you really pick an untested local brand over a seasoned OEM? Impressive specifications are no good if you don’t have regular software and firmware updates to add new features and iron out bugs.

Moto G vs iPhone 5C comparison review: Save money or get the iPhone 5S - why the iPhone 5C is a compromise too far
Source: Macworld.co.uk English Archive.org version
These two handsets are both great, evenly matched for storage and performance. We expect that no-one would be disappointed with the purchase of either. The Moto G is bigger and bulkier but has a bigger screen. You will, however, notice the extra money you have in your pocket after choosing the Moto G rather than the iPhone 5C. However, the iPhone 5C has a better camera and greater storage options. And we also prefer iOS to Android - although that is a subjective thing. Finally the iPhone's battery life is better. If you want a budget phone, the Moto G wins. But for all other users the iPhone 5C may well be the better bet. Here comes the controversy: I don't know why you would get the iPhone 5C. If cost is your concern, buy a true budget phone. If you want the best, get an iPhone 5S. Opting for the iPhone 5C is a penny pinching compromise of the worst kind.

The Moto G is currently the only budget handset to run Kitkat. It offers snappy user experience, and excellent multimedia performance. Moreover, it’s a handy phone with a sharp HD IPS screen. On the other hand, its camera is disappointing. True, the phone is affordable, but then the Lumia 720 offers an excellent camera at a similar price. The bigger concern however is the call quality, which of course is the primary task of a cellphone.

100% Motorola Moto G review
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
It's easily the best budget smartphone we've ever seen, redefining what we mean by that term. It's largely equivalent to the Sony Xperia SP, which is quicker in benchmarks, but not noticeably in day-to-day use, but has less battery life and only Android 4.1. It cost around £300 back in June 2013 when we reviewed it, and costs £220 today if you shop around. The Moto G knocks a huge £85 off that price SIM free. The Motorola Moto G single-handedly says goodbye to compromised, sluggish budget smartphone and potentially kills off the mid-range competition too. Simply put, if you're not buying a top-end handset, then the Moto G is the obvious choice.

The Moto G scores heavily in terms of style and substance, and our only major quibbles are the non-expandable storage and below-par camera performance. The 4.5-inch HD screen is wide, and yet the phone is small enough to hold in one hand and type easily with a thumb. Most of all, praise be, the Moto G is also extremely affordable. This phone is definitely aimed at price-conscious Indian smartphone buyers, and its array of colourful back shells will attract the style-conscious as well. Yes, it isn't perfect, but it isn't meant to compete against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One or LG G2. At its price, we're willing to overlook its faults.

A lot of manufacturers will be looking to bring out a smartphone quickly to match the Moto G but I suspect to get the same build quality will be hard. As most will know Motorola are now part of Google and that gives them huge clout in the purchasing department so to match the components from wherever will be difficult or more likely impossible.

It is understandable that the Moto G gets a lot of interest from people who want a good and simple phone at a great price. The industrial design is simple and super-cute and I just wished that it was lighter. On the other hand, its shape feels very good in the hand and is comfortable to use. It is not too small or “big”. If you seek something more fancy at a great price, the Nexus 5 would be the next logical choice. Beyond that, a world of choice is available to you, but I would recommend looking at the LG G2 and the Galaxy Note 3.

The Moto G hails the arrival of the budget smartphone which is powerful. The biggest USP of the handset is its price – £130. It also belongs to an exclusive club of handsets which are running the latest build of Android, and has a great display and battery. The lack of LTE and microSD support is disappointing, as is the Moto G’s limited onboard memory and squiffy camera.

Motorola is back folks, it's official. It may not be the return I would have predicted - there's no flagship phone stuffed full of the latest tech - but arguably what the now Google-owned firm has done is even better. The Moto G is a top notch, low cost smartphone and I wholeheartedly recommend this as the best budget mobile currently on the market. I was genuinely impressed with the feature set on the Moto G, so if you're looking for a low cost phone you can stop searching - just go out and grab a Moto G right now.

The Moto G is a nice piece of kit that should definitely appeal to those who object to payment the wallet squeezing prices asked by some high end kit. Whether it may have a similar effect on those who like to be seen as fashion conscious is another matter - brand name can outweigh price and value considerations.

Moto G is the new baseline for Android quality
Source: Geek.com English Archive.org version
This is the part of the review where I’m supposed to say that the Moto G is a good phone “for the price” as though it were an open-box item on a Best Buy shelf that was worth buying now that the price had been marked down. I don’t think that’s true. I think the Moto G is a fantastic $200 phone that another manufacturer would probably charge a great deal more for.

This is the part of the review where I’m supposed to say that the Moto G is a good phone “for the price” as though it were an open-box item on a Best Buy shelf that was worth buying now that the price had been marked down. I don’t think that’s true. I think the Moto G is a fantastic $200 phone that another manufacturer would probably charge a great deal more for.

Moto G Review
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
Thus the Moto G creates quite an awesome entry in the Android history books, right out the gate. While we expected the Moto X to be that groundbreaking off-contract smartphone that everyone saw coming since early 2013, the Moto G is more than welcome to fill that space heading into 2014. This will certainly be a device to watch in the (believe it or not) emerging budget-minded smartphone market. Motorola leads the way with a device that’s far better than the sum of its price tag.

If you're willing to go for a locked phone, even without a contract, you have broader options. The Nokia Lumia 520/521$89.99 at Amazon on AT&T, T-Mobile, and MetroPCS has a great build and UI for as little as $99, although it's slower than the G, still doesn't have LTE and isn't available unlocked in the U.S. For LTE phones, the $129 Huawei Vitria$109.99 at Best Buy on MetroPCS is worth looking at, although the G has a better screen and better built-in storage.

We can only assume LG and Motorola were in the same room when they thought up the Moto G and the Nexus 5, and almost certainly someone from Google was in that room. Both are outstanding examples of what happens when instead of trying to cram everything in without thinking of the consequences, you sit down and list all the features people actually need from a modern smartphone and then make sure they do those proficiently and relative to the amount they’ll be used.

The Motorola Moto G, won't get gadget fans' heart's racing.
Source: Stuff TV English Archive.org version
There's no blistering fast power on offer, nor is there a huge pixel-packed screen or a Megapixel-saturated camera. What the G does offer though, is incredible value for money, and should be the go-to Android choice that tech-heads recommend to their friends this Christmas.

Best budget Android smartphone there is? Must be the Moto G
Source: Reg Hardware English Archive.org version
It’s easier to list the Moto G’s failings, such as they are: a fixed battery, no 4G/LTE radio, no infrared transmitter and no storage expansion. That’s really it. In every other way – design, build, performance, software and capability – the Moto G is every bit as good as the likes of the Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S3, both flagship Android devices this time last year that cost more than two and three times as much as the £135 G, respectively.

Moto G review: an affordable smartphone, done right
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
We've said it in so many words before, but the price is what makes the Moto G a ridiculous proposition. It's just launched in the US in time for the holidays with an unlocked price of $179 for the 8GB model and $199 for the 16GB version. Verizon, for one, has confirmed it will sell the G with prepaid plans starting early next year, while Canada's Telus will offer it for free on a two-year contract.

Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
After deciding not to launch the Moto X in the UK, Motorola has brought us the budget priced Moto G smartphone. The Moto G starts at an attractive price of just £135 but it doesn't look or feel like a phone this cheap. It isn't massively thin or light, but the handset sits nicely in the hand and is easy to operate one-handed.

Motorola is back folks, it's official. It may not be the return we would have predicted - there's no flagship phone stuffed full of the latest tech - but arguably what the now Google-owned firm has done is even better. The Moto G is a top notch, low cost smartphone and we wholeheartedly recommend this as the best budget mobile currently on the market.

The Motorola Moto G is the finest £135 phone ever made. It’s not perfect and it doesn’t have everything that a more expensive phone has, but at every turn Motorola seems to have made the right design decisions, while pushing the price down even further than penny-pinchers ZTE and Huawei have done in recent years. The Motorola Moto G is one of the best phones of the year, and the first time we’ve seen a phone of this calibre launch at under £200 SIM-free. That it’s so much cheaper than £200 is a minor miracle. This phone deserves to sell by the bucketload.

Motorola's Moto G is the best budget smartphone around. At £135 it's got great build quality, an excellent screen, decent cameras and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean soon to be upgrade to 4.4 KitKat. It's only limited in the storage department and a lack of 4G support.

We're seriously impressed with the Moto G and are perplexed by how Motorola's managed to load the smartphone with such high-end components while keeping its price below £150. Starting at £135 the Moto G features a decent display, powerful quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and runs using a close to untouched version of Google Android. This all adds up to mean the Moto G outperforms phones currently retailing for twice its price. For this reason in our mind the Moto G is the ideal choice for any business looking for a mass rollout Android handset, despite a few limitations such as low storage and no 4G support.

Motorola Moto E 1. Gen 2014

The Motorola Moto E aims to provide entry level specifications with dirt cheap prices. Despite being cheap, the phone does come with rather decent specs. For instance, the processor is a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor equipped with 1 GB of RAM, which is already better than some of its direct competitors.

The outer appearance of the phone is as expected. It's made with one color plain plastics, which to be honest, doesn't look too bad. It just doesn't look great. The 4.3 inch display is also not too shabby, considering it's priced so low. It comes with only 540 by 960 pixels but still nets out a pixel density of 256 ppi. The Moto E only features 4 GB of native memory, but this can be topped up with an external micro SD card.

As expected, for such a bargain, there are surely some features that cannot be included in the phone. One such is that the Motorola Moto E does not support 4G LTE. It supports the basic WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth 4.0 though. The lack of a front facing camera may also deter some, especially those who enjoy taking selfies.

All in all, you pay for what you get. Well with the Motorola Moto E, you get more than what you pay, to be honest. It has several shortcomings, but it's perfect for those who just want an entry level smartphone and don't want to sell an arm to get it.

Melting prices. It's summer time and Motorola is cutting prices. After the huge success of the Moto G - not only review-wise, but also customer-wise - the Moto E offers quite a lot for even less. But even though it manages to impress on a first glance in terms of specs and pricing, it still has to stand up to the scrutiny of our in-depth review.
Old Moto E vs New Moto E (2nd generation): Why the 2015 Moto E is the most smartphone you can buy for £109

The screen is bigger, it has double the storage, a quad-core processor, support for 4G and a front-facing camera. It’s a very easy choice between the old and new Moto E: the second generation phone is another winner.

Lumia 535 vs Moto E comparison: the best cheap smartphone you can buy
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
Right now there is only one choice: that of the Moto E. But come the new year when the Lumia 535 is in town you will have a tough choice. It is likely that the Lumia 535 will cost a little more. But it has better storage and camera, and a bigger (if not sharper) screen. These are both great cheap phones - your choice will likely depend on your preference of Windows Phone or Android. But even as an Android user I'd say that when the Lumia 535 is available it will likely be the better deal. Just. (See also: Moto E price, specs, release date, features.)

Moto G2 (2014) vs Moto E comparison review: New Moto G is worth the extra cash
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
It's unsurprising that the Moto G2 is a better phone than the Moto E and we recommend spending the extra if you can afford it for the better screen, camera, processor, storage, battery life and stereo speakers. The one caveat is that neither phone supports 4G so look elsewhere (Moto G 4G, for example) if this is a must.

It's unsurprising that the Moto G2 is a better phone than the Moto E and we recommend spending the extra if you can afford it for the better screen, camera, processor, storage, battery life and stereo speakers. The one caveat is that neither phone supports 4G so look elsewhere (Moto G 4G, for example) if this is a must.

Motorola Moto E Smartphone Review
Source: Techspot English Archive.org version
The Moto E isn’t a device suited to power users. It isn’t a device for people that demand the best hardware or a suite of crazy features. It is, however, a great entry-level handset that gives you all the necessities in a simple, functional package for a very attractive price. Crucially, the necessities aren’t hampered by terrible software or laggy performance, which typically haunt cheap Android smartphones.

Nokia Lumia 530 vs Motorola Moto E: Windows vs Android for best budget phone
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
Choosing between the Nokia Lumia 530 and Motorola Moto E is difficult. I'm a seasoned Android user, but I like what I see in Windows Phone 8.1. And without that tired old Windows Phone lacks apps argument (the Motorola Moto E doesn't have enough built-in storage to take full advantage of what Google Play and third-party developers have to offer), there is nothing that you might expect of a budget smartphone that either Windows Phone or Android are unable to do. In many respects these two phones are very evenly matched. The Motorola Moto E stands out for its display, while the Nokia Lumia 530 is the winner on the storage front. And the Lumia 530 absolutely wins on the pricing - you cannot argue at £60.

70% Review: Motorola Moto E
Source: Gadgetguy English Archive.org version
Using the Moto E is just like using a Google Nexus phone, which should come as no surprise to people since Motorola was previously owned by Google. As a result of that ownership (and collaboration), the Moto E runs Android pretty much just like its brother, the Moto X, with Android the way Google envisioned it, complete with widgetised home screens, a lock screen, Google’s own drop-down notification bar, and an apps menu with tabs for apps and widgets. It’s a pretty simple interface, and it is even one of the most up-to-date ones you’ll find, with an update rolled out to our handset mid-review bringing the Moto E up to Android 4.4.4, higher than the version running on this reviewer’s flagship handsets at the time.

All said and done the Moto E gives plenty of bang for your buck. But it sits in a busy market, and one that's already dominated by Motorola. That, in part, is the Moto E's undoing, because we would still opt to spend a little more cash and buy the 4G Moto G instead. But that can't detract from the Moto E's successes: it's a great phone available at a great price.

Moto E Review: you get what you pay for...and a little more
Source: Mobileburn English Archive.org version
Motorola has rested its hat on delivering the most phone possible for the least money necessary. The company cut corners on the Moto X and focused on software, then cut even more corners with the Moto G and focused on price. With the Moto E, it's raced to lower depths and still managed to create a phone worth buying. That's because the Moto E costs only $129 without a contract. At that price, no other smartphone comes close. I'd recommend anyone considering a Moto E aim a little higher and get the Moto G if they can afford it, but for someone whose first priority is the budget, the Moto E is the best option. The camera is abysmal and the form is a little shaky, but the Moto E is good in so many other key areas that it's hard to not be impressed by how good a phone can be even when aiming to go downmarket.

Motorola Moto E review: Have a break!
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
Well, we've come to the end of this review and we are happy to report that the Moto E is another bulls-eye by Motorola. It's not the best performer out there, but it packs a serious punch for the least amount of money. We especially appreciated the unspoiled Android OS and the solid promise for timely updates. The camera is certainly a letdown, but not everybody needs a good camera. What everybody would get with the Moto E is a solid user experience and great bang-for-buck ratio, and that's what counts.

Moto E review: The low-end phone that Android deserves
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
The Moto E comes with a non-removable 1980mAh battery that provides more than enough juice for the handset to make it through a day of heavy usage. Even when using two SIM cards with a lot of phone calls and Google Drive usage, the Moto E easily lasted a day for me with 35% juice still left at the end of the day. The Moto E is truly a remarkable device for the price it’s selling at. Just like the Moto G, it bests the competition in nearly every possible aspect, except for the camera, and makes other low-end devices feel downright awful.

As a gateway to reliable Android ownership, however, the Moto E packs an impressive punch. Camera aside, I’d struggle to fault Motorola’s decisions in specifications, and while the design is uninspiring, it’s at least well put together. That counts for a lot, and I can’t help but welcome a company looking to innovate as much in price as it does in whiz-bang hardware.

The question I kept asking myself was: Is this your primary phone? Despite the low price, when you factor in a phone bill, I think the answer is not yet. Even if you buy the Moto E off contract, you’ll still need a voice and data plan to use it. And given how much you’ll spend on that every month, it probably makes more sense to spend, say, the $70 more to buy an unlocked Moto G. But if you want a beater phone to take adventuring, or need something to fill in for a broken device until you reach the end of your contract, this is a great option.

70% Moto E Review: Best Entry-Level Android Phone Among Reputed Brands
Source: Techtree.com English Archive.org version
The Moto E is priced aggressively at Rs 7000. No other Android handset from a top-tier manufacturer can currently compete with the Moto E. Despite a few niggles, we would like to recommend for its sharp display and impressive performance. Plus, latest Android Kitkat further sweetens the deal. The only potential deal breaker here are the camera and shoddy craftsmanship. The bottom-line is that if you’re looking for an entry-level Android smartphone from a reputed brand, Moto E is your only option. If you’re open to try out other platforms, the Lumia 520 is a better build handset that offers much polished smartphone experience.

If a £90 Nexus existed, it would look a lot like the Moto E. This isn’t just Android for the masses, it’s tidy, reliable, loveable Android for the masses. No, it isn’t perfect. But considering we’re yet to meet a mobile device that is, this Moto is £90 (£80 on O2) well spent. Its main flaw is its camera, but until you get to around the £200 mark, almost every handset disappoints in this department - including Motorola’s own Moto G.

Lumia 520 vs Motorola Moto E comparison review: best cheap smartphones you can buy in the UK in 2014 There is little to choose between the Moto E and the Lumia 520. Indeed, the chief thing to note is that these are both great handsets at a remarkably low price. The Lumia 520 is thinner and lighter, and comes in multiple colours. The Moto E is marginally cheaper and more powerful. And it has a bigger, better display. You will make your own choice, but for us the combination of that display and the greater flexibility of Android makes us choose the Moto E.

It likely won’t take the Moto E very long to prove its worth to the world, emerging market or not. It proves itself by being a great backup phone you can buy without issue off-contract and may be a good option for the first-time smartphone buyer. Motorola’s strategy to tackle the low-end market may not be the most glamorous, but it sure looks like this model is doing well for the company. The Moto E stays light on its feet and easy on the pocket, making it a low-end force to be reckoned with.

The Motorola Moto E sits in a tricky spot. Among its sub-£100 peers, it offers better basics than the competition. The screen, software and design are great for the price. But if you’re willing to pay a little more, you get a significant bump-up in quality by moving up to the Moto G. Its screen is better, its camera much more versatile and there are very real benefits in moving up to a quad-core Snapdragon 400 CPU from the Moto E’s dual-core Snapdragon 200.

At a crazy price of under Rs 7,000, you can see why the Moto E has been a mega hit.

Motorola Moto E: Brill budget blower with one bothersome blunder

While others might not care so much about a front-facing camera, I find its absence actually annoys me and knocks some of the shine off a device that I'd otherwise be very enthusiastic about. As it stands, unless you are after a backup handset, are confident that you will never have a use for a webcam or are truly skint, I’d suggest saving up the extra £70 and buying the 4G Moto G.

Motorola Moto E, First Take: Great value, but only one camera
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
Motorola may have caused a mini-revolution with the first-generation Moto G, but the Moto E has been built to even tighter financial constraints, and that shows. There are plenty of good things about this £89 handset, but there are clear opportunities for a competitor to improve on some aspects. Also, the £149 Moto G with 4G (LTE) connectivity, a front-facing camera and 8GB of internal storage may prove to be a bigger draw for those who are prepared to spend a bit more money.

If you’re going to diss the Moto E because of its sub-par camera and the fact that it doesn’t have a front-facing one, then you’re missing the point.

Motorola Moto E: Brill budget blower with one bothersome blunder
Source: Reg Hardware English Archive.org version
While others might not care so much about a front-facing camera, I find its absence actually annoys me and knocks some of the shine off a device that I'd otherwise be very enthusiastic about. As it stands, unless you are after a backup handset, are confident that you will never have a use for a webcam or are truly skint, I’d suggest saving up the extra £70 and buying the 4G Moto G.

Motorola Moto E, First Take: Great value, but only one camera
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
Motorola may have caused a mini-revolution with the first-generation Moto G, but the Moto E has been built to even tighter financial constraints, and that shows. There are plenty of good things about this £89 handset, but there are clear opportunities for a competitor to improve on some aspects. Also, the £149 Moto G with 4G (LTE) connectivity, a front-facing camera and 8GB of internal storage may prove to be a bigger draw for those who are prepared to spend a bit more money.

70% Motorola Moto E Review: Fresh Competition in the Budget Segment
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
What Motorola has done with the Moto E is let loose a performance beast in the sub-10k range of smartphones. It might have a bad camera, but in every other respect the Moto E trumps its competition by a large margin. The only other smartphone that comes close is the Nokia Lumia 525 (review) which runs Windows Phone 8, is more expensive, and has a limited number of applications in the app store.

70% Motorola Moto E (Unlocked)
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
Like the Moto G before it, the Moto E proves once again that low cost doesn't have to mean low quality. Motorola makes a compelling case for the end of the feature phone, but the Moto E will inevitably face limited appeal, at least here in the U.S. where subsidized phone prices and contract-bound plans still rule the day. The Moto E is an ideal starter smartphone, though, and is far more polished than similarly priced competitors. T-Mobile and MVNO subscribers, and especially parents looking to get a smartphone for their kids, should consider the Moto E. It's also worth taking a look at the Nokia Lumia 520/521, which goes for $100 or less online, but is network locked, and Windows Phone might not be for everyone.

The $129 Moto E packs a lot of promise into a very affordable device. You get a pure Android experience in a compact and durable design. Plus, you can swap out the back cover for other colors if you're looking for a little more personality. However, there are some things missing here, such as a front camera, a flash for the back camera and LTE connectivity.

Best budget smartphone 2014: Motorola Moto G vs Motorola Moto E comparison review
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
You might have come to our Motorola Moto G vs Motorola Moto E comparison review wondering why on earth we are comparing the specifications of two smartphones from the same company with a £60 price difference; clearly the more expensive Motorola Moto G is going to best the £89 Moto E on the hardware front. Actually, what we've learned is that although the Motorola Moto G has the better specification, the Moto E's hardware is sufficient that it will be a great fit for many users - and especially so when you consider that those in the market for a budget smartphone don't expect to get ultimate performance. The Motorola Moto E might not have as good a screen or as much storage or processing- and graphics power as the Moto G, nor its support for 4G and microSD expansion. But it does do everything most people will require, and at a staggeringly good price. It truly looks to be the best budget smartphone money can buy.

Motorola Moto E review: Hands-on
Source: T3 English Archive.org version
The price is clearly the big selling-point here, and whilst there are plenty of sub-£100 smartphones out there Motorola has clearly thought about what can make the Moto E a considerably better option that perhaps some of its rivals. The loss of a front-facing camera is a decision that could come back to kick Motorola but it's certainly not the end of the world, for now though we'll say that from spending a short amount of time with the Moto E it certainly feels like a mid-range smartphone which is probably what Motorola is hoping for.

80% Hands on: Motorola Moto E review A dinky dialler that's got a lot to shout about
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
The low budget smartphone market is starting to get interesting as some genuinely good phones, such as the Moto G and EE Kestrel, are coming out at low price points. But while both those phones are cheap they're still more expensive than the Moto E. For £90 or less there are very few compelling options and when it comes to Android handsets at that price I'd argue that there's nothing else out there as good as the Moto E. It's undeniably basic but it looks good, has a decent screen and it runs well. At this price you can't ask for more than that.

The Motorola Moto E is not as exciting a phone as its bigger brother. Its specs are more ordinary, its screen more commonplace. But if networks eat enough into the £89 ‘suggested’ price when the phone is locked to a network or tied in with buying £10 of credit, we could be looking at another class-leading budget Android phone.

80% Moto G 2014 Review: Even Better With Android Lollipop
Source: Know Your Mobile English Archive.org version
I like this handset A LOT. It offers unprecedented design and decent hardware for the ultra-low asking price. You can do a lot with the Moto G too, so much so I hardly missed my allegedly superior Nexus 5 during testing. There are certain issues –– imaging, for instance –– that when experienced do highlight its budget-nature, but beyond these blemishes the handset itself is a fine example of just how far things have come in the mobile space; two years ago a handset with these attributes at this price was a pipe dream.

80% Motorola Moto G (2014) review: bigger, better, and just as affordable
Source: Pocketnow English Archive.org version
In the end, the question is, did Motorola go too light on the improvements to this year’s Moto G? Not at all. It’s just as much of a no-brainer as it ever was, even if Motorola only made a few changes to the hardware. We can think of at least two reasons we’re completely okay with that. One, Motorola got it right the first time by offering a whole lot of value for a very small price – just a fraction of what other, comparable smartphones were. And two, when you’re only asking $179 for a smartphone packed with some rather compelling specifications, there isn’t a lot of room for improvement.

Still, this is one of those inexpensive phones I wouldn’t mind using on a day-to-day basis, even without the super high-resolution display or the Moto X’s always-on capabilities. If you just need a smartphone to get the job done, the Moto G will do it for you, and it will do it right every time.

Living with the Moto G (2014): How good can a budget phone be?
Source: Computerworld.com English Archive.org version
All in all, the second-gen Moto G is everything we loved about the original -- just pushed forward with some nice new tweaks and improvements. If you want the best possible smartphone experience, a phone of this caliber isn't going to be for you. But when it comes to the budget phone realm, it absolutely doesn't get any better.

90% The Moto G is dead! Long live the Moto G!
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
The 2014 edition is another cracking budget phone from Motorola. More screen space and a much better camera are worthwhile upgrades. The design language has been maintained to a good level, and improved in some ways as well. The fact you've got the option of dual front-facing speakers is really nice, although you don't get the performance found in the HTC One M8 or the Sony Xperia Z3.

Moto G2 (2014) vs Moto E comparison review: New Moto G is worth the extra cash
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
It's unsurprising that the Moto G2 is a better phone than the Moto E and we recommend spending the extra if you can afford it for the better screen, camera, processor, storage, battery life and stereo speakers. The one caveat is that neither phone supports 4G so look elsewhere (Moto G 4G, for example) if this is a must.

100% New Motorola Moto G review – the best budget smartphone?
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
The new Moto G isn't just an amazing bargain. It's a sub-£150 phone that gives a surprising number of £200-plus mid-range handsets a real run for their money, and in most cases actually beats them hands down in terms of overall value. We didn't think it was possible to create a better phone than the original Moto G, but the latest version of Motorola's unstoppable handset rightly claims its crown as the new king of budget smartphones. It wins a Best Buy award.

Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The new Motorola Moto G (2014) has a larger screen, better cameras and front facing stereo speakers. Pretty much everything else remains the same so there are only a few upgrades here and the dual-SIM feature will be only useful to a handful of users. It's not a must have upgrade if you have the original Moto G and if you need 4G support then the Moto G2 doesn't offer it.

Yes, is the simple answer. The new Moto G still offers excellent value for money and while Motorola hasn't upgraded in every department, the changes it has made still make this phone head and shoulders above other sub-£150 smartphones. Take that money elsewhere and you will likely have to make compromises on elements like screen quality, performance and battery life. You don't do that with the Moto G. It might be a different story in 12 months time, but at the moment there are few phones that tick so many of the boxes.

80% Motorola Moto G (Gen 2) Review: Back in the Race
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
While not quite matching the raw performance of the Asus Zenfone 5, Motorola's latest effort is still a contender thanks to its features and software. The 16GB versions of both phones are priced at Rs. 12,999, but there's an 8GB Zenfone 5 option if you need to save a little money. For us, the choice ultimately comes down to whether you prefer Asus' Zen UI over stock Android KitKat (and soon, Android L). Xiaomi's Mi 3 (Review | Pictures) would have been a much bigger threat, but it isn't a true contender at the moment because it simply isn't available anymore.

It’s not the cheapest Motorola out there, but in terms of performance, the Moto G 4G ticks quite a few boxes, offering a great screen, fast 4G speeds, and impressive battery life. There’s some pretty solid competition between this and Kogan’s BenQ-powered Agora 4G, a device which has half an inch on the Moto G 4G, but if you like devices small-ish and want to move from the iPhone 3 or 4 to an Android with more bandwidth, this is one phone we’d check out.

Motorola has seemingly found success in the entry-level market, and it obviously shows with its Moto G smartphones. Before its introduction, owning a decent performing basic smartphone meant forking over $200 to pick up – so the feeling felt rewarding when we found out that the original model would bear an easy-to-pay price of $179.99. Of course, Motorola realized this advantage and has once again graced its new Moto G with the same, lovely price point.

The Moto G (2nd Gen) is a very good smartphone, but it is no longer the best in class. The competition it faces is much tougher than its predecessor and the Xiaomi Mi3 and Micromax Canvas Nitro both perform better than this device, while the Asus Zenfone 5 is another option to choose from. The only thing the new Moto G has over these devices is brand recognition. It does give good value for your money.

It's still surprising Motorola didn't include LTE in the new G, especially since it released an LTE model of the original G for only a $20 premium. Other options that have LTE include the Huawei Ascend Mate2 4G and the ZTE Nubia 5s Mini, but they're more expensive than the G. In that price range, though, the Nexus 5 is still a fantastic, inexpensive unlocked phone with a 5-inch screen, although it lacks a memory card slot. All told, the G is a lot of phone for the low $179.99 asking price, and is certainly worthy of consideration.

Topping the original Moto G is a big ask – this was the handset that disrupted a notoriously competitive market and catapulted Motorola back under the global spotlight. However, the 2014 edition isn't so much a "topper" but a rather delicious "topping." The lack of 4G combined with the lack of processor nor screen resolution boost prevents it from reaching perfection, but the improved camera and screen size means it's a worthy upgrade on top of the success the first Moto G created.

With a bigger screen, much better speakers and improved cameras, the new Moto G is a great budget smartphone. However, the lack of 4G, no processor upgrade nor a boost in screen resolution means it's arguably not as good value as the original Moto G was when it launched. That's also because the new Moto G has considerably tougher competition to deal with. There are cheaper options if your budget won't stretch this far, but if you're specifically looking for a budget dual-SIM Android phone, it's a good choice. If you absolutely need 4G, then the revised first-generation Moto G is still a worthy contender.

Motorola Moto G (2014) hands on review

All in all, the new Moto G isn't exactly an improvement in every way over last year's smartphone. The new camera is the most exciting addition, followed by the microSD slot for up to 32GB of expandable memory which we've already seen on the Moto G 4G. But the bigger screen loses some pixel density and might impact on battery life. Either way, the 5in Moto G will no doubt still be fantastic bang for buck like the two smaller budget Motos. Just don't expect the 4.5in G to go anywhere for now.

But the bigger screen loses some pixel density and might impact on battery life. Either way, the 5in Moto G will no doubt still be fantastic bang for buck like the two smaller budget Motos. Just don't expect the 4.5in G to go anywhere for now.

Motorola Moto G (2014) review: Hands-on
Source: T3 English Archive.org version
Motorola has again impressed with its affordable option and even though we would have liked to have seen a few more of the Moto X features trickle down to the G, the larger screen, beefed up snapper and quad-core processor make up for it. If only it had 4G.

Motorola Moto G (2nd Generation), First Take: Bigger and better, but still affordable
Source: Zdnet.com English Archive.org version
As far as the new Moto G is concerned, so long as the battery life checks out, we see no reason why it shouldn't continue the success of its predecessor — although there is now more competition in the affordable smartphone space than there was a year ago.

Consumers can also have their signatures laser-etched to give a unique look. The 5.2 inch AMOLED 1080p Full HD panel is rated at 423 ppi and protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Image are sharp and the colors are beautiful. The Android 4.4.4 KitKat device sports a 2.5 Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM and an Adreno 330 GPU. Combined with the 16 GB or 32GB internal memory, the Motorola Moto X 2014 will certainly be powerful enough for the most demanding users.

The rear camera features a resolution of 13 MP, f/2.25 lens and has a dual LED ring flash. The image quality is superb and the device can even capture 4K UHD videos.

Always an open ear. Motorola treats its flagship to an upgrade while maintaining the tried virtues. Speech control has been advanced even further. Besides that, a strong Snapdragon 801 and a 13 MP camera have been installed. The smartphone can be personalized over the Moto maker and even allows using exclusive materials like real wood and leather.
HTC One M9 vs Motorola Moto X 2014
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
Despite being the newer and better-spec'd phone, the HTC One M9 is not necessarily running circles around the Motorola Moto X 2014. Yes, it's more powerful and future-proof, but the Moto X still holds its ground. To sum things up, the HTC One M9 will woo customers with its sleek build and powerful hardware; meanwhile, the Moto X doesn't shine hardware-wise, but it still has what it takes to be an attractive and affordable alternative to a number of newer phones, the HTC One M9 included.

Motorola’s latest X smartphone gets close, and you can see in this handset that the design teams have really worked hard to make the handset a better all-round product. The design is lovely, with a metal edge that exudes sturdiness, and a choice of rear materials that not only makes the phone lovely to look at, but also brilliant to hold, as well, with rubber, leather, and wood. We like the software and Motorola’s Active Display technology has to be one of the best power reducing concepts we’ve ever seen, and we wish more companies used it.

PHONDLESLAB-ULOUS: Motorola Moto X Android phablet
Source: Reg Hardware English Archive.org version
Still, in terms of design, build quality, usability and ergonomics, the new X is up with the very best. And to be fair the price reflects the less than cutting edge internals. The absence of a microSD card slot will be a deal breaker for some, the merely average run time from a full battery charge the same for others. But for £420 I still think the Moto X is a rather impressive lump. And being a Motorola, even Lenovo-owned Motorola, you should get new versions of Android sooner rather than later.

Motorola Moto X (2014) review: solid, but lots missing

Look, I don’t dislike the Moto X 2014 – it’s ubiquitous in many ways, and certainly potentially useful if you drive a lot – and have a quiet car – or if there’s some other reason why you can’t always touch your phone. And it’s well sculpted in metal, here in vanilla form or available through the customising Moto Maker service in some countries. A decent upgrade for many people across the board, arguably. But it also doesn’t leap out as a standout device that many Android enthusiasts reading this might make a beeline for.

It all comes down to your own priorities and what tradeoffs you're willing to make to get them. Think of it like this: The Droid Turbo is a specialty phone for folks who need extreme stamina and/or an extra-rugged device -- and are willing to sacrifice things like sleekness and design in exchange for those qualities. The Moto X is the more mainstream phone that strikes a balance to provide the best all-around experience for most people.

Motorola Moto X (second gen) review: A worthy successor to the original Moto X
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
The second generation Moto X comes with upgrades not just in terms of build quality, but also the system-on-chip powering the device. In terms of performance, the Moto X is at par with most of the flagship phones out there such as LG G3, Sony Xperia Z3 and so on. It comes with a good display and the call quality is impressive. Additional software features are definitely a value add. Battery life is decent enough, though not better than the Sony Xperia Z3 which gives almost two days on regular usage, if you activate the battery saver mode. Camera comes with its set of flaws, but it is good enough for sharing photos online. All in all, the Moto X(2nd gen) is a good overall package and it is confirmed to get the Lollipop 5.0 update whenever its out.

The Motorola Moto X is an appealing proposition. It offers great value for money as a flagship handset and even if you opt to customise with a leather or other finish using Moto Maker, you'll still be getting something more affordable than rivals - and something personal to you. Overall, if you're looking for "the next Nexus 5" or are falling out of love with the likes of Samsung's cartoony TouchWiz and other manufacturers' heavy Android re-skins, then the Moto X could be the flagship phone for you.

Plus, with the new Nexus 6 on the horizon, there’s going to be some seriously good tech hitting the market offering a similar vanilla Android experience.

90% Motorola Moto X (2014) review: An uncluttered Android marvel
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
The Motorola Moto X is an appealing proposition. It offers great value for money as a flagship handset and even if you opt to customise with a leather or other finish using Moto Maker, you'll still be getting something more affordable than rivals - and something personal to you. Overall, if you're looking for "the next Nexus 5" or are falling out of love with the likes of Samsung's cartoony TouchWiz and other manufacturers' heavy Android re-skins, then the Moto X could be the flagship phone for you.

Along with the Moto G, Motorola has made its best phone yet, pairing up flagship looks with slick software that actually helps, starting at a reasonable £419.99 for the base 16GB model. Finally, Motorola's made a phone that's truly deserving of its incredibly smart apps, and it can take on the rest of this year's flagship pack with ease.

100% Motorola Moto X (2014) 2nd Gen review
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
Not only is it by far one of the smartest and most user-friendly phones we've tested this year, but it's also one of the most beautifully designed and desirable handsets we've ever seen. It may not be able to last quite as long as either the Galaxy S5 or the Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact, but we think its clever, useful apps more than make up for any deficiency in battery life. Moreover, at £420 SIM-free or around £26.50-per-month on contract, it's also roughly the same price as many of the older flagship smartphones released earlier this year. This makes it fantastic value, so it wins a Best Buy award.

80% Motorola Moto X review: the 2014 flagship Android smartphone you can personalise
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The standard, non-customised Moto X is a desirable smartphone, but it's a little overpriced especially if you compare it with the Nexus 5. So Google's phone may lack the premium build quality and hi-res camera, but in most other respects it's a match for the Motorola at a significantly lower price. What makes the new Moto X really attractive is Moto Maker, as it's unlikely anyone else will choose your combination of customisations. (But it may also make it harder to resell when it's time to upgrade.) It's just a shame that Motorola decided not to add a microSD slot: there's no such thing as too much storage.

So the second-generation Moto X is categorically better than its predecessor. Significantly so. It has a much more powerful spec, and the display is what we hoped we'd see on the 2013 version. The camera is now worth your consideration, and it is a thin and light smartphone. We liked the original Moto X, but the 2014 flavour is definitely worth the upgrade.

Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
Meanwhile, those who do want the new Moto X will have to deal with not being able to choose their own colours, textures and materials. They'll also have to consider carefully whether they can live with only 16GB of storage space. If these hurdles can be surmounted, the Moto X (Gen 2) looks like a pretty good deal. It doesn't quite kill the appeal of flagship phones in the neighbourhood of Rs. 50,000, but some models such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 (Review | Pictures) are currently available for around Rs. 37,500. Given the relatively small price difference, you might choose to go with the S5 for its features and camera, or the Moto X to save some money.

As the mainstream reboot of a niche product, the 2014 Moto X does what it needs to do.

This year has been a great year for premium Android smartphones. There is the HTC One (M8), the LG G3, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The Moto X (2014) is easily part of the group, too. Motorola’s flagship is no longer a “mid-range” device. Its metal frame is gorgeous, its 5.2-inch 1080p display is large and sharp enough to rumble with any other 5 to 5.5″ display, the 13-megapixel camera brings significantly improved photos, and the performance is finally on-par with top-tier devices in its class.

This year has been a great year for premium Android smartphones. There is the HTC One (M8), the LG G3, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The Moto X (2014) is easily part of the group, too. Motorola’s flagship is no longer a “mid-range” device. Its metal frame is gorgeous, its 5.2-inch 1080p display is large and sharp enough to rumble with any other 5 to 5.5″ display, the 13-megapixel camera brings significantly improved photos, and the performance is finally on-par with top-tier devices in its class.

Hands on: The first things you notice about the new Moto X
Source: Computerworld.com English Archive.org version
One of the things that set the original Moto X apart was the fact that it didn't fall into the all-too-common trap of assuming bigger must be better. Some people prefer large screens, and that's fine -- but a lot of folks want a phone that's actually comfortable to hold and carry. And with its 4.7-in. screen and relatively compact footprint, the original Moto X was the first device in a long time to offer a truly ergonomic form in a compelling overall package.

90% Motorola Moto X (2014, AT&T)

The Moto X is extremely quick to snap photos, even inside. Outdoor pictures looked sharp with both cameras, albeit with slightly muted colors, and 1080p video looked smooth and appropriately stabilized. But overall indoor performance in lower light was less impressive in my tests; the Moto X struggled to lock focus and took a number of blurry shots. The same goes for the front-facing camera; the 2-megapixel sensor doesn't have the power of the 5-megapixel HTC One M8's, and in low light indoors, animation on the display fell to under two frames per second. The iPhone 5s fared much better, and locked focus on 100 percent of the same shots.

Motorola Moto X (Gen 2): An Impressive Upgrade
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
The Moto X (Gen 2) is expected to go on sale by the end of this month. The company did announce the US pricing of the device which is $499.99 (roughly Rs. 30,200) for an unlocked unit. We will have to wait for the Indian price to be announced by Motorola before commenting on whether or not it offers good value for money.

Chances are we'll hope for a longer battery life when we get a review unit to test. And the camera, too, could prove to be outsnapped. But with a relatively affordable £420 pricetag, Motorola's launched a voicetastic, sensorific smartphone that could ensnare Android purists looking for a device with a few advantages over a Nexus 5. Stay put for a Stuff.tv review before the end of September release date in the UK.

While we only had a short time with the new Moto X it’s clear the Motorola has improved the device in almost every area. The screen is bigger and sharper, yet the size of the device is not sacrificed and the nifty display tech from the first phone is still around. Hardware refinements have added that premium feel and if the claims of strong battery are in fact true, this could be one of the top Android devices out there.

Motorola Moto 360 Smartwatch Review | Notebookcheck
All-around smart? Motorola puts its Moto 360 smart watch with leather band and classic design into the smart watch race -- and, at first glance, the Moto 360 makes a good first impression. Our report will check to see if this $249 USD gadget, in everyday use, holds up to this initial impression.

 

Motorola Moto E 2. Gen 2015

As one of the earliest producers of Android devices, it seems Motorola is not giving up its grip on the Android market. They continue to develop their budget series Android phone, the Motorola Moto E. The second generation is simply known as the Motorola Moto E 2015. The design remained pretty much the same as the first version's. The exterior is made of soft plastic material with rounded back edges. The volume buttons and unlock button sit at the sides of the phone and are made of metal. The headphone jack sits at the middle-top and the micro-USB port is at the middle-bottom of the phone. Its 4.3 inch display has a resolution of 540 x 960 pixel resulting in a pixel density of 245 ppi. It is definitely not as good as the HD units from high-end devices, but does the job quite well for its price. The back panel is not removable anymore, which simply means that the battery is not replaceable. However, the sides can be removed and reveal the microSD and micro SIM slots. The removable side edges are from plastics and are available in many colors making it sort of an accessory for the phone. The entire phone is quite small and light and therefore it is easy to grip and handle. This second generation Motorola Moto E is surely one of the best budget Android device as it also supports 4G connectivity. All in all, it is a great device for its price.

Successful update... ...would be a brief and catchy description of Motorola's Moto E 2nd generation because many points of criticism made on the predecessor have been reworked. A 4.5-inch qHD screen, LTE, 8 GB of storage, and the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop - the revised bundle is appealing.

In this article, I have the pleasure of reviewing both a smartphone, the 2nd generation Moto E and a different type of cellular service company. Although the Moto E is not perfect it is well-made and reliable. It also has good battery life and solid basic features. With this phone you get a lot for your money.

Source: Gadgetguy English Archive.org version
While the specs read like Motorola may have made the best budget phone ever, the result is further from the truth than the dream, and unfortunately, the 4G Motorola E just doesn’t hold up as strongly as a Moto model barely $50 more, the G with 4G. In fact while the original E was an acceptable entry-level phone for a bit under $200, the now $70 more costly E is harder to justify, especially since it faces some pretty steep competition from other entry level phones out there.

Motorola Moto E (2nd Gen) review: E for Evolved
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
The Motorola Moto E (2nd Gen) is exactly what you'd expect from the sequel of the most popular budget phone for 2014. The new model gets a screen bump, major performance boost, better camera, double the storage, a bigger battery, a much better build quality and materials and, surprisingly, there is even LTE connectivity. Yet Motorola is asking only a slight premium for the new device - it's selling for £99 or €125.

The second generation Moto E is a very good entry-level smartphone. Performance, screen, and camera are not bad at all. And it brings support for 4G LTE networks and comes with Android 5.0, which is excellent. The only problem is its price point: altough the Moto E is a value smartphone, the price of the 4G LTE model is very close to the mainstream model from the same manufacturer, the Moto G which has better cameras and screen.

It wasn't that long ago that I recommended buyers looking for inexpensive smartphones avoid Android devices in favor of Windows Phone. While this may sound strange, at the time it was a reasonable way of thinking. Although Windows Phone has a limited application selection, the users who were interested in low-end devices were typically not heavy app users.

Motorola Moto E 2015 Review: Lollipop and LTE for $149
Source: PC Perspective English Archive.org version
Bottom line, if you can live with the screen and camera the 2015 Moto E provides good performance and the latest version of Android at a price that makes it a compelling option for a budget smartphone. LTE and a quad-core SoC check the right boxes for a modern device, and to sweeten the deal Motorola's aggressive OTA updates have been keeping even budget models up to date with the latest versions of Android. Yes, the screen isn’t great and the camera is downright poor, but it's hard to argue against the value regardless of its shortcomings.

Moto E (2015) review
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
The new Moto E is not particularly a bad phone, but it does fall short of its competition. The performance of the phone is nowhere close to some of its chief competitors available in the same price bracket. While the original Moto E redefined the budget Android smartphone experience and the market, the new Moto E fails to live up to the benchmark set by its predecessor. Once you factor in that the 4G variant of the Moto E — which comes with a faster Snapdragon 410 chipset — costs only an additional Rs. 1,000, it makes almost little sense to buy the 3G variant of the handset.

75% Motorola Moto E (2015) Review: Budget Buster
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
The elephant in the room is that all of this could also describe the Moto G. Simply put, the Moto E’s only raison d’etre is the $60 it shaves off the cost of the G—otherwise, that phone is the better blend of quality and affordability. Its screen is bigger and sharper. Its build is just as smooth and refined, but slimmer and devoid of the E’s odd border material. Its internals are nearly identical. And at the very least, its camera isn’t worse than the one here. The one nominal advantage the Moto E has is LTE support, but those LTE speeds aren’t always faster than the HSPA+ ones you can throw on the Moto G. Unless you absolutely cannot go over $150, or you’re completely against the idea of a display larger than 4.7 inches, we recommend scrounging up a few Hamiltons and climbing up a rung on the Moto ladder.

Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
The new Motorola Moto E is an improvement over the original, in terms of design, battery life and features offered. Camera is one area where it didn’t impress much. Also the display resolution could certainly have been bumped up. Unlike its first outing, the new Moto E has competition in the form of Lenovo A6000 (Lenovo also happens to be Moto E’s parent company) and Xiaomi Redmi 2, both of which sport an HD display and come with 4G support.

80% Moto E 2nd Generation with Android 5
Source: Gadgetspeak English Archive.org version
While I am very happy with my Moto G the Moto E is a cheaper phone and it now comes with, or is upgrades to Android V5 so is this upgrade and other improvements such as 4G and the larger 2390mAh battery worth doing? One piece of useful software pre-installed is Alert which can notify friends or relatives in case of accidents which for those with training schedules is perhaps more likely, this is not an all singing and dancing device but a very useable and well-priced SmartPhone.

72% Motorola Moto E Review: budget performance done right
Source: Pocketnow English Archive.org version
The Moto E is still taking a global, emerging markets focus, and in some of those areas the price difference between the Moto G and Moto E is quite a bit different than domestically. Nonetheless, the Moto E is durable, has great call quality, and runs a fairly modern version of the Android OS (5.0.2 at the time we went to press). In terms of getting what you pay for, like last year, the Moto E is a very good value (just don’t forget to by a 32GB microSD card). No, it’s not going to compete with the new Galaxy S6 or HTC One M9, but you could outfit your whole family with a Moto E each for the cost of one of those.

If your main concern when choosing a smartphone is price, and you don't want to be locked into a lengthy carrier contract, the Moto E is a good choice. Motorola's done a fine job of bringing its curvy design and technology down to a low price point (though it'll be even more appealing when the LTE version gets a price drop).

Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
The Moto E (Gen 2) improves upon its predecessor in more ways than one. We love the new design tweak in the form of 'bands' and the better battery performance. The price tag of Rs. 6,999 puts it directly in competition with the newly launched Xiaomi Redmi 2 and Lenovo A6000 (Review | Pictures). We recently reviewed the Lenovo A6000 and except for underwhelming cameras we thought it was a great device. If the Xiaomi Redmi 1S (Review | Pictures) is any indication, the Redmi 2 should be also be a good phone.

If you want the cheapest good 4G phone possible, absolutely. It looks great, has class-leading battery life and we love its light, bloatware-free approach to Android. It’s an excellent starting point for anyone buying their first smartphone. You should consider what’s most important to you first, though. One of the tradeoffs for getting 4G at such a low price is the average cameras and a screen that’s a step below similar non-4G phones at the same price. Neither are bad per se, but you can do better and you might decide 4G is less important to you than these features.

70% Moto E (2015) review: An adorable low-end phone with an absolutely abysmal camera
Source: Greenbot English Archive.org version
The Moto E is as basic as smartphones get. If you're not into all the fanfare and hoopla that typically trails flagship devices, maybe going for something a little more humble like the Moto E might be worth the switch. There is really no other low-end phone out there that rivals this one. For $150, you get nearly stock Android, fantastic battery life, LTE data, and a quad-core processor in an adorably cute little package. I'd use this phone as my day-to-day if my 64-bit flagship powerhouse died a disastrous death, though I'd be sure to carry around something like the HTC Re to take pictures with. The Moto E is really not a camera phone.

At £109, the Motorola Moto E offers impressive value for money and shaves a whole £50 off the price of the freshly-launched Moto G 4G. There are some sacrifices, of course: you don't get the same sharp HD panel of the Moto G 4G and the camera is a basic snapper. But for a nippy online experience and satisfying everyday use, the Moto E delivers in spades.

Just like the original, the Moto E is brilliant for the price. It's a little more expensive second time around, but the addition of 4G, a better battery, smoother Android experience, a slightly neater (although slightly larger) design, plus added colour from the interchangeable Bands, are all plus points. However, for the money, there's arguably no better budget phone on the market. The Moto E offers plenty of bang for your buck and progresses the series forward enough to see it stand up and, often, stand out against its nearest competitors. Well worth a shout for those on a squeezed budget.

Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
Overall the new Moto E is a sensible push forward from Motorola. The size differences are negligible - it's the 4G connectivity, more capacious battery and fun colour accents that still put it up there as one of the best budget phones to buy. Motorola may have been sold to Lenovo, but it's continuing the positive legacy that it started.

Those of us who yearn after the slicker, high-end phones with their larger, brighter displays, more powerful cameras and wider range of features -- some of which will, no doubt, be introduced at the upcoming Mobile World Congress next week -- would probably not be satisfied with the Moto E. But for a very reasonable price, you can get an unlocked phone with most, if not all, of the features that most day-to-day users will need. And that ain't bad.

Motorola Moto G 2. Gen 4G

Motorola is targeting the budget smartphone market with the introduction of the Motorola Moto G second generation 4G. The screen in a humble 5.0 inches wide and has a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a pixel density of 293 ppi. This gives a wide enough display view angle for the average user. The Motorola Moto G is built mostly with a black curved back that has different thickness, varying from 6 mm to 11 mm. It is extremely lightweight at only 149 g and there are two slots for SIM cards as well. Inside the machine is a Qualcomm MSM 8926 Snapdragon 400 chipset, a quad core 1.2GHz Cortex A7 CPU and an Adreno 305 GPU. Internal memory is either an 8 or 16 GB with 1 GB of RAM. The memory can be extended by up to 32 GB with a microSD card. There are two cameras attached here, an 8 MP rear main camera and a front facing secondary 2 MP one for selfies. A fun feature offered by Motorola are changeable back covers, called 'Shells' that come in a wide variety of bright colors and can be purchased for a small fee from Motorola. This is apparently one of the best budget phones with an ideal combination of usability and power.

84% Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
Update Lite. Motorola's Moto G2 mid-range smartphone had picked up a good rating in our test, but it did not feature LTE. The manufacturer has eliminated this drawback in its new edition, and has installed the latest, supposedly faster Android Lollipop instead of KitKat. However, there might just be unexpected modifications in the screen and storage.
Do we have a new best budget phone?
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
With the same screen and only a small processor bump, the reasons to upgrade to the Moto G 2015 are the new cameras, waterproof design and the ability to order with the Moto Maker - although that does make it more expensive and it's not really a budget phone any more.

The Moto E 4g is definitely an improvement over the 3G variant, but it still can't match the competiton in terms of display and camera. If you need an inexpensive smartphone with very good battery life, then this one would make sense, but for everything else, you should look at the Xiaomi Redmi 2 and Yu Yuphoria.

Overall the Moto G 4G 2015 edition it is a great device, at a decent price, with a great display, a Micro SD and some front facing speakers and a pretty decent rear camera. Yes it would be an amazing device with just a little bit more internal memory, but that would cost more. The spec difference between this and the new Moto E is confusing as the Moto E seems to have a better processor. But I feel that this model is seriously impressive in its own right and that’s probably just down to Lollipop and decent 4G.

Unless a truly top notch camera is a requirement, the Moto G – in any variant – really is all the smartphone most people will ever need. For the price the new Mk.II 4G device is the pick of the crop by virtue of the larger screen, bigger battery, 4G comms and extra speaker.

If you're looking for a cheap 4G smartphone then the Moto E 4G is the best deal on the market right now. If you would rather have a cheap dual-SIM phone with 3G connectivity then the mark 3 Moto G is your best bet. But the new Moto G 4G for 2015 is not the best phone for either customer, and its larger, higher-resolution screen, marginally improved photography credentials and stereo sound are not enough for us to turn a blind eye to its £60 higher price, slower hardware and missing software features.

Motorola has improved on last year's edition with the new Moto G 4G, and its £159 still puts it in budget territory for first-time smartphone buyers and newcomers. Its 4G powers will keep you up to date for longer, but we wish its processor was a bit faster, as it's starting to show its age. For the price though, along with a bright, large screen and barebones Lollipop, it's well worth a look.

80% Motorola Moto G (2015) review: Budget big screen adds 4G, lacks new design thrills
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
Motorola truly impressed us with the original Moto G, a budget smartphone that, at launch, was untouchable. But its larger-scale and slightly more expensive follow-up was a little less impressive due to a bulkier design and lack of 4G. Deep down we were hoping for a slimmer and sexier new Moto G design for 2015. But if the design and scale is of no consequence as it is then the 4G-boosted model makes good on its predecessor's lacking and, all in all, is an accomplished budget smartphone.

With various upgrades including a waterproof design, great cameras and stock Android, the new Moto G 2015 is a great affordable phone. The device is still a bit chunky and it's a shame to see the stereo speakers gone. It's worth opting for the model with 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM and when you customise the device with Moto Maker the price is a not so attractive £209. The Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is worth a look at just £125 with its Full HD display.

Spending an extra $40 is worth it if you want more storage and RAM, but there’s no denying that either option is a great choice if you’re after an entry-level smartphone.

80% Solid value: Motorola’s third-gen G reviewed
Source: Gadgetguy English Archive.org version
We started this review asking a pretty basic question about the Motorola G — does the third Moto G perfect the series? — and really, that question came down to one basic concept: is the third time the charm, so to speak. But the Moto G has never really needed to worry about that question because it has always been pretty good, evident from Motorola’s recent observation that this range is the company’s most successful smartphone.

Motorola Moto G 3rd gen – Review
Source: Cool Smartphone English Archive.org version
I’ve been won over by the Moto G since the first iteration in late 2013. With the 3rd generation, Motorola have improved on the original formula, and brought water resistance and improved on the second gen’s bigger screen and body. I must say I really really like the Moto G 3rd generation. I like it so much I’m using it as one of my main devices and have even used one of my precious Google Play Music authorisations on it. The only thing I find myself wishing the Moto G 3rd gen had is an AMOLED screen, mostly so that Moto Display uses less battery power.

Motorola's original Moto G was one of the first Android devices to offer what one could honestly call a good user experience at a price of around $200. In the end, I think as far as conventional mid range devices goes there's no competition for the Moto G. The construction and the camera are good, the performance is the best of an ARM device at this price point, and the battery life is amazing.

Moto G (2015) review
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
To conclude this review, I can only say that the Moto G (2015) is the perfect example of why specs don’t matter. While the handset is easily the best device in its price range in countries like Europe and United States, it is easily outspec’d by devices from Xiaomi, Huawei, and other Chinese OEMs in countries like India. However, despite coming with inferior specs, the Moto G (2015) is able to deliver a user experience that simply cannot be matched by them.

70% Delivers great overall user experience; but price could be its downfall

The third generation Moto G has certainly been impressive despite the specs not being the best of the lot. Moto G promises a good user experience and it more than delivers on that front. For someone looking at a decent mid-range phone with a long-lasting battery life and a decent camera, the Moto G is certainly an option worth considering. But only the 2GB variant as the base model with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage for Rs 1,000 less is not really an ideal deal.

Last year, I wrote that the then-new Moto G was "still the best budget smartphone" around. Little did I know that the quality bar for cheap phones would shoot into the air the way it did over the past 12 months. This updated Moto G faces fiercer competition than it ever has before, and it may well lose its hard-fought, low-cost crown someday.

I’m so happy that Motorola’s found its niche in making affordable smartphones that don’t compromise on features. For around $200, you can get a perfectly capable Android smartphone that offers totally passable camera capabilities, solid hardware performance, long-lasting battery life, and a frequently updated version of Android (based on Motorola’s track record with updating its devices over the past few years). It has most of Motorola's signature extra features like Active Display and Moto Assist, and it’ll also survive a drop in the toilet.

This is comfortably the best Moto G to date, adeptly sticking to the series’ style by fixing the weaker part of the older versions rather than turbo-charging its strong points with, for example, a 1080p screen. The only problem is that this is also comfortably the most expensive model in the series. We’ve lost some of that cut-throat bargain feel, although the waterproofing and significant camera improvements mean the extra expense is worth it.

But the existence of competition doesn’t nullify the very compelling product Motorola brings to the table with the Moto G 2015. Is ASUS’s ZenFone 2 a better option for the spec-obsessed? Absolutely. Is AOT’s IDOL 3 a better fit for audiophiles? You bet. The new Moto G is for neither of those groups. Instead, it’s an affordable handheld for the masses: a highly customizable smartphone with excellent battery life, great performance, and software that adds usefulness without bogging it down. If you can live with its lackluster camera and display, it’s absolutely a solid buy (at least at the higher tier).

81% Motorola Moto G 2015 review: wallet-friendly and water-resistant
Source: Pocketnow English Archive.org version
But the existence of competition doesn’t nullify the very compelling product Motorola brings to the table with the Moto G 2015. Is ASUS’s ZenFone 2 a better option for the spec-obsessed? Absolutely. Is AOT’s IDOL 3 a better fit for audiophiles? You bet. The new Moto G is for neither of those groups. Instead, it’s an affordable handheld for the masses: a highly customizable smartphone with excellent battery life, great performance, and software that adds usefulness without bogging it down. If you can live with its lackluster camera and display, it’s absolutely a solid buy (at least at the higher tier).

90% Motorola Moto G 3rd-Gen (2015) Review: In Depth
Source: Recombu English Archive.org version
The 3rd-generation Moto G is a solid budget handset, with a brilliant premium-spec camera and thankfully smooth performance. The 5-inch screen may not be as razor-sharp as we’d hoped, but for anyone who loves snapping every moment of their everyday lives, it’s easy to recommend this bargain blower.

90% Moto G Review (2015): Phone Value of the Year
Source: Tom's Guide English Archive.org version
The experience that the Moto G provides doesn't feel budget by any means. In fact, with its solid performance, long battery life and improved cameras, this is the best smartphone deal of the year. You could save money and opt for the $179 version, but we'd spend the extra $40 to get 16GB of storage and the extra 1GB of RAM for smoother performance. There are some other good phones in this price range, such as the Blu Life One, which has a lighter design and brighter screen. But the Moto G's water resistance, customizable design and longer endurance put it over the top.

Motorola Moto G (2015) Review
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
Of course, the Moto G isn’t for everyone, but it strikes that perfect balance of value, design, and performance – while still staying true to the foundational principles of the series. There’s a reason why the Moto G series is constantly a mainstream, it just keeps on getting better. And obviously, we continue to see that with this latest iteration. Power users might not take fancy in this phone, but it still generates a broader appeal. Don’t underestimate the intensity of what it offers!

Do we have a new best budget phone?
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
With the same screen and only a small processor bump, the reasons to upgrade to the Moto G 2015 are the new cameras, waterproof design and the ability to order with the Moto Maker - although that does make it more expensive and it's not really a budget phone any more.

If you are buying a smartphone to impress others, the Moto G 3rd gen probably isn't for you because there are no standout specifications to boast about. Having said that, casually dunking your phone in a glass of water while talking to your friends would be sure to catch their attention. On a serious note, though, we are happy to see water resistance make an appearance at this price point, and it's about time this feature became standard across all smartphones.

The Moto X and Moto G are the names that brought Motorola back in the game, winning quite a lot of fans in the process. They have just reached their third generation and Motorola is sticking to its established formula for success - pure-Android approach, excellent handling and a nice little extra here and there. Motorola managed to create a signature touch of its own, while staying as close to pure Google intentions as possible. This, combined with timely software updates has earned the company a number.

Motorola Moto X Style

User friendly and stylish, the Motorola Moto X Style is a capable smartphone packed into a palm-friendly package. Ergonomics was a priority during the design phase. The curved back and dimple provides good grip, while the chassis feels solid in hand. Motorola has implemented a water repellent nano-coating delivering a worry free spill-proof experience. Display on the Motorola Moto X Style is a bright and vivid 5.7 inch IPS LCD panel with 520 PPI pixel density. Images are clear and crisp, while the entire front plane is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. There are two base model finishes to choose from; a black lens/dark grey frame with black soft feel inlay and a white lens/silver frame with bamboo inlay. The Android 5.1.1 Lollipop device comes with a Snapdragon 808 processor, which consist of a dual-core Cortex-A57 and a quad-core Cortex-A53 chip. It is supported by 3 GB of RAM, an Adreno 418 GPU, and three storage options consisting of 16, 32 or 64 GB. Cameras on the Motorola Moto X Style are a solid performing 21 mega-pixel rear shooter and a 5 mega-pixel front-shooter. Other features on the device are stereo speakers, Bluetooth 4.1, A-GPS, NFC, and microSD support. The Motorola Moto X Style comes with a fast chagrining non-removable battery rated at 3000 mAh.

Just your style. The Moto X Style is the flagship of Lenovo's American subsidiary, and can be customized even more than its sister models. It also sports stronger hardware and a better camera. Its 5.7-inch screen makes it quite bulky. Despite all that, there is still room for improvement.
75% Not compelling enough; Moto X Play offers better value proposition

Motorola had delivered a value for money product with the Moto X Play, but with the Moto X Style, we cannot say the same thing for certain. The Moto X Style is a good phone in terms of user experience, display quality, overall performance and camera; but there are shortcomings in the form of battery life.

Review: Moto X Style (Pure Edition)
Source: Gizmag English Archive.org version
If you want the very best that smartphone technology can offer in 2015, the Moto X Style isn't it. But on the other hand, if you have a limit of $400 to spend, then nothing else on sale at the moment is likely to give you as much bang for your buck. Motorola looks to be aiming for the top of the mid-range (or perhaps the budget end of the high-end), and it largely hits its target.

Source: PC Pro English Archive.org version
The big thing in the favour of the Motorola Moto X Style is its price. SIM-free from the Motorola website, the phone starts at £399 for the 32GB model, which makes it £50 less expensive than the similarly sized Google Nexus 6P, and only £20 more expensive than the 32GB Nexus 5X. This should be enough on its own to push the Moto X Style firmly onto your shortlist; it may not be the best, most complete smartphone around, but it sure is good value.

If you're looking for a big screen phone, the Moto X Style is a great choice. It's got great specs across the board and it cheaper than rivals like the Nexus 6P and Galaxy S6 Edge+. We love the screen, stock Android and cameras. However, it really comes stands out when using the Moto Maker to customise it which costs more. With a screen only slightly smaller and a fingerprint scanner the OnePlus 2 is the spanner in the works here at £289 for the 64GB model.

If you want a well priced, super-fast phone benefiting from a slick design and sharp display, I can thoroughly recommend the Moto X Style. It doesn’t confuse with a bucket-load of added features, but it does, it does well. There’s a lot to say for Motorola’s approach to Android too. It’s clean, simple, fast – and as Google intended. With Marshmallow on the way, this is even more important.

The Motorola Moto X Style is a great smartphone and I thoroughly enjoyed using it during the review period. It's not a handset with universal appeal, for those looking for a big screen flagship at a decent price the X Style is an excellent option. I do wish the battery life was better, but it's not hugely different to other 2015 flagship phones on the market so it's almost acceptable.

The Motorola Moto X Style is far from the home run we were expecting, which is quite disheartening. All the ingredients are present on paper but somehow they just don't come together, and the end result leaves you wanting more. We like that the company has stuck with the philosophy of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' when it comes to the design and has only made things better by adding metal to the construction. The phone also checks all the boxes when you consider expandable storage, 4G LTE, general performance, and a good display.

Moto X Style (Pure Edition) – Second Opinion
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
Motorola has to be given credit for providing a pretty good smartphone at a decent price point. While the latest flagship device is more expensive that previous generations used to be, not only are you getting a more premium product this time around, but the Moto X Pure Edition is still cheaper than most other competing high-end flagship smartphones out there. The best part about this smartphone is that it is all about choice, and that is what makes for a very compelling smartphone.

The Moto X Pure Edition is easily one of the most affordable flagship smartphones currently out there, and for just $400, you can get yourself a completely customized device. The iPhone 6s Plus, on the other hand, with set you back $750 for the 16 GB base model, and pricing goes up from there, based on your storage needs. The iPhone 6s Plus is definitely not cheap, but you do have the option of picking it up at a subsidized rate through network carriers, an option that isn’t available with Moto X Pure Edition.

On the other hand, the Moto X Pure Edition also promises a similar software experience, with some great enhancements, along with the availability of microSD expansion. The Moto X Pure Edition holds the edge by virtue of being the newer smartphone, but regardless of which way you decide to go, you are going to come out a winner.

Motorola Moto X Style / Pure Review
Source: Techspot English Archive.org version
At this price, one of the big competitors to the Style is the OnePlus 2, available for $330-390 for its 16/64 GB models. The two phones are similar in size, but the Style comes with a larger, better display, a superior camera, essentially identical performance, fewer software issues, expandable storage, NFC, and fast charging. In my eyes this makes the Style a clear winner, especially as you don’t need to bother with OnePlus’ annoying invite system.

Stunning, Super-specced and, yes, Stylish
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
It really does feel that, with the Style (or ‘Pure Edition’, if you’re in the USA), Motorola has fully rounded off the vision for the original ‘X’. The form factor, capabilities, software load-out, imaging, and media playback, are all stunning, especially for the price. In the UK, the Moto X Style retails at £360 including VAT, significantly undercutting a number of big-brand competing flagships. With the caveat that you’ll need to be prepared to do a little ‘plugging-in’ each day for ‘Turbo Power’ top-ups, it’s hard to think of a better all round package than the Moto X Style and it’s terrific value overall. Recommended.

The Moto X and Moto G are the names that brought Motorola back in the game, winning quite a lot of fans in the process. They have just reached their third generation and Motorola is sticking to its established formula for success - pure-Android approach, excellent handling and a nice little extra here and there. Motorola managed to create a signature touch of its own, while staying as close to pure Google intentions as possible. This, combined with timely software updates has earned the company a number.

Motorola Moto X Play

The Motorola X Play edition is Motorola’s latest phone in the market aimed to consumers looking for a mid-range phone. However, this does not mean that it is lacking of power. It comes with a Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615 octa core architecture consisting of 1.7 GHz ARM Cortex A53 and 1.0 GHz ARM Cortex 43 CPUs, 2 GB of RAM and an Adreno 405 GPU. The Android OS, v5.1.1 (Lollipop) is used as operating system. But, this should not be a problem, since Motorola is one of the few brands or companies that gets updates to Android earlier than the rest. The 5.5 inch display features a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. The 21 MP camera features a resolution of 5248 x 3936 pixels, autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash and records videos at 1080p@30fps, while the front selfie camera is just a mere 5 MP shooter. Despite 21 MP resolution, the image quality is not as good as other phones' in the market, but the dual tone flash will help with the white balance. Thus, pictures will look more natural and more true to color. The internal memory is 16 GB or 32 GB. And storage capacity can be expanded with a microSD by up to 128GB. The non-removal battery rated at 3630 mAh features fast charging. Motorola claims a battery life of 48 hours.

Mingling in the mid-range. Motorola has pitched its mid-range Moto X Play phone to compete against price-performance whoppers such as OnePlus' One. The buyer gets a gigantic battery, plenty of performance and a high-resolution camera for under 400 Euros (~$454). Find out whether this is the new mid-range champion.
Where mid-range devices shine
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Whether it’s because of the stock Android experience or the reliable CPU, we were pleasantly impressed by the snappy operation of this smartphone. Transition between menus, shots, etc. is instantaneous. You also get a 5.5-inch Full HD display that not only brings very good detail but is also not a problem for the battery, which offers a surprisingly long battery life after a single charge. What puts the icing on the cake is the 21MP rear camera with Sony IMX230 Exmor RS sensor that brings image quality similar to that of high-end models.

The Moto X Play came with a lot of promise to push the boundaries of what a mid-ranger can offer, within a restricted budget and in a lot of ways, it delivered on that promise. For just under $300, you get a quite sensibly cut-back version of the Moto X Style, which, in our opinion, offers a perfect scale-down in performance, without really disturbing any of the other crucial features of the handset.

The only other Android phones worth considering at this price are the OnePlus 2 and the Honor 7. The OnePlus 2 has similar customisation options, but has an annoying purchasing system.

All things considered, the Motorola Moto X Play turned out as compelling in reality as it is on paper. The midranger with some flagship aspirations has a lot to offer for just $300. And you would think some serious compromises must have been made, but in fact the Moto X Play has no area where it really disappoints.

The Moto X Play is a headset that appears to have one primary focus: long-lasting battery life. If you want an endurance champion, then the Moto X Play could well be the handset for you. There are other positives too. The design can be personalised, the camera experience is improved over the last generation, and the minimal bloatware on board makes for a solid handset with slick performance as mid-range handsets go.

There are certainly some good things going for the Moto X Play, and battery life is chief among them, bringing some of the longest lasting performance we’ve seen out of any phone this year, especially one that isn’t technically considered a phablet. Granted, to get this life you need to resort to something thicker than the standard flagship, and something a little bulky, too, as that’s part of how Motorola gets the life going long. With a big battery and some finely tuned Android, the Moto X Play does offer enough life to not only let you play the day, it could handle an entire weekend, too.

It's hard to fault the Moto X Play. We lauded Motorola's latest Moto G as the best sub-£200 handset, and it's hard to think of a better sub-£300 phone than the Play. Sure, the low-light camera performance disappointed and the screen isn't the best on the market, but for £269 the Moto X Play offers a premium design, smooth performance, bloat-free Android and an excellent battery life.

There's a lot going for the Moto X Play, but not quite enough when you compare it to its more impressive stablemate. It's still a very good smartphone, and it's pretty good value given the spec list, but it feels a bit like a phone that doesn't know quite what it wants to be. Motorola should have gone the whole hog with this phone, and made it a durable masterpiece that offered high-end specs, plus a durable yet customisable design. And it should be waterproof, not 'water resistant' – and ideally blood, sweat and tear-proof too.

On the flip side, the phone doesn't significantly lack in any department either.

Once you take the epic battery life into consideration, the X Play starts to make a little more sense.

The Moto X Play slots solidly in the middle between the Moto G and the upcoming Moto X Style, and if it's any indication of what to expect from the Style, we should be in for a treat with the top of the range model. That's not to say the Play is bad at all - anything but, and you get a decent phone that's as close to stock Android as you could wish for; battery life is astounding; and it sports Motorola's best camera to date. It's well worth a look, but if you want something with even more power, wait for the Moto X Style.

The Mototola Moto X Play is one of the best phones to consider if you want a quality phone without paying a high-end price. It maxes out the camera and battery while offering a nice big screen that isn’t shown up too badly by any phone, anywhere.

The Moto X Play slots solidly in the middle between the Moto G and the upcoming Moto X Style, and if it's any indication of what to expect from the Style, we should be in for a treat with the top of the range model. That's not to say the Play is bad at all - anything but, and you get a decent phone that's as close to stock Android as you could wish for; battery life is astounding; and it sports Motorola's best camera to date. It's well worth a look, but if you want something with even more power, wait for the Moto X Style.

80% Too many corners cut to compete with the OnePlus 2
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
Overall, the Moto X Play is a decent mid-range phone. But, it's not the great upgrade which Moto X owners were looking for. The camera is good, as is the screen, but performance could be better - as could battery life. Had Motorola offered the dual-SIM version in the UK and made the phone waterproof, it would have had enough to be a decent alternative to the OnePlus 2. For many, this more powerful rival will be more appealing. It's also cheaper and has optical stabilisation and the option to shoot 4K video.

If you want a well built smartphone with a fantastic display, great daylight camera and true all-day battery the Moto X Play is a fine choice. It just makes the package even sweeter that it can be had for £279. Motorola has continued its impressive run and with the Moto G setting new standards for the low-end, I think the Moto X Play can do exactly the same for the mid-range.

100% Motorola Moto X Play review
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
It's these small touches that elevate the Moto X Play above the rest of the competition and make it a much better buy than other £200-300 phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy A5, Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, EE Harrier and HTC Desire 820. It's more expensive on contract, with prices starting at £22-per-month, but compared to the £19-per-month Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, for instance, you're getting a lot more phone for your money, including a Full HD screen, a superior camera and more storage. While we've yet to try out the Moto X Style, the Moto X Play is still a great value handset in its own right and its excellent screen, camera and battery life punch well above its weight.

Motorola Moto X Play review: The perfect battery champion?
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
Calling the Moto X Play ‘disappointing’ does it a disservice – it’s patently an extremely capable Android smartphone in every department and the price is quite reasonable. It’s just that, having loved the Nexus 6 aside from the size, I keep hoping for more or less the same device but smaller, and somehow Motorola never quite delivers this, whatever the glossy photos might suggest. The single, mono speaker and the broken camera HDR being the main offenders.

It does feel all too familiar, however. Like Motorola’s too afraid to take the plunge into new design territory and go to head-to-head with some of its other, more flashy competitors. That’s okay for now because what the Moto X has going on works. I just hope whatever’s next is a little more extraordinary than ordinary.

Apple iPhone 6s Plus vs Motorola Moto X Pure
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
The Moto X Pure blasts off at $399, which is almost half of the iPhone 6s Plus price. If you can live without the innovative interaction options that the 3D Touch display on the iPhone brings, and with worse pictures at night time, Motorola's phone should suffice for most, if not all of your phablet needs. It also lets you customize its appearance while ordering till the cows come home.

So there you have it for this in-depth look at the Moto X Pure Edition vs Nexus 6! If you want the purest Android experience possible, the guarantee of quick updates, and a large canvas on which to play on, then the Nexus 6 continues to be a great choice, especially given the price drop associated with the launch of its successor. On the other hand, the Moto X Pure Edition also promises a similar software experience, with some great enhancements, along with the availability of microSD expansion. The Moto X Pure Edition holds the edge by virtue of being the newer smartphone, but regardless of which way you decide to go, you are going to come out a winner.

Still, we can’t deny the fact that it undercuts its rivals with its impressive $400 cost. For that amount, we’ll gladly accept its shortcomings, since it musters up what’s perhaps the best value in a phone we’ve seen this year. In all fairness, if cost is a major factor in your decision, the Moto X Pure has everything to make it a strong consideration. Trust us, for the money you dish out for this, you’re getting incredible value and performance.

The Pure Edition retains the high level of customization Moto fans have come to know and love as well as intuitive Moto features such as Voice and Display. I appreciate the larger display and the bump-up in resolution as well as the improved camera. But the best thing about the Pure Edition is its relatively low entry price ($350) for an unlocked device that can work on all the major carriers. Compare that to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus ($768 unlocked on Verizon), and you feel like you're getting a steal.

During our time with the Moto X Pure Edition, we found ourselves continually evaluating it as if it were a top-shelf, flagship, hero device, in the same class as flagships from LG, Samsung, Apple, and the like. And yet, Moto's flagship costs hundreds of dollars less than those phones.

This year's Moto X Pure Edition is easily Motorola's best Android smartphone to date. It combines attractive, highly customizable looks, excellent build quality, superb camera, and impressive connectivity suite to go with an attractive off-contract price tag. Lenovo deserves as much credit as Motorola on this instance. The Chinese tech giant has not tried to change the direction of the Moto X product family in any way, unless it made the smartphone better.

Even though it strays pretty far from the original Moto X's philosophy, you really can't go wrong with the Moto X Pure Edition. The winning combination of high-end specs, great build quality, useful software features and an impressive camera make up for the Moto X's few shortcomings. Battery life isn't the greatest and we've experienced a small amount of performance hiccups. But if you can get past that, the new Moto X is probably the phone for you.

But this phone wasn’t built for appreciators of subtlety, or those who pine for the small phones of yesteryear. It was built to stir the blood of people who want something big and bad and burly, for a few fewer Benjamins. Like Google’s Nexus line, the Moto X brand has evolved over time and now stands for something entirely different than it once did: in 2015, it stands for a husky handheld with uncommonly smart features and enough power to keep up with almost anyone. By those metrics, the Moto X Pure Edition is a really good smartphone. When you factor in the class-leading customizability and the fact that it can be purchased –unlocked– for significantly less money than most of the competition, it’s easy to overlook its otherwise-frustrating flaws.

Both are excellent unlocked phones, and normally it would be a difficult decision weighing the devices against one another. But the OnePlus 2 has one big flaw: It still retains the much-criticized invite-only purchase system that has caused release delays and actually prompted the company to issue an apology to costumers. Taking into account its many strengths, and the fact that you can actually buy the Moto X Pure Edition, it isn't hard to name it our Editors' Choice for unlocked smartphones.

Motorola Moto X Force

The Motorola Moto X Force is the newest phone coming out from the very notable and user friendly Motorola line. It was released in November of 2015 and packs a very good set of capabilities. It is available with 32 GB or 64 GB of internal storage and the storage capacity can be expanded up to 200 GB. That means that there is much space for videos, music, and pictures. The Moto X Force runs Android OS V5.1.1 Lollipop and an upgrade to the Marshmallow (V6.0) is planned to be available in early 2016. The 21 MP camera supports recording in 2160p (4K video recording) and 1080p HDR. The battery life is 25 hours of talk time and 500 hours of standby time, which allows more time away from electrical outlets and using the phone. Moreover, the phone supports wireless charging. The 5.4 inch screen with shatterproof glass displays beautiful colors and is very bright. In addition, the Moto X Force is very light at less than 6 ounces (169 grams). It has the original, sleek Motorola curves, is available in original black and is only 9.2 mm thick, which means that it is easier to storage in the pocket. Surfing on the phone is also very fast on the LTE networks.

Lenovo Moto X Force — Australian Review

For the most part there’s very little wrong, and a lot right with the Moto X Force, but it’s literally getting to the point where it’s a year old, and that’s a problem, especially with the current security patch level. The phone with its ShatterShield technology, immense battery and decent camera is good, but at nearly 12 months old it’s not quite worth the $599 price tag.

Motorola has some thoughts on this whole “modular” thing. Instead of dismantling your phone into a series of puzzle pieces, the company is tackling the idea in a much more elegant way. With MotoMods, you just attach the accessory to the back of the Moto Z or Moto Z Force and magnets do the rest. It’s a great idea that doesn’t quite fulfill its potential, as we found out while reviewing both of the devices.

The Motorola Moto X Force is a quietly impressive smartphone that handles its high-end business with restrained aplomb, before knocking you out with a single killer hook. It's a true flagship phone, but you won't feel obliged to wrap it up in cotton wool (or a protective case) despite its considerable price tag. Motorola's shatter-proof display is a truly impressive achievement, and one that seems to provide a viable solution to a long-standing smartphone problem. This isn't the prettiest flagship smartphone on the market, nor is it the nicest to use; but it's fast, long lasting, and it even takes good pictures. And the best thing is, you know that none of that is going to change when you accidentally drop it.

The Moto X Force isn't exactly a brand new model - it was announced back in October as the Droid Turbo 2 for Verizon and was later released as the X Force for the global markets. But availability back then was limited to certain markets. The fact that Moto is owned by Lenovo now is proving beneficial to the brand as Lenovo's supply chain can bring Moto phones to a wider range of markets. The wider availability is one of the reasons why we turned our attention to Moto's current flagship now.

I am very glad to see that this has already been updated to Marshamallow whilst other devices are still languishing on Lollipop (Xperia Z5). What really brings this phone home is the unique aspect of the screen being ‘shatterproof”. This makes it a very good choice for the clutzy among us, but maybe not for those wanting to ditch the digital camera. I have been very pleased with the device I like how well it has been put together and I love the form and fit of it in your hand. Had this been a phone I was going to keep I would have been very happy driving off into the sunset with it, However I have got give it back, so on to the next review.

100% Motorola Moto X Force
Source: It Pro English Archive.org version
Even if you always treat your phones with kid gloves and thus uninterested in the Moto X Force’s ShatterShield screen, this is still an impressive Android phone. It gets almost everything right, with only mediocre low-light photography letting it down. It’s one of our favourite Android phones of 2015.

The Moto X Force is undeniably a force to reckon with among smartphones. This is a powerhouse of a smartphone with good looks, a superb screen, great performance and an excellent camera. Above all, it has a killer feature that's currently exclusive to it: the Moto X Force's display is truly shatterproof, and as a result, the phone can take a pounding like no other. If you have a habit of dropping your phone often or have had to deal with expensive mobile phone repair bills in the past, you should seriously consider the Moto X Force.

79% Motorola Moto X Force Review
Source: Think Digit English Archive.org version
Many have called the Moto X Force overpriced, and in a way, it is. The company is expected to bring phones that are inexpensive, which means that the premium 50k price point always raises doubts in the consumer’s mind. That said, while you and I may be calling the Moto X Force an overpriced phone, neither of us can say it’s not a good phone. So, for those with a severe case of butter fingers, this may be the best phone to buy out there. It’s a complete package, with a screen that never gives in. Unfortunately, though, it just doesn't match up to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 etc. in terms of premiumness.

Moto X Force – Unboxing
Source: Cool Smartphone English Archive.org version
This is a phone that, at first glance, looks unassuming and mild-mannered. However, under the utilitarian exterior lies a beast that will not suffer from those nasty “smashed screen” issues seen on inferior devices. I likened the phone to the Incredible Hulk as it will take a beating and then come back for more.

If you want a phone that can go the distance and won’t shatter after a close encounter with a pavement then you could do a lot worse than take a serious look at the Moto X Force. But, it’s not for everyone. It may be powerful, but it’s also chunky, wide and in many ways more difficult to hold than your typical flagship. Even though the screen is smaller.

80% Motorola Moto X Force review
Source: Stuff TV English Archive.org version
Ultimately, the Moto X Force's USP is that its screen won’t shatter. You can ding the metal surround, you can probably make the rear nylon fray, you can kill it with water if you try. But you can’t shatter the screen because it’s largely plastic. That’s a pretty neat feature for people who seem to smash every phone they own. Battery life is good too. Other phones at the same price get you better ergonomics, better cameras and better screens, though, so the Force isn't irresistably strong with this one.

80% Motorola's new flagship Android phone with a shatterproof screen
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
There’s a clear reason to buy the Moto X Force: the shatter-proof screen. Whether you’re accident prone, or simply need a phone that’s not going to break on you at a critical moment, the X Force should be a compelling choice. It’s a great phone in its own right, too. Powerful and with a top-quality screen and decent (if imperfect) cameras, you can’t ask for much more at this price. Except, perhaps, a fingerprint scanner and use of the second SIM slot for those that want it. Battery life is good, if not quite as long as Motorola claims, and it charges speedily with the included adaptor. Ultimately, the Moto X Force is a little on the expensive side for what you get, but the unique mix of additions to Android and the tough screen will make it worth it for some people.

70% Motorola Moto X Force review: A smashing smartphone
Source: PC Pro English Archive.org version
The one gaping hole in the Motorola Moto X Force’s long list of features is a fingerprint reader. After using a series of reader-enabled handsets over the last few months, I’m firmly of the opinion that, when implemented well, this is a technology well worth having on your smartphone, and the lack of one here is a black mark against the Moto X Force. Added to the middling display quality and slightly off-the-pace camera, and it’s clear you’re not getting the best of the best here. It’s quite an expensive phone as well, at £100 more than the Motorola X Style and £60 pricier than the superlative Nexus 6P. Still, Motorola’s newest smartphone does get an awful lot right, not least the fact that it’s as tough as the proverbial old boot, and has great battery life as well. For serial phone smashers around the globe, it will be an absolute revelation.

90% Motorola Moto X Force Review: In Depth
Source: Recombu English Archive.org version
The Moto X Force is one of the most rugged phones around, with no compromise on performance or features. That shatterproof screen is gorgeously sharp and vibrant, while battery life and camera performance are also solid. Of course, you’ll have to pay top dollar for the Force, which starts at £499, and you don’t get the sexy good looks - or some premium features such as a fingerprint sensor - found on similarly-priced rivals like the Xperia Z5 and Galaxy S6. Bottom line is, if you want a premium phone to take on outdoor jollies where it’s likely to get a bit of a battering, the Moto X Force is a natural choice.

70% A polished Moto G with minor upgrades
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
At this range, Motorola has managed to distance the Moto G Turbo Edition from its very own Moto X Play. While this is a good thing, the Turbo Edition certainly fell short of our expectations and we strongly felt that the Turbo is what the Moto G3 should have been to begin with.

Weatherproofing and the stock Android experience remain strong reasons to choose Motorola, and quick charging is exactly the same kind of feature that adds value to ownership without necessarily reflecting in test scores. In cases like this, being unexciting isn't such a bad thing. The Moto G Turbo Edition is a safe and sensible choice, and you won't have any regrets unless you get a thrill out of showing off the latest and greatest hardware.

This is the phone that the Moto G (3rd Gen) should have been. The Moto G Turbo provides really smooth and good performance in real life, while also giving respectable benchmark scores. In addition, the phone has above average battery life and Motorola's superior service support going for it. It's worth considering unless you want the absolute best performer in the price bracket.

As an all-round package, it’s hard to find fault with the Motorola Moto G4 Plus. It may be more expensive than the third-gen Moto G, but it’s better in most ways – with superior battery life, a better camera, a brighter, bigger screen and a sleeker, more grown-up design.

Moto G4 Plus review

Like we already mentioned, it is a changed Vanilla Android world out there. Google is no longer the shepherd in the distance who simply looks over the flock and provides acts of good will here and there. Now that the web veteran officially threw its gloves in the ring with the Pixel and Pixel XL, conditions are definitely changed. While the latter probably won't disrupt overall market shares and sales numbers in any noticeable way (you need vast and well-established sales channels to even come close to the big-league players nowadays), they do represent a shift in mentality.

Now that the web veteran officially threw its gloves in the ring with the Pixel and Pixel XL, conditions are definitely changed. While the latter probably won't disrupt overall market shares and sales numbers in any noticeable way (you need vast and well-established sales channels to even come close to the big-league players nowadays), they do represent a shift in mentality.

Review: Moto G4 Plus
Source: T Break English Archive.org version
The smartphone offers a nice blend of features at an affordable price point, but it isn’t enough to rise above the intense competition in the mid-range segment. The likes of Xiaomi, LeEco and even Motorola’s parent brand ‘Lenovo’ have comparatively better-looking and better-featured devices with comparable prices. That too for metal build smartphones, compared to the plasticky Moto G4 Plus.

Moto G4 Plus Review: The Best Mid-Range Value Out There?
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
It’s hard to find a reason to recommend against the Moto G4 Plus if you’re looking for a do-everything phone for less than $300. You could even snag the $250 16 GB version and add your own storage through the SD card if you really wanted to stretch your budget, and you’d still get everything listed above minus 2GB of RAM (and pay a mere $50 to upgrade the previously-mentioned features over the base Moto G4).

Moto G4 Plus quick review – the new leader of the popular Moto G family
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Moto G4 Plus is a model that strongly reminds one of the standard Moto G4 both in terms of its design and features. The presence of a separate version, however, which builds up on the mainstream model is not something we see for the first time. Actually, this can be considered as a positive side. In the particular case we can’t say that there are that many differences. The camera has grown to 16MP and now offers a laser autofocus but you can’t really tell the difference in image quality between it and the sensor in Moto G4. On the other hand, the Plus model has a fingerprint scanner which undoubtedly is a useful addition. We must also not forget that Moto G4 Plus comes at a price slightly higher than that of its brother.

Moto G4 And G4 Plus Review: What Are The Pros And Cons?
Source: Forbes English Archive.org version
It seems that the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to the Moto G4 and G4 Plus. If you are looking to own an Android device, then I would strongly consider getting either the Moto G4 or G4 Plus — especially if you are on a budget. Personally, I would take the G4 Plus over the G4 because of its superior camera and memory hardware along with the fingerprint sensor.

With the G4 Plus, Moto has once again delivered a solid phone for not a lot of money. While the stock G4 Plus' design and uncomfortable fingerprint sensor put a slight damper on this new generation, those negatives are easily outweighed by Lenovo's Moto Maker customization tools and a screen, a sharp rear camera and long battery life that deliver a great return on your investment.

Lenovo has seamlessly continued Motorola's good work, refining this popular budget range and elevating expectations about what you can reasonably expect in a relatively cheap Android phone.

If you’re tempted by the Moto G4 Plus purely because of its allegedly better camera, then you shouldn’t bother. It is, for all practical intents and purposes, identical to the camera on the cheaper G4. The only thing that should tempt you to opt for the Plus is its fingerprint reader. We think the convenience is worth the £60 premium so, if you can afford it, then you should definitely choose it over the standard G4.

70% A worthy upgrade, but not the best in its class
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
The camera is impressive and Moto has finally proved that the company has the capability to incorporate a quality camera module. Even the display looks sharp and vivid for something at that price, although we wish that Motorola had used a 5-inch panel rather than 5.5-inch one. The fingerprint scanner is very snappy, even though it’s tiny in size and the performance is up to the mark, if the best. If you are looking for a balance of quality rather than high-end performance, the Moto G4 Plus is the option to go for.

Lenovo Moto G4 Plus review
Source: Stuff TV English Archive.org version
The Moto G series is not what it used to be. It’s proved so successful that it now covers the mid-range phone buyer as well as the bargain hunter. Thankfully, this year’s upgrades mean it doesn’t seem out of place in this next league. Fast charging, a better screen and a pretty good camera make this mid-ranger easy to recommend. Upgrading to the Plus model is not essential, though. The £169 vanilla version still earns the most penny-pinching cred.

The original Moto G disrupted the budget Android phone market and Motorola deserves credit for that. But since then a lot has happened and many new overeager disrupters have joined the game. At the same time, the Moto G models have steadily moved up the price range and this latest generation is the most expensive one yet, stretching the meaning of the term 'affordable' to new heights.

Although the new Moto G4 is more expensive than the third-generation, Motorola is offering a Full HD screen, better processor, more storage and memory.

Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus Review: Pretty Nice, Low Price
Source: The Cheat Sheet English Archive.org version
The sweet spot here seems to be for the base Moto G4 Plus, as it comes with that slightly better camera, fingerprint scanner, and quick charging capability. At $249, it’s only a little more expensive than a OnePlus X and has some better features, and it’s cheaper than the Moto X. Definitely a solid buy for someone trying to dodge the hefty price tag of the latest Samsung or Apple flagship phones while still getting something that looks good and performs admirably.

80% Australian Review: Motorola Moto G4 Plus - Bigger Ain'T Always Better
Source: Cybershack English Archive.org version
The Moto G4 Plus isn't quite as easy to recommend as last year's third generation Moto G, but it's nonetheless a fantastic bang-for-buck smartphone. The screen is lovely, the camera is much better than expected, and stock Android is always welcome. On the other hand, the design is uninspired, and you've got quirks like a front-facing fingerprint reader that doesn't also work as a home button. The jump to a 5.5-inch display will win some over, but will be a deal breaker for others.

At $250 the Moto G4 Plus also faces stiff competition from previous-gen flagships. The LG G4 costs $280, which is just $30 more and packs much better hardware across the board. Or you could purchase the Google Nexus 5X, which often hovers around $250 as an unbelievably good deal. My advice is to pocket your $50 and purchase the standard Motorola Moto G4 if you’re after an excellent budget handset. If you want to spend a full $250, I’d strongly recommend the Nexus 5X over the Moto G4 Plus, which provides much better value at its ultra-cheap price point.

Because the Moto Z and Moto Z Force are Verizon exclusives for the foreseeable future, the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus are better recommendations if you’re wanting to buy from Lenovo’s Moto brand. These phones carry low price tags and ship with clean software, and you can take them to just about any carrier for seamless use. But the price is truly good for the Moto G4 alone.

Source: Pocketnow English Archive.org version
These are great little phones. In 2016 Moto doesn’t deliver quite the impact they once did when they were one of the only manufacturers offering a high quality experience at such a low price, but we’re happy to see how competitive this generation has become by offering a spectrum of devices. Instead of just two options divided by storage, consumers have a number of options to select depending on their individual needs. Even at $200 though, you’ll end up with a phone which would have shamed a Galaxy S4, LG Optimus G Pro, or HTC One M7 when those phones were new.

Review: The new Moto G/G Plus phones add size, features and cost
Source: Computerworld.com English Archive.org version
With their comfortable feel, excellent displays, good cameras and day-long battery life, the Moto G phones are fine choices if you want to spend less for your next Android smartphone. Considering its better camera and fingerprint sensor, I'd strongly consider spending the extra $50 for the Moto G Plus, although that does push it from "cheap" to "reasonably priced."

The G4 Plus is a different story. I’ve requested another review unit in an attempt to get down to the bottom of whether the interface glitching and unresponsiveness spans across all models. But until then, I’d warn that you’re gambling if you’re considering bringing home this $250 device—which shoots up to $300+ if you get it with 4GB of RAM.

Moto G4 and G4 Plus Review
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
Both the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus are some well-done mid-rangers, marrying performance that should be adequate for casual users with some very attractive pricing. But a lot of companies give us well-executed phones; are the new Moto G4s anything special? Well, that's sadly to say a bit of a “no.” The Moto Gs in general have been experiencing a sort of drift over the years, and while they're still a cheap alternative to Motorola's flagships, they no longer feel like they're doing much that's unique to stand out in the mid-ranger space.

70% Motorola Moto G4 Plus
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
For $300, the Moto G4 Plus is a capable midrange phone, and a good option if you're concerned about cross-carrier compatibility since it supports both CDMA and GSM along with numerous LTE bands. But its sibling the G4 costs $80 less by losing the fingerprint sensor and 2GB of RAM. It offers the same degree of carrier compatibility and almost identical performance, making it the better pick among the two. If you're not likely to be switching carriers, the OnePlus 3 provides a better value.

Bigger and (mostly) better
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
Motorola's big problem with these new phones is that the last Moto G was simply too good. In pushing for larger screens and other upgrades, it also introduced some compromises. Ultimately though, the good outweighs the bad. The Moto G4 and G4 Plus offer plenty of power and versatility without breaking the bank.

If we're going to keep playing the for just this much more you can get ... game, then you should also know that you can get a phone that not just feels high-end, but is high-end, for only $399 in the OnePlus 3. It too runs a mostly stock version of Android (though its update schedule isn't likely to be as good as Motorola's), while adding a cutting-edge processor, 6 GB of RAM, nearly as good battery life and (mostly) high-end specs everywhere else. If you're already considering the 64 GB version of the Moto G4 Plus, then the OnePlus is going to be tempting for just an extra Benjamin.

Still king of the affordable market?

Back in 2013, the Moto G was a game-changer. As phones were getting bigger and more expensive, the Moto G offered an uncompromising experience at an impulse buy price. And even though it didn’t come equipped with the latest specs, it quickly went on to become Motorola’s most successful phone ever—even surpassing the hallowed Razr, which basically defined the flip phone era.

80% Plus and minus

When we first saw the Motorola Moto G4 and G4 Plus, we though the Plus was hands-down the one to choose. Having used both handsets for weeks and days at a time, however, we've taken an about-turn on that initial feeling: the Plus does have plenty of positives, in that it can handle the day-to-day with no troubles and lasts out for a decent period of time per charge, but in the wider context of the smartphone market it has its minuses too.

80% Extra storage, fingerprint scanner and 16Mp camera will tempt some to upgrade
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The Moto G4 Plus is a nice phone but it's very similar to the regular model. Since we're disappointed in the camera (with no noticeable difference), it's not worth paying the extra money to get a fingerprint scanner which can't even be used with Android Pay since there's no NFC. The only real reason to opt for the Plus is to gain more storage and the extra RAM which comes with the 64GB model; however, the Micro-SD card slot negates this somewhat.

Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
Is it much better than the regular Moto G4? Well, if you’re happy to lay down that extra cash, then yes – the camera is more reliable and having a fingerprint scanner is always handy. The fast charger alone costs £30 if you want to buy it separately. You’re getting a fantastic phone either way, but I'd recommend spending the extra if you can, buying the 16GB version and complementing it with a 64GB microSD card to make good use of Android's Adoptable Storage.

The obvious question is, which is best for you: the Moto G4 or Moto G4 Plus? Well, we’d honestly say that unless you’re constantly snapping hyper kids, there’s no need to splash out extra money on the Plus’ 16-meg camera. That super-smart auto-focus definitely helps with fast-moving subjects, but otherwise the difference in photo quality is negligible.

Moto G4 Plus Review: A No-Nonsense Mid-Ranger
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
On paper, the Moto G4 Plus is easily outgunned by phones from Xiaomi, LeEco, and other Chinese companies. It does not sport a metal unibody design that has become a commonplace even in phones priced below $200 mark. It also lacks the water resistance capabilities found on its predecessor. And not to forget, the Snapdragon 617 chipset inside the Moto G4 Plus has severe overheating issues.

Yes, the camera is better, and yes, you do get a fingerprint reader – oh, and there’s a more powerful mains charger in the box that lets you charge the phone more quickly. But is this all worth £60? I’d say not. That’s not to belittle the Motorola Moto G4 Plus, though. It’s the Moto G4 with slight improvements, so it’s awesome. But compare it directly with its sibling, which is damned near as good and available for so much less, and it’s a considerably less appealing purchase.

Ultimately, the Moto G4 Plus doesn't offer quite enough to make it a viable upgrade over the regular G4, and even its super-fast processor just can't quite match its nearest competitor, the OnePlus 2, making it something of an awkward middle child rather than a shining star in the Moto G roster. As a result, you're either better off saving your money and going with the regular Moto G4, or, if you really want a proper cut-price powerhouse, then the OnePlus 2 is your next best bet. Buy the Moto G4 Plus now from Motorola.

Verizon Moto Z & Moto Z Force [Review]
Source: G Style Magazine English Archive.org version
So with this all said and done I like the new Moto Z devices that have come out this year. They run pretty good thanks to their specs and battery life can be strongly relied on. Moto Mods is an interesting concept and depending if one caters to you it could be a good fit for your mobile lifestyle. I do like the Moto Z more only because its slimmer and lighter than the Moto Z Force but can see that more expensive route that need more in their devices.

So, there you have it for this in-depth look at the Motorola Moto Z and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge! Both of these devices are two really fantastic smartphones in their own right, but what it is really going to come down to is how much you value the Moto Mods, and how easily you can get your hands on one of them. The Galaxy S7 Edge is the easier phone to get right now, with it being available from all major network carriers, and while an unlocked version of the Moto Z will be arriving soon, Verizon is your only option currently.

Motorola Moto Z Force vs LG G5 – Modular Or Mods?
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
On the other hand, quite literally, the LG G5 has some trouble convincing us to use its modularity. And not just us, either – I personally have come across a few people recently who were using the G5 without mods. Upon asking, these people said that they didn’t ever get a Friend or use the ones that may have come with their phones. What they did enjoy was the camera package, where the wide angle shooter totally added to their picture and video taking experiences. We tend to feel the same way, as the wide angle camera is the most fun we’ve had shooting with a smartphone in a while.

Moto Z Force Droid review
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
Lenovo's Moto Z Force Droid took over for the Moto X Force (Droid Turbo 2 in the US) and has kept the same screen size as the standard Moto Z model. Whatever deal Verizon has struck with Motorola, obviously it's not one that they will be letting go of anytime soon. Many might be upset that the Moto Z Force is not making a worldwide debut (at least for now). Even in previous years of Verizon's Droid exclusivity, there was always a worldwide version (e.g. Droid Turbo 2 = Moto X Force). So this is why we still hang on to the chance of it happening again. Or perhaps Lenovo is doing away with a shatterproof version of the Moto flagship for worldwide release, we'll see.

When two handsets do so much, so well, it's tricky delivering a balanced comparison. Sure, there will inevitably be areas where one phone outdoes the other, or one exhibits an unfortunate weakness. And as a result, we can end up getting pretty picky about just which measuring sticks we're using to evaluate these smartphones. But you can rest easy knowing that whether you go with the Galaxy S7 edge or the Moto Z Force Droid, you'll be rocking one of the best-equipped phones of 2016.

The Moto Z Force Droid is definitely the “better” of the two latest devices from Motorola and Lenovo. With its larger battery, better camera, and ShatterShield display you’d be hard pressed to pass this device up if given the opportunity. Even though its a bit heavier and thicker, it’s still thinner than other flagship devices on the market, so we’ll give this one the nod of approval.

Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
Even without MotoMods to boost its feature set, the Moto Z Force is worthy of your consideration if you're looking for one of the best Android phones to be released in 2016. It competes with the top contenders in terms of sheer power, battery life and screen resolution. But in that regard, it doesn't really offer anything new. We're still on the cusp of devices packed with the Snapdragon 821, which could quickly leave the Moto Z Force in the long run.

90% Motorola's beefier Z smartphone is better without its mods
Source: Greenbot English Archive.org version
I’d suggest you don’t even bother with the Moto Z unless you’re particularly attracted to the idea of the Moto Mods. And definitely don’t choose this variant if you do like Motorola’s approach to modular smartphones. The Moto Z Force’s thicker chassis doesn’t pair well with the mods. Once you strap on a mod like the JBL SoundBooster, or even one of the Power Packs, it feels like you’re carting around a brick in your bag. However, I love the shatter-resistant display and the stellar 21-megapixel camera. The extra $100 is worth it for the rear-facing camera alone, and with its larger battery pack, you can ensure the Z Force can carry you through even the longest of days.

Moto Z Force Droid vs Apple iPhone 6s Plus
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
Whether you're looking at the Apple iPhone 6s Plus or the Moto Z Force Droid, both these phones offer some tangible benefits over the iPhone 6s and Moto Z Droid, respectively. Those benefits don't come without trade-offs, though, and from added expense, to increased size (though we suppose that could be a plus, depending on your preferences), there are a number of factors that might drive potential shoppers to their sibling-phones.

Moto has a really interesting pair of phones here. The Moto Z represents a solid flagship, but if we were pressed to pick between the two, we’d probably side with the Z Force over the Z. Shopping these phones on Verizon, we’re looking at $624 for the Moto Z and $720 for the Z force. If thin is your thing, you can’t beat the regular Z. It will give off a stunning first impression. However, the additional battery, nicer camera, and more durable screen on the Z Force are well worth the additional $100 if you have the means. The additional girth, which happens to be less than the thickness of a Galaxy S7, is hardly a compromise.

Moto Z Force DROID Review

Updates on Android are very important. I repeat, updates are muy importante. If I know a certain device shouldn’t be expecting an update anytime soon, especially with a major Android release coming up, I can’t recommend it. On top of that, we have Nexus phones coming soon. Should you hold off on the new DROIDs and see what Google has to offer in 2016? Yes, yes you absolutely should. If the new Nexus phones end up being poor offerings, which they probably won’t be, you can go back and consider the DROID. Once you’re back on the DROID, though, there’s the upcoming Galaxy Note 7 to consider. Ugh, buying phones is hard.

There are only two downsides to the Z Force Droid: it's big and it lacks a headphone jack. But I think it's worth putting up with these issues. While I'd still pick the Galaxy S7 as my own device because I'm into smaller phones, the Z Force Droid combines lots of power, some great accessories, and much sleeker software than Samsung provides.

Will the Moto Z launch a new age of cheaper hardware modules for your phone, like the iPhone did for “apps”? Look, never say never, but there needs to be a more compelling set of mods released first. The Moto Z is a good phone that Motorola loyalists will love. The rest of us? The prospect of spending another $399 for a bulky camera might just be a tough sell.

The Motorola Moto Z wowed us when it was first revealed. The Moto Mods system is clever and some of the accessories are fun. But we can't help feeling that the Moto Z was compromised to make it a better modular phone. That thinness that's proclaimed doesn't result in a nice design and when you're using the phone day-to-day and Mods as a rare addition, it's compromise that you feel.

The Moto Z is a mixed bag, successful in some areas and not in others. As long as you can deal with the jettisoning of the headphone jack and carrying a Power Pack Mod, the modular nature of the Moto Z makes it a compelling alternative to other flagships. It’s also arguably a better choice than the LG G5. Battery life isn't great, though and the Moto Z Play is also compatible with Moto Mods, has much better battery life and is much cheaper at £369.99. If you don't need a modular phone, the OnePlus 3 is almost as good at the Moto Z for way less money.

For $700, the unlocked Moto Z offers the same slim build, excellent performance, and unique removable backs as Verizon's Moto Z Droid. If you're an AT&T or T-Mobile user into the idea of Mot Mods, the Moto Z is a great choice. Only the LG G5$624.00 at Verizon Wireless has similar modular functionality, but with a much more limited set of add-on options. On the other hand, if you're simply looking for the best unlocked phone, the Google Pixel XL has a faster processor, a better camera, guaranteed Android updates, an advanced voice assistant, and 24/7 support. For a more affordable choice, the ZTE Axon 7 offers similar performance, a metal unibody build, and serious audio capability for nearly half the price.

Throughout the review I constantly compared the Moto Z to the Pixel XL. The reason for that is they have the same size display, similar processors (SD820 vs SD821), are approximately the same size and while the Moto Z is only running Android 6.0.1 and the Pixel XL Android 7.1 they have similar software. The experiences between the two phones were very similar in fact — that’s how good I thought the Moto Z was.

Despite not being the first phone to feature modular accessories, Motorola’s Moto Z is probably the best implementation of that particular concept to date. The mods are easy to put on and take off, and are already available in the market, should you decide to buy one. And the mods aren’t the only reason why you should take a look at the Moto Z if you’re itching to grab a flagship this holiday season – the phone is sexy, fun and fast, and you’re missing out on a lot if you don’t at least take a look at it in stores.

Motorola is a company that like HTC, hasn’t been able to regain previous success even after releasing numerous phones that reviewed well. Ever since Samsung took over the game a few years back, it’s been tough for anyone to keep up and turn a profit. Motorola, under Lenovo, was expected to return to the glory days of the original DROID, yet that hasn’t happened and Lenovo has recently had to admit that things haven’t exactly gone as they had hoped. So what does Motorola do? Release two phones that are arguably their most innovative to date and lock them onto Verizon as exclusives.

Additionally, much of the Moto Z Droid’s capabilities are hinged on what different modules will come out of the woodworks once the device is launched. Looking at what the Moto Z Droid is capable out of the box, we are blown away. From the ridiculously thin form-factor, the decent camera, and the ability to attach modules to the device with a snap, Motorola definitely seems to have a winner on its hands.

Adding the Moto Mods brings versatility, and if the mods continue to bring convenient but useful features, the packages of the Moto Z and Moto Z Force can be really hard to pass up. As phones on their own, the new Motos are still worthy of their flagship designation, boasting every feature that a high-end device should have, and the user experience that can prove reliable on the daily.

The Motorola Moto Z Droid packs a lot into a very slim package. Were there no Force version, it would be a close second to the Galaxy S7 series. Motorola's Android software is better than Samsung's, and the Moto Mods are genuinely compelling add-ons. But camera and Wi-Fi performance are important, and in those regards, the Galaxy S7 pulls ahead slightly.

80% Motorola proves modular smartphones are the future of mobility
Source: PC World English Archive.org version
The Moto X was a great line of smartphones, but never particularly exemplary. The Moto Z, on the other hand, is the Lexus to the Moto X’s Toyota: It’s a sturdy, confidence-inspiring device that promises extra bits of luxury. In the Moto Z’s case, those luxury promises are the Moto Mods. Sure, you can opt for basic cosmetic flourishes with Power Packs featuring Kate Spade and TUMI branding, but you can also customize how you use the Moto Z. And that’s the whole point behind the Moto Z’s modularity: To help you to create your perfect smartphone.

80% Modularity Done Right
Source: Tom's Guide English Archive.org version
I really like how progressive the Moto Z and Z Force feel. Both phones feature a refreshing function-first approach to design. The standard Moto Z pushes the boundaries of smartphone thinness, while the Z Force comes with an even sharper camera, longer battery life and a shatter-resistant screen. Add in a more approachable take on smartphone modularity than what’s currently available, and you get a phone that's a bigger success than the LG G5 in almost every way.

The mods can’t save this one
Source: Techno Buffalo English Archive.org version
Regardless, I am smitten by the Moto Z’s design, and it operates smoothly during day-to-day use. But with sketchy battery life, a so-so camera, and a cool idea that’s not yet great, this one is a “wait.” If anything, I’d reconsider when the Moto Z is available unlocked later this year. By then, we’ll have seen devices such as the Galaxy Note 7, iPhone 7, and maybe even a new Nexus, and that’s some really, really tough competition.

The Moto Z is an intriguing if not fully formed glimpse at a modular future
Source: Tech Crunch English Archive.org version
The Moto Z’s standard battery is a healthy 2600 mAh, and an upgrade to the Z Force will get you a massive 3500 mAh, though that comes with a higher price tag and, naturally, a much thicker profile. Between the Incipio battery Mod and the TurboPower charging courtesy of the proprietary charging brick, however, most users will once again be pretty satisfied.

Indeed the mid-range handset offered by Moto is a competitive one under its category due to its modular features. Add to it the long battery life with good camera when used in daylit environment. However, there is no future-proofing on this one.

Source: Think Digit English Archive.org version
To sum up, the Moto Z Play is one of the better smartphones we’ve reviewed in 2016. While it does lack the speed that a phone in this price range should have these days, one has to appreciate its incredible battery life. The camera is also quite good, matched only by the Asus Zenfone 3. Given that the Moto Z Play is faster (in real world performance) than the Zenfone 3, we would recommend this to camera-centric users looking for a phone under 25k. However, if you want no compromise, the OnePlus 3 remains a much better smartphone on overall terms.

We’re glad you can ignore the whole modular side, though - then you're left with a keenly-priced phone that lasts absolutely ages between charges. If your top priority is lasting all day regardless of what you get up, stop looking. You’ve found your next phone. The only thing holding the Z Play back from a full 5-star rating is the OnePlus 3. For slightly less cash, it gets you a prettier design, a more reliable camera and a lot more power. It doesn’t last as long off a charge though, so it only wins on a points decision rather than a straight knockout.

The OnePlus 3 is arguably the closest rival of the Moto Z Play. However, the 'modular' design, gesture-based features and the ability to support microSD cards are all features that give the Z Play an edge. We quite appreciate the bold approach of Motorola and the fact that it implemented an idea that was just a concept only a few years ago. The Moto Z Play is a well-rounded and affordable mid-range device that sets a benchmark for the competition. How well and how soon the said competition responds to it, is something that remains to be seen.

82% Motorola Moto Z Play Droid review: An exceptional phone value that gets even better with MotoMods
Source: Android Guys English Archive.org version
Hats off to Lenovo for its first major line with the Moto brand. We really like the value of the Z Play Droid and think it makes for an excellent choice for most smartphone users. It does rely on MotoMods for its true, long-term value, but we're optimistic based on what we've seen so far. Sleek, sexy, and snappy, it's also affordable. Were it not for the pre-loaded suite of Verizon apps we would have scored the OS much higher; the Moto blend of Android is among our favorite. The Hasselblad True Zoom MotoMod is just a few tweaks away from being an outright must-have accessory. We like the optical zoom and added flexibility in shooting modes, but we'd like more control over a manual setting. Thicken it up a smidge at the bottom and put in a tripod mount and we're all over it.

Motorola gives us hope the modular smartphone can work. It smartly implemented the feature with the Moto Z lineup, and then combined it with a world-class battery to make the Moto Z Play Droid a compelling smartphone. There’s plenty of competition in the $400 range, with the Moto Z Play Droid occupying a special niche with its innovative design. It’s definitely not “another boring smartphone.

The affordable Moto Z Play works with swappable modular accessories, retains its headphone jack (unlike the more upmarket Moto Z and Z Force) and has a battery that goes on and on. The Z Play is the thickest and heaviest phone in the Moto Z series and its fingerprint sensor, annoyingly, can be mistaken for a home button.

Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
The Moto Z Play Droid offers the most affordable ticket of entry yet into the world of Moto Mods expansion, supporting all the existing add-ons like the projector, speaker, and various battery packs, as well as the new Hasselblad True Zoom camera. If you liked the idea of all those when you first heard about the Moto Z, but weren't quite up for paying flagship prices for your new phone, the Moto Z Play is practically built for you. Even if we ignore all that modular-phone action, the Moto Z Play still represents a fantastic option for users looking to stretch battery life to its absolute limits. We've seen plenty of mid-3,000-mAh phones before, but few that push operational life into this well-above-twelve-hours space; and while the LG X Power might have killed things with its fifteen-hour run-time, the Moto Z Play offers a heck of a lot more phone than that bargain-basement model.

The best 'modular' phone you can get, for whatever that's worth
Source: Android Police English Archive.org version
For the most part, I think Motorola made the right tweaks to the Moto Z Play to get the price down. The screen isn't the best, and the SoC gets a little overwhelmed by gaming. On the other hand, the fingerprint sensor is as good as the more expensive Z phones, and there's a headphone jack. Seriously, Motorola. What were you thinking removing that on a $700 phone?

Source: Tom's Guide English Archive.org version
As a phone, the Moto Z Play is a good midway point between the ultra-thin Moto Droid and the powerful Moto Z Force. It performs well, has great battery life, and its camera is pretty good, too. I wish it had less bloatware, but that’s something endemic to most all Android phones. For $270 less (compared to the unlocked Moto Z Play), the OnePlus 3 offers much better performance, an all-metal design, but five hours less endurance. Ultimately, though, the Moto Z Play is a good phone that has the potential, through add-on Mods, to be a very good phone.

I recommend you wait until the direct, carrier-unlocked version goes on sale in October and grab one of those, even if you're on Verizon's network. If you're on AT&T or T-Mobile, you might consider the international variant, which doesn't support CDMA (Sprint and Verizon) but does work with more GSM frequencies and LTE bands. You can avoid the carrier bloat and stand a better chance of getting more timely OS and security updates by buying the unlocked versions.

Affordable, powerful, and modular
Source: Talk Android English Archive.org version
All things considered, the Moto Z Play Droid almost feels like the real successor to the Moto X line that we’ve all been waiting for. It’s not terribly expensive, costing around $400 on Verizon or $449 for the unlocked version, but it still supports Moto Mods and checks all the boxes that are really important. It performs well, the camera is good enough, and the battery life is stellar. Lenovo made trade-offs where it wouldn’t hurt too much, like the 1080p display instead of 1440p resolution, but nothing that really interferes with day-to-day usage.

Mid-Ranger with Massive Battery Life [Review]

At a price point of around $400 I expected this phone experience to be slightly different. But Motorola definitely knows how to make a mid-range smartphone without skimming or compromising too much integrity of the product itself. It takes decent pictures, has a clean and huge enough display, works with all moto mods, and has a killer battery life with it. I did use this a ton at Made in America this past weekend and im fairly impressed with it.

It's also handy that when you connect a Moto Mod that has a battery in it (such as a PowerPack or the Insta-Share projector) a notification appears on screen with its battery level. The projector will continue running even when the battery is depleted as it will take power from the Moto Z Play.

The Moto Z Play supports nano-SIM cards, and while Motorola has not specified whether India will receive the dual-SIM variant, we do expect this to be the case. There's also a fingerprint reader, a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfers, a 3.5mm socket for audio, and a liquid-repellent nano-coating. Although India pricing has not been announced, we expect the phone to cost under Rs. 30,000.

Moto Z Play

The Moto Z Play is an affordable, stripped-down version of Motorola’s original semi-modular phone, and I can see it being a big hit in Europe. Since OnePlus made people realise you don’t have to break the bank to get a great smartphone, the mid-range market has boomed. If Motorola’s claims of a 50-hour battery life come anywhere close, and if the True Zoom add-on isn't too overpriced, this could be a truly compelling package.

The Moto Z Play Droid is set to be available on September 8 exclusively on Verizon at first, then in the unlocked market. It’s too early to tell if other carriers will join. At a full price of ~$400, the phone seems to carry a good quality/price ratio, but we’ll need to run the numbers and compare it with other players in this field, including the OnePlus 3, and the Honor 8. This market is extremely competitive, and differentiation such as MotoMods could help Motorola distinguishing itself and get out from the “specs” game.

The phone comes with an internal, non-removable 3,510mAh battery. We’ve found that it lasts us well beyond two full days of use but we’re not using it as a daily driver just yet. Additionally, we’ve yet to load all of our apps and accounts to the handset so we do expect to see it drop. Charging is super fast, for what it’s worth, thanks to the TurboPower cable. According to Motorola, spending 15 minutes on the charger will result in 10 hours of power.

Motorola Moto E3 Power

The Motorola Moto E3 Power is a mid-range smartphone by Motorola Mobility that looks very simple and functional. It doesn’t have any kind of outstanding features in terms of design but this is not bad. It is powered by a MediaTek quad-core chipset, a Mali-T720MP2 GPU and 2 GB RAM. It comes with 16 GB of internal storage, which might not be sufficient for users who install a lot of apps or snap a lot of photos and record many videos. However, users can expand the storage capacity by up to 32 GB with a microSD card. There are two colors available to be chosen, which are black and white. The smartphone has a water repellent nano-coating which creates a water repellent barrier to help protect against moderate exposure to water such as accidental spills, splashes, or light rain. However, it is not suggested to use the phone submerged in water or exposed to pressurized water since it is not waterproof. There are many flagship smartphones which feature water and dust proofing but seeing this available on a mid-tier phone such as the E3 Power is certainly a good thing. The Motorola Moto E3 Power measures at 143.8 x 71.6 x 9.6 mm (5.66 x 2.82 x 0.38 in) and weighs at 153.5 g (5.43 oz). It is powered by a removable Li-Ion 3500 mAh battery, which last a day during normal usage. It also supports fast battery charging. As for operating system, it runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Motorola Mobility smartphones always run on stock Android which is bloatware-free and not modified by other vendors, something that was made possible by their previous partnerships with google. The Motorola Moto E3 Power is no exception from this, which will ensure user experiencing the original version of Android. As for the display, it features a 5.0-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen supporting 16M colors with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a pixel density of 294 PPI. The screen-to-body ratio is at approximately 66.9% which almost the same as of an Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Its primary camera of 8 MP with autofocus and LED flash is capable of recording 720p videos at 30 fps, which is quite low for a device in this category. Most mid-range smartphones are capable of shooting Full HD videos. The secondary 5 MP camera with beautification mode is ideal for pretty selfies. Additional features of the camera include Burst mode, HDR , Panorama, Tap (anywhere) to capture and Tap to focus. With dual sim dual standby support, it is capable of using two micro-SIM cards simultaneously. This is useful especially for people who travel a lot, since they can use a SIM card of the country they visit without needing to remove their local SIM card. For connectivity, it has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, hotspot, Bluetooth v4.0, GPS, FM radio and supporting 2G/3G/4G network. Sensors built-in include an accelerometer and a proximity sensor. As for input/output ports, it features microUSB v2.0 and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

The sole reason to buy the Moto E3 Power is its battery life. However, we think the Xiaomi Redmi 3s is the better overall smartphone. It doesn’t have the same battery life that the Moto E does, but still lasts a full day. The Moto E3 Power doesn’t provide the experience that Motorola promises and isn’t a worthy purchase. Buy it only if you want Motorola’s brand name and can’t compromise even a minute on battery life.

Ideally, it shouldn't be your first preference, but oh well, if you absolutely have to have a smartphone right now, it's worth a second look, at least. It is also easier to buy. There are a few other options. The Coolpad Note 3 Lite is one of them. If, however, you're looking to buy a Moto phone, the Moto G4 Play (even though it has a smaller battery) makes a little more sense than the Moto E3 Power. It does cost a little more though. The Moto G3 Turbo is also a good option.

Motorola Moto M review – the beginning of a new stylish line
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Since they went under the management of Lenovo, Motorola present more and more models, and the M line is completely new. Its first representative, Moto M, has a stylish design, which includes a fully metal construction and thin profile. All trendy extras and smartphone technologies are available – the 2.5D display glass, fingerprint sensor, and USB Type-C port.

To conclude, the Moto M is a fine smartphone which is good for those who are looking for a premium build, large display, loud speaker, good camera, and decent battery life. Lastly, it doesn’t cost much at Php14,999. We just hope that they would keep it up to date by upgrading it to Android 7.0 Nougat soon.

Motorola Moto M Unboxing, Initial Review: Missing Piece Of The Puzzle
Source: Unbox English Archive.org version
Just like Moto’s other phones, the Moto M has vanilla Android 6.0 inside of it. We generally like vanilla Android but you do miss out on additional features that UI overlays that other brands offer. Motorola also says that the Moto M is splash resistant thanks to a special coating that they used, but we’d avoid dunking this in water since there’s no IP rating to be found anywhere.

65% Motorola Moto M Review
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
All things considered, the Moto M is a good phone. It is well-designed, has not-too-shabby battery life, as well as an intuitive and light interface that does not feel overwhelming. True, it falls short in certain areas: the overall performance left us wanting more, the display is inaccurate in terms of color reproduction, and the camera's image quality could use a few improvements.

Motorola Moto M review
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
With all those Ms in its name, is the Motorola Moto M the ultimate Midranger? If you've gotten this far, you already know that's not the case. But if 'good-looking, average-performing, reasonably-priced' rings well with your particular list of priorities when shopping for a smartphone, the Moto M fits the bill just right.

Motorola Moto X4

Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

In 2011, Motorola Mobility was founded as the result form the split of its main company, Motorola. Motorola Mobility was sold by Google to Lenovo – a Chinese originated company – in 2014. The first Android smartphone by Motorola was launched in 2009 followed by their first Android tablet in 2011. In November 2017, Motorola launched its latest smartphone known as Moto X4, a refreshingly simple, smart and secure smartphone. The Moto X4 meets the best in class Google experience. It is available in Super Black and Sterling Blue color. The phone is a single SIM smartphone which does not accept Nano-SIM. The Moto X4 is IP68 water resistant, which can protect the phone from any accidental splashes, spills or puddles. The phone made from precision-crafted glass and metal is easy to hold and easy on the eyes with a beautiful contoured design. The smartphone is equipped with Android 7.1 Nougat. It has a weight of 163 grams and a size of 148.35 x 73.40 x 7.00 mm. The camera bump gives the phone a little extra thickness of 9.45 mm, which is something that many are not too keen on. Nevertheless, this is something that is already common in the smartphone industry with major players like Apple and Huawei doing it. The phone features 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. If this is not enough, the storage can be expanded via microSD card. It is powered by a 2.2 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor, a good processor matching the goodness of its style. The Moto X4 comes with 5.2-inch touchscreen display a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and a pixel density of 424 PPI, a fingerprint reader (front-mounted), a compass, a proximity sensor, and an accelerometer. The dual camera solution on the rear side consisting of a 12 MP sensor and an 8 MP sensor with autofocus and dual-tone flash shoots  best photos in wide angle and low light detection. The 16 MP front camera for selfies features its own flash. Other features of Moto X4, are face detection, geo-tagging, panorama, and auto-HDR. The video can be recorded in 2160p and 1080p resolution. This phone includes Moto Actions gesture, which can launch the camera and lets the user set the lock screen. The phone comes with the following sensors: gyroscope, ambient light sensor, accelerometer, proximity sensor, and compass magnetometer. The smartphone uses MP3 and WAV ringtones as the alert types. It has a  front-ported speaker and a 3.5 mm jack, and its dedicated microphone features noise cancellation. The non-removable Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery supports fast charging (15W). The Moto X4 can last a workday without a charge. It comes with the latest software features, which can save the battery, and the TurboPower ultra-fast charging can get up to 6 hours within 15 minutes. It is, granted, a long-lasting and stylish smartphone that everyone ought to get as their daily driver.

Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

The Motorola Moto X4 is a mid-range smartphone that has a lot going for it considering its price tag. It has a dual-lens camera, a glass design, waterproofing, Alexa and the ability to stream to four Bluetooth speakers at once. The design is far more attractive than the Moto Z2 Play, which felt a little sharp and awkward to hold, especially with Moto Mod attachments. The X4 has a mixed metal and glass design that looks swish by comparison. The 3D Gorilla Glass front and rear and contoured sides make it noticeably more comfortable to hold. Although the platinum model was an outright smudge magnet, it felt suitably rugged. The IP68 water-resistance rating also means that it will survive accidental aquatic encounters unscathed. The X4’s 5.2-inch screen is Full HD, which means a resolution of 1.080 x 1.920 pixels. The screen is bright, colorful and reasonably crisp. It’s not going to live up to the standards of flagships from the likes of Samsung and LG, and its bezels prevent it from being as immersive as an edge-to-edge would. Tut for the price, it is a good offering. Inside the X4 is Qualcomm’s mid-range processor offering, the Snapdragon 630, paired with 3 GB of RAM. The user will get 32 GB internal storage. There’s support for a microSD card up to 2 TB. The battery is a non-removable 3,000 mAh model, which Moto describes as being capable of providing power “all day.” It charges via USB-C, with TurboPower, which means six hours of power is achievable with just 15 minutes of charging time. One of the Moto X4’s key features is its camera. With dual lenses, a user will be able to capture higher quality images and add depth effects. Those lenses feature 12 MP and 8 MP resolution. The Dual Autofocus Pixel technology helps to keep things sharp. There’s also a 16 MP front-facing camera for selfies, which offers an adaptive low light mode as well as a Panoramic Selfie feature to capture bigger groups or the environment behind. The Moto X4 runs Android 7.1 Nougat. A user will also get Motorola’s Moto Experiences, which include Moto Display and Moto Actions. Moto Key means the user can access password-secured websites using their fingerprint rather than having to type a password every time. Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant allows hand-free use. It has been uses by Motorola for the first time. The Google Assistant is still available. Hence, users can take their pick. Additional features include a fingerprint sensor built into the home button, as well as NFC and 802.11ac Wi-Fi. The Moto X4 has the ability to pair with up to four Bluetooth speakers at once, which means a user will be able to place even the most mismatched speakers around a room and stream music to all of them simultaneously. It also allows volume control for each speaker individually.

Alexa, where are you? The Moto X4 is released with a dual camera, IP68 protection, and a stylish design, trying to conquer the midrange market. However, the promised support for Amazon Alexa is not currently available on our test device. Is the Moto X4 still worth buying? Our review will show.

Moto X4 6GB RAM review: High on performance but…
Source: The Mobile Indian English Archive.org version
Motorola Moto X4 is clearly an upgrade over the older variant. The performance boost is welcome but camera and battery life leave room for improvement. One of the things that work in favour of Moto X4 is the price tag. There’s barely any phone worth recommending between Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000, leaving Moto X4 the only better alternative. If you aren’t keen on spending a couple of thousands, you may still consider the 4GB variant of Moto X4.

Overall, the Moto X4 with 6GB RAM is a good addition to the Moto X4 series at Rs. 24,999. Still the company sticks to 64GB storage instead of moving to 128GB storage. Hope we get to see at 6GB + 128GB combination in the next-generation Moto X phone later this year.

The Moto X4 6GB edition performs just as solidly as the 4GB version, and Android Oreo adds some nice polish to an already smooth UI. However, we’re not entirely convinced by the premium that Lenovo is charging for just a little more RAM. Ideally, we would have liked a storage bump as well, and that would have made this offering hard to beat at its current price. Android Oreo is a worthy addition but this is something that will be rolling out to the 3GB and 4GB variants too. Oppo offers the 6GB RAM version of the Oppo F5 (Review) at Rs. 24,990, which is a good pick if you’re looking for better cameras and a wider display.

But do note that these features will be a standard across all Moto phones this year and especially the upcoming Moto G6 that is slated to launch at MWC 2018, which will be much cheaper than the Rs 24,999 price tag the Moto X4 (6GB) carries.

The mid-range is increasingly competitive, and though it’s sharply priced at $599, there is a bit of competition around that price-point which makes the Moto X4 a bit hard to declare a clear must-buy. It is worth noting, though, that it’s one of exceptionally few devices (perhaps as few as two) that come with IP68 water resistance at this price point.

Motorola’s traditionally done a pretty good job of giving us fun, unique devices – even as they’ve transitioned to new ownership under Google, and subsequently Lenovo. The Moto X4 is no exception. It may lack a 18:9 display or a “bezel-less” design, but this feels less significant on the Moto X4 – not just because it’s an affordable mid-range phone, but also because its Moto styling gives it character of its own. At the end of the day, what we have here is a phone that won't break any performance benchmark records, yet stands out with its solid build quality, cool appearance, decent camera, and water-resistant construction. At the price points the Moto X4 can be currently bought, we’re hard-pressed to find many devices we like more.

70% Moto X4 review: The 'can do better' phone
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
The Moto X4 is a phone that won't have you complaining over anything except maybe the camera. However, the albatross around its neck is the price. In and around the Rs 20,000 price bracket, competition is really intense with brands offering something unique. With Moto X4, you get what you expect from a Motorola device - reliability and strong performance. It does lack the X factor - a feature that could have made into a must-buy. For instance, the Oppo F5 can stake a claim for the best selfie camera around. Moto X4 has all the right specifications, looks good, delivers sound performance - even though the camera could've been better - and wouldn't disappoint you. Moto X4 joins the long list of Motorola devices which will gain its steady set of followers over time. Because as we have learnt that's something most Motorola smartphones have managed to do and the Moto X4 will definitely follow suit.

And since Motos don't live in isolation, the X4 offers enough goodies to lure in customers from outside. No one other than LG puts an ultra-wide angle cam on a phone, and affordable as the G6 may be, the X4 can still be had for less. In the midrange, the X4 has one of the best chipsets all-round, a display that makes no excuses, and battery life that won't leave you stranded mid-day. Add some functional software, weather sealing and a design with just the right amount of flair and you have one hell of a case for 'average'.

80% Motorola Moto X4 review: Is this the mid-end smartphone to beat?
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
Moto X4 is impressive for a mid-range device. The phone excels on many fronts, be it on looks, performance, IP68 water-resistance and battery. Although the camera may not be comparable to the competition, it still works for me. And thanks to its clean stock Android interface, Moto X4 has won another brownie point. For Rs 22,999 (4GB RAM + 64GB storage), it’s a good option for those looking for a phone that’s affordable and perform far better than other devices in its class.

We’re quite happy with what Lenovo has done with the Moto X4. It looks and feels great, and has plenty of useful features such as the Moto suite of gestures, and proper waterproofing. Between this and the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) (Review), we’d recommend the Moto X4 as it does have a slightly better camera, even though the X4's camera itself isn't great. The main sensor isn’t that bad and the wide-angle lens has its uses, but the sluggish HDR, slow focus speeds in video and ineffective bokeh mode left us wanting more.

The Moto X4 is a great smartphone let down by its cameras, which are underwhelming to say the least. Moving beyond the sub-par cameras there is a lot to love - the Moto X4 is gorgeous as well as refreshingly compact, the software is fluid and clean, it is water resistant, performance is snappy and the display is crisp. If only the cameras lived up to the rest of the phone.

The mid-range market is growing as we see flagships in the $1,000 price range. Motorola has a few products available in this $300 to $500 range and while I have always been a fan of the Moto X line, I would probably look to the Moto G5S Plus before I picked the Moto X4. The Moto X4 does have USB Type C and NFC though so if those are important to you, then the X4 may be the better choice.

Google truly wants to convince you to purchase the Moto X4 on Project Fi. If you’re not enticed by the offer of unlimited photo backup to Google Photos, constant and consistent software updates, or Android as Google meant it to be, then consider that overall the X4 is just a fantastic deal. For $400, you get a device that’s cool-looking and compact enough to fit into any pocket. It has a bright, Full HD display, a headphone jack, and a processor that’s capable of playing your mobile games. It also offers a camera that shoots photos you’ll want to keep, and you won’t often find that kind of ability at this price point. The Moto X4 on Project Fi is a great choice for anyone who just wants to keep it simple and doesn’t mind the Google way of doing things.

On the features side, the key highlight is the dual-camera with a secondary 8 mega-pixel wide angle (120 degrees) camera, which is great to shoot landscapes while travelling or perform nice Bokeh effect.

Motorola Moto X4 Quick Review: Gorgeous Dual-cam Mid-ranger
Source: Unbox English Archive.org version
Motorola took the wraps off of their new mid-range, dual-camera smartphone here in IFA, Berlin yesterday. The Moto X4 is the second dual-camera offering of the brand, with the first being the high-end Moto Z2 Force announced in the US a few months ago. Despite Motorola’s focus on their MotoMod system of modular accessories, the Moto X4 doesn’t utilize that particular eco-system, which meant the company had a free hand in making the device look quite different compared to its older brothers.

We’re looking forward to spending more time with the X4 to offer our full verdict, but our overall first impressions are certainly positive and we think this could be a popular option for smartphone buyers that aren’t happy with the budget offerings available but can’t reach the hefty price tags of the current flagships.

Moto X4 First Impressions

On the software side, Moto is boasting of Alexa integration in addition to Google Assistant. There are also a few added conveniences such as the ability to take a screenshot by tapping the screen with three fingers rather than fiddling with the side buttons, and an integrated password manager.

That’s all in theory, of course - I’ll have to wait until a full review to see if the Moto X can return as a mid-range champ, or if it’s more of a mid-range chump.

Motorola Moto X4 hands-on
Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
Although the X4 doesn’t sit neatly in Motorola’s established E, G, Z smartphone lines, it feels like a decent mid-range handset. Outside of some bugs with its pre-release camera app, I struggled to find any significant shortcomings with the phone; its lack of support for Moto Mods, maybe – although, being honest, I’ve never been completely sold on these so can’t see the omission being a real sticking point for the majority of buyers. Hopefully, the X4’ll make good on its opening promise when it’s released in September.

The Moto X4 will be available in Europe in September for 399 euros. That would put it at about $475 in the US, which is a bit less than what's you'll pay for the Moto Z2 Play. We don't have US pricing or availability information yet, but the phone is expected to launch in the fall. Check back then for a full review.

Motorola Moto X4 hands-on review
Source: GSM Arena English Archive.org version
Overall, it's not exactly a boardroom-friendly device, so all in good taste, we guess. Besides the misplaced microphone, there is not much else to complain about on the front of the device. In fact, the 5.2-inch, 1080p display looks really sharp at 424ppi. AMOLED would have been a nice touch, but an IPS LCD still fits the mid-ranger bill perfectly.

The only downfall is the built-in camera could do with being better and they could do with moving the fingerprint scanner or simply add face recognition to avoid unlocking it in future.

The Moto Z3 play is a fascinating device, I honestly can’t decide if it’s a slightly underpowered and under-priced high end device or if it’s an over-priced mid range. Regardless of how you decide to classify it, there’s a lot to like about it.

The Moto Z3 Play joins an overcrowded lineup, and its price is too high for consideration. That’s a shame because, competition aside, the Moto Z3 Play is a good phone. It’s just not the one you should buy. Go with the OnePlus 6, and enjoy a premium phone for less than $600.

The Moto Z3 Play brings the series up to date thanks to an 18:9 aspect ratio display, but this model stands in the shadow of the Z3 proper - which is not only more powerful but cheaper - and can't hold its weight against other flagship leaders of the moment. Mods may have had their moment...

Moto Z3 Play review: Third time, but no more charm
Source: Talk Android English Archive.org version
As it stands, the Moto Z3 Play is a flagship wannabe that struggles to stand on its own against the bigger Moto Z phones and competitors like the OnePlus 6. If you’re really into the Moto Mods there’s no alternative, but for anyone else, it’s tough to truly recommend it over devices on the market. There’s just no killer Moto Mod after all these years that can pull people in, and $499 is still too high for an impulse purchase for most people.

Moto Z3 Play Review: Have Mods, Will Travel
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
This all leads into our final verdict on the Moto Z3 Play. It is incredibly easy to be disappointed with Moto for gimping battery life, and it would not be unjustified. The fact of the matter is, the new Z3 Play no longer has the same target market that embraced the Z Play series back in the day.

Listen, there will always be some people that need flagship phones. But many average users don’t want to spend that much money. This is where the moto Z3 Play fits. It doesn’t have flagship specs but it can easily fill the needs of the average user. It does come with its problems though. The power button on the left is annoying. The camera isn’t the best but it’s good enough. But the price point is going to make this a must look for many buyers.

Source: The Verge English Archive.org version
The Moto Z3 Play feels like a baseball team slogging through the last couple of months of play, knowing that they need to finish the season but also knowing they won’t end it with a trophy in hand. Motorola committed to supporting the design of its 2016 Moto Mods for three generations of phones, and the Z3 Play is that third-generation phone, riding out its contract. But for the rest of us, it’s a ride better left skipped.

The Moto Z line has traditionally proven itself as being one of the best in the mid-range category, striking a balance between performance and price. With the Moto Z3 Play, it introduces a few new things into the mix that we haven’t seen before in the line – like the 18:9 display and dual-cameras. We’re especially blown away by the camera’s performance, which rivals even some of the best flagships out there!

Moto Z3 Play review: The value is still in the Moto Mods
Source: Android Authority English Archive.org version
The Moto Z3 Play is priced at $499 unlocked in the U.S., which is fair for what you get, but not the greatest value. As a comparison, the OnePlus 6 costs only $30 more and gives you high-end specifications, a better camera, and a headphone jack. When judging the phone on its own merits the Z3 Play is a great midrange offering, but unless you highly value Moto Mods and Motorola’s software suite it’s probably not worth the money.

Maybe? Like I said, the Moto Z3 Play is a solid phone. It’s designed well, has good battery life, great software, a nice display, and works with Moto Mods. On the flip side, its camera is not that great at all and the price is arguably a touch high when you know that Motorola has another phone (Moto G6 Plus) you’d buy over this if it was sold in the US.

Motorola Moto E5

The Motorola Moto E5 is a budget smartphone which still offers amazing features. Featuring all-day battery life, and a 5.7” Max Vision display, the Motorola Moto E5 is all engineered to fit in a slim design that looks as good as it feels. With an arched back and a rounded glass front, the compact design is so comfortable to use with just one hand it’ll make a user smile. It’s easy on the eyes, too. Aerial lines are hidden away for a smart, clean look. A water-repellent design safeguards the phone inside and out. So, don’t worry about accidental spills and splashes. The Moto E5 measures at 154.4 × 72.2 × 8.95 mm and weighs at 174 g. It only comes with one color option, which is gray. The 8 MP camera gives autofocus. It focuses in the blink of an eye and captures bright, clear photos, even in low light conditions. Besides that, a user can touch the fingerprint reader just below the camera to wake up and unlock the phone instantly, and lock it again when done. It’s discreetly located within the phone’s iconic logo, so users hardly know it’s there until they use it. With the front-ported speaker, you can hear conference calls and favorite music and movies perfectly, even when the phone is lying on its back. As for the display, a user can enjoy a 5.7" Max Vision display panel, which can be comfortably used with just one hand. The Moto E5 has an IPS LCD screen with an 18:9 aspect ratio and HD+ resolution of 720 x 1.440 pixels. Users can also do less scrolling on websites, get a crazy-wide landscape view of games and even multitask effortlessly on a split screen. The display is vivid and colorful. As for hardware specifications, the Moto E5 features the Snapdragon 425 and 2 GB of RAM. This entry-level specification is capable of running apps but lacks memory to run multiple apps smoothly. Users can add up to 128 GB more photos, songs, and movies thanks to a dedicated microSD card slot. With a relatively big 4000 mAh battery, users get up to a day of battery life. And when it’s time to power up, the 10W rapid charger gives a quick burst of power when the user needs it most. Conclusively, the Motorola Moto E5 is a well-made and well-thought smartphone at a tight budget. It is suitable for users on a budget and does not run many resources demanding apps. It is a perfect entry-level smartphone for students or the elderly. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

The Motorola Moto E5 offers a large screen and large battery at a small price. However, for about 130 Euros (~$149; usually $100 in the US, currently on sale for $70) you can also get some good deals from other manufacturers. We find out in our test whether the Moto E5 is able to stand out.
Motorola Moto e5 range, First Take: A tale of three budget handsets

We have two key observations from this tale of three handsets, the first of which is that it's very difficult to deliver an effective smartphone for under £100. The £89 Moto e5 Play is likely to leave purchasers hankering for more fairly quickly.

Motorola Moto E5 Plus

The Motorola Moto E5 Plus is a mid-range budget smartphone featuring a 1.5-day battery, a 6-inch Max Vision display, and a 12 MP camera with laser autofocus, all engineered to fit in a slim design. With a huge 5,000 mAh battery, a user gets up to 1.5 days of battery life. In the hands of a lower demand user, it could potentially last 2 days. And when it’s time to power up, the turbopower charger gives up to 6 hours of battery life in just 15 minutes of charging. The Moto E5 Plus has an interesting design. Designed with a reflective wave pattern and an arched back for a look as great as it feels. On the front, the rounded corner glass panel provides smooth edges, and in the back, the aerial is hidden away. Besides that, it has a water-repellent design that safeguards the phone inside and out. So, a user doesn’t have worry about accidental spills and splashes. The phone measures at 161.9 x 75.3 x 9.35 mm and weighs at 200 g, which is heavier than many other phones. The Motorola Moto E5 Plus runs Android 8.0.0. It has a light custom interface that looks almost stock. There are a few Moto extras, such as the Moto Display. Moto Display appears when the Moto E5 Plus is in standby. It shows the time, the battery charge level and notifications. The speaker of the Moto E5 Plus is a front-ported speaker, so user can hear conference calls and favorite music and movies perfectly, even when the phone’s lying on its back. As for the camera, it has a 12 MP rear camera which focuses in an instant with laser autofocus technology and lets in more light with large, 1.25 μm pixels. At the lower price point, the E5 Plus camera is great even though it is not as good as the cameras on flagship phones. There’s an Auto HDR mode that improves dynamic range in scenes with high light contrast which is an advantage. Turn it around and the 8 MP selfie camera snaps in superb lighting with the dedicated front flash. For hardware specifications, the Moto E5 Plus is powered by a Snapdragon 435 octa-core chipset and 3 GB of RAM. The Moto E5 Plus definitely does not compete with flagship phones, it features mid-range specifications for a lower price point. However, it is enough for most users, especially paired with very light, near to stock experience operating system. It should run most applications with no issues. As a conclusion, the Moto E5 Plus is definitely a good phone to get if a user is looking for a phone with long battery life on a lower budget. It features decent hardware, camera, and design which can satisfy most users, both in and out. It is good for users who use their smartphone heavily on the go.

A short battery life is one of the biggest annoyances in a smartphone, but the Moto E5 Plus tackles this head-on. The phone has a large chassis to accommodate the generous screen, and Motorola has sensibly filled the extra space with battery power. It’s paid off, too: the E5 Plus outlasts almost every other currently available phone we’ve tested, except for one that’s significantly more expensive. With a decent screen and a good camera to boot, the larger-sized Moto E5 Plus is a bargain and well worth considering if you’re looking for an affordable smartphone with features that rival the big names.

While the moto E5 Plus excels in its unique design, massive battery, and big display, its current pricing pits it against similarly-priced phones with better specs. One of its biggest rivals is ASUS’ ZenFone Max Pro M1: with the same price, same stock Android build, and same 5000mAh battery, the ZenFone Max Pro M1 has a higher resolution display, a better processor, and a dual rear camera setup, and a better front camera. Not to mention, there are other similarly-priced phones that have a guarantee update to Android Pie. These include Xiaomi’s Mi A1 and Mi A2 Lite—both are priced a hair under Php10k and have better specs than the moto E5 Plus on paper.

The moto E5 Plus is priced at Php 9,999. While it is a thousand bucks more expensive than last year’s moto E4 Plus, the price hike is pretty justified by upgrades such as an octa-core processor, bigger display, more RAM, and laser autofocus, while swapping last year’s metal build for acrylic.

Motorola's lack of control over this launch means people will be paying anywhere from $40 to $288 for these phones, which makes it very difficult to provide a simple recommendation. If you're going to buy one of these devices, I recommend the Moto E5 Play, but I wouldn't pay more than $60 or $70 for it. If you have a budget of around $200, you should instead consider a better budget phone like the Moto G6 Play or a refurbished phone.

The Motorola Moto E5 Plus is a hefty Sprint phablet with a massive 5,000mAh battery that can keep it going for days, but it's too expensive for the specs it offers.

Buy the Moto E5 Plus if you're looking for a budget phone on Cricket. Otherwise, skip it in favor of a slightly pricier Moto G6 Play or Moto G6.

70% Moto E5 Plus Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
The Moto E5 Plus delivers on the promise of exceptional battery life and has a design that imitates its higher-priced siblings. The software is well optimised and is quite close to stock Android. However, it does little to stand out in a segment dominated by heavyweights such as the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 (Review), Redmi Note 5 (Review), and Realme 1 (Review). The cameras are sub-standard, performance is just about okay, and the display is nothing to write home about. The lack of iconic Moto actions such as the double-twist, which have become well associated with Motorola phones, further reduces the smartphone's appeal.

80% Moto e5 Plus Review – Big Battery for a Bigger Price
Source: Tech PP English Archive.org version
The moto e5 plus will be sold in India in just one variant, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, at a price of Rs. 11,999, which puts it right in competition with Motorola’s own Moto G6 which comes with a superior chipset, a dual camera set up, as well as a full HD display, but a smaller battery and a sleeker design. The other competitor is the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 which also comes with a 5000mAh battery and has a way better chipset in the form of the Snapdragon 636 and also comes with dual cameras to the back and a full HD display. But then, Motorola is banking on its seemingly superior brand value and taking the Moto E series to the next level. Do let us know if you wish to get the moto e5 plus over other smartphones in this segment, and if you too wish that moto went back to its roots of providing value for money smartphones.

The Moto E5 Plus scores good marks for performance and battery, but limited purchasing options pit it against Motorola’s other budget contenders. Despite having a bigger screen, it lacks the increased resolution, upgraded processing power, and premium-feeling design of the Moto G6, and those prevent it from being the budget champion it was bred to be.

Moto E5 Play and E5 Plus Review
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
As for the E5 Plus, it's a bit of a tougher sell. It is priced at $180 on Cricket and $288 on Sprint, and within this price range you have alternatives from Nokia – the 6 and 6.1 namely. There's also Moto's own G6. All of these offer similarly clean Android experiences, better looks, and potentially better cameras. The only solid reason for picking the E5 Plus instead is its long battery life. Lastly, we can’t forget the still formidable iPhone SE selling for less money than the E5 Plus too – if size and OS is no matter to you, of course.

73.1% Motorola Moto E5 Play Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
In recent years, Motorola's E-series smartphones were usually less than or around $150 and more often than not well worth their money. Let's find out whether or not this is still the case with the company's latest effort, the Motorola E5 Play.

Compromises are inevitable with any phone below £100, but the Moto E5 Play is difficult to recommend when the regular E5 will give you a metal body, more RAM, better cameras, and a bigger battery and display - all for just £30 more.

Regardless of where you buy it, the Moto E5 Play makes for a solid all-around value. It’s everything you need in a device (web, social media, email, and messaging) with just a little bit left over.There’s nothing overly sexy about the phone but we appreciate having the 3.5mm headphone jack, fingerprint sensor, and microSD card. It runs a very modern version of Android and the custom Motorola touches are essentially opt-in. We might like to remove some of the Verizon branded stuff but that ought not reflect on what Motorola’s done here.

Compared to the phones that normally fill news headlines and grab our attention year-round, the Moto E5 Play is pretty middling. Performance is so-so, the camera could use some serious improvements, and there’s no single standout feature that really sells the phone on its own.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

Motorola: Founded in 1928, the US-based company mainly focuses on communication technology such as smartphones. The original company Motorola Inc was split up in 2011. Motorola Mobility got the smartphone division and was taken over by Google in 2012 and Lenovo in 2014.

The company is known for its cell phones and other electronic devices such as smartwatches, tablets and accessories. Motorola was one of the first companies to produce cell phones, and in recent years has also innovated in the areas of 5G technology and modular smartphones (Moto Mods). Motorola is also active in public safety and professional communications, providing solutions for government agencies, businesses and other organizations. The company has operations in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America and employs more than 10,000 people worldwide.
