Excellent 1080p LCD display with superb brightness, colors and contrast. ; Impressive 21MP shooter, especially for stills ; Snappy performance on the near-stock Android ROM

In many ways, the Moto X play is a sort of middle ground, a half-step between the Moto G and the Moto X, but with a clear-cut stride towards the higher end of the scale.

Truly all-day battery life ; The best Motorola camera yet ; Solid performance

Questionable value when compared to other Moto phones ; Camera is still poor in low light ; Not waterproof like the Moto G

Once you take the epic battery life into consideration, the X Play starts to make a little more sense. You get a lot of the benefits of Motorola's flagship; you save a little money; and you never need to carry your charger with you again. Even so, I...

Built to last ; With a battery that lasts and lasts ; And a camera to create lasting memories

Performance is not as smooth as it should be ; Speakers, display, and ergonomics are all just okay ; Camera still struggles in low light

Quite sharp. Optical stabilization. Compact. Inexpensive.

Loads of distortion at 18mm. Narrow aperture. Hood not included. Plastic lens mount.

No one is going to accuse the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II of being a great, classic lens that will be praised on Internet forums and sought after for years to come. But it is an excellent starter lens for casual photographers and...

Rigid casing, Customizable, Pleasant surfaces, Splash-water proof, Relatively light, NFC, Many network frequencies, Relatively reliable GPS outdoors, Very high-resolution front-facing camera, Good camera and video pictures, Accurate touchscreen,...

Miracast doesn't always function, No USB OTG, Expansion via Moto sometimes senseless, GPS needs long for signal, Middling call quality, Light bluish cast in display, Less power than equally priced devices, Relatively high waste heat, Poor speaker...

Motorola proves that it is not only OnePlus that can build affordable smartphones that rock the mid-range. The Moto X Play convinces even more particularly in terms of camera and screen.

Great design, excellent battery performance, water-repellant

No gyroscope. Seems to require a reboot after being on for multiple (4+) days. Bit of play in the power and volume buttons

The design, performance, and battery life of the Moto X Play definitely makes this phone from Motorola an affordable option that will meet the needs of most smartphone users and should last at least 2 years before requiring an upgrade.

The AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, whilst offering the same Silent Wave Motor for quick auto-focusing and the same 4-stop vibration reduction system. The new retractable design makes it easier to...

Great value ; Above average battery life ; Motorola software is smart, lightweight ; Removable back cover offers some customization

Only available with 16GB on-board storage (no 32GB or higher options) ; No wireless charging support ; Removable backplate has too much “play” in it ; Far too much Verizon bloatware ; Only ships with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop – not Marshmallow

The DROID Maxx 2 isn’t a flagship, and it’s not going to win any competitions against them. However, it is a very viable mid-range phone that performs right where we’d expect it to. It feels nice, performs well, and lasts at least all day and all night.

The Motorola Moto X Play has surprised us with its all-round excellence. Although it has very much a mid-range look and feel, its sturdy, chunky design is practical and rugged. We can't however get away from its overall size and weight, and this is the...
