No need to wait for the Google Nexus 2016 release date as the hunt for a mighty vanilla Android flagship smartphone with affordable sticker price is over. The Motorola-made Moto X Pure Edition is down to just $375 over at B&H Photo and Video but shoppers to take note that the promo deal is on limited run.
Issued last year, the handset also known as Moto X 2015 is practically a Motorola-flavored Nexus 2015 - the operating system is the closest that anyone can get on Pure Android. Everything about the Moto X 2015 is gloriously native Android and more. It also comes with Motorola-only features that Android purists have come to love.
And the hardware specs are nothing short of superlative. The phablet Moto X of last year boasts of a 5.7-inch LCD Touchscreen and everything packed with the device is fired up by the hexa-core Snapdragon 808, which spins at top speed of 1.8GHz.
Ensuring that the phone is snappy and speedy all the time is the generous RAM provision of 3GB while the internal memory specifically offered by the B&H deal is 64GB, which can be expanded thanks to the microSDXC memory card slot.
Camera experts also labelled the Moto X 2015 as among the best smartphone shooters to come out last year as the device camera system is headlined by 21-megapixel on rear and 5-megapixel on front. The main shooter is fully capable of recording 4K clips as found on major flagships like the Apple iPhone 6S and Samsung Galaxy S6.
Any of the three Moto X 2015 variants - black back with black accents, white with gold accents and white with bamboo back - are definitive solid smartphone shooters in Pure Android settings, according to Droid Life, adding that unlike in most flagship promo deals buyers will certainly unbox a Moto X that is shiny and brand new.
B&H actually sells the Moto X Pure Edition at $399.99 a pop, shaving off $100 from the original price tag, but the retailer is generous enough to include a $25 gift card for every purchase, according to BGR. So the whole cash setback only amounts to $375 - in exchange for a kit that has flagship and premium written all over it with Pure Android experience as a welcome bonus.
Grabbing the Moto X 2015 B&H deal now should make one forget about the Google Nexus 2016, the release date of which is not expected until the second half of the year.
