Moto X Style (Pure Edition)

Year 2015 is hardly in the last period and a few more Android flagships are scheduled to come out but this early the Moto X 2015 is all but secured on its spot as the best smartphone to come out this year.

To be sure, the third-gen Moto X is not the prettiest and the mightiest device around but it has the key features to deliver a satisfactory overall performance that can best the best out there. Four of which are provided below:

Powerful and capable

Headlined by a 5.7-inch Quad HD display in 2560 x 1440 screen resolution and hexa-core Snapdragon 808 chip with 3GB of RAM, the new Moto X boasts of power indeed but not in the most extreme of zones. The device will pale in comparison when pitted against the likes of Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5 or if rumors will prove correct that the Google Nexus 2015 will run on Snapdragon 820 with 4GB of RAM, the Moto X 2015 will eat dust.

But in the real-world function, the Moto X is more than enough. It can surely handle almost anything - marathon use and intense gaming or even rough handling, which are the things that really matter to users. One can list what a premium smartphone needs to do to qualify as such and the Moto X 2015 will surely deliver.

Turbo charging and impressive camera

The new generation corrects the mistakes of the past and that is exactly what the Moto X 2015 is all about - better battery and power features plus camera capabilities unseen in the past two versions. Out of the box, the Moto X rocks a 3000mAh battery that when being juiced up with the 25w TurboCharger can fully power up in about 30 minutes. This is mainly due to Qualcomm's quick charging technology.

And the Moto X 2015 camera is no longer the pushover of the past. Motorola insists that its flagship now packs one of the best camera systems around and the experts agree. The Verge said that it has seen one of the best imaging equipment in the new Moto X.

Affordable flagship with personal touch

With the Moto X 2015, Motorola is on top of its game but not asking too much for users to enjoy the flagship that they deserve. Starting price of the Moto X Pure Edition is $399 and buyers get to take home a 16GB unit that can be expanded up to 128GB of extra memory. Practically, the Moto X 2015 is the cheapest flagship smartphone around that unlikely will not be matched even by any of the Google Nexus 2015 models.

And with the new Moto X, personalization remains in the play. Thanks to Moto Maker, Moto X fans can customize the flagship of their choice to their liking and the options available are nearly unlimited.

Pure Android flavor

And the best reason to go for the Moto X 2015 is the operating system - the Android within is pure, vanilla, stock and native. Raw the software is, which also means that patches and updates will come without delay.

Motorola is unpacking the Moto X 2015 on September 3 with the latest Android Lollipop version but the flagship should quickly jump to Android 6.0 Marshmallow shortly after the OS release date, likely to start happening in late September 2015.
