The Motorola Moto X Play Showing

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.
An even more accurate way of describing the handset would be as a budget alternative to the Moto X Style, than anything else. At 5.5 inches, it is the ideal vanilla Android phablet, if you want a straight-forward experience, minus a few 2016 bells and whistles.

A mid-ranger on paper, thanks to its clean Android approach, the Motorola Moto X Play definitely punches above its weight and promises a real premium treat, without breaking the bank.

Design and build quality

The Moto X Play takes a definitively traditional approach to design and materials. It is plastic all around, but unlike many other mid-rangers, which endeavor to conceal their identity and imitate a glass or metal finish, the Moto X Play, proudly displays its rounded plastic frame, detachable back ant glossy front panel, all clearly distinguishable - traditional or outdated, you be the judge.

Weight: 169g What's this?

Thickness: 10.9 mm What's this?

The Moto X play is also a fairly sizable device. It measures 148 x 75 x 10.9mm, which makes it one of the thickest smartphones of late. However, its economical curves, grippy shapes and balanced weight distribution make for one truly comfortable device to hold, despite its chubby appearance.
In keeping with the design, controls are pretty standard as well, almost formalist. The left side is empty and the volume rockers and power are the only buttons on the right. The SIM slot is on the top of the device, which is odd, considering the back plate is, in fact removable. While good for quick customization, the latter does allow of water and dust to penetrate closer to the battery. Still, that shouldn't be a problem, as Motorola have certified the device as having a water-repellent nano-coating (IP52 certified ).
