I'm fairly sure the Verizon version (Turbo 2 name has already been registered) will be the one to get. It will likely be like the Play, but better cpu, wireless charging, likely qhd screen.

Only downsides are it will be a Verizon exclusive, and no unlocked bootloader.
[X Play General] inkmars:
I was reading somewhere that Motorola might want to make the X Play as the EU "version" of Droid Turbo.

[X Play General] Mafiatounes:
I will get the Moto X Play when released looks very decent! Would have been better if it had Wifi AC (Just installed a Netgear R7000 at home) but it will suffice for my needs. Will sell my Galaxy S6 before purchase. Have been looking towards chinaphones as well LEtv Le 1, Meizu Mx5 and the newly announced Sony M5 also still can't make a definitive decision can anyone help/point me in a good direction.

I mainly use the rear cam would love decent low light pics, browsing, feedly, youtube and some gaming, with minimal call and whatsapp.

Dual 4G/4G ?

Hi all,

Do you know if the moto x play is a 4G/4G dual sim?

Regards

[X Play General] srltzz342:
You're selling your S6 to get a Motorola? I feel like that might be a downgrade...
[X Play General] -Zeppelin-:
Why?

Stock Android, better battery life, no freakin hardware button, 5,5"... That are all positive aspects I could see for him...
[X Play General] Mafiatounes:
And best of all no shizwiz, jokes apart i had a Moto G gen 1 (2y ago) and really liked it, with a stock mid range system the experience is smoother, unlike the top end hardware of the S6 that works so hard and feels sluggish
[X Play General] -Zeppelin-:
That's what 99% of the manufactorers don't get and stick to there UIs, which are all much to heavy on the hardware...

I need a new phone for my girlfriend. She had a moto g 2013, and I want to buy the moto x play..but..in Spain it costs 395 euros. I think it´s a little expensive for a midrange. So i´m considering the new xiaomi redmi note 2 with the mediatek helio x10 and only 140 euros, what do you think guys? I don´t know what to do.
[X Play General] Skyerin:

[X Play General] force70:
The two things the play has that i like over the style are the 1080p screen and much larger battery . Those 2 combined will probably kill the style on battery life.

Dont like:

Smaller screen

No dual speakers mono only

Its not as visually appealing

Mid range processor

2gb only of ram

The small screen and lack of stereo speakers are deal breakers for me. The other stuff i could probably live with.

[X Play General] eXelero:
thanks for that! for my scenarios, the SD615 will do just fine (web browsing, social media, taking photos/editing, call/sms). can't wait for it to arrive, just (pre)ordered it yesterday on a german site :D
[X Play General] Flipz77:
What I really find puzzling is the LCD screen. Why throw away the advantage of amoled in handling the active display? If it turns out to be well thought about (e.g. a mode in which the screen only turns on upon sensor activity instead of being continuously lit to display notifications) I'll be buying the play.
[X Play General] Galinha1:
Yeah it's a puzzler why they went LCD, but i was reading about, and i my conclusion was, LCD today are having better power management then before, and when in use they tend to consume less than most Amoled displays, and for the active display the brightness used is very minimal , still uses more energy than lcd for that, but LCD are much cheaper those days, and can achieve good levels of brightness , i know there is oled display now capable of great levels of brightness but they aren't cheap . My conclusion, is that with that extra battery size, will be nicer using the LCD Moto X vs the Oled in current moto X , and active notification will work just as fine as it was. Maybe at a very dark room we might see a little grey background, no biggie. Just ordered my Moto X play, i'll tell next week how it behaves.
[X Play General] Flipz77:
You've been brave to order the thing :D

I think the key factor, which I haven't been able to make out from articles and videos so far, is whether they've equipped the Play with all the sensor magic from the "proper" X line. If they haven't, we'll have to cope with a quasi-perfect device that lacks in a department so basic (notifications!). I wouldn't want that, even with that tempting battery :p

Anyway, we'll see, thanks for the insight!
[X Play General] eXelero:
I will compensate with all notifications being bumped over to my pebble time, too :)
[X Play General] Mafiatounes:
After all i think i will be going for a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 with 32 gigs?, it just seems better than the Play spec wise/price and has Wifi AC which is a must for me i dont want devices slowing my internet connection.
[X Play General] Flipz77:
I respect your preference, but it's funny how people choose specs and price over optimisation and support, only to reappear months later complaining that their user experience sucks, that they get no updates and that the development scene is a disaster.
[X Play General] Mafiatounes:
To be honest xiaomi which is based on android/miui usually gets weekly updates, i picked the phone because it suits all my criteria (regular updates, the specs i need and the price is just a cherry on top?). Don't judge too soon because i'm coming from an S6 high end price with a terrible dev scene (because of the closed Exynos sources) and a update once in a while, i also had an S5,G3,Lumia 930,1520 etc. I know Xiaomi is a new kid on the block but their support is quitte good (i investigate always before buying). I dont think the play is a bad device i wanted it before the Redmi announcement blew me away the whole package offered for that price is simply unseen! The Play, Sony M5 etc. suddenly seemed overpriced to me and a lot more people. Just wanted to clarify why i went the Xiaomi way?
[X Play General] Flipz77:
In fact I wasn't bashing xiaomi at all, I was just observing the general android OEM situation in which everyone runs to the hardware while software literally lags behind, with few sweet exceptions (nexus, moto, the ones we know)

That being said I'm not here to question individual decisions at all as everyone is free to buy what he/she likes ;)

[X Play General] Entropy512:
Given that the old S4 Pro (APQ8064 - predecessor to the 600, which was an 8064T) - pretty much the 600 is to the S4 Pro as the 801 is to the 800 is more than sufficient for nearly everything, the 615 should be quite capable. Especially since anything with Cortex-A57 cores is going to have thermal throttling issues.

Sadly I live in the USA so it seems like I won't be able to get the Play (I don't do greymarket imports). :( It really looked to me like it was the best device out this year. (I won't be touching any 810-based handsets.)
[X Play General] Geordie Affy:
In US they will release it as a Droid Turbo 2. Although I think the last one was only locked to Verizon. I'm from the UK so not too sure tbh but I'm sure thats what I read.

[X Play General] enigma4321:
If it helps the decision here I am LOVING my X play. Had it since yesterday and very impressed with the battery life and the camera is a good step up from past motos
[X Play General] Wutang200:
I'm sticking to my Moto X 2014. Below issues make the Play a mid range device for me and a deal breaker as I'm not gonna trade my high end phone for a mid range phone!

-Build quality isn't on the same level as the X 2014 or the Style

-The size of the phone makes this more of a phablet than a smartphone (5.2" is the sweet spot for me)

-No iR Sensors

-SD 615 is pretty much similar real world performance to the X 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs2Q0-z1XVU)

-No 802.11ac WiFi

-No real customization like the X 2014 and Style (apart from changeable back covers like the Nokias)

-Heavy

-No 4k video recording

-No OIS (they should have included it in the Play!)

-No dual speakers so not an upgrade in audio from the current gen X 2014

-Not as compact as the X 2014
[X Play General] thegregulator:
Fair. It was worth it to me just for the camera and battery life. Battery like on the 2014 Moto X was horrific, and the camera was almost as bad. If the X Play was priced around $600 I wouldn't have bothered, but at its price point it's tough to beat.
[X Play General] inkmars:
How are you Play lovers doing? How's the phone in general compared with past Motos?
[X Play General] motofanz:
Antenna

Does the Play or Style have Dynamic Antenna Tuning (as featured on the X 2014)?

I can deal with lack of AMOLED and IR sensors but the Play seems to be a step down from the 2014 X.
[X Play General] Davirus849:
So far, this is the slowest moto x I have used. Even the Moto X 2013 feels faster than the X Play.

Changing the resolution to 720 actually makes the X Play a lot faster, but I'm sure Motorola can fix this.

[X Play General] squid2:
I have a bunch of phones, including the 2013 X, 2014 X, and 2015 X Play. The 2014 X is indeed faster, both in benchmarks and in everyday usage.

Its multicore CPU performance is similar to the X Play, but it's nearly twice as fast in single core performance. The Krait does around 40% more per clock cycle than the Cortex A53, and 2.5 GHz > 1.7 GHz, so it's to be expected. In terms of the GPU, the Adreno 330 in the MSM8974AC of the 2014 X is approximately 3 times more powerful than the Adreno 405 in this device's MSM8939. So there's no question that the 2014 X is more powerful.

In terms of size, quality, and in-hand feel, I also prefer the 2014 X. Its metal frame feels much nicer, and the 5.2" screen is more hand and pocket friendly than the 5.5" screen of this device. The AMOLED's ability to show darker blacks and display pulsing Moto display notifications without wasting battery is also nice. I also miss IR hand waving thing, I found it handy, though I'm faking with the proximity sensor in CyanogenMod.

The 2015 Moto X Play is not intended to be a step up from the previous model, but rather be a midrange model. The X Style was meant to be the successor to the 2014 X, and is actually priced lower than the previous X in the USA. The X Play is another notch below that in terms of pricing. However, due to crappy exchange rates and economic issues here in Canada, the price of the X Play is not much lower than the previous X.

With that said, I don't consider the X Play to be a bad device. The big battery is great indeed - the 2014 X would only last me a day and a half, while the X Play lasts nearly 4 days with my usage patterns. The camera is also a huge upgrade from the previous model. Not only are there more pixels - the Sony IMX230 camera sensor is truly a big improvement over the IMX135 in the 2014 X.

I haven't had any significant lag issues either. Some people here seem to complain about lag on every device no matter how powerful it is. Animations are usually smooth and apps start nearly instantly. Sometimes the quick settings drawer sliding animation stutters a bit (as in drops to around 10 FPS), but I don't consider that to be a big deal, and it can probably be fixed with some software optimization. My Moto E (otus) can animate that smoothly with a far weaker GPU and CPU, so it's something that can (and probably will) be improved. If you're coming from the 2014 X, yes you'll see that it's not as smooth, but this is by no means a slow or laggy phone. This business of 8 Cortex A53 cores is rather silly, where the power profile of both the big and little cores is essentially the same, but that doesn't really affect user experience apart from slightly reducing battery life, and it can be improved with CPU hotplug in a custom kernel.

So to summarize:

The 2014 X has a faster CPU and nicer in hand feel, but it was meant to be a higher end device than this.

The 2015 X Play has a great battery and camera, decent CPU, and decent price to performance ratio, though it's a mid range device.
[X Play General] dictionary:
Bahahahahaha, this is EXACTLY how I feel, but was too lazy to type it all up. I wish I could crack open my 2014 X and transmute the X Play battery inside. Or just a bigger battery in general. I can live with the camera. The battery is the only thing that breaks my heart with that device. It lacks for nothing else in my eyes. Screen size is perfect. Feel and quality also topnotch.
[X Play General] Tim3tripp3r:
[MENTION=6485916]squid2[/MENTION] Thanks for your thoughtful post and comparison to previous X models.

I got exactly what I paid for IMO with my Moto X Play - a mid range phone that has a nice screen, good camera & great battery life.

p.s. I don't have lag issues either.
[X Play General] dicecuber:
Again, you are one of the minority
[X Play General] Mooseh:
No lag here either...runs everything I want it to, and the battery easily lasts me 2 days (medium usage). Can't ask for anything more from a mid-ranged device.

The ONLY problem I have is those loose volume and power button, it's slowly starting to annoy me less and less though.

PS: Was reading around to see how many were actually effected by this "lag". A lot of the lag posts I see seem to be from the first few weeks of the devices launch (then users just keeping the "it's lagging" going). Users noting that Google App 5.3 fixed the lag. Maybe why some of us aren't experiencing it. Google app 5.3 was released around 22nd of sep, didn't pick mine up until 29th sep, way after that update had rolled out.

[Verizon LG G4] dougmod:
has anyone been able to setup google voice to handle voicemail on their verizon LG G4? I tried setting it up but it could not configure and I poked around online and found a thread on the verizon forums where people were talking about the same issues.
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
You have to call and have Verizon activate it. I use it all the time with Verizon and my G4. I used it on my LG G2 also. It is not something that just works out of the box. It is a (paid?) feature.

I know because when I switched from the G2 to the G4, my Visual VM app wasn't working. I had to call Verizon and have them reactivate it before the app would start working.
[Verizon LG G4] dougmod:
so i would just tell them i want to use google voice as my VM provider instead of them?
[Verizon LG G4] spotmark:
You don't have to call Verizon at all. Simply dial the forwarding numbers.

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/2Zgc2AjG9Pw

Usually just the *71 plus your Google Voice number is all you have to do.
[Verizon LG G4] dougmod:
isnt this actually forwarding the call to my GV number rather than using my verizon number and setting up google voice as the VM service?
[Verizon LG G4] spotmark:
That's how you set it up. After your phone rings enough times, it will swap over to your Google Voice for voicemail. In your Google Voice settings just have it set to not do anything regarding calls.
[Verizon LG G4] dougmod:
so if i have my gv number ringing on my phone now, this method will not work, as it would ring twice right?
[Verizon LG G4] JeffXT:
I have Google Voice voicemail fully set up. Confirmed working in Hangouts.

Follow the instructions and make sure you expand the section specifically for Verizon subscribers. When you dial each of the three numbers, you'll get a confirmation window on your phone about call forwarding.

As an added bonus, I disabled the visual voicemail app (VVM.apk) using the debloater tool. This way, I don't have to deal with visual voicemail , the standard VZW voicemail, or OTA updates ever again.
[Verizon LG G4] bsweetness:
Google Voice is working completely for me as well and has been since I received my G4. If you follow the directions that have been posted several times, you'll set it up without issue.

One additional thing I will note is that Google Voice and VoLTE (Advanced Calling) on Verizon don't always play well together. If you're experiencing problems getting Google Voice to stick as your voicemail, turn Advanced Calling off and try setting it up again.

I had success following one of the topics under the Wizard section and actually got it to work, however, it was not really worth the time nor the effort.
