Moto x 2013 than 2014 on both I crashed the screen. Than I once again bought an used 2013 (now with a big protection) that I currently use. For me the 2014 model had not really an advantage compare to its predecessor except that the bigger screen was pretty slippery and not comfortable to hold. Okay bamboo back was pretty cool. Hoping for better battery life and finally a useful camera.

What I love about moto is stock Android plus moto display for notifications.

Xperia E3. Geezz, what a difference. Even though Moto X Play isn't a Flagship, from snapdragon 400 to 615 is quite a jump.

Sounds like you have had a lot of bad luck, I've never had to send a phone overseas to get repaired. You shouldn't need to that often, a faulty phone should be rare
[X Play General] DonDizzurp:
That's what I was worried about.

I guess I'll go with the Moto X Style

I came from a Nexus 5. As it was told before, the upgrade in battery life, camera and screen quality is unbelievable. Although there are some choppy animations at the moment, which are just a temporary problem since it will be fixed in the update for sure (friends' Moto Gs work fine, so I assume that we just need to wait since X Play is pretty new phone and software is not ideal yet)
[X Play General] MameTozhio:
Oh thank god I'm not the only one with this issue. I really really do hope a fix comes in an update (maybe in the stagefright update, which I'm supposed to receive on October 12th on TELUS/Koodo)

I'm coming from the Moto E 2015 LTE. I had previously updated the firmware on it to android 5.1 retail US version, however I reverted to my original firmware. I received an update yesterday in the morning... which then proceeded to brick the phone as I had a newer boot loader than what would work. I bought my X Play the same day. Great phone aside from the animation issues (janking).
[X Play General] SergioKravtsov:
It will be just fine. I've got unlocked X Play from Wind, for some reason when you buy it outright from them - it is unlocked right away.
[X Play General] MameTozhio:
Do you mean that it will most likely be fixed in an update? I heard it's an issue with the adreno 405 not being able to handle 1080p screens.

[X Play General] Totemic_tHiRp:
I'm coming from an Samsung Galaxy SIII i9300. My S3 died this week. The screen suddenly doesn't worked anymore and further I discovered this happened due to a motherboard problem. I live in Brazil and US$ is almost R$4. Repair it not worth due the price. So I decided to buy the X Play. Pure Android, awesome battery and etc. Mine is coming next monday.

The main factor of my decision was the pure Android. Honestly, I'm tired of having good roms (such as CM) but ruining my Camera and other things. That's just annoying.
[X Play General] nao80:
Wait for it.......s6 edge 64gb gold platinum. And in all honesty all I miss is the ois stabilisation in camera...and maybe the IR blaster...and maybe....OK. That's really it. The main reasons for switching was the poor battery performance, even with mild use. I liked the sexiness of the edge and the while aesthetics were pleasing, but with a phone so delicately built, you feel the need to cover it with a hard wearing case which defeats the object of having a pretty phone. I've had a moto g 2nd gen as a backup and always loved the simplicity of it and not worrying too much about having a case on it in case I dropped the thing, however again the motos are so easy to take apart, put back together and cheap replacement parts are handy. I would of gone for the new 3rd gen moto g but saw this phone, mucked about with it and tried the camera which even without ois, is pretty damn good,..as long as you aren't trying to snap moving objects! Overall am happy with the downgrade, and would say to anyone considering stepping down from a flagship, that the moto play is a good option to take, but just to have a go with first before making any snap decisions.

I've had numerous phones the last year, starting with a Galaxy S4 (which I had from release), to the Oneplus One, to the Sony Xperia Z3, to a Samsung Galaxy S6 and now on the X Play XT1562. I still have the OPO and Z3, but loving this X Play and it's battery life, as posted in another thread, I've managed 5 hours SOT and off charge since approx 7:30am yesterday morning, 15% remaining.
[X Play General] vbob:
I come from a Galaxy SIII i9300. The Moto X Play is a good mid-range phone, and the only thing I really miss is the Gyro. Besides that, I'm very happy: amazing battery life, very good camera, good performance. It was a good upgrade for U$$240 (R$980).

Nexus 4. The batery live is from a different world here.
[X Play General] fjones1979:
Nexus 4!

What a great phone, but what a ****ty battery life. It did improve with a lot of mods, it was running Euphoria ROM for a while, and now it's my backup phone.

The Moto X Play is great, it does have some issues with animation transitions and sometimes it lingers on some stuff. I hope that when it gets Marshmellow a lot of these issues will be resolved. The camera on daylight is awesome. (not so much at night). I wish that the speakers were stereo, but you can't win them all.:good:
[X Play General] zdeev:
Same here. I do miss the fingerprint sensor, but without all the bloatware and memory issues (that are supposedly fixed) on the S6 - this really does not feel like a downgrade.

Other than the fingerprint sensor I do miss some sort of button on the front of the phone. I usually have it lying beside a monitor at work, and now I have to reach all the way up to see what's up. A led would do fine on the front too, for that matter.

Edit: Found the LED, let's wait for a stable ROM with Moto support to use it :D

Missing button not found, did install 'Screen On' that utilizes the proximity sensor to turn on screen when you hold your hand above it.
[X Play General] ephumuris:
There is an LED on the front just need custom kernel to enable it.
[X Play General] stephanes:
For the last 2 years I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 which fully satisfied me. For the last month I had LG G Stylo (canadian version with 1GB RAM). Worst phone I ever had, very laggy/slow compare to the Moto X Play. The only thing I miss from the LG is the 5.7 inch screen. Even if it just 0.2 inch, it make a huge difference. Overall I love my new Moto X Play better than the Note 2.
[X Play General] arnabJ:
LG G3 Beat (S/Mini).

Had it for last 11 months until it got bricked while trying to root as LG has fixed all vulnerabilities on Lollipop.

It was one of the best phone I have ever had.

I'm coming from a G2. I loved my G2 but LG are rubbish with updates: I've put my G2 back to stock 4.4.2 and there's still no OTA LP available ?

Hopefully once M is out we'll get the kernel source fairly quick from Motorola so we'll have good ROM support for this phone.

Waiting for my dual sim Moto X Play 32GB, should be delivered on Thur. Currently havin S5 duo and I am happy with this phone to be honest. Packet Disabler app froze all the bloatware, battery life great, easily 1 day I am a heavy user.

Dont know if buying Moto X play was a good choice, just wanted something new and different than Samsung, with 32gb, a bit larger screen and better battery.

Do you think I'll be happy with X play? I can't root because of my Bank app which doesnt work on a rooted phone

Is the performance similar?
[X Play General] brom25:
Depends on your usage, can't tell how it is in gaming.

But overall, it is really fluid, no lags in the UI. After having a G3 for few months, the screen was a downgrade to me but it is definetely worth the extra SOT for me. It is still very bright with nice viewing angles and really readable in the sunlight. The only downside is being not dim enough for me at night, but it is not annoying neither :D

The battery is awesome as you can see on the forum, I get average of 4.5-5h SOT with really heavy usage (GPS, Music, 4G all the time, WhatsApp and so on).

The Android experience is really close to a Nexus. I miss the Double Tap to wake but I guess it will be implemented in a custom kernel in the upcoming weeks.

So to answer, yes you will be happy with it :good:
[X Play General] andrezrl:
Also came from a Nexus 4. My old phone is working just fine though but I was searching for an upgrade after the horrible battery life of the N4 and lack of LTE, dual sim and microSD.

So far so good, can't complain, this phone is just awesome.

In some aspects it feels a bit slower than my One (but I was expecting that to be honest) however with other things it is better I.e the dark knight game runs better on on my X Play and the graphics seem nicer too.

Whilst I miss some parts of Cyanogen 12.1 it definitely doesn't Feel like a downgrade and when I reach that 4 hours SOT and I still have 51% battery left the smile on my face more than makes up for it :)

Xperia Z -> Moto X play

Love my new moto x play but Def felt my Xperia Z was a lot smoother ... and Camera app was much better including over all UI .... but I bought it for the dual sim , bigger batter and camera ....

the only thing disappoints me in this phone are the frequent stutter
[X Play General] jonodroid:
i've been much the phone whore in the past 24 months.

nexus 5, oneplus one, moto g 2014, moto x 2014 and now the moto x play.

imho i think the moto x play ticks most of the right boxes for me.

speed wise, its a bit slower than the nexus 5, moto x and the one plus one but its still quite manageable. i don't do anything too strenuous on my phone, but i have noticed a bit of lag here and there. its a little disappointing that it's not exactly 'buttery smooth' but its close enough and not much of a deal breaker for me.

battery life is amazing (like the oneplus one pre lollipop). i do shiftwork and am not at a desk so i don't have the luxury of powering my devices over the course of the day (or night). the nexus 5 was absolutely terrible and i would have to bring a battery charger with me wherever i go. moto x 2014 was just manageable but i would have to be extremely mindful of my usage to make sure it would last the whole day. with the moto x play i can just use the phone how i feel like it and feel confident that it will last the whole day. it also has quickcharge 2.0 i can top it off in the car. no battery anxiety for me!

size is such a subjective thing because we all use our phones for different things and i feel much of our size preferences come much from our past experiences. imho the moto x 2014 was pretty much the perfect size. it feels great in the hand and the big moto dimple made it easy for one handed use. oneplus one was much a love/hate relationship. there were moments where i really appreciate the screen acreage and then curse the heck out of it because i would have a drink in hand and struggle to operate the oneplus one handed. for me the moto x play is between the two. sure, its definitely bigger and heavier than the moto x 2014, but i am still able to use the phone one handed without performing too much hand gymnastics. perhaps it's something to do with the curvature of the back?

sorry. i will end my incoherent rambling now :)

[X Play General] ToYeD:
I had a Nexus 5 (2013) 16GB on Koodo. I switched to the LG G3 32GB last week and had issues with it. It started shutting off on it's own at random and I would have to do a battery pull and hold the power button for 15 seconds without the battery in and then turn it on to get it to boot. But it would just do it again eventually. So I brought it back (still within the 15 day return limit) and swapped it for a new Moto X Play. Probably a good choice. I liked the qHD display on the G3 but I honestly can't say I see much difference in the 1080p display on the Moto X Play. It's not qHD but it's still a great screen. Also I'm a fan of vanilla Android (hence the Nexus 5) and the stock firmware is more than vanilla enough for my liking. Guaranteed Marshmallow is also a great selling point. I don't know why I went with the LG G3 first but I'm glad it had issues. The Moto X Play is more my speed.
[X Play General] m4tt94:
The 1080p panel on the Moto X Play is much, much, much better than the QHD one on the LG G3. It's more contrasted, brighter, colors are more natural and less washed out, and the viewing angles are better. The only thing thats better on the LG is the resolution.
[X Play General] ToYeD:
Indeed. I noticed this straight away. The X Play's display is much more vibrant and natural. Though, I will say this. Even though the resolution on the G3 is better, it also means it requires more power to run which means your battery drains faster. Not sure exactly how much faster, it may be high drain or it may be negligible, but the larger battery and lower resolution screen on the X Play makes me believe the X Play has far superior battery life.

from a nexus 5

I probably would have just bought a nexus X but the cost in Australia is $700 + for the 32 gig, the MXP (Aust $485 through Expansys) looks as good in my research plus it's hugh battery & SD card support. if it gets Android updates as quickly as Moto has recently been doing it will become the default Nexus.

[X Play General] qwerty1q:
After a week I dont experience any lags......performance is great but as I said I dont play games and also I use Nova from the first day because it is more configurable.

Coming from S5 dual and LG G3, I am missing

- power button in the front or knock knock........

- Sync in notification bar and more configurable notification bar

- wake up and notification should be more configurable. I swipe mostly too late to unlock my phone :)

After a week of having X play I must say battery is great (32gb dual). I dont play games on my phone and I dont want to root it. Wifi data all the time, a lot of calls and emails, Google Maps 2-3h a day

For those who have problems with the battery:

- Official Facebook app kills the battery although it sometimes is not indicated in battery stats. Uninstall it for 1 day to feel the difference. I'd recommend "FBL Desktop for Facebook" great small app

- widget (Power Toggles) with Sync to turn it off if you dont need it. Dont know why it is NOT in notifications! Without a widget it is probably always on.......

- turn off location if you dont need it - I actually turn it on only when using Google maps for navigation

- Calengoo - great calendar that doesnt requires Sync on all the time

- MailDroid, Aqua, Type Mail - again they dont need to Sync all the time

So my GS6 is driving me insane, got to recharge by 2-3pm every day and I'm not close to a wallcharger... So I bring an external battery but it doesn't have fast charging and I'm in no mood for a battery case.

I got a used gs6 for the price of a moto x play, but I think I'm just going to sell the s6 and get a x play... but still not sure if the Play is worth it over the Moto G, people seem to be getting awsome battery life on that too...

Coming from my Xperia ZL, had been a fan from Sony for a while, but their flagships hadn't been too impresive. I had the Moto X (2013) and loved it, however it didn't covered ground as my ZL had. I finally decided to upgrade to the X Play and Oh boy, this phone is amazing, battery life is outstanding, camera is great. I just need to get used to the size, the extra 0.5" makes the difference on the hand, but it's totally worth it

xPlay is something else... 6 hours screen on consistently. Give me slight micro lags any day with this sort of battery life. I barely notice a lag on CM12 anyway...
