Came from a Nexus 5 which I was unwilling to give up - but it's NAND chip got corrupted and the device is basically bricked now. Despite this I'm super impressed with the X Play as an affordable great package - especially the battery and surprisingly the screen quality.
[X Play General] Damian:
From Galaxy S6 but only for 2-3 months max. Just waiting for new releases in first quarter 2016 and then decide what will be next.

I have contract upgrade in feb/mar.
[X Play General] Pumpino:
I always have two phones on the go (one for work). Recently, I've had the LG G3, Xperia Z3, the Nexus 5X and the Play. The G3 and Play are my favourites, since I prefer a 5.5" display to 5.2". There are so few 5.5" handsets around, and the Play is the only one I know of that has sensibly stuck with a FHD screen. To top that off, they included a battery better than devices with QHD screens.

The display is also important to me. The brightness and whites on the Play are superior to the other three handsets. The G3's display lacks brightness, although the colours are decent. The display (and camera) on the Z3 is terrible - the blue tint taints everything. The whites on the 5X appear dirty next to the Play, although the brightness is excellent. I'm surprised that the display on the Play is the best of all of them. If only it had the Snapdragon 808 or 820. ;)

Lots of people coming from a Nexus 5! I'm one of them, too. I turned my old phone on the other day and, while it was nice to see 6.0.1 on there and the performance was really smooth, the screen seemed unreasonably small. I'm really enjoying the way that the MXP has a bigger screen but is still really manageable.

After a terrible experience with the nexus 4 (overheating problems damaged the mainboard) i decided to stay away from the Nexus devices and bought a Moto G 4g. After a great experience using the Moto G for a year, i decided to stick with motorola and bought the Moto X Play. Very happy user of the Moto X Play.

[X Play General] nikolov47:
Just curiosity, but do you have any doubts about the device overall after using the falcon?

I'm also coming from falcon, but I feel that somehow the device is not as great as the falcon was. I feel like I've made a mistake for choosing this device. :/
[X Play General] Nitish247:
Falcon was a legend of 2014. I used it for more than 1.5 year. It's still a good device to use and it also gets official CM13 nightlies. Moto X Play (lux) will not be as great as falcon. But it is a perfect device if you want to upgrade within your budget. It would have been better if lux had a AMOLED display bit smaller in size (5.2 inch). :)
[X Play General] nikolov47:

Switching from Nokia Lumia 730

I wanted to switch to 4G device, and there's no Windows devices in this price group better than the Lumia 730..

So, I switched platform, and got this, Moto X Play. (I still use L730)

It was a Motorola.. the first phone in our house.. since then, I am a great fan of Motorola., wanted to have one personally.

From Samsung

Coming from Galaxy S5 (G900h - Exynos version) to MXP. I always wanted pure android looks or atleast CM based ROM availability which wasnt possible with my S5. So gave it to my wifey and got the MXP yesterday.

What I personally feel is that S5's camera and battery life were really good (esp with the Ultra power saving mode thing). However I am pretty much loving my MXP here :)
[X Play General] cyberkid2002:
banjara: I am currently weighing up S5 vs MXP for my next phone... did you not consider sticking CM on the S5? Or was it not stable enough for your needs?
[X Play General] duffixda:
i had galaxy s2 for 4 years and mxp is much better. Im still waiting for marshmallow (uk version)
[X Play General] banjara:
I had g900h (3g version ) for which CM doesn't exist as Samsung never released any kernel sources.

If you wanna buy s5 and into CM Roms then it's better to go for 4g versions which have SD processors

My previous phone was an HTC Touch HD with Windows Mobile (and before that a Motorola A780 running Linux). I have been using the Touch HD for about 7 years :). I installed a custom ROM on it, so it ran WM 6.5 instead of 6.1. But the Windows Mobile platform was almost born dead. I never received one single update.

I hope the Moto X will get updated for a longer time (although I am still waiting for the 6.0 OTA update).
[X Play General] fyby:
My Android history:

Samsung Galaxy ACE -> LG 2X -> Motorola RAZR -> Motorola RAZR HD MAXX -> Sony Xperia Z1 Compact -> Motorola Droid MAXX -> Elephone P8000 -> Lenovo P70 -> Motorola Moto X Play :)

Finally! Verizons Droidlike european MOTO (important for europe LTE) !!!! I very much liked verizons big battery droids. But moto Xs were like nexuses - with 2200 like battery. When I bought Elephone (battery 4300 circa) I suddenly realized, there are several moto Xs with bigger battery:

Moto X Play

Moto X Style

Moto X Force

All of them only rebranded verizon droids. Hurray!!!!

Moto X Force would be better, but for triple the price!!! I miss only AMOLED on Moto X Play. Otherwise stocklike system, moto display...super!

Now I finally found decent newlike Moto X Play for good price so it was nobrainer :).

[X Play General] piter5533:
Hello there!

Currently i have galaxy nexus and I'm thinking of switching to moto x 2014 or moto x play. And it's hard choice for me...

Moto x 2014 has better performance; it's more handy than moto x play; it's looking better in my taste ;)

Moto x play has much better battery; better both cameras, microSD slot; and really important for me, that it should have an at least one "big" android update looking from MM.

If the 2014 version got MM and the one year younger play does i think play have really big chances of getting at least one update including N.

Which one would you recomend for me?

And do you guys know if the motorola has made an official statement of time that their devices will get updates? (google has 18 months if i'm not mistaken).

Thanks in advantage:)
[X Play General] kassu99:

[X Play General] girouf:
My previous phone was a Nexus 5 and it was, I guess, my first trully real smartphone. I really loved that phone and used it for 2 years even when the screen was badly cracked for the better part of the last year out of the 2. Before buying the X play, I read a lot of different people's opinion on how this phone was not a true upgrade over the Nexus 5. Well now more than ever ( after the 2 software updates ) I can truly say this is a very nice upgrade in so many aspects... Screen, GPS usability (for me), sound, camera, BATTERY I can't emphasize this enough... I know many complain they are not getting great results for battery, but for me it has been stellar. To the point a lot of people don't believe my stats. And as of lately performance has been on par more or less with my n5. Even browsing since latest chrome beta updates. I have spent a lot of time testing different settings from flags, and have ran many benchmarks as well and my latest tweaks I have to say I'm getting good load times, very smooth scrolling pretty much everywhere and good battery savings. So far very satisfied with my purchase and although I will eventually be seeking better performance with next upgrade, I know I'll have a hard time making the switch
[X Play General] yeeahnick:
I had a zerolemon 7000mah battery in my S3 and the Moto X Play lasts basicly just as long with a battery half that size. Best phone ive ever owned. Quick Charge is also a huge PLUS!
[X Play General] Sean09:
Hoping for some more feedback. I currently have a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact but was considering switching to the X Play. I am not a gamer or anything, just emails and surfing. Screen on time is important. How does the battery life compare for anyone that has tried both? Would I be getting substantially better battery life if I made the switch?
[X Play General] kos25k:
with continuous surfing I managed 5 hours sot with low bright and left 42% battery!you can estimate about 7 sot hours from moto...it's fantastic phone.screen very light and colourful with 400ppi is a great advantage...

Sorry for the bump, but I want to retire my N4 and buy X Play. I read that X Play suffers from microlags, it's still a thing today? Can you rate X Play smoothness compared to N4?
[X Play General] acpesreplays:
Hi

After marshmallow upgrade I think the microlag issue was definitely gone. It's a long time since I used N4 last time, so I can't take any serious smoothness comparison between devices, but I can say that X Play under marshmallow is significantly smoother than before, and, if not in same level, it's very close to smoothness I had with N4.

On other hand, despite improvements in almost all areas, X Play running marshmallow, at least in my case, have a worst battery management and decreased battery life. I didn't root it yet, though, so I was unable to try any tweaks to solve it.

Motorola Defy+, Moto E (1st Gen), Moto G 2014, Moto X Play.

[X Play General] EnIXmA:
It was awesome, but I am broke these days and needed that extra cash. So sold it and got the x play. Using the 200 GB SD card on the x play now, screen size is almost similar and the battery is better on x play on a single charge.. I miss removable battery and the camera quality though
[X Play General] acpesreplays:
Coming from a nexus 4, looking for improvement in three or four weak points N4 has, despite been such a great device for me up to now.

Battery life: a HUGE step ahead, now I can let location turned on, 4g on and everything, and my phone can end the day easily.

Camera: again a huge improvement, sometimes I feel X play front camera is better than N4 rear... Lol

Audio recording: didn't try it yet, N4 couldn't record well in noise situations, like a band playing... Let's see what XPlay can do.

System updates: it actually was a strong pro of N4, but it will probably ends with lollipop 5.1.1, so I hope XPlay can take me up to date at least for two years (N4 keeps me up to date for 3y).

Overall, I'm very satisfied, I like the screen so much, great brightness control and excellent saturation (TBH I've never been a fan of AMOLEDs due to overly saturated default colors and poor whites - at least in devices I saw, like moto x and galaxies s series...).

My only concerns till now is the lack of root and the perspective of been a forgotten device for developers, due to the fact of not been properly a global device and not officially sold in U.S. I hope Motorola update policy can compensate it.

Not sure if I'm getting this phone or not, thinking about it hard though. Right now I have a Xperia Z3 Compact, and a first gen Moto G when I have to send my Z3C in for repair (about to do it for the second time gggrrrrr). I have a first gen Moto X and Razr Maxx HD previously.

I love Moto's build quality, but there cameras have always sucked. If this camera is legit (along with the battery) I will be extremely tempted. Only thing I don't know if I'll like is the size 5.7 is a bit big for my tastes.
[X Play General] dictionary:
The Play is 5.5. Style is 5.7. :)

I'm coming from an LG G3. Just need root now so I can drop dpi and restore apps. Overall liking this so far, but it's only been a few hours, most of which I've been asleep. Time will tell. Let's see how this gets me through a slow night shift at work. :)
[X Play General] Crewville96:
Yeah i know. That being said, everyone says how its so much better to buy your phone out right and not have to deal with a carrier. I bought my z3c from the uk and had a shipped to the usa but everytime i need something done to it i have to ship it off for repair, and not have it for a couple weeks at a time. If I was able to get a phone through a carrier, I could go to the store and swap it out for a new one and be done with it.

So I think thats something I'm really looking forward to. The problem with the Play is that I'd have to do what I did with my z3c, buy from overseas, and have little to no support here, and I'm kind of tired of having to deal with that. I'd rather go with the Style/Pure because I know I'll be able to take it to a carrier store if need be.
[X Play General] Nico3d3:
I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy SIII, when I saw the price for such a great phone, I knew I had to switch to the Moto X Play. Having 21 megapixels on a phone feels great, it has even more pixels than my Canon DSLR. Also, the battery is great and it's even better with turbo power. Also, it does support microSD and I know I can't live without a microSD extension. If I had chosen to get another Samsung, it would have meant I would have been only able to afford an S4. Problem is the only way to get rid of crappy Samsung software is to install CyanogenMOD.

OK bough the phone myself from carphone warehouse and as good as it is for the price rattly buttons annoy the hell out of me. Yiu can hear them even when typing or touching the screen. Camera is big step down coming from LG G4 especially front one. You can see back plate is a bit lifting where the camera is too. I'm selling it after one day use. Will wait and see what are the feedback about Style or even might get Huawei Honor 7 as it looks ace for the price build and specs wise.

I'm in the UK too, mine just arrived today, not too fussed about the rattle buttons, but I might take the back off and put something between them to give them a bit more of a tactile feel. I had a G4 before also, I found it got very hot, so I am a little skeptical about the moto style, but I'll buy it anyway.
