[X Style (Pure) General] Tech_Guru1705:
My review for the phone...

So, here is my review for the Motorola Moto X Style.

I got it delivered on 28th of October around noon, even though flipkart said it would come home by 2nd of November. A great surprise!

First: The looks

This phone is an absolute charm in looks and in- the-hand feel. My brother has a note 3, so I could compare it to his phone.

In the hand, this phone feels great. It's back feels a lot more premium than what the Samsung's try to do, and the front face has a great 5.7" screen with surprisingly little side bezels. Although it has top and bottom bezels maybe just a bit larger than the note, but it was not so noticeable.

The sides are so very premium. The matte-finished metal sides feel as premium as they could, and they seem a bit hard to scratch, so good news.

Similar metal piece around the camera, which gives a really great look.

Second: The Performance

The phone seriously performs like a beast. It Never ever lags in a daily routine.

Even opening 40-50 apps In the background, it never fails to deliver it's pure performance.

It's startup time is around 25 seconds, which is great, and once it has started, no time to waste. It already gets apps loaded, and is ready to go. It's speed is one of the great features for the phone. Internet loading was surprisingly fast.

Antutu gave it 42k after filling it up, but before it would be as high as 47-48k.

3. Features

This phone is loaded with everything you need. But still, it has no bloatware. Only the flipkart app already installed, not even Facebook. It's extra apps are only for the easy use of every man, and work great.

Starting with the moto integrated application. It has 4 parts- actions, voice, assist and display. Pretty easy to use. One thing that gave problem was the moto voice. It is actually really great for tasks, but for searching the internet, it sends our voice to Google itself, which then does the job. But the problem in this was that it would be easier to just open Google and speak to it. It also failed to recognise the message sometimes, while Google replied easily. It also it gave problem allowing 'OK google' from any screen. Google now said it could not get access to the mic while training it my voice :( . Otherwise, no issues.

The moto display worked great, but sometimes(once for me) when not used for a long time, the sensors kind if stop responding. Had to restart the phone to wake the screen with a wave. The move to wake worked perfectly though.

Assist is great. Responses easily, and has new features. Still, you cannot leisure talk to it, it just opens Google now if you ask 'how are you' or anything. OK Moto X feature was great.

One thing that gave problem was the 'chop to flashlight' thing. The trick is to move the phone by the support of your elbow, not the wrist, just like starting an auto rickshaw.. Maybe :p

4. Camera

The camera was, actually, not as fabulous as I expected. No doubt it is really great, but even zooming into descent-lighted shots shows cracks in the pics. Tried camera FV-5, which actually works better, but the interface is really hard to understand. Waiting to root the device and getting the modded moto camera app.

But still, it's front camera is very good. Better when compared to iPhone 5, so possibly 5s too. I think the problem is the 'playstore software technique'. Using the same app for a device with no front camera and a flagship... Still, not sure, whatever.

5. Gaming

This mobile was actually a flagship killer in this part. The gaming is so great on this device, the media experience combined with the QHD gives the best possible experience. And the reason I call it a flagship killer, is due to an emulator called PPSSPP. I still remember that it's games lagged on just every device, even Galaxy note 4 and OnePlus One. But this thing surpassed my thoughts. Superior gaming fans, this is it.

6. Other features

One of the headlines for this phone is the TurboCharger. It charges to about 30% in 15 minutes, which is supposed to give 8hrs of life(with around minimum use.) so probably the news was right. Didn't get time to actually test the battery, but the charging speed of the 25W charger is probably the best. Also, it always gave a day out with this device(easily for me :) )

The keyboard and internal software is great, no problems till now.

Also that it comes with an included bumper case, which is very very hard to put in if you don't know how to :p

The trick is to put the top of the phone in from the back of the bumper case first, and then push the rest in. Welcome in advance.

Back and front flash are as good as one would expect.

The texture on the power button is really good to feel.

Speakers on this thing are louder and clearer than anything I've heard before.

Also, putting the sim and SD card in the phone is tricky. They are on opposite sides of the ejectable slot, so you'll have to pick your phone up to easily do the work. But no hassle from then forward.

I think that's it for now. Contact for any queries :D
