Moto X Pure Editionby Motorola
PROS
- You can personalize the color and material of the device, making it your own. Basic customization is free, with an added cost for wood or leather backs.
- A microSD card reader goes a long way in a market where expandable storage is becoming increasingly rare among new Android smartphones.
- The camera is now firmly in the capable-shooter category, but don't expect much out of it in low light.
CONS
- Despite Motorola's claim of all-day battery life, you're going to start looking for an outlet before the day's over.
- There's no getting around it, this is a big phone built solely for people who like big phones.
- The camera app could use a retooling. Focusing shots is a hassle.

The thing is, the market for cheap unlocked smartphones has exploded in popularity this year, and it'll take something really special for it to capture the title. So, how does Motorola's new flagship fare? Spoiler alert: really damned well.

The Moto X seems equally zippy in comparison with every other flagship Android phone I’ve tested, from the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to the LG G4. It doesn’t overheat, though it can get warm when you’re updating 20 apps at once. That’s pretty standard, though.

As it turns out, in 2015, a really good mid-range smartphone is also a really good overall smartphone, and the Moto X Pure Edition is the best mid-range smartphone you can get.
There a lot to talk about, but here’s the most important thing: The camera doesn’t suck anymore.

The 21-megapixel rear-facing camera does show improved performance, although there’s still work to be done for low-light shots and the amount of time it takes to focus. All in all, however, the camera on this year’s Moto X is the real deal.

Performance of the new Moto X is more than adequate. The Snapdragon 808 processor and 3GB of RAM handle things as they should, and without heat concerns. "All-day" battery life depends on your day. It's mostly been OK for me — not spectacular. But Quick Charge makes up for that, for me, anyway. The software stays out of the way. And what it does add continues to enhance the experience.

The Moto X Pure Edition is easily capable of competing directly with the latest Android flagship releases. Motorola did an impeccable job with its new flagship phone and the quality can be seen from the design right through to the hardware specifications. It's just unfortunate that the battery life isn't better.

After two generations of utterly mediocre cameras, Motorola has finally blessed the Moto X Pure Edition (called the Moto X Style internationally) with cameras that don't make you want to unleash a mouthful of profanity when you see the muddy photos.
If you’re looking for the absolute best value Android smartphone out there: Yep. Yep, you should.

Despite a handful of drawbacks and curious design decisions, the Moto X Pure Edition represents a great value for the money. It has good (if not cutting edge) specs combined with a big, sharp screen, the most recent version of Android without redundant apps or irritating skins, and an array of customization options that competitors don't offer.

I can only imagine how long I would have spent, if I had planned on making this my primary handset for the next two or so years. Odds are pretty good I would have shelled out the extra $25 for that lovely signature wood paneling. As is, I'm pretty happy with the gray and blue combo I landed on.
