Nope. With a big battery it has carved out a piece of the market all to themselves.

I doubt the majority of people hit up demanding 3D games on their phones.

OnePlus One already has decent battery life, more than enough for a day and a little more.

I would still go with the OnePlus One, seems like much better value to me.

This has customisation and bigger brand presence. I reckon it will sell well.

The Moto X Play is essentially the Droid Turbo for the rest of the world. That's why they didn't release it in the USA.

Isn't the Droid turbo a Verizon exclusive?

So it makes no sense and the SoC and feature set are also a bit different.

The new G is available on 3 PAYG for £139.99 + £10 top up which is a lot better than the £179 that Motorola is asking. Only available in boring black though!

What I mean is, it's the next Droid Turbo.

Aren't Droids usually flagships and much more $$$?

I'm pretty sure they release more than one Droid.

Execpt you said Droid Turbo.

Still can't see it as a replacement due to customization and availability.

Interesting to see that the Style has the new Sony IMX230 sensor inside.
Unless Sony or Google come out with anything special before Sept, I think this will be the upgrade from my HTC One m7.

May have different specs to our X Play though as they plan to announce something for the the US later in the year. Either they are going to be disappointed .... or we are!

Style is almost definitely going to be my next phone. Will wait to see how the note 5 and nexus 5 2015 pan out but right now it seems to be perfect for my needs... Battery life is my only concern.

It would have been my next phone but I doubt it will be too big for my use.Certainly looks big enough in the hands on vids. Pity the battery wasn't the same as the X Play edition. I'll have a look at both when they come out but also see what the new Nexus 5 is like. If I don't fancy any I'll stick with the Moto X 2014 until someone does make a good phone around the 5" mark :rolleyes:

My wife has a Moto G 1st edition and has always complained about rubbish camera not helped by the fact that 80% are of toddlers indoors. She wont use a seperate proper camera I bought.
Is the new G worth buying for her or is there anything better for less than £200?
cheers

I recently moved to a custom ROM (latest cyanogenmod) and the camera now produces considerably better results, particularly indoors. GF is still on stock Motorola ROM and I cannot configure her camera settings to get anything close to what I now get on mine.

decided to move to the style from a sony z ultra. huge downgrade in size but need a few phone and this one fits the bill.

what's moto been like historically for bootloaders, trying to block root access etc?

Thanks. It's already unlocked so I'll try it
