Motorola
Moto X Pure Edition
The
Moto X Pure Edition is the same device that's sold outside of the US as the
Moto X Style, and is Motorola's newest flagship smartphone.
Prices
for the Moto X Pure Edition will start at US$ 399.99 (unlocked, compatible with all
major US carriers). The price includes various customization options, though
fancy stuff like leather or wood rear backs will cost extra. Motorola doesn't
say when the new handset will start shipping, but this might happen before the
end of September.
Compared
to the Moto X (2014), the Moto X Pure Edition brings improvements on all fronts
(that is, of course, if you consider a larger display an improvement). The new
Motorola flagship is splash-resistant, sports a 5.7-inch display with 1440x2560 pixels (Quad HD), and unsurprisingly runs near stock Android 5.1.1
Lollipop (an update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow will definitely be available at
some point). Powered by a six-core Snapdragon 808 processor, the Moto X Pure
Edition further features a 21 MP rear camera with dual-tone LED flash, a 5 MP
front-facing camera with its own LED flash, 3 GB of RAM, microSD card support,
and a 3000 mAh battery.
