Motorola Moto X Style

MobileTechTalk | Domenico Lamberti

Motorola made a great phone, no, a fantastic phone in the Moto X Style, and I think it will appeal to a lot of consumers. The combination of a great screen, fast performance, a mostly great camera and a level of customization that other devices can only dream of whilst keeping a relatively clean, stock feel, and at prices a lot lower than its competition is a winning formula.

Motorola's Moto X Style is a solid all-round flagship phone that may not excite with original or stand-out features, but has plenty to offer all kinds of users. (...) With little to frustrate beyond the occasional photo let-down, this is one of the best Moto flagships of recent times.

If it wasn't for the Moto X Style's disappointing battery life, it would be near impossible to criticise. The handset is cheaper than many of its big name rivals, including the Galaxy S6 Edge and iPhone 6S, yet managed to compete with these devices when it comes to screen quality and performance.

If you want a well priced, super-fast phone benefiting from a slick design and sharp display, I can thoroughly recommend the Moto X Style. It doesn't confuse with a bucket-load of added features, but it does, it does well.

The winning combination of high-end specs, great build quality, useful software features and an impressive camera make up for the Moto X's few shortcomings. Battery life isn't the greatest and we've experienced a small amount of performance hiccups. But if you can get past that, the new Moto X is probably the phone for you.

With Motorola's Moto X Style, the buyer opts for a good smartphone that we can recommend despite minor shortcomings. The device is pleasant to hold despite its size, and can be personalized like no other. The high-resolution screen convinces with its color accuracy, but shows weaknesses in sunlight.

TechRadar | John McCann

It's not a handset with universal appeal, but for those looking for a big screen flagship at a decent price the X Style is an excellent option. I do wish the battery life was better, but it's not hugely different to other 2015 flagship phones on the market so it's almost acceptable.

What Hi-Fi?

This smartphone may not have the premium feel of the Samsung and Apple flagships, but we like how comfortable it feels to hold, how easy it is to use and how affordable it is compared with its rivals.

The Motorola Moto X Style is a bit of a curiosity.......The screen is an enormous 5.7 inches, making the phone large and heavy, and not particularly stylish, in our opinion.

Digital Spy | Luke Johnson

Camera criticisms aside, the Moto X Style is up there with the best Android phones of 2015. And that's before you take into account its wallet-friendly price tag. This really is Motorola's most accomplished flagship phone to date.

T3 | John Mccann

If you're looking for a big screened smartphone with a decent slug or power, capable camera and reasonable price tag then look no further - the Moto X Style is the phone for you.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

Great screen, good camera and snappy performance are good at this price – but lack of fingerprint scanner and wireless charging hurt longevity

Stuff | Andrew Williams

A big screen, big value phone only really let down by poor battery life.

PC Advisor | Chris Martin

Motorola's Moto X is a great crack at making a big screen phone, but it's not all plain sailing.

Pocket-lint | Chris Hall

That really leaves the price to be the most appealing point. So if you're looking for a phablet on a budget then the Moto X Style has plenty to offer, but it's just not the most exciting phone out there.

Alphr | Jonathan Bray

A lot of phone for the money, but Motorola's new flagship doesn't get it all right

Gizmodo UK | Darren Orf

The new Moto X Style is the new unspoiled Android champion. It can do Android even better than Google.

NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo

Good Expandable storage Excellent build quality Good display Pure Android experience Bad Weak battery life Average camera performance

Expert Reviews | Katharine Byrne

When it's marred by a yellow screen and exceedingly poor battery life, the Moto X Style just doesn't measure up to its cheaper cousin.
