Along with the 2015 flagship Moto X Style, Motorola also launched the Moto X Play which focuses on battery life with its 3,630mAh battery claimed to last two days!
Just like the Moto X Style, it also features a 21MP camera. However, it has a smaller 5.5-inch screen, slower Snapdragon 615 processor and only 2GB of RAM.
Despite the reduced specs, the Motorola Moto X Play is still a great device considering its $299 price tag in the United States. That’s a little less than ₱14,000 here in the Philippines.
For that price, it also offers a scratch resistant screen, water resistant body and the same customization options as the Style.
It comes with either 16GB or 32GB of storage space with the option to use up to 128GB microSD cards for additional storage.
