Elegant Design and Bright Vibrant Display

The Moto X Play has a plastic back cover, with a rubbery finish that feels really good and grippy. It feels like a premium flagship phone. The company’s trademark at curvy back is a icing on the cake. The thin bezels on the side of the large screen means the Moto X Play doesn't feel too bulky in hand, and as we use it, the Moto X Play felt increasingly comfortable.

It can capture 1080p video capture @ 30fps and also supports slow-motion video capture. The day light shots are perfect and give us every detail. The 5 MP front-facing camera with f/2.0 aperture takes good images. Low light performance isn’t excellent by any means, but it is still decent.
