The most affordable Moto X yet aims to dominate the competitive new mid-range market — but falls short in an important area ...
The quick take
Launching around the £270 mark, the Moto X Play delivers a great deal for the money — a great screen, a decent camera and solid battery life, not to mention Moto's excellent software experience. But nagging performance and multitasking issues hamper what might otherwise have been the perfect Android mid-ranger.
The good
- Fantastic display and impressive speaker
- Solid construction and ergonomic design
- Pure Android UI with Moto software goodness
- Capable camera — at least in most conditions
The bad
- Low-light camera performance is patchy
- Stuttery animations and frequent performance hiccups
- 16GB base storage doesn't leave much breathing room

Moto X Play Full Review
The second half of 2015 is a great time to be buying a smartphone. You've never been able to get so much phone for your money, especially in the new mid-range space, which has brought forth really capable devices like the Zenfone 2 and Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3. Motorola has a strong history of targeting key price points with laser accuracy through its Moto G series, so it was no surprise to see a mid-range Moto X — the Moto X Play — emerging alongside the higher-end Style-slash-Pure-Edition.
On paper the Moto X Play is a tantalizing proposition — for £270 SIM-free, you get a handset with a great display, an enormous battery and the prospect of the first really good Moto camera. In reality, the Play delivers on a many of those promises, but falls short in other areas. And in the past week of using the phone as a daily driver, we've been more surprised by what it's bad at than what it's good at.
Read on to find out all one of 2015's most intriguing mid-range phones.
