Motorola's latest top to your phone the Moto X pure edition or Moto X style as it's known globally features its signature customizable design along with a few new interesting upgrades for one thing the display is bigger not as big as the six-inch Google Nexus 6 which is also by motorola but the screen has jumped from a 5.2 inch 1080p display to a 5.7 inch 1440p display unlike its previous models the device also has a microSD card slot so you can expand its storage up to 128 gigs on top of the 16 32 or 64 gigs of internal memory it already comes with camera specs have been bumped up to 21 megapixels on the back in addition to still being able to shoot 4k videos there is now a night mode for snapping pics in low-light situations the 5 megapixel front-facing shooter also has a wide angle lens and a flash to brighten up all those selfies inside is a 1.8 giga hertz hexa core snapdragon 808 processor from Qualcomm and three gigs of RAM there's also a 3 ampere our non removable battery that can deplete quite quickly with heavy usage during our preliminary test for continuous video playback it lasted just under nine hours in some markets however the Moto X does come with a 25 watt fast charging turbo charger from a completely drained battery it'll take only about an hour and 15 minutes to reach a hundred percent the phone ships with android 5.1 point one and unlike what the name suggests it doesn't exactly deliver the purest android experience Google's Nexus wine but it does come pretty close there's no heavy-handed manufacturer user interface just Google Apps and motorola's familiar software suite that includes gesture actions like flicking the risk to onto the camera and moto display which simplifies accessing your notifications while your phone is asleep mota voice carries out voice commands like sending a text or looking up info on the web finally there's moto assist which adjusts your phone setting depending on what you're doing and where you are as I mentioned before you can customize the Moto X with different storage options accent colors and back plates that come in leather wood or bamboo unlike its cheaper Moto G counterpart that came out this year it's not submergible underwater it is supposedly water repellent though so you don't have to worry about a few droplets of water here and there the device starts at four hundred dollars unlocked and it works on carriers that operate on either the gsm or cdma standard that means you could buy it and make calls or browse the web on 18 t Verizon t-mobile or sprint network again I'm Lynn and you can read my full motorola moto x pure edition review at cnet com
