this is Dan cifra with the verge and we are taking a look at the new Motorola MOTO X style this is the pure edition that's going to be sold here in the US it is Motorola's new flagship phone for 2015 if you are looking at it it looks really really similar to last year's Moto X and that's not really bad things last year's Moto X really looked great it feels similar in the hand as well you've got a screen that goes all the way to the edges of the device two front facing speakers nice metal trim around it this particular model that I'm holding has a leather finish on the back which is one of the options through the Moto maker program feels really great looks great as well but what's new here is the screen it's much larger it's 5.7 inches as opposed to 5.2 the resolution has been upgraded to a qHD resolution so it's more than the 1080p that we had last year inside its Qualcomm processor it's a 3000 milliamp hour battery it's running a very near stock version of Android 5.1 which is part of the pure edition appeal from Motorola they say that this is the pure Android experience and then it gets also rapid software updates on the front up here you've got a new front facing camera that has an LED flash there and then around the back is the new 21 megapixel camera with dual LED flash motorola is really talking up this camera a lot because it's when one of the weak points on the Moto X line for years so we'll really have to see how that one compares but really it's a fast great feeling great looking phone and what's really great about it is that it's going to cost starting at 399 for an unlocked version it works with any of the major carriers whether you're on Verizon Sprint AT&T or t-mobile or any of their MVNOs so you can really use this phone out anywhere you want and it's a really great low price Motorola's going to be selling this direct through its website through Best Buy comm through amazon.com in September and you'll also be able to get it in Best Buy stores
