Motorola launched its much awaited smartphone, the Motorola Moto X Play in India. Speaking at the launch earlier today, Amit Boni, General Manager at Motorola India, said that the Moto X (Gen 2) will be slowly phased out in the country and the Moto G 3rd Gen is the fastest selling phone on Flipkart, which has sold 40 percent more than previous models.
The Android 5.1.1 Lollipop-based Motorola Moto X Play smartphone features a 5.5-inch Full-HD display (1080*1920 pixels) offering a pixel density of 403 ppi and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It boasts a 21 Megapixel rear camera which comes with f/2.0 aperture and CCT (Colour Correlated Temperature) dual-LED flash and is capable of recording 1080p HD video at 30fps. On the front, you’ll find a 5 Megapixel camera.
Powering the Moto X Play is a 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Octa-core processor with a Adreno 405 chipset that comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB / 32 GB storage options with the ability to upgrade upto 128 GB via microSD.
The phone comes with a reasonable 3630 mAh battery, which should easily last over a day with normal usage. It also features Quick Charge support which can deliver 8 hours of usage with just 15 minutes of charge! However, the Turbo Charger is not included in the box and can be purchased separately for INR 1000.
