The Moto X Style blends performance and style. It has a massive 5.7 Inch display with QHD resolution, fired by 1.8 GHz Hexa Core Snapdragon 808 with 3 GB RAM. Interestingly, Motorola has ditched AMOLED panels on both Moto X phones this year. That also means Moto Display won’t be as battery efficient any more.
