Moto X Style, "Best-in-Class" Camera

[Suika]

And I have never realized why people carry anything in their back pockets at all... Can't feel if something has been stolen or not. I guess it's just a preference, but still.

I carry my wallet in my back pocket, I think I can feel if somebody is touching my ass, but I've never caught anyone so I wouldn't know.

I don't need to worry about pickpockets, let alone burglaries in this area, but I just personally don't like carrying anything in back pockets. Plus all of my trousers have front pockets large enough for a 6" phone (only once dropped when running, not even a scratch).

 

This is not to say that back pockets wouldn't be useful... But back-pockets are the easiest pockets to pickpocket from: a common tactic involves "accidentally" bumping into the target, and while the target is thinking about that, the pickpocket slips the wallet out of the back pocket (front pocket would be too difficult to even try without using brute force on the target, practically taking away the discreetness). You could feel it being gone, but a lot of times when you do feel something is missing, the thief is gone.

 

Backpacks with outside pockets are even worse liability. But all of this is most of the time not an issue, unless one lives in a crime-ridden area.

You never caught me

 

You should correct the title; the camera is third best. Behind the Note 4 and Z3+.

I remember seeing some photos taken by the LG G4, and those look better.

I only included that bit in the title because it's what Motorola is claiming.

[TroubleKlef]

Lmao. One+ fucked up. This seems like a much better deal.

I wonder if this is going to be another phone thats only going to be in the USA?

The phone looks good and I'd most likly get my missus one

The X Style has better specs than the X Play but has a smaller battery.

But it has the same sensor doesn't it ?

How do you find Wind? Ever have reception issues?

That's actually why I want a dual SIM phone. I plan on getting a Wind plan so I can talk with the gf unlimited, have unlimited data but still keep my old number, and have a separate number for business.

It's great now that they have service in the Canada line for texting/calling and data, it's fast enough to do everything you would need to. Only reception issues i have are out of the city like after mission server completely cuts out and roaming doesn't appear. a few minor dead spots but not really noticable most of the time.

The 5.7 inch part turned me off unless they have a regular sized version.

Apprently Moto X Style uses the Sony's new IMX230 camera sensor. I find it little bit amusing that it arrive first to a competitors device then sony's own Xperia Z4/Z3+ phone...maybe it will arrive to Z5 ("Made for Bond"), I hope at least.

Why does it have to be a 5.7" display. 

Add a bit more and you'll have an average tablet.

Funny how the original moto X had a 4.7" display because that was the 'pefect size' for one handed use.

5.7" is way too big IMHO. I guess I'll have to wait for the Xperia Z3 compact to come down in price.

Anyway, I'm happy at least one major company understood that the time of 700$ flagships is over.

Haha, they didn't before? Oh man. That's how I get to and from work and school. That's definitely good to know.

If I ever go out that far I can just switch over to Koodo. I'm hoping the OnePlus 2 has LTE on both SIMs, but I kind of (really) doubt it does.

Where are the dead spots?

[That Norwegian Guy]

Is no one going to adress the fact that it's called "Style" yet has an unbelievably tacky fake woodgrain on it?

 

It's like those awful "luxury" cars from America, where the whole inside is lined with grisly plastic wood and leather.

 

It's pretty much kitsch at this point.

In summary, quite a lot of diffences with the 1+2:

Snapdragon 808 (cooler than the 810, but also a weaker GPU)

1440p display (but who cares about that?)

NFC, but no fingerprint reader

SD card slot

IP 52 (Splash, Dust resistant)

Front facing flash

'only' 3 GB of RAM (1+2 has 4 GB on the 64 GB option)
