Video: Motorola Moto X Style first impressions

Move over One Plus 2, the Moto X Style has arrived. OK, so the phone isn’t going on sale until September, but we happen to think that Motorola’s new $399 flagship phone has exactly what it needs to put the One Plus 2 in its place.

We’ve already taken a deeper look at the Moto X Style’s specs and feature set, but we wanted to share a quick overview of the phone’s physical hardware as well. As you might imagine, the 5.7-inch display on the Moto X Style makes the phone a lot bigger than last year’s Moto X. But there’s some good news in there, it’s not nearly as large at the Nexus 6 with a width that’s comparable to Motorola’s 2014 flagship. The overall design of the phone is a step up from the 2015 Moto X, but we do think that the One Plus 2 takes the lead in the style department.

Take a look at Marco’s hands-on video of the Motorola Moto X Style and let us know what you think of Motorola’s newest flagship phone.
