Video: Motorola Moto X Style first impressions

Posted on by

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.

Most of these efforts are focused on limiting access to care through rationing by another name, and by providing that care more efficiently.
