Nice one! Parking.

Sharing this too:



First impressions by MKBHD.

To TS: You think should including the X Play here too? Can consolidate under Moto X thread.

how much for this in rm?hope wont exceed 1k

This post has been edited by tlts: Jul 29 2015, 04:27 PM

you must be joking

Attractive phone over OP2.

$399 in USD. Do the math.

With the current exchange rate, it might touch 2K or even more.

I think will barely reach RM2K, maybe RM1800-1900. But the more important question is when? If like the 2014 version reach so late, and only 16GB, no point.

It is Motorola's flagship smartphone for 2015, of course it's going to be more than RM1K.

Even OnePlus One, claimed to be flagship killer smartphone also cost more than RM1K.

$400 is about rm1.5k, add this and that might end up rm1.8k - 2k. we are talking about a phone similar to g4 here for sure can't be lower than 1.5k

Dream on

This phone better than OP2? Sure?

S810 vs S808
3300mah for 1080p screen vs 3000mah for 2K screen
4GB RAM vs 3GB RAM
$389 vs $399

Think bout it.

by your logic, OP2 > all phones

Those Moto Nexus 6 owner will butt hurt to spent so much money when the X Style is cheaper and relatively better.



I'm expecting Nexus 6 price to drop 25% soon...LOL...

Actually, I strongly believe Moto X Style/Pure/Play will be better than OP2 in terms of the whole user experience. Vanilla Android or AOSP vs Oxygen OS which is slow for updates and full of bugs still.

Moto X has curved back, so it feels wonderful to hold in your hands. OP2, well it's a slab like OPO.

S810, even with v2.1 still heats up. S808 is more neutral and balance.

Battery life, you still going to charge it every other day.

Anything more than 2GB of RAM is overkill, more than that is just icing on the cake.

Price point, well if you have USD400 just pick and choose. Then settle.

The phone is actually quite good but sad thing is it won't come to Malaysia. So the OPT make more sense as it is stated that it will come to Malaysia in Q4.

There will be grey importers. So, just wait lohhh...most probably before XMas as usual......

This post has been edited by azeemzuhair: Jul 29 2015, 07:00 PM

For updates, I believe both Moto and OP2 have tons of custom developers ready for any updates. So, it lies down to hardware.

On battery life, yes we are going to charge it every single day. However, are you going to charge it every 10 hours, 15 hours or 20 hours?

>2GB RAM overkill? The more RAM the better. If not why Samsung goes for 3GB RAM for S6? Better just stays at 2GB then.

Camera. OP2 have OIS, Moto doesn't have it.
Finger print. Same, OP2 have it but Moto doesn't.
Alert slider. Same, OP2 have it and it's quite useful as in iPhones.

So, OP2 stills pawns Moto in my opinion.

Just saw the hands on video, quite surprised front camera also got flash lol

Not only attractive but also competitive in features as to OP2.



The screen is bigger than OP2, processor wise SD808 is less likely to overheat as compared to a SD810 (despite OP claiming that they have underclocked it to minimise such occurences).

Sometimes higher specs may not guarantee a satisfactory user experience, it depends on what the user is willing to overlook. You can't have everything.

I'd prefer that the manufacturer gives regular updates to the OS. Motorola is one of the fastest in seeding out Android updates as they come.

However, procuring the device is such a pain cause of the time it takes for it to officially come to M'sia. Might as well get it via parallel importers.

Aiming this ?

phone made from paper ?

I'll choose S808 over infamous S810, 3000mAh in hands of Motorola optimization, too large RAM didnt matter much in real life.
What you get from Moto X, better looking front and back, TurboCharging, NFC, customizable color and motorola's unique features.

i have my next phone target set, this moto or the nexus 6, either way they are badass

Moto 'Pure' Android vs Oxygen OS. Personally i'll have more faith on the established OS

Camera wise, more worthy to compare actual pics taken. No point also if with OIS but could't beat others.

For OP2, how about quick charging, NFC, QHD display? Bigger battery of OP2 but takes longer time to charge. Will it be another consideration?

Gotta be balance when comparing both

If only Malaysia can get customize version. I really hope moto bring this worldwide include Malaysia.

i just realize the camera does not have OIS
if have OIS sure pawn OPT

There's no word confirmed it wont come, there's high chances it'll come.

Thing is, both motorola and Oxygen OS ( yes the one on OP2 ) are not open source, difficult for 3rd party dev to work on. As far as I love Oxygen OS's developer team ( ex Paranoid Android ), Motorola are more established and resourceful, we only can wait and see real product.

Sad thing. If really want, have to greyimport moto maker version ourselves.

TBH, OIS on smartphone are not that useful, or effective. From photographer view, smartphone with OIS is similar to camera with IS on wide angle lens, IS isnt that vital in wideangle shot. It does help, but not as much as you think it is. So smartphone with OIS is welcome, without is not much different for me.

I still prefer this over OP2 as specs are not always everything in buying a phone
Hope it will be available here
However I had 2 bad experiences with Motorola - Atria which is very laggy n Nexus6 with poor build quality ( backcover loosen after 2 weeks n on free replacement set camera focus failed after less than a month). Luckily end of day I got full refund from Amazon France

Haha, I will wait for Huawei Nexus and see.

Which Nexus you mean? The 2015 version or 2014?

If they could bring it in officially, I'd totally be interested in getting one.

They will, but the main question now is when? And how many specs?

Brightstar brought in the Moto X 2014 very late, about almost 6 months later, and only have 16GB with 2 color options (as compared to the Moto Maker), and sold at RM1888, whereas in the US they are having massive discounts. It's as if they are not interested in selling it well in Malaysia.

the new gen of course, the coming soon bunch, will assess and decide

I don't mind waiting. The "local" price though, might be an issue.

By the time it drop to 'friendly' price, newer better phone come out already how

Hmmm the front part gives me the plasticky feeling

have to agree the white and gold combination looks really good.

have to agree the white and gold combination looks really good.

That is a bit difficult. Haizz...

And then Nexus 6 given me not comfortable. Not sure shall I given one more chances to moto or not.

Actually this moto X style spec is much cooler than One plus two.

I don't really like the metal bar of the new Moto X. but then when I look at the same thing on the OPT... suddenly feels like it's not bad at all.

moto that without moto maker, is not a moto X. Hope can get the discount code like moto x 2013.

Ya agreed. Personalization plays a huge role in their success. Have to wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal then import or tumpang people from US.

Size ? I got used to it after a while, if I could go back smaller yes will do, but not sure on significantly smaller screen That's why either I kept my N6 this year, or get Huawei Nexus with 5.7" display, or maybe Moto X style if local pricing right, or can get moto maker version without much premium extra

I totally love one on N6, which looks extremely similar to this new Moto X. Dropped few times to concrete ground, no dent at all Hopes they maintain this metal frame quality on Moto X

Share out so we could tumpang together

Haha, I got my Moto X 2014 from the Valentine's deal: discount USD140...

But I am waiting for this year's Nexus first..

Sorry didn't mention clear. My not comfortable is the build quality. Worried X style will have back cover open up issue as well.

I still serious interesting if able to get moto maker edition.

So far my Moto X no such problem, mine is wooden bamboo back.

Great to know that. Hope this new version don't follow nexus 6 issue.

sorry, was referring to the metal bar at the back of the phones.

hurmmmm no OIS is a big killer for me the rest... nowadays you cant really tell difference between the 808 vs 810 except on paper..

Oh...you mean the housing for the camera, flash and dimple lolz. I thought which bar you talking about...

Well that is ok, I particularly love the dimple because it feels so comfortable putting the index finger there when using the phone. Too bad its not a fingerprint sensor.

With Moto Maker you can also customise the "bar" any color you want.

With Moto Maker, there are 126 possible combinations for the Moto X Style. Crazy.

There's no 100% flawless factory. Mine was died all of sudden ( no drop, no overheat, no mod, not wet ) and I still happily use the replacement unit I got. It could be small batch problem ( back cover ) or so, which I dont really heard about it alot. If like yellow band or touch sensitivity issue on OPO, or infamous power button issue on Nexus 4/5, which still reported after one year, ya I'll call that build quality issue. My 2 cent.

Ah ya, I dont like that either. It dont even look like metal build, looks plasticky to me.

Orange back, and leather back

last I heard there will be moto maker for china? and moto plans to setup productions in india? who knows we might have moto maker for asia in the future.

Not sure any changes now, last time Motorola moved moto maker factory to China, but I'm not sure if China can buy moto maker Moto X or not, but US moto maker Moto X are from China now.

The back cover open up is big issue mention in XDA. Not small case.

Moto Maker already available in China. https://www.motorola.com.cn/motomaker?pid=F...ction=designNew

For India, there have been rumours, but right now still distributed by Flipkart instead of by Motorola.

If they can open up like Apple (i.e. customized online and straight post from China) then it will be awesome. But Malaysia is a very small market to them, so not sure whether we will see anything like Moto Maker or not.

If only the dimple is fingerprint sensor with metal M logo.

Yeah man.

aka Nexus 6 before facelift, a DOA Android Silver project

Few choices only left for phablet with fingerprint sensor. Before this im looking for phablet with finger id ,end up with huawei because of the precise and easy finger id .

right now got only :

Mate 7
ip 6+
note 4 (finger id sux big time)

Upcoming :

OPT
Oppo R7+

I was so close of getting Mate 7, large display metal build fingerprint scanner at back large battery good price. Just that I'm too attached to vanilla Android.

Wait S6 edge plus or Note 5 la See what else Samsung could bring on.

Enuf with glass back phones. Cnt tahan with smudges on my sony.

And Honor 7, also by Huawei.

But I am very interested to see Huawei's Nexus, with Android M. That would really fit the bill and description.

This post has been edited by zhou86: Jul 30 2015, 04:14 PM

honor 7 phablet meh. haha

Eh, sorry I was referring to fingerprint scanner.

http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_honor_7-7269.php

U forgot,

Turbo charge vs slow charge

And front facing stereo speakers. Seriously it makes gaming and watching videos much more enjoyable, even on the Moto G it sounds great.

New moto g got front stereo speakers ar?>

Another factor this Moto X loses to OP2 = on-screen navigating buttons.

No doubt it has 5.7" but since it has on-screen buttons, it is more or less equals 5.5" unlike the OP2 which has capacitive buttons.

In addition, OP2 has dual SIMs which is a real advantage for ppl to carry 2 phones in which they now only needs to carry one single phone.

This post has been edited by MPIK: Jul 30 2015, 10:16 PM

Software button ARE what I want, it's not 2010 anymore, no more capacitive and physical button !
Dual SIM, not useful for me as well, I only know uncles carrying 2 phones

Yup.

Well, with on-screen buttons the form factor is smaller and easier on the hand although its 5.7" screen. Plus during games/videos/full-screen mode or whatever the on-screen button will disappear, giving you full screen. Plus its highly customisable with ROMs.

Capasitive buttons are useful, especially the ones you can assign tasks to, but it takes up bezel space. For the X Style, they managed to fit in the bottom speaker there as well.

But this debate has been going on long time, so at the end it really depends on the user preference. Personally after using both types (Note 3 & Moto X 2014), I appreciate on-screen buttons more.

I prefer this over op2

As one other user said it all comes down to user preference and which features will seal the deal for them.

I own a MotoX 2014, the transition between capacitive buttons & on-screen ones is not that hard, in fact, I'm not even perturbed by the reduced screen size.

As for dual sim capabilities, this would pretty much applies to frequent travellers and business people where they can easily switch SIMS on the fly. Then again, there are users who prefer owning multiple phones so they can know which line is the personal one and the other their business related one.

Sounds like minor nitpicking, dual sim support is more like a bonus perk, most people stick to a single number while the rest who do dont really mind carrying two phones or more, this is based on my view of course.

Capacitive or on-screen button is really a matter of personal liking, so at the end it all boils down to the person's choice. Sides, the difference you stated in screen size is merely, small enough to be regarded as negligible.

I think the only valid advantage the OP2 has as far as everything which is confirmed goes is fingerprint scanner

I would prefer SD card slot to dual-sim anytime. But that is just my preference.

I had been using dual sim phones ( Mate7, G4, K3 Note) but I had never bother to use the other sim. So this is a matter of choice. I prefer to carry 2 phones with me instead
Both Moto X Style n OPO2 has its pro n cons. Why continue to even point OPO2 is more superior in specs? If one think OPO2 is better than be happy with it. Well, some users prefer Moto X Style - so let them be

OP2 comes with 64GB which is very much sufficient.

This is why even Samsung this year have ditch the SD card slot.

Besides, SD Card speed can never match the speed the of internal memory.
Use it to record 4k videos in SD card and try how long can you record.

Yes! and i think more than half of users out there would gladly accept that this is the consensus

I prefer SD card slot than second SIM that will never use.

+1

OP could have taken the advantage of a dual sim slot but with the second sim slot doubling up as a SD card slot. That would have sealed the deal for some.

Yup, if I am not mistaken, that is what Xiaomi did right?

For now, I'll only troll them for shamelessly and disrespectful claim the OP2 as 2016 flagship when it's cant even beat 2015 flagship.

And many other manufacturers, it's quite common practice now. Well, so does NFC, wireless charging, quick charging all so common but apparently no one use ( according to OnePlus )

That is what Android Police did, hentam OnePlus kao kao. Until OnePlus boycott them and not going to send them a review unit.

Nice water resistant. Altho not as tough as sony but still usefull in most cases

Ya, that's why I love AndroidPolice they are truer and honest, like MKBHD. I want to see how well/bad OnePlus selling their 2nd gen product now, sometime major consumer arent that tech savvy, thus wont by nick-picking and easy to be sway by marketing.

Realized most of the recent post in this MOTO X STYLE thread on not related to moto x 3rd gen

Haha we are off-topic liao. But still, we are comparing between Moto X Style vs OnePlus Two ma.

I think need to make a thread specific for OP2 vs Moto X Style lol. And add honor 7 oso in dat, nice battle i think hahaha

nt only Xiaomi. huawei and lenovo also same.
