So coming from a 5c, which stopped working after me dropping it down.
So i was searching for a new phone for temporary use.
This phone is like everything what i wanted in a phone.
Lets go by the pros and cons first
PROS:
1)Display: Its one of the best 1080p screens ive come so far, the IPS panel produces realistic image rather than over saturated colours in amoled display. Which i really like, but some people prefer amoled over IPS, choice is yours.
2)Micro SD: YES! Micro SD card this is the feature im missing in most of my previous phones, plus in Android 6.0 we can install apps in external SD card too. So yeah its really a bliss
3)Size: First i thought the phone was very fat, looking by the pictures. But then when i felt it first, its thinner at the sides and fatter in the middle, which is perfect for gripping it.
3)Micro SD: YES! Micro SD card this is the feature im missing in most of my previous phones, plus in Android 6.0 we can install apps in external SD card too. So yeah its really a bliss.
4)Battery: It has a 3630mah battery, which gives you enough juice to last for a day.
Usually it lasts for more than a day and half for me. I mostly use emails, skype, whatsapp, snapchat and facebook, I dont play games at all, So yeah gaming will give less battery performance.
5)Camera: The camera is a 21mp rear with dual tone led flash and 5mp front with screen flash, rear camera is really good in day light or artificial light. Even with flash its good, Very less noise and the picture is very clear. Front camera is good too for selfies. Some manual settings are there too (manual focus and manual exposure).
6)Moto features: Moto display, voice and actions. Out of the 3 i use only moto display, its the best thing about this phone, pick it up from the table or from your pocket, screen turns on and can quickly access your missed notifications.
Now for the CONS
1)The only thing i hate most about the phone is volume rocker and the power button, they are so wobbly and it makes sounds when you shake the phone closer to your ear. Moto shouldve atleast put a decent set of buttons.
2)Shouldve included the turbo charger as this Phone supports turbo charging(I guess they dint because of cost cutting, cause 18.5k for this phone is actually a steal)
3)Set of earphones provided are below average( Again i guess cost cutting to make it come to 18.5k)
Some things to be mentioned about the phone:
1)No led notification light: Not actually a con for me, cause moto display makes you forget what led notification light is.
2)There is no gyroscope(I dont really care about this)
3)Snap dragon 615 is an average processor: The phone is obviously priced at 18.5k so its an middle class phone. Plus i dont play games so i having a very fast processor doesnt matter. This processor does the job from browsing to scrolling through apps quickly. If you want faster processor go for moto x style.
4)2gb ram: Some may find it less, but it is actually enough for a average user like me. People who want 3gb ram as they do lot of multitasking and play games may get the moto x style again.
5)Front speakers is a single one, it first looked like dual speakers but they are single. Still doesnt matter cause i use speakers only for call ringtone.
6)Comes with a nice sim card removal tool. Classy moto.
7)Has gorilla glass 3, i think it shouldve come with gorilla glass 4. Anyways it doesnt matter, as i have cracked 4 of my previous smartphones screen. Lol. Im careless.
Ive heard reviews of people saying the phone heats a lot and stuff, may be you got a defected model, cause my phone doesnt heat at all. There is some heat during charging but its not a lot, just minor heat which i feel is common.
And if the model is not defective then may be stop posting negative reviews.
As the battery goes people are saying average battery, these are the people who are using phone continuously with power hungry apps and screen on. It is way better than my friends s6 which lasts him 8-10hrs of usage(that too not heavy use of games), so again i request youll to stop posting negative reviews.
So i actually got what i wanted in a Phone a good display, camera, battery, audio output through headphones, a decent processor to handle medium usage apps like skype, facebook, emails, whatsapp, snapchat.
So overall happy with the Phone.
I recommend it if your budget is tight around 20k.
Sorry for such a long review but i had to help buyers who are interested in getting this phone to know the overall details of the phone.
Thanks for reading my review :D
