According to Motorola, with its Turbo Power Charging, 8 hours of usage can be achieved with 15 minutes of charge. The Turbo Charger is an optional accessory and will be available for approxiamtely Rs. 1,000.
Motorola Moto X Play sports a 5.5-inch full HD display (1080×1920 pixels). It is powered by 1.7 GHz, 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Octa-core processor coupled with Adreno 405 GPU, 2 GB RAM and 16GB/ 32GB option of internal storage expandable to 128GB via microSD card.
The other useful feature of this phone is that it runs on stock-Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS and will be updated to the latest Android M. This phone supports Dual-SIM (Nano SIM cards).
The Moto X Play also supports 4G LTE networks and has in-built NFC technology. The Moto X Play is water repellent and not waterproof device which means that it can withstand odd splahes of water but can not be submerged in water.
The Moto X Play also incorporates Motorolo’s other useful features such as Moto Assist, Moto Display and Moto Actions. Moto Display is comfortable way to check time and important things to look at without pressing the sleep or wake button. Moto Assist enables the phone to read out text messages when you are driving, and also allows you to dictate a reply.
