Just like the Moto X Style, this will also feature 4G LTE support, Android 5.1.1 with the same Motorola software features, 21MP rear and 5MP front facing camera.

The video capture mode of the the Moto X Play is limited to full HD mode and its front camera won’t get a dedicate flash unit. But the Play will come with a staggering 3,630mAh battery which according to Motorola will offer a 48 hours of mixed use time. The Moto X Play is expected to come in 16GB and 32GB variants only with the option to expand the storage via a microSD card slot.

The Moto X Style will be more expensive than the Moto X Play, but will also offer a slightly better spec than its sibling.

In terms of specifications, the Moto X Style will come with a 5.7-inch Quad HD display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 equalling 520ppi. The camera and the software will be same as the sibling.

The battery is a 3,000mAh cell that Motorola claims will last the day. The most exciting part is Turbo Charging that can charge your phone for 10hours of use from just a 15 minute charge.

What I'm eager about is will Moto Maker come to India?
