It’s also why there are so many little sensors on the front, letting the Style tell when you’re waving a hand over the screen.Īside from these little extras and a custom camera app, the Moto X Style’s software feels and looks just like that of a Nexus device. It often rules out needing to even get as far as the normal lock screen. It’s kind of like a custom lock screen, a way to display notifications as they come in. The best Motorola extra, though, is Moto Display. And you can set rules, based on times and your location, that let you fine-tune how the phone rolls in day-to-day use. These include gestures that let you, for example, turn the torch on with a karate chop motion. There’s the Migrate app to help you transfer stuff from your old phone and one bonus Moto app, but for the most part this acts as an extension of the Settings menu, letting you tweak all those extra little bits of functionality Motorola has squeezed into Android. One of the real joys of the Moto X Style is that it doesn’t have any appy bloat on it. I also found that while there are ‘natural’ and ‘vivid’ settings available, switching between them barely seems to make any difference. Bear it in mind if the quality promise of the ultra-high resolution is reeling you in right now. This is fairly common in LCD screens like the Moto X Style’s, and shows up as a brighter area of the display.Īs a result, the Style’s screen comes across as bigger than the Moto X Play‘s display, but not flat-out better in all respects.
In our review sample, there was a bit of backlight bleed at the top and bottom of the screen too.
Like the Moto X Play it has a nice relaxed colour tone, although I actually prefer the tone of the Play. Those looking for a cheaper media monster than the Note 5 could do a lot worse.

I’ve been using the phone to watch some films and TV episodes in the gym, and it’s just perfect for the task.

The Moto X Style has a 5.7in 2560 x 1440 pixel display, getting you a massive canvas that can convincingly justify the upgrade from 1080p. The next question: is the screen worth it? On the specs front, absolutely. Mine are, but I did automatically switch over to two-handed typing. More so than the similarly-5.7in Note 5, anyway. It loses just enough width to stop seeming like an almighty stretch like the Nexus, but it is a handful. The Motorola Moto X Style feels quite a lot like a slightly-shrunk Nexus 6, because that’s basically what it is. Other than being mis-sold as a ‘Style’ phone, the only other thing to hold you back on this Moto’s design front is its size. In other words, heavy rain is fine, just don’t drop the Moto X Style down the toilet. That means it’s impervious to dust, and can withstand water sprays but not being submerged. The body is nano-coated, giving it IP52 protection as well. The metal surround does add a touch of class too, and as with all current Moto phones, the curvy design helps disguise that at its thickest point the Style is a chunky 11.1mm thick. There’s no flexing to this phone and while the back is plastic, it’s nicely soft to the touch. So rather than using under-the-hood slots for the SIM and microSD slots, the cards fit into a tray that pops out from the phone’s top. This is the only one of the 2015 Moto X phones to use a fully enclosed design, meaning the back isn’t just a plastic battery plate you can pull off with a fingernail. It’s a decent-looking phone, and feels pretty good too. Enough of bashing the Moto X Style with Gok Wan’s naughty stick, though.
