Moto X Pure Edition - After The Buzz | Pocketnow

[@aveejaiswal9344]

💗 I bought one and it's the most beautiful thing I ever saw,the bulk feels so good and the screen is so damn lovely. I really love the speakers and the camera ,and the battery lasts a day for me.

[@jacobperez8921]

I'm watching this video on my moto X pure edition (2015) and I still love it!

[@robertos.zamudio3819]

no eres el único :)

[@kristianosorio6472]

watching on mines as well, loving it from the middle East :D

[@YajurBawa]

Same here. X Style :)

[@SadGoldenPuppy]

Watching it on my 6P and I agree. My phone is better

[@George-nx4bp]

+Grayson Maximillian Phoenix and a shit ton uglier in my opinion. and much easier to drop with it being the tallest phone out there basically and being made of metal

[@foodbankguy74]

just sold my iPhone 6+ and picked up a Moto x pure 64gb. with the bamboo back for $200...love it! looks great paired with my Moto 360.

[@Gravage]

I currently own the LG V10, Nexus 6p, Note 5, and Moto X Pure. The Moto X is my favorite one out of all of them. I think it has a lot to do with the feel in hand (as Michael pointed out) and the software. Nothing beats Moto Display, in my opinion. The IR sensors are awesome. I never have to use the power button on this phone. It reads SMS messages to me when I'm driving and has one of the more consistent performances out of all of my phones. I'm also a fan of the edge-to-edge screen and front-facing speakers. I got mine for $350 on Amazon Warehouse deals and for that price, it was a complete steal. I frequently tell people that they can't get a better phone for the money. And it's a better phone for half the price of the Note 5, especially since it manages RAM better with 1GB less available. I have zero complaints about this phone and that says a lot in a world where no smartphone is perfect.

[@thatguy4379]

Bought a Moto X Pure two months ago, due to its initial review here. Loving it still. Battery life is fine, Turbocharge is amazing. Moto Suite is still the most useful Android tweak 3 years running.

[@EmmanuelA1]

I wish you guys would've touched on the wear and tear on the wood backs after a few months. I'm really contemplating getting the bamboo when I order, but not so much if it doesn't hold up

[@TheSkyline35]

Sadly in Europe the Moto X is not competitive at all, it cost 499€, and when you know the battery is bad, it's not a good deal here :/

[@mike_dunno]

all these american videos talking about phone prices are just sad to listen in europe :D

[@TheSkyline35]

***** Yep so much, in particular for the 6P, over priced in Europe !

[@mussabh.6462]

Ouais au France

[@TheSkyline35]

Oui

[@MichelZelff]

+TheSkyline35 You're so right, the same story is about the Nexus 5X but that price dropped fortunatly!

[@adiapollo]

What a concise review After the Buzz! Helped me buy a Moto X Pure for myself today. Michael, you're simply the best reviewer of the tech-world. Keep it up!

[@rogerclemens4872]

How is it working? I plan to buy today

[@EsteBandido_YT]

People who signed a two year contract for this, I salute you. I purchased this by paying money up-front, and still havent regreted it. The rubber back makes it feel so different and relieving from the mainstream phones

[@KevinDoran]

I bought the Moto X a few months ago and am delighted with it. I havn't been tempted once to jump ship, which is unusual for me after this amount of time.

[@c_woelfl]

Good to hear this is still the case. Though I could have used this 'After the Buzz' two days ago when I signed a 24 month contract to to get my mitts on one here in Australia, thanks all the same same and keep up the good work Michael

[@kajtus92]

[@jolmeaki]

I read in an article that Sony was going to update the Z5 in January. I didn't get anything. Not sure if Sony put the news out though.

[@kharjai5433]

Going to be buying one of these soon. I've been using a Oneplus One for more than two years now. It was a great phone, but the battery is really starting to show its age-it drains to 60% with minimal use after just a few hours. I hope that I get the same if not more mileage out of the Moto X. :)

[@GeddyOverlord]

I've had my Moto XPE since September and I'm still loving it. Great re-review :)

[@KEANUWHITE]

I am currently using the pure edition, love the phone, extremely powerful and fast, only problem I have with this phone is that when changing the streaming channels on KZbin. You'll have a tough time in doing that, sent the complain to Google and they have still yet to rectify the problem

[@ehoenig]

I really like your "after the buzz" series. Keep going with it. As always, great video +michael fischer.

[@godofthepickles9636]

Should I buy this? I want to keep it for about 2 to 3 years, so I was wondering if it would still be a supported device even then. Thanks!

[@miemj.8075]

Is it still worth it ? Getting mine next week

[@kierandams7162]

Jamiem Jabbar Harsad yes

[@kellanmackenzie5230]

Aside from the sub-par battery life on this phone it is still a very good Android offering. I recently received the Android N update on at&t and I will soon replace the battery myself with a brand new one; the process is quite easy apparently. This phone will be especially hard to let go of because I used Moto Maker to make it my own upon its initial release but a new battery and the Nougat update should get me into the spring release season to search for a new flagship or premium mid-range phablet. It has definitely been my favorite phone of all time.

[@airsomeone]

the front facing speakers on my moto x while watching this makes it so worth it, plus if you can root you can save a lot of battery power

[@greenthumbs847]

Quite helpful, thanks. Tough time trying to compare the Pure edition post update vs Axon 7.

[@elementkx]

I used to have one and loved Moto's added features but the AMOLED screen on the Axon 7 pulled me away. Any reason to go back?

[@LarryAsberryJr]

I appreciate this after-buzz video. I just bought a Huawei Honor 5x after moving from my 1st gen Moto X. I loved that phone but had to go cheaper as the Moto X Style was just too expensive. If I can win one somewhere, I will definitely switch out my sim and use it. I loved everything about my phone, outside of the laughably delayed updates (12-15 months).

[@BassPro150]

Bought my pure after watching the initial review. Trying to get my friends to pick it over the 6p, but of course they went Nexus, which is not a bad thing at all. But, holding and tinkering with the nexus, I have to agree that to me the Moto X is still the standout as when I bought it a few months back. The 6p does things mine does not, sure. But the feature set is still as alluring now more than ever.

[@949luar]

Thank you for keeping up with after the buzz!!!

[@michaelcastillo19]

man the Michael Fisher days in Pocketnow. the best

[@acmaddc]

Michael, can you do an after the buzz video on the pebble time steel (since I've noticed you've been wearing one for quite some time). how well has it aged for you?

[@tonyjk]

After the Buzz for the OnePlus 2 please? :D

[@tonyjk]

+Luiz Eduardo ah... I own the OnePlus 2 . It's a really good handset for the money

[@Thisath100]

+Luiz Eduardo I really like the OPT and a friend of mine owns it, but I'd go with the Z5. The OPT seems so unreliable and hard to replace. My friend who bought it just a few months after release had to change the battery as it was not functioning properly, and finding the battery wasn't that easy or cheap either. If you read the forums, you'll find many people like that, not a huge lot, but a considerable amount. The software and performance are on par, the camera maybe better on the OPT (ymmv), which looks better depends on you, but I'd personally go with the Sony. However, the OPT is much cheaper and bang for buck. It comes down to hoping you won't be plagued by issues and whether you can handle the customer service issues that come with it.

[@alexts94]

Yes, oneplus sucks, their products are unreliable, quality control is bad, and their customer service is straight up awful.

[@Browningate]

That'd be 3.

[@EsteBandido_YT]

I acquired a Onelus 2 as a backup device (sent my Moto X PE for warranty claim), and the lack of android updates because now the 3 and 3T is out really kills it.

[@ansNAM]

Michael, G4 or Moto X pure? Which one should I go for (best shots, better battery, better performance, better display?)

[@pingpong1138]

agreed, I got the Moto X based off what you said (besides the screen size and technology) and I still love it, instantly did, I didn't have to force myself to like I did with my samsung

[@XHobbiesPrime]

This video helped convince me to buy my 32gb Moto X. Had it two weeks now. So awesome!

[@bloatedtonydanza7798]

How is the battery doing? I just ordered one, and I`m afraid because the reviews...

[@XHobbiesPrime]

With moderate use at work I might top it off before I go home for the day. And it charges so darn fast. The doze feature is great.

[@northwestclasspnw7974]

I have a 16 gb version. I recommend having a battery pack. But if you aren't a heavy user (videos and gaming on the go) you just might survive the day. Just charge if you find yourself stopped. The turbo charge is too good

[@XHobbiesPrime]

If I use it a lot I definitely have to charge partway through the day but the turbo charge is so good I do not mind.

[@gnexjeff]

This is a very fair second look and review. The comments are spot-on in positive, negative and in-between realms.

[@WinterZune]

I love after the buzz videos. it's always great to see follow up videos

[@TheALX2444]

The price is currently $239 for the 16GB version, with some sellers giving away an SD Card for free. Killer deal.

[@TheMusketITuckedIt204]

I'm tempted to get this, with adoptable storage there's no point of getting the 32/64GB models.

[@TheALX2444]

+TheMusketITuckedIt Yes! Definitely a good investment for the price.

[@drpupper948]

Got the 32gb version for only $250 on Amazon prime day!

[@TheALX2444]

+Moises Topete You fiend! Haha, I'm gonna buy it within the next week. My Nexus 6 has a screen issue and it'll cost $240 the fix so I might as well get the Pure at that point.

[@drpupper948]

SilverPresence It's not on sale anymore XD

[@TechLineHD]

Dear Michael Fisher, please do more reviews as you used to do. See you in the next review. Thank you.

[@Browningate]

Your request is granted. He now posts on a dedicated channel called "Mr. Mobile." And while he might've forgotten about the best Android phone ever created on that channel, his reviews are still pretty spicy and insightful.

[@insainllama]

I use an iPhone on a daily basis, but the Moto x will always have a spot in my heart. It stands out and isn't forgettable like every other black and silver slab on the market.

[@eliheerter596]

My dad is getting a new phone since his old one broke and uses phones very lightly, we're deciding between the Moto X, LG G4, and the Nexus 5x. We don't want to spend more than 400$ on a phone and we're thinking of getting this. Is this a good choice?

[@GoddardEmpire]

The 5x will get more support and future updates, it is a capable phone and will not disappoint. There are a few problems with the G4 such as the bootloader problem that numerous customers have complained about. And the Moto x has the poor performing non-removable battery. If you don't care much about the screen get the 5x, not that the screen is bad but the Moto x and the G4 both have quad he screens and the Nexus has 1080p. If you don't care much about expandable memory, then get the 5x.

[@nazarenofernandez2549]

Get the Moto X, smartest phone ever. And for the price is now, is a killer deal.

[@jordancave6987]

Love his voice; smooth, engaging, and perfect intonation.

[@ichigouzumaki324]

I actually waited until the MXPE got Android 6.0 to buy it, just checking how long it would take for Motorola/Lenovo to update the device. Here hoping that with the next update they move as swift as they did in 2015. So far so good in the daily use of the phone.

[@Kelsie154]

Still wanting to buy either a Moto X PE or OnePlus X to use along side of my iPhone 6 Plus. I can't handle being stuck to one mobile platform. Just can't decide between which of the 2 phones to get. :/

[@sergiowolfpac]

I feel the same way about the phone, and xda custom mods/tweaks has made this phone exactly what I want it to be.

[@yashpoddar4236]

+pocketnow which phone would you suggest is better between the moto x pure and the nexus 6p? Is a 130$ difference worth it?

[@cbijames7]

I'm going to get the moto x pure, after my payment plan on my note 4 is done. love the front speakers. hate rear speakers.

[@DeadmanInc336]

I really love my LG G4 but there is just something about this device that I absolutely love. Maybe it's the near stock Android ui, the speakers, and the front facing flash. As long as Motorola bumps up the specs and keeps the important features like Micro SD card expansion, I may just get the 2016 Moto X when it comes out.

[@EsteBandido_YT]

i got this last night. black 64GB tax-free. Amazing offer!!

[@AtlanticPicture]

299 at BH and at Motorola (with some spec edition too) until 5/9 is something new coming?

[@mukithyder]

when are you guys gonna do a Nexus 6p after the buzz video?

[@jessiecardoso7005]

the chop for flashlight motion on my phone has not worked since a few days after I bought the phone

[@GeremyG]

I just bought one of these brand new for $250! Finally time to upgrade from my good ol One M7

[@GSF_1977]

l bought one for Xmas coming from a OnePlus One; although, I'm missing some features from the OPO, the Moto X Pure has some pretty cool ones. Love the screen size, love the speakers, love the curved designed and non slippery rubber back. Love the front facing flash led and since Android 6.0 update battery life appears to be a little better. I would definitely buy whatever version comes this year, if Lenovo keeps Motorola's Engineers and designing group for their mobiles.

[@tad256]

Exactly, which COLOUR is this back-cover? Couldn't really find this colour on moto-maker....

[@mrfrench821]

I was so close to clicking the order button after designing mine 4-5 times. I held out to see what the new Nexus devices were bringing. The 6p got my money because of battery life and I wasn't sure Lenovo could be trusted with updates. Can't front... I'm still leaning towards getting an XPE simply because it's the last great Moto phone.

[@nickackermanchannel]

Great Phone, Great review :)

[@ipad2811]

Nick Ackerman is it worth it for 120 dollars in 2018. please anwser

[@mikldude9376]

can you swap the battery out with the moto x pure ?

[@seanryan4544]

how does this hold up to the ASUS ZenFone 2

[@patrickmurphy8619]

I went to the 6p but it was a hard choice I like them both

[@OOOOORA6996]

Wait yiu guys pist this on KZbin but the iPhone 6s plus one on another site? I'm confused?

[@AnkushSahgal]

At about 4:35 the battery bar is at red. Like, really low red, and it irritated me because it made me want to get my charger. -_-

[@cheloronaldo]

I got mine one month ago, best decision ever!.

[@sreekar1512]

hey pocketnow, we want a comparison video of motoxplay and oneplus2.Goodwork Michael Fischer.

[@MadSupra354]

+Sreekar balabommala Moto X Play and OnePlus 2 are no where near the same hardware.

[@SkylerWallaceUS]

+MadSupra354 I'd argue they're about the same. The MXP has a better camera, better battery, SD card expansion, and Quick Charge. The OP2 has a better processor and fingerprint sensor. The OP2's USB-C connector isn't even spec compliant, I wouldn't count that as a benefit in anyway. It has none of the benefits of USB-C and has the big caveat too: it's not widespread.

[@deweythe4th1]

I think the moto x pure edition is one of the most beautiful phones out right now the feel in hand is amazing

[@SuperApaxton]

It was this or the Nexus 5x, and coming from a Nexus 6, i felt like this would feel like I had the same phone all over again. Glad i went with the 5x, my only real complaint is the camera app crashes

[@shayan_ecksdee]

+ApaxGelfling There was nothing wrong with the Nexus 6, why upgrade? you could have sold the 6 and bought a 6p.

[@SuperApaxton]

Shayan ⁢ After over a year with the N6, I decided that a nearly 6 inch screen was basically impossible for me to one handed type. Even with swipe. And while the larger screen was really cool at first, I didnt really miss it when it was gone. ***** I only really notice the "LCDness" when ambient screen kicks in. But I rarely ever see it since I use the official flip cover case (which is friggin awesome btw) In short, it was noticeable at first obviously, but, after a week I couldnt care less.

[@skyworks1621]

Michael really makes the best reviews

[@Sidak_studio]

Fisher's reviews are a work of art

[@marvinmatthewty8547]

would have gotten one instead of the nexus 6 if it were available in the Philippines.

[@ryansgr8]

I have had to do two returns on mine. SD card has stopped working on every phone that I've had. Light bleed on another. Customer Service has been horrible.

[@TheGamingDandy]

Whatever happened to the throwback reviews?! I miss those!

[@Dreinocz]

I was going to buy this phone, but has i wasn't sure about it i decided to get the Note 4. I am still quite happy, but there is something about that phone that makes me like it. It looks bad ass!

[@descomputado]

After the buzz for the oneplus 2?

[@shared2007]

Very well made video and review. Nice job Michael Fisher. I too love my Moto X Style.

[@aidheiko]

How does it compare to nexus 6.

[@Mr360Darren]

anyone know what Michaels smartwatch is in this video thanks

[@TheHotcool22]

I got one because of you ... and to be honest ... I love it ...

[@tIanne70]

I still love my moto x style. I have had metal phones and they're slippery. No need for skin or case. I had nexus 5 enjoy the expandable storage. In Australia the price difference between the moto x and nexus 6p much more than in the USA. I like the fast charging and front facing speakers. For the price it's great. I'd prefer to be able to afford yearly updates than pay $899 for a Nexus 6p and more for others with similar special.

[@iFil1997]

I can't decide which phone to buy: Oneplus 2 or Moto X Pure? My main concern is how it will age over time. Oneplus 2 has a better processor, gpu and RAM. I'm kind of turning to the Oneplus 2 but I see a lot of comments and posts saying to buy Moto X Pure instead. Please someone help.

[@kellanmackenzie5230]

MXP

[@srikarsharmasadhu9157]

Can you do after the buzz for One Plus Two?

[@GroudFrank]

It's a great phone but I am happy I didn't get it and went with the Nexus 6 instead. The main reason? Lenovo. They are already talking about putting a custom UI on top of Moto branded phone. They aren't as consistent or fast with updates as a lot of people are claiming.

[@marijnmolenaar2848]

so sad this happend :(

[@cdefgah4343]

Well, but in the last time lenovo abstained with custom UI modifications. Since lollipop, they almost run a stock vanilla UI. Just some additional features, mostly not visual additions.

[@cdefgah4343]

+matthew von in fact it is the best phone out there atm. Best camera, killing battery life and the most important thing: STOCK ANDROID with rapid updates!!!

[@troywiegand7608]

+matthew von- the SD 808 benchmarks higher than the 805... And speakers, micro SD support better front and back camera all make the 50

Does anyone know what launcher is best/recommended with this phone? I love the phone itself but i kinda wanna customize it a tad bit more.

[@kellanmackenzie5230]

Nova launcher is simple but very useful and pie control is great. Both on play store no root needed. Buy nova it's like 2$ or something.

[@Johnyfrieser]

I just bought mine wiv 32gb for 362€, it will be delivered this week.

[@Jhihmoac]

This was initially what I always had been drooling over, but never could afford @ the time... By the time I COULD actually swing the cost of a flagship over the budget unit I had, this handset was already out of production, and on limited support (typical of Lenovo - I sure miss the Google Days)... Since I did not at all like the Moto Z flagship replacement, nor its expensive modular component theory, I went with another brand, and have never looked back!

[@shudidesai]

Do OnePlus Two a couple weeks after the Android M update, which should be dropping soon.

[@suleymanvonturm]

After the buzz should be exclusive to Captain2Phones. No hard feelings to Jaime but this is staple series of this channel and I think it's better suited for Captain. All the best and big welcome to Juan 😀
