Motorola Moto X 2017

Motorola hasn't always been successful with its high-end devices due to the lack of powerful hardware, and also due to the lack of innovative technologies. Nonetheless, the flagship devices from Motorola have a premium build, great displays, and a smooth bloatware-free software experience. The Moto X 2017 is no different; it has a premium metal unibody in a compact footprint.

The Moto X, unlike its previous elder siblings, comes with an LCD display instead of an AMOLED one. The display carries Full HD resolution in a screen size of 5.5-inches, and it is shielded with the Corning s Gorilla Glass 4. The biggest upgrade on this new device is its dual camera setup on the back. The Moto X 2017 comes with dual 13-megapixel cameras for an enhanced imaging. Two cameras make it possible for the Moto X 2017 to produce a better background deblur, and it also helps in capturing more details. The dual camera setup is aided by dual-tone dual-LED flash.

This time around, Motorola has decided to skip the flagship Snapdragon 835 processor in favour of a more efficient Snapdragon 625 chipset for the Moto X 2017. The Snapdragon 625 in spite of being a mid-range chipset, can record 4K videos. To avoid further performance degrade, Motorola has combined the chipset with 4GB of RAM (available only in 64GB storage variant). The Moto X 2017 comes with a fluid, bloatware-free, and stock Android UI for which the devices from Motorola are famous. The Moto X 2017 ships pre-installed with Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS. The device is most likely to receive the Android O update soon after its launch.

The Moto X 2017 has a sealed 3,000 mAh Li-Ion battery. Motorola s Turbo Charge gives the device 60% of charge in just 30 minutes. The Moto X 2017 just like all the other devices from Motorola for the year 2017, comes with USB Type-C port for an added convenience.
