Takeaway: I had to come back to this one a couple of times to make sure there wasn’t something wrong with my settings. Top photo: Moto X Play (21MP sensor, F2.0 lens)īottom photo: Samsung Galaxy S6 (16MP sensor, F1.9 lens) I’ve been shooting the Moto X Play against what many people (including me) consider one of the best camera phones on the market, the Galaxy S6, so let’s compare the results. Thankfully, the Moto X Play shares many of the same components – a 21MP Sony sensor and F2.0 lens – as its more expensive Style counterpart, lacking only (from what we can tell) Phase Detection Autofocus, which makes focusing in tough lighting situations faster and more reliable, and improved post-processing with the upgraded Snapdragon 808 chip. All they care about is whether the screen is bright, the apps are smooth, the battery lasts long, and, perhaps most critical, the camera is reliable.
As components get cheaper and more powerful, speeds are feeds are becoming less important to the average consumer. Lacking the high-end specs of the Moto X Style, which will be up for order on September 3rd in the United States and a few other countries not named Canada, the Moto X Play is the company’s push towards mainstream adoption.
Can a $400 phone compete with one twice the price? That’s the question we’re asking with the new Moto X Play, which hits Canada towards the end of the month.
