But let's get into much more details.

Motorola made a very good job making the Motorola Moto X Pure Edition (2015) as lightweight as 6.31 oz. This device is for sale in 3 different color options, black, gray and white. Regarding its design, the is made with plastic. The Motorola Moto X Pure Edition (2015)'s thickness , 0.44", is a bit far from nowadays standards, but it still feels quite right in the hand. The is a compact cellphone, taking into account that it has a 5.7 inches screen and it's just 6.06" long and 3 inches wide.

Motorola decided to design the using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 MSM8992 chip, which holds an extremely powerful processing unit running at 1.8 gigahertz and a great 3 GB of RAM. The comes with a great 64 GB internal storage memory and an SD memory slot, allowing the user to store tons of applications, games, photos and videos without even thinking about how much memory is left.

This phone features two cameras, a 21 megapixels back-facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front camera. the 's back-facing camera lens has a 2 aperture so it can capture awesome pictures even in low lighting conditions. It also films 3840x2160 4K videos at 30 frames per second, and slow motion videos in (Full HD) (1920x1080) up to 60 frames per second (2 times slower than reality). This cellphone also counts with a few nice characteristics like digital image stabilization, flash, face detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.

Motorola packed the Motorola Moto X Pure Edition (2015) with a completely amazing 5.7" display, and a 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD / 2K) resolution, giving this phone a great image quality. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

The Motorola Moto X Pure Edition (2015) has WiFi capability (and it can provide it to other devices acting as a router or modem), 4G LTE-A , the fastest internet connection and fast 3G connection type, over HSPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a Nano SIM card for GSM services and it can connect using both CDMA and GSM carriers.

This phone uses a 3000 mAh large Li - Ion non-removable battery, enough to provide this cellphone with an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the 's battery is not removable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to live shorter, while with so much capacity you will probably buy a new cellphone before it becomes a real problem.
