Looks very tempting to me. I've always liked the Moto X line and the added features it brings. I kind of like the JBL module too. I'm going to keep my eye on this phone until the end of the year and make a decision. It's probably going to be between the Z, OnePlus 3, and the new Nexus.
I will think about it below $400.

I've recently moved over to an iPhone with my wife. I still have a handful of the newer Android phones, but the Moto Z doesn't really pique my interest like the One Plus 3 does. Then again I'll probably wait for the next Nexus and see what happens with that.
Count me in for Moto Z ?
I would think of buying a motorola but i just remembered they dumped my moto maxx with no updates. So, my buying desicion is pending partner support ( basically never ever happening )

Come on over to the Moto Maxx forums, we have CM13 and Resurrection Remix being actively maintained
---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------
As for what I think of the Z:
They need a much larger selection of modules if they want to make an impact on the market, and they need to continue making phones that support these mods.
I don't plan on buying one right now, simply because I'm in college and don't have money to throw at new phones... but if this Droid Turbo (Verizon's "special" Moto Maxx) breaks, the Moto Z is high on the list. I've always had Motorola phones and I haven't had any reason to look elsewhere yet
Im really thinking about it. I currently have an LG g3, Samsung galaxy s4 and Samsung galaxy s5. The g3 have good memory ram management, but it has an IPS screen (which is good: no image burn like in amoled; and bad: no as bright as Amoled screen). The s4 is okay but ram managment is not as good as LG G3, the same with the S5, however, both have Super amoled screen ( which is good: very bright screen; and bad: it might develop burn in image if not careful). sooo the moto z/z force has 4 GB or Ram , and have Amoled screen. It also have sd card slot, and it might not only be limited to those modules. The LG G5 was my first option, but this one seems to be less prone to have built quality issues, unlike LG g5. but i'm also having my eye on Project Google Ara, but that one will be for 2017. Still, i think the modular design of Moto Z/Z force is one that can be truly called a modular phone. there is no need to remove battery (it is impossible anyway) to use the modules. in addition to that good amount of mAh it comes with by default (at least the Z force. So chances are 70% that i will buy this one over the g5

Lol a modular phone less than $400? Maybe the Project Ara from Google in 2017 ?
Will buy, if it can be rooted!
So I will buy this in a heart beat, but it must be rootable. I'm hoping it can since the Moto X Pure Edition could...
Any thoughts?

Aaah yess. I mean. I could use it without root but having root always makes it a lot better. Although, the modularity part would be a little tricky if custom roms are released. Something tells me that there is more to it than just "plug and play" or in this case, attatch. But... I think they will release the tools (or make it open to the public so they can come up with ideas for new modules) this will make it easier i think
Price
This might be a rumor but if this rumor happens then... Well, It will be a better deal than the LG G5. According to this website: https://motog3.com/moto-z-moto-z-force-moto-mods/
The price for the Moto Z will be $499 dollars, and for the Moto Z Force $549. If this happens to be true, then I like the way they raised the price just a couple of bucks more for the Z force unlike other devices which raise up to $200 bucks more for a better version let's say. Anyway, I've posted a picture of what it says.
I hope those prices hold, but on Verizon with Droid slapped on them I kind of doubt it.

As someone who loved their moto x pure edition, but shattered the phone on space mountain (disneyland)... I've been holding out for the new moto x announcement. Instead we got the Moto Z announced in it's place, while it seems cool... it seems to sacrifice quite a few features I really enjoyed and I'm concerned about losing. Particularly the audio jack, I'm also worried about the longevity of the hold of these magnetic mod plates... I'm in a bit of a bind, I can't really keep using my friend's old bind, but i'm unsure if I'll want the moto Z at this point (although it looks pretty awesome). I'm debaiting on picking up another moto x pure since they're on sale right now and giving away a free moto 360 sport which I wouldn't mind playing around with. What are your guy's thoughts?

If the audio jack is a problem for you, and you loved the Pure Edition so much, I'd say get it again now since you do get the free smartwatch. However keep in mind that it's the Sport, which is the worst of their smartwatches, and the Pure Edition is near it's end of life, especially considering Moto's recent history...

Only way I'll get the Moto Z Force (or any new phone) is if it ends up being able to unlock the bootloader and root, which can take time. Until that happens, I'll keep using the Note 4 Developer Edition.

I've posted this on Reddit, but I want to know the opinion of the new Moto G community.
Here goes:
I have my very loved HTC One X (International) with me at the moment. I've been happy with it after a year and a half.
My phone has the HOX wifi fault. And the battery life barely gives me 2-3 hours screen on time. I've tried underclocking, flashed custom roms, kernels, etc. But the battery still doesn't last me within the day. Not even until noon.
But I've been reading pretty good stuff about the Moto G and it's hardcore battery life.
I know that somehow I'm downgrading. I'll miss the slightly larger screen though. Also, I don't care about the camera, because I have my Canon EOS M with me which I can copy pictures to the phone via USB OTG.
Would it be worth it if I sell my HOX and get that one? Or do you have a phone to recommend me? I'm planning to get a Pebble smartwatch too if ever.
P.S. I'll be able to sell my hox for like $220-ish here in the Philippines. My cousin is in the US at the moment for the holiday season. So I have my way to get that phone.

Get a Moto G, it's really good.
Before I bought the Moto g I had the opportunity to buy a used One X. Same price I thought "get the newer Google Device".. Now having the moto g I am very happy with that! Get the Moto g.
The only thing that isn't good is the cam..

Few day's after getting Moto G, I got as gift Sony Xperia Z1, and as I prefer Moto G, the Z1 is still in box and I think I will not use it (too big, too heavy etc) at all, but as it's a gift, I also can't sell it.
If you cant sell it, give it as a gift to me, i will sell it and give you 40% of the price
Thanks for the tips! I'll be selling my HOX soon. Hopefully before Christmas.
Only phone I recommend over the moto g is the nexus 5
Sent from my XT1034 using Tapatalk
Hi. The moto g is the way to go so far the battery experience is much better than the nexus 4 the phone I used have and the nexus 4 is a beauty. 50 gigas in Google drive and I have run all the apps that I did in my nexus excepting a couple like gravity box and touch control (gravity box works OK in 4.3 but it doesn't in 4.4.2) the others work flawlessly. I have no experience with pebble but I have a sony smartwatch 2 and it works nicely with the moto g. So my advice based on my experience get the moto g. Besides those kind guys who are developing are working hard to allows to have those tweaks we love.

I also have the wifi fault with my HOX, and battery life was very terrible. I had to do lots of tweaks that compromises the performance of the phone to get more juice, but still has bad battery life.
I'm glad that I was able to sell my HOX for $220+ here in the Philippines, and got myself the Moto G plus a shell that my cousin will be bringing home from the US. Can't wait to get it!
I wasn't able to buy me a Pebble though. The $89 sale at Best Buy was done. Although They announced the Pebble Steel which IMO looks great and I'll try to save for that instead.
I hope I didn't make a bad choice. Battery life is really on my priority list, that's why I didn't try to save up for the Nexus 5.
I really really can't wait!

I got the Moto G after my One X stopped working. My research suggested that the One X, Nexus 4 and the Moto G were quite similar. In practise, it was similar to the One X, the differences that I've noticed:
The screen size is slightly smaller but not by much. You have quite large bezzels at the top and bottom - there is less screen space because there are no hardware buttons at the bottom as there were on the One X which I find annoying.
It seems to be a bit slower than the One X. Transitioning between apps can be a bit delayed at times.
The camera is significantly worse, but I prefer the camera app.
Battery life may be a bit better (I'm not sure to be honest). However, this may be because I am comparing to a one+ year old phone, and I had a problem with the wifi draining battery (but only with a particular router).
I also switched to CyanogenMod eventually, so the comparison may be slightly inaccurate.
For this price (and anything significantly higher), I would definitely recommend the phone.
I've had an Xperia L for at least 6 months now, but I'm really considering to sell it and buy a Moto G instead.
That's no question that the Moto G is a better phone, the only question is if it's worth selling my phone for ~$135 and paying an extra ~$70 for a used Moto G (but it's in a perfect condition).
70 bucks is not that much, but to me, as a student with no income it's enough money to consider what I spend it on.
I think I'm just curious if others would trade their phones or not, so I can reassure myself that I'm not doing something stupid, so would you rather buy a Moto G?

Absolutely. But I wouldn't pay extra.

I'm the opposite, I have an 8 GB SD card, and it's completely empty. I only use the space for the apps, since every picture/video I take is immediately uploaded to Dropbox, and I use Spotify for music. Apps only use 1 GB on my phone, so even a 4 GB Moto G (if it existed) would never be full in my case.
nope i wouldnt
It certainly is better in terms of performance. But the look and feel of Xperia makes me attracted to it. On the long run, I feel Xperia L would be better. It looks better, and feels better. And i love SONY apps! So, i wouldn't even think about exchanging for G
Xperia l as an overall phone beats the moto g. But performance wise the moto g wins up to you.

Exactly! Moto G might be higher on in terms of performance and updates. Same with most phones out there. SONY might be lagging on the updates. And we might have some real cool KK ROMS. Loads of KK ROMS. But nothing like STOCK! No matter how much i play around with those stuff, i tend to fall back on STOCK SONY. That just brings me up higher!
Thanks for your answers, but even though most of you would choose the Xperia L, I realized the Moto G is better for me.
I don't need a microSD slot, I don't particularly like the looks of XL (but I don't hate it either, I'm neutral on this one), I virtually don't use any of the Sony apps, even the launcher, the icons and the navigation bar buttons are changed by some 3rd party apps . But probably my biggest problem with XL is that I find it uncomfortable to hold, because its bottom is so sharp. Even after only using it for just a couple of minutes, it physically hurts my little finger.
It was a good phone, I had it since 2013 October, but the Moto G is more for me than the Xperia L.
Glad to hear that. Please do feel free to change. hope you have a good time with the new phone.
Yeah good luck with ur new phone I know that there are loads of custom ROMs available as well for the moto G

I managed to sell the XL for a little bit higher, so now I just have to pay $50 for the Moto G, maybe it's still too much money for not that much of an upgrade, but I also found a good used Moto G, and I'd only have to pay an extra 35 bucks for that, which sound much better than the original $70 extra.
And I'll never buy a Samsung, you don't have to worry about that one
Go for it mate. Motorola provides clean updates(yeah it's getting 4.4.3 already), and overall it's a great phone with great specs. The only thing that bothers me is the 5mp camera, other than that the phone's perfect, just my opinion. By perfect I mean, Moto, provides it with good updates and it's got great specs for an affordable price, so hell yeah!
Hello!
I currently own the Motorola Droid Ultra. I'm quite happy with it, but I want to upgrade.
There are quite a few new phones out there that are catching my attention, and after some extensive research I've come up that currently the best three phones are: iPhone 6, Galaxy S5, and HTC One m8. I'm not including the big devices, such as the Note or iPhone Plus. I don't really want a huge device, the 5 inch screens seems quite adequate for me. I would go for the LG G3, but I'm hearing they crack quite easily and I'm not big on covers.
The one other option is Droid Turbo, but I haven't been able to find a lot of conclusive information on it considering it's a recent release. At the moment, my choice is HTC One m8. It's a beautiful device. How does Turbo fare against it? Is it much better than the Droid Ultra?
Any and all opinions are appreciated.
Thank you.
Check out the Sony Z3. I've heard amazing things about it.

I love the looks of the Nexus and fear for the durability of the Turbo backing in 64gb Nylon.
Nexus is too big and the Turbo is in the big side as well.

Yeah the display is easily the best display I have ever seen and it is very snappy, but my maxx still looks good and its still very snappy. The turbo camera is also much much better. I'm hoping that the added raw support can add more to our cameras abilities. The extra pixels on our camera should make for very good images.
With the features coming in our lollipop update(better battery life, raw photo support) and moto updates that will bring us in line with the 2014 models it is becoming hard to justify the move right now.

I Currently have a Maxx with UL Bootloader (thank you Jcase) running 23.3.24 rooted. I'm still very happy with this phone. I was initially tempted by the Turbo, I think it's the best thing out right now and for a while to come...but I refuse to wait another 18 months to Unlock my Bootloader or get root, nor will I spend the cash on a Dev edition, if it even comes out. So I'm staying for now.
Is it worth it? I currently have a Moto X... but i hear there are a lot of problems with these phones. is it true?
This phone is really good, as you said some users has random issues, but if you didn't get those this is the best phone.

I do not think you would be making a mistake buying the OPO. The possibly only issues you might have are regarding service and a yellow stripe near the bottom but I have read that there are easy work-abouts for that. The features, feel, OS, build quality, performance are all superb.I have had a Samsung S2, S4 and Moto G (2013) and I am thrilled to have this. Also the battery life is superb - now down to 10% with over 46 hours since last charge and screen time of 5h 15m, 45 minutes voice calls and nearly 19 hrs Wifi on.
You should get the OPO, hands down. Most of the issues people have had with the device aren't even relevent anymore, as they have been fixed in software updates months ago. And I'm pretty sure that stuff like the yellow line doesn't even appear in the hardware anymore, and was only apparent in the first couple months. So you can safely ignore those complaints.
If you're comparing the Moto X and the OPO, be aware that the OPO actually has slightly superior specs. But, you know, that's not the best thing about this phone.
The OPO's XDA development scene is, in my opinion, the best thing about this device. Soooo many important developers have adopted the OPO as their next device, like FranciscoFranco and AK. You will see a lot of pleasantly suprised people in the forums, saying things like, "I remember you from the Nexus 4!" and, ”Yay, xxxx is here!”. No other recent device has the same support. Hell, the Moto X forums are a barren wasteland.
If you get an OPO, be prepared to have a lot of fun on the XDA forums. I know I am.
It is worth it. I would buy again.

Interesting that the G4/G4+ are missing from the list as well, many people thought it would get it. Glad I dumped my MXPE, just sold it yesterday for $180.

Yep. Kind of a given since the device release date was 24 months ago. I'm not mad though. I get by just fine with my mxpe for now. But I will be a little more picky with battery life next go around.
October 4th can't come soon enough!!!!

Did you sell it on Swappa? Just curious, I just got back a replacement from Moto Care and I am thinking of doing the same.
I guess it might as well be considered official that XT1575 will never see Nougat, either.

$180 eh... I'll be happy to get $100 for it when I'm done with it LOL This thing's insides must be melted by now and I'm surprised mine is still in working condition. I felt the screen today and it was hot enough to burn. It was really hot outside too. How do people in tropical countries use this phone??...

The 32GB model has recent sale average price of $171 on Swappa... I was asking $200 with 3 cases (2 never used, sealed).
Guys, I'm considering buying this phone after almost 2 years with Mot X 2014. My question is "how xda friendly is Moto X 2015?" Unlocking bootloader and flashing ROMs on Moto X 2014 was piece of a cake.
I'm on custom Android 7 based ROM now, performance is great and the only issue for me is storage. 16 Gb isn't sufficient.
Manually flashing custom Oreo ROM eventually on Moto X 2015 would be something I expect to do later next year... if I decide to buy it.
Muito Xt1575 not arrieved the 7.0 yet, the 8 only in dreams.
Android 8 custom roms is real future for moto pure ?
LoL i might buy new OnePlus 5 (soecial edition) which will be officially announced by next week
hope to see more Banger features in it

Nougat is still a little buggy for this device. Have no idea if it ever gets unofficial Oreo. Also, it's just a little old. Don't get me wrong, I'm using this phone, but if you want to buy another device, choose different model... from different company.

Noooo don't do it! D: What's your budget? There are better phones with better specs out there.

Unlocking the bootloader and flashing AICP nougat 7.1.2 was a piece of cake on my MXP, it supports unlocking the bootloader out of the box.

Honestly... Don't bother with a 2 year old device. If you like Moto, go Moto G5 Plus or G5S Plus, 3-4 times the battery life, equal performance, support for probably the next 18 months or so, etc. Or if your budget allows, go with something better, there are lots of options.
I would not buy another Pure, even if I could get a new one for under $100.

Yes, it's all about budget. I can't see right now things I need in a phone for 200 euro:
- nearly stock android
- amoled screen
- SD card support
- and I hate what Lenovo creates now under Moto logo.
Looks like I will need to resign myself to some the points above

Guys, thanks for the comments!

Well there's the Lenovo P2. LOL But it's hard to find phones with AMOLED screens at that price point. I was gonna say just go with the Mi A1 (LCD) when it comes down in price later this year because it's the best stock Android bargain you'll find. Why do you want OLED so bad anyway? The Moto X Style isn't OLED, but it's screen and colours are highly saturated, even for me. I think this is something most IPS panels can accomplish with the right settings. I have to say, though, the Moto's screen is really good for an IPS panel.

I was actually considering Mi A1 as a great option.
I love how OLED works with ambient display on my device. Experience of receiving notifications and unlocking the screen is addictive. When I see how my wife clicks power button each time on her Huawei P9, it looks like something from the past century
