Motorola Moto X Play review: Crowd pleaser

Web browser and other apps

Google Chrome is unsurprisingly the default browser in the new Moto X Play. Its design matches the material look and feel of Android Lollipop.

One of the Chrome's strengths is its ability to seamlessly sync with the desktop version, using nothing but your Google account. This allows you to open an article on your PC and finish reading it on your mobile phone. It also syncs your bookmarks and favorite sites.

The usual organizing tools are present as well - there is the massively capable Google Calendar, a neat Calculator, and Clock (alarms, world clock, timer, stopwatch). Oddly, there's no file manager app on board you'd have to get one yourself.

Google's highly capable Office package of Docs, Sheets and Slides comes preinstalled, as well as Keep and Google Maps and Navigation.

Connect is a tool that helps you stay in charge of whatever Motorola accessories you have paired to the phone, and the list includes a Moto 360 smartwatch, headphones, the Keylink, and a powerbank.
