Here are some of my initial impressions of this phone :
Pros:
(i) Looks : I don't bother about the measurements in numerical values as they can be deceptive..Hold this phone for once and feel how ergonomically beautiful and comfortable it is in your hands!! It's textured back panel gives it a classy look..Even after having a 5.5 inch screen and weighing 169 grams it doesn't feel that big nor that bulky..One hand operation is entirely possible with this 5.5 inch phablet..
(ii) Screen : I really find it amusing when people say "Why Moto X doesn't have 2K screen?" I challenge them to show a single pixel on the screen and I would lose my Moto X Play to them..Again, I request don't go by number games, see the quality..Screen is perfect..IPS LCD screen may not be as bright or as vibrant as AMOLED, but it does has it's own merits..Colours look natural..Black is perfectly black and white also appears natural..Readability under direct sunlight is good..
(iii) Call Quality : I won't write much in this regard..With any smartphone in this range you will definitely get good call quality and Moto X Play is not an exception..
(iv) Speaker Volume : It has a single firing speaker on the front..Don't expect it to perform like Home Theaters.. For all practical purposes it's sound is loud and clear..
(v) Performance : Hmmmm...I have seen many "REVIEWS" lambasting Moto X Play for having SD 615 chip set and "just" 2 GB of RAM..I really find it funny when people start giving specifications much more value compared to real world experience..There may be tens of phones providing better specifications at this price range, but the performance which you get from this phone is just awesome..I am not saying that it is the best performing smartphone, but for a smartphone under 25K, it performs more than enough..I have installed as many as 23-24 applications including some high end games, but the phone has yet to show even a slightest hint lag..I played Real Racing 3 with almost 20 applications running in background (I did it purposefully to check the phone's capability) and the experience was buttery smooth..
After prolonged use, it gets warm but heated?? Hell NO!!!
(vi) Camera : Camera interface is simple..It doesn't have a long list of controls..But it is rather helpful for ameture like me who doesn't get confused between hundreds of options while taking a snapshot..
Rear facing 21MP camera doesn't need any review..It is really a very good camera producing very true colours and great details..However OIS would have made it even better..But surely the phone has best camera for below 30K range smartphones..
Front facing 5MP camera also take great snaps..It has a unique technology that screen gets lit up while taking selfie in low light..It makes selfies better than other 5MP front cameras like that on Lumia 730..
(vii) Battery : I won't comment much on this aspect as of now as I am still exploring it..However I found on moderate usage it can easily give 36 Hours backup..
(viii) Software Updates : Being a Motorola phone one can be sure of timely software updates..Android Marshmallow will be there for Moto X Play as early as December this year.Just compare this with any Samsung or Chinese brands like Xiaomi, Asus etc..
(ix) Touch less Control : Unique feature of Moto X series and Moto X Play is no exception..It may seem like a "not so useful" feature, but it really makes smartphone smart..Use it to feel it..
Cons: Not many to say..Just OIS in rear facing camera would have made it even better..
Conclusion : A large, bright beautiful screen, ergonomic design, excellent camera, smooth performance, good battery backup and timely software update makes this phone as a Complete Smartphone..If one is really wishing to have a smart experience of a smartphone under 20K, Moto X Play is certainly the best choice..

Moto x play does not allow you to turn off the data connection. Can anyone suggest something? The moment you are out of WiFi range, the 4G resumes. Can't block it.

Lacks of features(If u are comparing with Samsung J7/ One plus one/ any other phone with same budget). Dont attract with its 21 MP camera, Buy 21 MP camera instead :)
