I bought my moto x play from flipcart.But I always had problems with the 21 camera of it.It never did focus itself and produced visible grains and photos and videos taken after Zooming was a pain to watch.I also have an mi4i which i think is cheaper but a superior camera even though on paper moto cam is said to overtake it.Pictures taken with flash on had an orange colour. It really heats up and when I asked their approved service center they said It might be the problem with board.I think it just have its presence on paper only

A million thanks to Flipkart for the rapid delivery, booked on Wednesday and delivered next day early morning. Besides they have special discount of Rs.2000 off which is a fair good price for the device with specÂÂ’s in above the mid-range devices. Got it for 17999
Overall for a use of a week, i wish to share my experience which will help for the moto x play seekers. Ofcourse this too have its own pros and cons.
Pros:
1. OCTO core processor with 2GB RAM, I havenÂÂ’t experienced any lags no matter I used for various purpose of gaming, browsing and watching videos. Though it has 2GB RAM but the performance is great.
2. Brilliant display with 403PPI, the resolution and production of colors is very impressive.
3. Call clarity is good and audible without any distortion.
4. Front camera shoots amazing selfies, with good clarity only in good lighting and outdoors.
5. Rear camera of 21MP shoots very well and the best part is, the captured pic can be zoomed at max.
6. Good battery life for a day and half with moderate usage.
Cons:
1. It does warm up while camera in use, playing video above 5 mins, playing hi-graphix games, but this is normal in any smart phones. It really doesnÂÂ’t heats up but only gets warm.
2. The inbuilt camera app is very basic and to have better experience I use perfectly clear app and cameringo+ app.
3. I really doubt this has 21MP as the shots are not really of any 21MP should be. Moreover, if u select to shoot in 21MP the display is only 4:3 and for widescreen it has option of 16:9 which downgrades to 16MP only.
4.Indoor and by flash doesnÂÂ’t produce a good picture, but a very average quality picture.
5.This is based out of pure google user interface and it is not impressive and I have to download go-launcher for customized attractive interface.
6.There is no default LED notification in all the devices manufactured in India. But yes you may try to tweak by installing from playstore (Moto Led For Moto X & E) but again after installing you have to root it which is not worth doing this. As the LED notification blinks only for the Storge R/W, Blink when charging, connected with pc, adapter charging, battery charging, battery full, battery charging full and this are all the options available.
7.AMOLED display is missing, if they could have added with additional of 2k more.
8. To listen to music, the speakers are not that great or loud. But yes it has good clarity if you use a good handsfree.
Final Verdict: If you plan to purchase smartphone with range of 15-20k then i recommend only Moto x play 32GB, than any of samsung or sony xperia variants in same price range.
Moto X play is really a good device.

AnonD-404093, 18 Jan 2016Can Moto X Play 16 GB play GTA San Andreas in Max settings after Android M? Also is there any ... moreI must confess sometimes it does heat up; but cools down quickly especially at the time of updating apps or playing games using 4g Network. Never seen problems while using Wifi. May be 615 processor is not that good to handle gaming performance after all its a entry level chipset with 1.7 ghz which I feel is a bit over clocked as other brands are using the same chipset with lesser clocking speed around 1.5 ghz or less. I feel a quad core with >2 ghz speed along with a good GPU is better suited for graphics and gaming needs.

chris, 17 Jan 2016Should i update to 6?You don't need to as there is no real difference in battery and how it looks between 5.x and 6.0 (I think about it as minor update, not whole new system), but after update performance seems to be better, they add possibility to edit Notification tiles (but there isn't many options to choose from) and it's safer, 'coz they added all safety updates from Google.

AnonD-483287, 17 Jan 2016As told by many people, is the battery drain after marshmallow update negligible as compared t... moreFor me it's comparable. I got almost 10h screen on time with 3,5 day in Lollipop and now 8,5h with 3 days on Marshmallow (however here from 88% nor 100%, 'coz I was updating on battery), so even if it's worse, the difference is almost imperceptible.

GTA SA works, not sure if on Max details, as I prefer to have game always playable on Low, than even rare lags, so didn't even tried.
If You want me to check it, just write an answer here.

Anonymous, 17 Jan 2016Its support all high graphics games with out lagYes it supports hd / high graphic games at low performance setting. But after the Marshmallow update the gaming performance has improved drastically. U can also set the performance to mid without finding any lags in the game.
