The price is only about $100 more given you keep storage options about the same.
The only downside I see to the Nexus 6P is no SD slot and it costs more. I originally wanted the Moto X since it was affordable, has SD storage and was 5.7inches. The Nexus seems to be a better option with the only downside being no SD storage and it's a bit more expensive, although in my opinion AMOLED is a better screen choice than LCD so the Nexus has that going for it too, and a bigger battery....... Here is what I "think" I know after watching the event.
Nexus 6P
Pros:
USB-C
Larger battery 3450mah vs 3000 mah on the X
Faster software updates
Marshmallow preinstalled
AMOLED screen
Cons:
A little more expensive
no SD card slot.
Moto X Pure(Style)
Pros:
Cheaper
SD Card Slot
Cons:
LCD screen as opposed to AMOLED
Smaller battery 3000mah vs 3450mah
micro USB vs USB-C
Is anyone else struggling with this?
I was struggling until about 3 minutes ago when I ordered a 128GB graphite 6P. I'm honestly still not convinced I actually need to upgrade from my current Nexus 6. Heck I was even going to hold out hope that there might be a DROID with a fat battery and unlockable bootloaders. I love Motorola and their signal is amazing and I'm hoping this is comparable. This will be my 3rd Nexus and my current one is my 4th Motorola. Neither have done me wrong so far. I wish it had a wireless charger but I guess turbo charging is making that obsolete and I have to accept it. Ultimately I said screw it and ordered one. But I used the amex just in case lol.

You have to see what type of amoled they put on this. Nexus 6 had amoled but it was crappy amoled.

That's a good point for sure, I just generally feel like most AMOLED's now a days are brighter and crisper than an LCD, plus they are easier on the battery.

From my experience, only amoleds used on samsung flagships are the best. When other manufacturers use amoled, samsung never gives them the top of the line amoled, that's why I believe is best for other manufacturers to go with lcd. Hopefully this amoled is power efficient and has good colors/angels etc.

I think the nexus 5x would be a better comparison.
Big con for the Moto X Pure(Style), for me is they do not sell it in Canada.
I was on the fence between Moto X Pure, iPhone 6s Plus and Nexus 6p.
Moto X Pure lacks accessories. Almost nothing projected from major case manufacturers.
iPhone 6s Plus on IOS9 has no jailbreak, which means no tethering for me since I have Verizon Unlimited.
Nexus 6p like the iPhone gets dinged for no removable storage, but offer 128GB, which I can live with.
I bought a graphite Nexus 6p.

The 6P and moto x are more alike than the moto x and 5x.
No fingerprint scanner on the motox right?
I already own a 64gb, black leather, red accented Moto X Pure, so I'm now debating on selling it and buying the Nexus 6P. Biggest reason why, development on XDA. I'm worried the 6p will over shadow the MXP and fewer developers will put time into releasing roms/mods for the MXP.
I'd love to hear feedback from those that do create roms and extra features for devices. I have no other complaints for the MXP, just fear of its support dying very early.
I had the MXP, but returned it a few days ago. I just wasn't impressed. I'm glad I did, now that I ordered a graphite Nexus 6P.

I am saying there is lots of hype for development on nexus devices, but since nexus 4, there hasn't been much going on. The days when Paranoid Android team was developing and Moles was with them used to be great. From what I recall a few other teams developed last year, but they didn't bring nothing new.

My pure is going back to Motorola. Plenty of complaints to read on their forums. OPO until my big P comes in.
I like the XPE but in returning mine as well. The only minus to the 6P is the sd slot and some of the moto features but I gain amoled (which is important to me coming from a note 3), bigger battery, fingerprint scanner and notification led! Also price wise isn't much difference when configured similarly. My XPE with 32gb and wood back was $503 shipped. The 64gb 6P was $583, what I get for the price difference is worth it in my book.
The XPE is a good phone but it's just not the phone for me. As someone else said, the development for the 6p will be huge in comparison to the Motorola. Spigen isn't making any cases for the XPE and neither are many accessory makers. I think the 6P will get all the love I'd hoped the Motorola would get so back it goes!
Avoid Moto, their customer service sucks, it's awful experience dealing with them..
I'm torn right now. I want a bigger battery and the camera on the 6P seems better. But I really like Moto Display and Moto assist.
Mine is going back.
Development is going to be far superior on the Nexus. This is huge just by itself.
Amoled screen
Finger print is nice with lastpass and bank apps
Only $50 more with the play credit
Fast updates which with Leno gutting Moto no telling what will come
I'm not happy with the performance or the battery life on the Pure
Nexus has a larger battery and is tweaked for M
Camera is reported to be better on the Nexus than the pure
Better performance on the GPU and heat issues are a non factor
https://www.androidpit.com/snapdragon-810-vs-808-is-8-cores-really-better-than-6
So for $50 why exactly am I going to settle for the Pure? I won't.
I think if the Pure had come out a few months ago things might be a little different. They waited too long and the Nexus is just a better device. Add to that the shipping issues and pushing people's 14 days into the nexus announcement and well you get what you get. I'm glad mine took so long to ship now. I'm not getting stuck holding this turkey when everyone in 3 months is still asking where their Roms and updates are.
Going back, either getting a Nexus 6 64GB for $340 plus tax and saving $155 (32gb, wood back, sd card...all three total $495 plus tax) or spending an extra $5 for a 32 GB Nexus 6P
also lucked out that my phone shipped on the 15th so today is day 14
That's what she said.
I am struggling to see how to justify the extra $100 dollars for the 6p when the xpe beats it in several different areas. And people really shouldn't talk crap about the camera on the 6p because its also speculative at this point. But we already know the camera on the xpe is getting stellar reviews.

Only why I'm even considering the nexus 6P is because of the amoled and battery size. Other than dont care for the other features including the fingerprint. Definitely like the looks of the moto x better. Still deciding. Hmmm
Keeping my Mxp. That phone is ugly with the camera hump. I don't really care about the fingerprint scanner. Camera on my Mxp is good enough for my needs. The form factor on the Mxp is great, it is the perfect size. The Nexus 6P looks as big as the Nexus 6. Coming from a Nexus 6, I don't want a form factor like that anymore. With the sd card slot, I haven't streamed any media or music on the Mxp and that saves on a lot of data. Battery life is ok, but with the quick charger it is a non-issue.
Anybody know how much the uk 6p will retail for? I'm going to return mine when it eventually arrives
Just found out that CA residents have up to 30 days for return! Not that I want to... I like the look and my design of the MXPE, but the battery is disappointing somehow... still deciding.

The camera for the 6p has been reviewed by DXOmark.
http://www.dxomark.com/Mobiles
It comes in #2 behind the S6 Edge.
Beats all others including the style.
Thursday will be 2 weeks since my Moto was delivered, I am definitely keeping it. For my usage this, phone is perfect.
Sent from my Moto XPE
Keeping mine as well since I had a best buy gift card to purchase this device.
If the nexus 6P ends up being sold at best buy then my decision changes again lol.
I was considering the pure but I see there is no roms yet. Seems a bit behind compared to the new moto g. The 6p will probably be my next device IF I can finance it through T-Mobile.
my 30 day return period is up like Oct 25 from Amazon... and I'm hearing the nexus phones aren't even shipping until November? yeah, i think I'll hang on to this bad boy for a bit, and wait to read reviews on the 6p with that steamy hot 810 in it, and who knows about huwai build quality or who's screen they use... if it's not samsung amoled, or its like previous gen samsung amoled like Motorola used to get, then no thanks, I'd rather have this LCD.
if i end up wanting it, I'll just get it and either sell the moto or hang on to it who knows.

Already pre-ordered 6P. Some of Moto's features that set the XPE apart are now coming to both Nexuses (quick camera access, wake up when picking it up). I can't even get 3 hours SOT with the XPE. :-/ I'm also thinking of N and O releases. My X1 just got 5.1. And the nexus will have ROM support long after that. Sorry Moto, I'm outta here.

Don't forgot no sd card slot
I don't trust the Huawei brand, and since the NX5 is limited to 32gb, I'm keeping the MXP. Sure, it won't have the development that nexus devices do, but I'm confident we'll see enough to keep me happy.
I'm keeping my Moto X, looks better, does everything I want, cheaper... If I change my mind down the road we will see but they packed almsot the same stuff in a larger form factor. Who knows how it will preform either. Also if you watch the 5X hands on from android athority it sure looked like it was having mis touch issues like the G4 has... I really hope it was because he missed the screen looking through his camera cuz that is what led me to ditch the G4 and if it moved to the nexus device... watch out! At least patches will be quicker.
6P:
Pros over the X:
-Finger print reader
-USB Type C
-All metal design
-Faster
-maybe a better camera (wait for reviews)
-Quick updates from google for years to come
-Better development
-Battery is bigger and already has android M
-AMOLED (bright, battery saving
Cons:
-Larger
-huge bezels
-All metal design (yes I added it also as a con because it could get very hot and get scratches/dings easy)
-Weird black bump thing
-Unproven manufacturer
-Cost a bit more (not too bad)
-AMOLED (BURN INNNNNNNSSSSSSSS)
-No wireless charging
Moto X:
Pros:
-Cheaper
-More customization from Moto maker
-Possible faster charger
-LCD (yes I like LCD over AMOBURNIN )
-Gestures to launch camera and flashlight already have me hooked
-Simmer bezels
-Already in my hand no waiting
-Proven front facing speakers that work well
-some water proofing
Cons:
-No wireless charging
-No fingerprint reader
-LCD has horrible blacks, even compared to the G4 :-/
That's all I have. I would like to reserve full judgement until I see this thing in real life and maybe I will jump, but for now I'm happy
Now that I have my pure in I can say 100% it's going back. My opo is better and I'd keep it over the pure. I can't get over how bad battery life is using chrome or maps. The build quality also feels cheap and I see lots of micro lag that I didn't see as much even in the opo. I'm very disappointed in the pure.
Going back to Motorola and waiting on the nexus p.
I have a Nexus 6p that's due to arrive Thursday. I've been using the Moto X pure for the past 3 weeks and it's been a great experience. Do those of you who switched from the Moto to the 6p have any regrets? I can see pros and cons for both phones but not having experienced the 6p, I'm just going off reviews.
Moto has better speaker quality
Moto has more stable video when recording
Brighter screen on Moto
Both cameras are great in outdoor light, Moto is worse in low light
6p is slightly faster in day to day use but the difference is almost negligible/non existant in mkst apps (is this true?)
Battery life is close (I get 4.5-5 hours SOT on my Moto with minimal drain when idle)
Fingerprint reader for 6p
6p is better for gaming with the Adreno 430 vs 418
Updates for 6p are faster, Motorola seems to be losing favor with people.
SD slot for Moto
Anyhow, it almost seems a wash to me. I'm thinking of refusing delivery on the 6p for a refund. I'd appreciate it if you'd share your experiences with both phones.
6P has a Snapdragon 810 which is actually a GIANT improvement in terms of performance and heat generation to the 801 in the Moto.
Moto X Pure has less LTE bands therefore slightly less travel friendly if you go out of the US.

I had a Moto X Pure that I returned within the 14 day window to get a 6P. I've had my 6P for 3 days now and there is no comparison. The 6P is better in almost every way for me. The only thing I miss about the Moto is the leather back and the IR sensor based screen wake up.

I too returned my Moto X within the 14 day return window for the 6P. So far the 6P is miles better. Plus the fast security updates is a big plus in my book. The lack of good cases for the 6P currently sucks but it was worse with the Moto X. Going to USB C stinks as now I have a ton of micro USB cables I can't use unless I get an adapter. USB C is better for future proofing though. With the price range so close, I am definitely happier with the 6P. The fingerprint scanner is awesome and works way better than the Note 5 I had. It's nice to be able to use on my text messaging app (EvolveSMS) so my kids can't accidentally send a message. Battery seems the same if not better to me.
Nice, thanks for the replies. I'm within the return window with Amazon myself. How is the speed comparison? Do you notice much, if any difference?
I did the same thing... Returned my Moto X Pure withing the 14 day window. I have not received my 6p yet, should be here next week. Using a OnePlus2 until then (hate it - FYI).
I'd like to know what you guys think of the speaker comparison between the two? I went from a M9 to the Moto X Pure and liked the MXP better.... How do the speakers on the N6P compare to the MXP?
I returned my Pure for the 6P and don't regret it one bit. The only thing I miss from the Pure is Motos software. Ambient display kind of sucks on the 6P. I also miss moto assist. Other then that I'm in love with the 6P. The battery is way better for me. I got 5 1/2 hours of sot the other day on the 6P and it lasted all day. With the Pure it was dead with about 3 hours of sot and didn't last the whole day. The cameras are both good in good light but the 6P comes out on top in worse lighting which is more important. Most people take pictures inside in not the best lighting. The Pure was easier to hold though.

Nice, thanks. I don't play games either. Think I'm probably gonna stick with the pure as it can only improve once it gets marshmallow.
I had the pure and returned it. The P is the hands down better device. I get about 50% better battery life all things equal with the P than the pure. The P is also smoother. The pure had a lot of micro lag in places that drove me nuts. Moto has a spotty history now with updates I don't trust them with Lenno pulling the strings.
There is no comparison between the devices the P is better hands down.
I got my 6P last night and I still have my moto x.
The 6P looks better. It is just beautiful. I do miss the LCD screen. There is a huge difference between LCD and AMOLED. I've always preferred LCD. The cartoonish colors are very pretty but there is something about the natural LG G4 screen that IMO beats all other screens. The moto x had a great display but the blacks are horrible. But the moto is SOOO much brighter than the 6P. It's like overkill in brightness lol. If you prefer AMOLED screens there is no reason why you shouldn't switch.
The 6P is SOO smooth. No hiccup or anything. Just android as it should be. Now this isn't fair to compare the moto x to it yet because it is still on lollipop. My wife's 5X is smooth and has the same proc so I have no reason to believe the moto wont be smooth on Marshmallow (unless the 2k display is what is causing the lag). So all the comments above comparing the two... sorry but it is apples to oranges at this point
I'm on my first charge so it isn't fair but my moto x did about the same if not better with battery. Of course this will change after a few charge cycles so I will reserve judgment on that. Moto X has been a beast with battery for me .
I have both devices still so ask any questions.
FWIW this is still a test drive and will be a hard choice. Both are outstanding.

I've had the same experience with the X battery. I go through a 12 hour day with moderate usage and don't dip below 50% ever. Maybe I'll have to test drive the 6P. I like LCD but you are right about the blacks on the pure, even though they don't bother me anymore. My concerns are really the 808 processor on the pure and the size of the 6p. For being a phablet, the pure is so comfortable in one hand. Ugh, can't win. Lol. Or maybe it's a win either way.
For me OS security updates trump everything else. You can only get that with Nexus devices. Motorola seems to be getting worse rather than better when it comes to updates, unfortunately.
Love me or hate me for my answer:
Worth.

Yeah it is hard. I make up my mind until I pick up the other device again and then I'm back to doubting
Well it looks like my Note 7 is heading back for a second time. With that being said. I don't want to sink another 800 on a phone while I wait for what ever version of the note comes out next. I think I'm going to either pick up NEW 64 gig pure with tax comes out to 370.00 Or some lightly used to new nexus 6p's around 400-450. So I understand the hardware differences etc. I have seen some people complaining about the lack of updates for the X. I'll be passing this phone down to one of kids, so I have some questions is the bootloader unlocked on these so we can tinker and get the latest updates before waiting for MOTO to release them. Also does anybody have any opinions on the 2 devices preferable if you have some time behind both. Thanks for the advice.

6p guarantee to get next Andy build next year with monthly security update ,moto x I'm pretty sure nougat is the last major update for us and whatever security update they leave us stranded with ..don't get me wrong I like my moto x but when i made the choice price range did play an important factor .heck even the 5x sounds good .I would consider 6p to 5x then moto x pure
I think that the Nexus 6P is a better device.... But SLIGHTLY. I've owned both phones several times over the past year, and my honest opinion is that the Moto has more functionality than the stock 6P with similar display and speakers. The camera is also great! And by the way the battery was better on the Moto than the 6P for me. There were times that the 6P also felt too big for a 5.7 device, the Moto although same screen size is smaller overall. I also care for the expandable memory, either way you can't go wrong. I'm commenting on here because i was just on the same exact boat. I bought mine (Moto X) from Swappa for $220 with 3 cases and original box, the 6P I could've gotten for $320 but i just don't want to carry around a huge device anymore. I'm giving my Note 5 to my wife and rolling with the Moto X until the Pixel XL drops in price (6 more months). Until then I'm OK with the same specs and features as the 6P but at a smaller form and price. Good luck.
i almost bought a 6p today untill i feel screen is kinda pinkish.
As a Moto X Pure owner, I honestly recommend you to buy a Nexus device. Lenovo is leaving behind the older Moto devices, we don't have the support we used to have under Google ownership... Also, while there are very good developers for this device, ROMs are far away of the ones for Nexus 6P (remember that that's a developers targeted device). Greetings!
moto doesn't bend
Owned both devices for a while, each being a daily driver at the time. Development is great for both, and I do miss the QC 2 on the Moto, but coming from an S5 (and a razr maxx before that), I'm totally a fan of the OLED screen which pulls me hard to the 6p. Performance increase of the 810 vs 808 is noticeable, but neither is a slouch and both handled my heavy load without much protest. If you have any more detailed questions about either, PM me.
Cheers.
My note 7 is recalled onece again so I'm looking for an interim replacement that won't break the bank in the interim until the next note comes out.
With that being said. I'm familiar with the Hardware differences between the 2, and some of the software tweaks. I can get a New 64gig MXP for 360.00 or I'm looking for a 64 gig 6p around 450-500 for a new one. Used around about 50-75.00 less. With that being said, this device will get passed along to a family member. So any advice would be appreciated. From what I read the mxp will get nougat some time this year and probably will be the last one for it.
Thanks in advance.

That's a tough call. Despite the greater specs on the 6p, I really can't tell a performance difference, but that might change as software gets more demanding. The 6p's camera is way better. Most would agree the Motorola's look and feel is better on the outside and the slightly smaller size is more comfortable to hold.

Hi have had both, had to return my x pure twice for screen defeats.
But as it relates to both, the pure feels much better in the hand, the performance difference is somewhat noticeable, but not night and day between it and the 6p.
The pure has sd card storage
Plus moto display, is the single best feature on any phone imo, you don't realize how great it is until you are not using it
Good camera, comparable to most top flight camera in good lighting, a joke of a camera in poor lighting.
6p
Pros
Finger print scanner
AMOLED screen
Faster updates.
Better camera.
Cons
Too big, other manufacturers manage to put a similar screen in a smaller body.
No sd card
Build on Janerd's response:
Moto X Pros:
Way smaller in hand
Screen is way brighter
Screen is much more visible with polarized sunglasses
Speakers are richer
Moto actions
Better camera app (way more one-hand-able based off of the UI)
Cons:
Even though they both have the same amount of ram, the Moto dumps its cache way more frequently. Chrome tabs reloaded ALL THE TIME.
It's noticeably slower than the SD 810.
In my eyes, if the X had been released with the SD810, or even the SD805, it would have been near flawless.

You can check Amazon warehouse deals for both those phones, I picked up my nexus 6p 64gb for 340 back in July. I have had both and that SD 808 is a weak spot on the mxpe. Still a good value though. I'll be sticking with my nexus 6p for the time being.

Had x style three times. Great phone. But different between x pure is void guarantee after unlock bootloader. Anyway speed, smooth,energomy, speakers is fantastic. I change it for Nexus second time because i love Nexus and outstanding xda community
