Hi,
I'm deciding on which phone to buy and X pure is a good contender.
I am always using my phone as a flashlight and need a phone with a bright or at least descent flashlight.
Does anyone here have a X pure and anyone one of these other phones:
G5, G4, G3, 5X, S7, M5 and can tell me compared to X Pure which one is brighter?

Really?

I should add that all images were downsized to 5 MP to match the Moto G.
This is all old technology by now, and your milage will vary, but my general observations are as follows:
The Moto G has a pretty decent imaging processor. It's lens is rubbish, with lots of purple fringing and chromatic aberration, but it seemed to be consistently mediocre. Motorola seemed to attempt to make up for a lot of it's shortcomings by pumping up the saturation.
The Moto X has much better glass, but it's white balance shifted quite a bit, and seemed to favor the cooler spectrum of colors. It also seemed to underexpose images slightly, and was a bit on the low side when it came to saturation. At least for my taste. I couldn't help but feel that the hardware had much more potential than what the software offered.
The Galaxy S4 has excellent glass (lens), but it's camera software seemed to be very inconsistent - At least the T-Mobile variant. It handled white balancing the best, but seemed to overexpose images slightly, with an inconsistent saturation level.
All three phones seemed to have sloppy camera software, with hardware ranging from decent to excellent.

Sounds a little defensive there. Take another look and you'll see that the Moto X did best in low lighting, and retained more dynamic latitude detail than the S4. Aside from that, it's always interesting to compare devices and their abilities.

I am just talking about your moto x photo's capability..
I have pretty much at least one of every phone ever made in the last 3 years, and I love the Moto X camera. my wife has an S4, I have an S5. While both have higher resolution the Moto X seems to be a much more stable sensor. Specifically, its much more forgiving of motion, low light, etc. The Galaxy phones seem to work best when its posed like a portrait.
How bright is the display in comparison to the Moto X 2014? I've read quite a few reviews and some say the Style isn't as bright as the old model? Anyone also been able to compare the display brightness to the Moto X Play? I have a X Play and find it very good in bright sunlight as it seems go very bright. More so in comparison to the old 2014 X which I found quite dim and difficult to see on bright days. Thanks.
I had the 2014 Moto X, live in South Africa (sunny as hell) and from my experience the new Style is definitely better in direct sunlight. I've not seen the Play yet though.

Ok, thanks.
I have to add that I just came from motorolas version of a nexus being the Moto x pure and I immediately had way more interest when i got my hands on the N5x.
Regardless of the Moto x specs 21mp cam and ram .... I get better pic quality by far even with only a 12.2 mp camera better keyboard response better feel with screen size more unique development and mods available and easier root etc...
Anyone agree coming from a Moto x ?

I fully agree!
I was switching the devices too and I'm far more "impressed" by the N5x, than I was when I unboxed my Moto X Style/Pure. Impressive Cam, very light, perfect size (at least for me), the battery stats (getting up to 6 SoT with Custom Kernel and deactivated encryption). I'm pretty happy with the switch and I'm not regretting it one bit.

Moto Display is much better than ambient display. It's one killer feature for Moto.

True.
Switched from moto x pure to N5X 3 week's ago. Was a bit hesitant because of the smaller battery and the 2gb ram on it. Somehow everything on the N5X feels right... The camera, the fingerprint sensor, the size and weight. I bought the moto x thinking I was done with rooting and modding my phone's but I was wrong. I enjoy playing with it too much and the dev support on the moto was just not strong enough for me. Indeed moto display does work better but then again...the N5X does have a LED on it. Getting 4 to 5hrs SOT on both phones and no lag so far....I'm really happy I made the switch!
Nexus 5X V Moto X Pure
I was considering between the two and decided to go with the 5X mainly because of the screen size and Nexus branding. Although, I was really on the fence about it because of the Moto X's superior memory (3GB vs 2GB) and video stabilization. In the end I am glad to hear the opinion of someone who has had experience with both #TeamNexus
I also sold my 2015 Moto X Pure Edition for the Nexus 5X. I would have probably kept it if it weren't for the size. Moto Display is better than Ambient Display, but they both suck on LCD screens. All of the Moto features were quite nice and added more value to the phone than most ROM features (IMO). It was near prefect but was too big and heavy for me. I probably wont ever own another "Moto" phone now that Motorola is now dead.
FWIW, before I got my smart watch I enjoyed a feature on Light Manager that would wake the screen up whenever I got a notification.
I've gone back an forth between both devices a few times and here are my thoughts. Battery life on the moto X is better. The Moto does not have input lag, where it can make the 5x at times very frustrating to use. You can certainly feel the difference that extra gig of ram makes. The nexus has the far superior camera and usability from a size stand point. I love the size and weight of the 5x. For me, in the end it was the moto x. I like the expandable memory and smooth operation of the device. The moto features are also a huge plus for me as I drive a lot in my job. Hope this helps.
Hello all,
Would the Moto X Style be a good upgrade from my current Motorola Nexus 6, or would it be pretty much a wash?
Much thanks.
I had a Nexus 6 (dropped it, screen shattered) and got x style now. I'd say keep the Nexus. Dev community is much bigger. Screen too . Of course the style/pure is a nice device, and dev activity is picking up. It fits better in the pants too
Thanks, I'll stick with the Nexus for a while
In my oppinion amoled colors are too punchy and white is too cold.
Moto X is a little bit faster when opening apps. Tested side by side.
only if you need better camera
Snapdragon 625 vs 808. Performance is supposed to be great on G5 Plus since Moto skin is very light, close to stock. Camera I am guessing about the same as G4? Same hardware as Galaxy S7 without ois and camera software not as advanced. The Moto G5 Plus might be the best unlocked phone for folks on Verizon since Google cannot keep the Pixel in stock. I currently have the G4 which has bootlooped once, now have a refurb, and considering an upgrade (this or LG G6).
First of all, G6 is the obvious choice between all the phones...
Second, I'm using a LGG4 and my wife uses G5 Plus.
On 2D usage, the Moto is way way more snappy, it's just a speedy little demon. The 3D performance though, is obviously and clearly noticeable better on the G4 (and its not that great, either).
Camera is also way better on the G4, no matter what (sharpness, color reproduction, overall quality, focus, HDR). G4 doesn't have 1080 60fps in the stock app though. Plus, it's true the G4 has OIS, but that thing is just plain horrible, lots of wibbles and motion sickness inducing stabilization.
Screen resolution and quality is hell if a lot better on the G4, too. The color reproduction and sharpness are just ridiculous (although it tends to have some temporary burn-ins after some time).
Battery is way better on the Moto; probably because it's bigger, and 1080p screen, and a newer and better Android version. The 625 is inherently more power efficient.
I'll think of some more comparisons, hit me up if you want to know more.
I was thinking to switch from LG G4, thank you for the info.
EDIT: How much is the camera quality different?
