The bezel around the phone feels like metal but it is not clarified yet if it is Metal, To me it seems like really hard plastic used which gives feeling of metal. The back panel is user replaceable but battery is not removable, under that you will get 2 sim slots and microsd slot also. The back panel is textured and gives a lot better grip then xiaomi redmi note 3 I used. The phone is very slim.
Hardware-
-
The phone is powered by Snapdragon 617 chipset with adreno 405 GPU and coupled with 3 GB RAM, FOR POWER USERS I RECOMMEND 3 GB ALWAYS. The processor is an octacore but it is using same old A53 cores . Motorola says they have optimized the OS acc. to chip and there will be smooth experience and yes I experienced zero lag in my usage.
Camera-
-
Camera is a strong selling point here, Nothing comes close to this camera at this price. I used Redmi note 3 for 2 weeks but was not satisfied by the camera at all so very first day I ordered this phone and Believe the camera is brilliant on this thing. Laser assist autofocuses like crazy fast and that 16 MP sensor produces much natural Pictures compared to others, Lens used is f2.0 apperture and Produces crisps Bokeh effects.
I will be adding Camera samples by tonight also. In low light performance it just destroys the redmi note 3 . The front facing camera is very wide and does performs quite well in low light also.
Software -
-
The phone runs Android MM 6.0 out of the box which gives it a plus point as compared to other in this range .The UI is as stock as it gets. I was using MIUI for past 2 weeks on Note 3 and I have to say there is nothing Like Stock Android Experience. Other than that MOTOROLA HAS PROMISED UPGRADE FOR ANDROID N AND ANDROID O and that was another main point which made me buy this over RN3.
Battery-
-
The battery inside is 3000 mAh and gets the job done can't say much about it as I am still testing it and will update within few days. TURBOCHARGER is another thing that you don't get with others. It gets fully charged within 1 hour and 40 minutes, And you get Turbocharger inside the box.
Fingerprint scanner-
-
The fingerprint scanner is on the front. Now it is personal preference for that. I personally like it at the front as opposed to at Back.
It unlocks the phone in a blink and is better than RN3 I would say in some cases . Don't get me wrong here RN3 scanner is also superfast but due to some bugs the scanner sometimes freezes and you have to unlock it manually.
Overheating-
-
Yes the Heating problem is there with Snapdragon 617 Chip, you will only notice heating while charging, gaming and camera use.While my normal usage I was not experiencing any major heating.
