You don't expect a smartphone at this price to struggle with everyday tasks, and, mercifully, the Moto X Play didn't prove to be aberration. The smartphone comes with the quad octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC along with 2GB of RAM, and we didn't experience any lags with our unit. Games like Asphalt 8 ran smoothly without any problems.
We received a 32GB unit of the Moto X Play, which had 25.45GB of user-accessible storage. There's a lower priced 16GB variant as well, but given the minimal price difference between the two, you'd be better off opting for the one with more built-in storage. If you can't, worry not as the Moto X Play supports both microSD ( up to 128GB) and USB OTG storage expansion options.
