Motorola is stepping up its phone game with the Moto X Style (called Moto X Pure Edition in the U.S.).
The third-generation Moto X has improvements across the board: bigger and higher resolution display, larger battery, microSD card slot, and most importantly, huge camera improvements.
But how does it stack up against the competition?
We crunched the numbers and put them all into an easily digestible chart. There's no fingerprint sensor and the phone's a little bulky -- but in all the areas that really count, the Moto X Style looks like a serious contender.
Throw in Moto Maker and a starting price of $399 for an unlocked device, and the phone becomes even more attractive.
