May I ask what kind of camera you use to take these videos? The videos are amazing in quality and content. I'm happy I subscribed! I have a Nexus 6P, which I feel like it's a bit better of a phone than the Moto X Pure.
After watching this in-depth review, no one will ever need to watch or read another review of this amazing budget-friendly phone. Its covers every aspect of Moto X, from body to camera to software and also usp of moto phones. Thumbs up for this amazing review. :)
Hi all, I too have the pure 32g basic black version, no customisation. Only paid 265 on amazon so can't complain. Tis great to read so many positive responses to the phone. Does make u wonder why in this age of dang good quality mid-range phones, people still wanna blow 8,9,plus, on a phone they'll only carry for a couple years. Great informative video.
+Jermell Howard Jr Why would I hate Samsung because they're selling a lot of units? Lol that's silly and it still doesn't defeat the fact that touch wiz is slow , clutter UI and super lagy. Stock Android is 10x better than touchwiz. Why do you people insist on getting touchwiz? why?!
Hold on calm down!! I understand everyone won't like samsung, but have you ever even used a Samsung phone before?? Also don't forget Apple is the main enemy.
No I haven't ,but that still doesn't change the fact that I ever did say that Motorola sucks because in my opinion they don't and after I sell my s5 next year I might just get a moto phone. I watched this review for a reason. Oh and what Samsung phone did u have.
The ones who follow your channel honestly or depend on your reviews in one way or the other don't care when you put your review. All of us - especially me - admire your work and I envy your collection, especially the iPod collection. Thanks again and see you again in the next video.
I brought this phone last June when I went in New York, no regrets. Its a really great phone for those who don't need high end specs or don't want to spend a lot of money.
i feel like Motorola stepped their game up huge last few years. Hey DB, can i ask something wich u might add to your reviews....? ....what i think is very important is low light quality but like at parties/festivals/concerts. But nobody on youtube covers video AND audio at such events. Anyway, love your videos !!!!
finally something that is not Apple related 😊, I really like your videos but I miss your android reviews, it was one of them that got me convinced to get my S6 Edge
Today Motorola offered $100 off Moto X. I just created mine white with blue 64gb for $399. looking forward to ditching my iPhone 6s plus. Great video it played a factor in ordering my Moto X.
I got mine as a refurb for $320 when the 64GB was out of stock (My Moto E's charge port broke). I've enjoyed mine the last few days I had it. If you've ever dropped your Iphone, you'll like how scratch/shatter resistant the glass on Motorola phones are. My only nitpick with it, is it's a little odd with transfering files to the laptop via USB (not sure if it's the phone, or the laptop's Linux install).
+DFX2KX wow that's an amazing price. Yeah I noticed that Bestbuy had it refirb for ask low as $230 but sold out. Thanks so much for all these helpful tips. I can't wait to get it. I'll com back here to let you all know about my experience.
I really want this phone...I fell in love with the design, the front kind of reminded me of my G2 which brings back good memories. (: I wish it had an OLED screen though, ever since my Note 4 not having OLED is crazy for me. Love the video too!
Nice review Mike. I'm really digging this phone. I opted for this over the OP2. My son went with the OP2 and is pretty happy with it. I wanted the Quad HD screen, moto actions, expandable storage, and NFC.
I greatly enjoy your reviews! Quick question. Did Motorola do away with some of the features with Marshmallow? I've just received my device and can't seem to find some of the features you discussed, such as ambient display. Thanks for your review!
Good lord. It's never about the price for you Mike. I think you can afford to buy all the gadgets that you wish to have. Haha. Nice review. Always looking forward to your next reviews. :)
I want either this phone or the Nexus 6P, I'd be waiting until March though before I purchase either one. I do like how this phone has expandable storage though.
+Cole Naylor I loved it, it ran very good and the screen is gorgeous. for sure doesn't make u wanna wear a case on it but I got a new phone the nexus 6p only because the x pure got way to hot for me. if it didn't get so hot I wouldve kept it for a long long time.
There were a decent amount of errors in the previous upload that didn't do the phone justice. In the earlier upload he stated it was a 5.2 inch display instead of 5.7. He also said that the international name was Moto X Play instead of Moto X Style.
+Next Generation Devices He had done a terrible job on the original video..Like very bad...most facts were wrong..he said it had ois and called this a very mid range device...and when lots of people called him out for it he decided to reupload it better
Is there anything like Moto assist on other phones? Is there an app that can do the same thing? I'm physically disabled and they hands-free experience with Moto phones has been essential for me. But I feel like I'm locked to a specific brand. I'm aware Google now is basically on every android phone but it does not work when in standby mode. Whereas the Moto phones allow you to use Google now from across the room even in standby mode. So my question is, does only Moto have this useful feature or is there an app in the Google play store that will allow me to do the same thing on other phones?
The main problem with The Borg is that he holds all the phones he reviews the 'wrong' way in the horizontal position when using it as a camera. The home button side really should be on the right and not the left so it doesn't interfere with the on-screen controls, especially for the Moto controls.
I know it's late but I hope you guys enjoy this review of the Moto X Pure Edition, one of my favorite phones for 2015.
I love every single video of yours! Keep up the good work! Can't wait until you hit 1million subs!
+DetroitBORG For a second I though Motorola came out with another new phone.
+DetroitBORG love your videos. god bless you man. i have autism and it is the best tech videos on youtube.
+DetroitBORG you are SUPER late on this review
Nice review. I love the phone and when I upgrade its probably gonna be the one I upgrade to.
The classic , "Whats the weather like in Rochester Hills, Michigan"
LOL, a running joke now.
+Sai Saran Chintha How about "How the hell do I get out of Michigan?" Spent 2 years in PA, oh my gawd talk about BORING!
+DetroitBORG its now the top search on Google! lol
I've seen many reviews for this phone and this is by far the best one. Well done. My moto X pure is coming in the mail this week!! Can't wait
You'are the Most brilliant and outstanding tech reviewer here in TH-cam. Keep up the excellent work. :)
+Morsid Mayog Thanks kindly!

Nice review, I just ordered mine the other day for Christmas!
Been waiting for this one. Thanks buddy!
+Ash Tailor (ashthought) Glad to hear it :)
+DetroitBORG How bright does the screen get Mr.Borg? Can you compare it to the brightness an iPhone display or AMOLED?

Does make u wonder why in this age of dang good quality mid-range phones, people still wanna blow 8,9,plus, on a phone they'll only carry for a couple years. Great informative video.
Motorola is so underated. lol, I can't believe people would choose Samsung or HTC over this
So many of you people hate samsung because there selling well but don't forget who's the real enemy here....Apple. : )
+Jermell Howard Jr Why would I hate Samsung because they're selling a lot of units? Lol that's silly and it still doesn't defeat the fact that touch wiz is slow , clutter UI and super lagy. Stock Android is 10x better than touchwiz. Why do you people insist on getting touchwiz? why?!

+Jermell Howard Jr yes I have used a Samsung phone before. But the real question is, have you ever used a Motorola phone?

Wow, its 63 degrees in your area. We're having the same warm trend over here in Connecticut too. Great review by the way, Mike!
Got to say man, your content is incredible.
BEST reviewer on TH-cam.
That white boot up screen will burn your retinas if you look right into it because it's so bright.
From the pictures and videos I can tell your house is so beautiful, all that landscape, wonderful decoration, very nice.
The ones who follow your channel honestly or depend on your reviews in one way or the other don't care when you put your review. All of us - especially me - admire your work and I envy your collection, especially the iPod collection.
Thanks again and see you again in the next video.
Thought you completely forgot about this phone. I was waiting for ages. Better late than never. Still a very good review.
im actually glad you did it late because now we get to see it on Marshmellow! No other reviewer did that
I brought this phone last June when I went in New York, no regrets. Its a really great phone for those who don't need high end specs or don't want to spend a lot of money.
dat red and black scheme is so smexy
+RedLightningTheLegend It's perfect!
***** more than perfect
+TheGeekyGirl13 :P yep
***** whatever the fuck that means
***** is it anime?
i feel like Motorola stepped their game up huge last few years.
Hey DB, can i ask something wich u might add to your reviews....?
....what i think is very important is low light quality but like at parties/festivals/concerts. But nobody on youtube covers video AND audio at such events.
Anyway, love your videos !!!!
You're reviews of electronic is top notch..
+Carlos Rodriguez Thank You :)
as always the most professionals reviews from youtube
wow. phones keep getting more and more gorgeous.
finally something that is not Apple related 😊, I really like your videos but I miss your android reviews, it was one of them that got me convinced to get my S6 Edge
hey! mick u are going on great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the true reviewer is here again!!!!!!!

+Shy Kamai indeed. you shouldn't have any problems. the battery is good, unless you do lots of video, that eats it pretty quickly.
+DFX2KX that's what I been seeing across TH-cam.
+Shy Kamai so how is it?
I love the moto x pure edition review it very useful
I really want this phone...I fell in love with the design, the front kind of reminded me of my G2 which brings back good memories. (: I wish it had an OLED screen though, ever since my Note 4 not having OLED is crazy for me. Love the video too!
Good to hear what you said about the battery life.
I really like that Black and Red. that looks crazy sick.
You are the beat. More knowledgeable and comprehensive.
Good review. I like how you showed both models, because I couldn't choose between the white or black version
+allen Brown Glad I had an opportunity to show two opposing designs.
Bro your my favorite technology youtuber keep it
Nice review Mike. I'm really digging this phone. I opted for this over the OP2. My son went with the OP2 and is pretty happy with it. I wanted the Quad HD screen, moto actions, expandable storage, and NFC.
+James Neilson Unless you're looking for a fingerprint scanner, the Moto X is hard to beat at this price.
This Black and red version is beauty
Mike, as always, great video!
Excellent video as always! Best of luck for your next video
As an iPhone 6s user who used the Moto X briefly for a week, I miss the Moto X it was the best android phone imo that I ever used.
It's a really nice phone, esp. the red and black. Great job on the review!
I really like your videos
Great job
I greatly enjoy your reviews! Quick question. Did Motorola do away with some of the features with Marshmallow? I've just received my device and can't seem to find some of the features you discussed, such as ambient display. Thanks for your review!
Good lord. It's never about the price for you Mike. I think you can afford to buy all the gadgets that you wish to have. Haha. Nice review. Always looking forward to your next reviews. :)
Looks great in black and red! :) Motorola does the best android phones ever..
This is the phone I would like to get if there ever a finger print reader.
+LSV I'm hoping next gen will have the fingerprint reader.
+John Matthews yeah. That's why i switched to nexus
Will Cohen Eh, I really like the design of Motorola and the features over Nexus. If it had fingerprint scanner, I would definitely go for it
People are too lazy to put in a 2 second passcode now. And I would much rather have the speakers rather than the fp scanner
+Canned Toast the fingerprint sensor was a deal breaker for mw
Nice review as always. You are my go to guy for tech. Very nice home too. Lots of work to keep it that beautiful.
Great job Mike! Keep up the good work man! :D
+Austin Cheese Thanks, making more as I write this :)
Wow those voice commands were super fast!!!
Hello +DetriotBorg yor are awesome . Your reviews are so good. I am big fan of yours . I have watched your each and every viedo . You are great .

Awesome review as always!
LOVE IT BRO THANKS FOR THE NICE REVIEW :)
+ramish1999 My pleasure, thanks for watching!
+DetroitBORG welcome 😊
+DetroitBORG does this phone have a gallery app?
I think I'm gonna buy this phone in a few months!
If you do one of those videos where you have every color combination of the phone, I'll just be flabbergasted.
About time!!!
Down to 265.00 at Best buy for 16GB. At that price I gave it a shot, great looking screen pretty bright even at half brightness. I am happy.
i took the 32 Gb version at $270 in best buy, just the best!
Thanks for a great review! I'll be purchasing one in the upcoming week :)
Thank you for this review! It's very detailed and I'll definitely be getting this phone 😁
Great review always nice to watch.📱

As usual.. 😆
Great Video..😊
People will be waiting for your giveaways...😂
I want either this phone or the Nexus 6P, I'd be waiting until March though before I purchase either one. I do like how this phone has expandable storage though.
That black one is Awesome!!!!
Ordered today. Can't wait ;)))
Do you like it?
+Cole Naylor I loved it, it ran very good and the screen is gorgeous. for sure doesn't make u wanna wear a case on it but I got a new phone the nexus 6p only because the x pure got way to hot for me. if it didn't get so hot I wouldve kept it for a long long time.
+Vlon I was really considering getting the 6p because of the snapdragon 810 but the Moto Pure just dropped a $100 so I'm not sure. Thanks anyways☺️
+Cole Naylor I understand lol, you're welcome
+Vlon By the way, while you had the Pure did you update to Marshmallow, if you did, was it smooth?
I did enjoy this video, thank you for posting
just ordered mine yesterday; I have an iPhone; but man to expensive!
I'm excited about my future moto x
How is it im thinking on getting it?
lol I just ordered mines too!!
Great as always!
No problem I just want to thank u for doing the videos
Awesome video and review!
Superb review mike.
Any plans to give away the black edition ?
its the best review so far. better than Android auth or mkbhd
You're the best! 😊
I love this phone
5 years later in 2020 it's still the best out there!
that moto x in black leather with red bezels looks boss
Thank you fr a REAL review Mike. i would however, never leave apple...
a 5inch Moto X Pure is my dream
love the video keep up the good work!!!!
Motorola is stepping up on their phone game. I might get one.
mike why did you re upload the video
There were a decent amount of errors in the previous upload that didn't do the phone justice. In the earlier upload he stated it was a 5.2 inch display instead of 5.7. He also said that the international name was Moto X Play instead of Moto X Style.
+Next Generation Devices he didn't, if you look at some shots, the dates on the phone are for December 15th.
+Seraph Starman I saw this video few hours ago
Next Generation Devices Ohh, excuse me. Thought you meant reuploaded from months ago.
+Next Generation Devices He had done a terrible job on the original video..Like very bad...most facts were wrong..he said it had ois and called this a very mid range device...and when lots of people called him out for it he decided to reupload it better
That white and gold tho 😍
Mr. DetroitBORG, will you be doing a review of the Lumia 950/ 950XL?
are you going to do a review on the BlackBerry Priv?
+DetroitBORG I have a question.Does the Moto x pure edition's camera is better than the one on Lg G3?
Phones dank. Highly recommend. Have had it for about a month and it's awesome sauce.
Did you re upload this video mike? Maybe because you made corrections from the first video
Yes, had to make a few tweaks.
Ok just making sure! Thanks for making great videos Mike!
Is there anything like Moto assist on other phones? Is there an app that can do the same thing? I'm physically disabled and they hands-free experience with Moto phones has been essential for me.

So my question is, does only Moto have this useful feature or is there an app in the Google play store that will allow me to do the same thing on other phones?
The most slept on phone and still relevant.
Hi! Does it have a swapple battery and an RF blaster? Thanks.
I was so surprised when I found out the phone was made & shipped from my home town in China.
pls review 'best smartphone of 2015' like last year
Also don't forget to mention the best budget phone of the year
Hey, you got the MKBHD Version there, haha
But again nice review from you.
+Jan Heesen The man has good taste :)
The main problem with The Borg is that he holds all the phones he reviews the 'wrong' way in the horizontal position when using it as a camera. The home button side really should be on the right and not the left so it doesn't interfere with the on-screen controls, especially for the Moto controls.
thank god the video is working now. first it was showing private content and unable to load........well then now lets watch :)
It's a lovely phone especially when you can decorate it
will you review the lumia 950 and 950xl
How did it take for Motorola to ship your phone? It took them more than 3 weeks to ship mine.
