That immense feel of happiness you get when you click on a PocketNow video and hear Michael Fisher's voice!
I feel nostalgic now.
I really think Michael Fisher reviews phones better than MKBHD
He compares phones so well that he does not even have a competitor !!!
Excellent job Michael !!!!!!
the thing is, MKBHD never compares phones. He only reviews them without making following up videos about the comparison with other phones
+Biondi Wiyono I know that :p
lol, is this what it's come to? tbh they r neck and neck! don't like MKBHD? don't visit his channel! P.S the proof is in the pudding....
+Noel paul
MKBHD has sold out. He doesn't care about making videos anymore.
+Anuj Chaulagain i'm inclined to agree. If i want something thorough then i'm choosing Michael's reviews every day of the week. Marques tends to be on the simpler side...gets to the point and does it well, very easy on the ear....and it's just him so i don't expect comparisons and the lot. That's too much content to push for one guy.
2 years later and Moto Makers is still not in Canada! Nexus 6P for me thank you!
+Denton Burton we know :'(
+Denton Burton we know :'(
I know that's why I'm getting the 6p as well
+RealMDG you complain about maker.. still no Phone release in greece!! am still waiting, btw the price will probably be around 550 euros, so it may cost me 600$ ~ ...
+FiR3Dr4g0n since our dollar is much more weaker than the euro, the iPhone 6 (not even S) is about $900 up in Canada, which is about $700 USD!
excellent review Mr. Fisher! I would definitely go for the Moto X Pure Edition anytime of the day, its more well rounded device for the price you getting.
hey, i see your vídeos. i like your channel.
I like more premium feels than..
Adrian Alob you like premium feel more over a well rounded device lol. okay buddy!
+L BS Question, how is the Motorola Pure a more well rounded device? The Nexus has a better camera (for pictures), better screen, finger print scanner, better front facing camera, better updates, and more premium feel. They each have front facing speakers, but for my money I'm going Nexus 6P all day. Just too much of the better thing. Curious as to why you think it's better. Also, don't mention Moto Assist, an app called Agent does the same thing and is easier to configure and offers the same thing with one downloadable application. You can also program your Nexus to respond to another key phrase as well during recording process of the always on configuration.
+Paul Hiam lol you mist be new. go check out my channel. make sure you bring some tissues with you when you watch my videos. thanks lol
thank you thank you thank you! I've been waiting for someone to do a review on these two devices. And i still can't decide lol
Lol same
Ditto
+Exiao utwob I got the moto a couple weeks ago and love it. There's no loosing side to this choice I think, both are great
go for the moto x pure.
same here, after several weeks of comparing, I am gonna go with the Moto X.
I got a Nexus 6P and I don't regret it at all :) Being up to date is extremely important for me.
super helpful review. loved the point by point comparisons and the actual video/photo/music evidence to back it up. will be subscribing and watching more reviews in the future. nice work guys!
Thanks for the comparison Michael!! Was waiting for this!
How do you manage to handle two phablets on the same hand?
they aren thick and position of cameras are different.
+Juan Carlos Araujo S. He's a big guy. For you. With no survivors. /end thread
+Juan Carlos Araujo S. One behind the other leaving the rear phone's camera free of any obstruction. It's not difficult.
+Juan Carlos Araujo S. Fisher has the twitter name "Captain Two Phones" for a reason!
hmm yea bruh!
is the fingerprint scanner faster than the one in iPhone 6s plus?
Get the moto X pure edition now... I've had the phone for two months it's amazing. And it's only $250 for the 32 gigabyte model. A steal
moustachebro4life I'm getting this for Christmas coming from a Moto X 2014 and then when my upgrade comes July I'm getting a Google Pixel xl
I got the 64gb version for 250 at bestbuy. Such a steal indeed!
kikinvago how is it I can't wait till I get mine
I just bought it on cyber monday. Waiting for it but I'll let you know.
MadeAUsername no. I'm actually responding to you on the phone. it was a cyber Monday deal. 64gb version Moto x pure for 250 dollars
Greetings from the U.K.
Very impressed with your reviews Michael Fisher!
Keep up the brilliant work!
Thank You for making this comparison video! It was a much needed one.
Nexus 6P. I have it. The main reason I wanted it was the fast updates. The camera was a priority, and I chose better low light and more saturation. The fingerprint was a cool addition as well. So was the slow-mo. Sure the Moto has some cooler features, but the fast updates and great low light shots are the main reasons I am sticking with the Nexus 6P. Whenever I see an article about a new feature in Android, I know my phone will support it in the vast majority of cases.
It won't support that haircut though
Noah Beal ha-ha. Old photo. Still a funny joke though.
I love my Moto X pure edition but I might buy the nexus 6P and get the best of both worlds!
I've been looking for this exact comparison. Great job!
Great delivery again by Michael Fisher - many thanks - peace from London. x
If motorola have put fingerprint scanner it is a perfect phone !! In its price
Fingerprint and better nighttime camera and I'd say it's the perfect phone, those two things drew me towards the Nexus
The way Motorola puts finger print scanners on phones is pretty bad.
I think it would be clever if they put one on the Motorola dimple in the back on the phone.
does the x pure edition not have a fingerprint sensor??
+Zombies4llDay no
switched from droid turbo to Nexus 6p. I miss Moto suite but the improved performance of marshmallow and the fingerprint scanner make the Nexus 6P just a bit better. I dbrand skin all my devices so looks are subjective, but I prefer the feel of a skinned Nexus to the bulk of Moto phones. Great review!
i really wanted this comparison video especially for these 2 phones. thanks for making clear of it. awesome video :)
Great video man, but one question, is the blue backing on the moto x the same "royal blue" they have on the site or is it an exclusive colour? and if so where and how did u get it?
How come the Pocketnow team never take into consideration the fact that most people outside the U.S. can't customise their Moto X if they choose to buy one? I agree it's a great feature but as someone living outside the U.S. it's just a pain.. even to buy the plastic / black version of the Moto X Style (let alone a leather or wood back model with some sort of engraving). I think this should be taken into account unless you aim to focus your reviews solely to U.S. citizens.
i do wish they make a smaller version of moto X style something around 5 to 5.2 inch...but after watching this i still find X style more attracttive than 6p
The Moto X 2014 2nd gen is a great phone. I've got it and the Moto XPE .
Always love the reviews Michael! I have the Nexus 5. But I really do like the Moto X Pure Edition. Only thing that bums me out is neither has Qi wireless charging like my good old Nexus 5. Can't tell you how many times it's saved me when I have a bad micro USB cable. Normally use my battery pack to wirelessly top off and it works great.
Great review, exactly what I was looking for.
I think I will go Moto X Pure... based on your great videos, thanks!
I got the 6P and am very impressed. I had a Note 4 and loved it, well, until it got wet. lol. The 6p seems very premium. The camera is excellent and Marshmallow is fast. Having no bloatware and full functionality is amazing. I always liked iPhone for having that (and that's about it). The 6P is the best phone I've owned.
+XLPCX Same! Really surprised at how little light you need in order to still get a great photo. And that wide angle lens is impressive as ever. Not to mention that fingerprint scanner is too good!
+HERO I'm pretty sure I'm going to stick with Nexus phones for a while. I love it.
XLPCX same
Great review this is why I love PocketNow! You guys give some of the most objective non biased reviews. Keep doing what your doing!
Very excellent and fair review. You've just earned a new sub.
Nexus 6P 699€ (64gb, because 32gb isn´t enough)
Moto X Pure 548€ (32gb expandable)
Looks like im going with Motorola this time :D
I bought the Moto x Pure and I can confirm that it runs hot under heavy usage.
Perfect review Mr. Fischer ! Thanks !
I was waiting for this review and got the perfect one.
I will go with the Moto X no doubt.
Another great video, Michael. Your craft is improving and improving.
Watching this on my Moto XPE its a great buy for your money
+Fakiye Oladipupo Which storage option did you choose?
I chose the 16gb option hoping that marshmallow update will come early so I can use my 64gb SD as primary storage but now I'm kinda regretting it. I think 32gb is the best option to buy.
Fakiye Oladipupo Ah, I was debating about these two phones and the Galaxy S6. Do you remember how much storage space the X gave you out the box?
+Cairo it was about 9.6gb and I'm buying a s6 on thanksgiving too I just want to experience what people have been saying about it.
+Fakiye Oladipupo Nice!
After dealing with terrible software support for the oneplus one (OxygenOS) I would much rather have the nexus 6p just for the fact that it will always be on the latest version of android
I feel your pain. I sold my oneplus 2, thinking about getting the 6p or the moto x pure
Gabe W even I sold my 1+2 for a 6p.... Not saying it was a bad phone.. But nothing beats a nexus
what's wrong with oxygen OS?
+blueman24 Software bugs were pretty bad in OP2, but OPO was pretty solid. Especially since the dev community was extremely large for that device (and still is for that matter). OP2's OS feels more like a custom ROM, bugs, bugs, and bugs.
To be honest, I want to take the switch from my OPO, but one thing that is kind of stopping me is the roms currently available for it.
Thanks for the awesome review! I really liked that you actually named a "winer", not the classic "your option" that almost every reviewer gives.
I still have not made up my mind yet, but this was a good help.
Thank you so much for your very informative videos! Please, I work in a very noisy environment. For incoming calls on moto x style and nexus p, do both speakers operate, or does the incoming caller's voice only play through the top speaker? Also, for private incoming calls, which offers the loudest volume -- moto x style or nexus 6p?
If you don't need an excellent screen, a good headphone output, expandable storage and all the moto softwares improving the user experience.. go for Nexus 6P.
If you don't need a fingerprint sensor, the latest snapdragon chipset, all the minor updates for the next 2-3 years.. go for Moto X Pure.
+Valerio Melucci Well I find the Amoled screen on the 6P much better than the IPS one on the Moto X. I can't listen to headphones due to it causing hearing loss so I use a bluetooth speaker instead. Cloud storage, and honesty I don't know how one can fill all 32GB. I would probably turn those off to save battery, or if I REALLY needed them, I would use a app.
Fingerprint sensor is dope af. Not why I bought the phone but a nice bonus. I get to be actually hyped for Android N!
2:14 ohhhh... yeah
that peeling
Great review! I ordered both phones and sent back the Moto X. It was really close. I loved Moto's Attentive Display and the easy settings wheel for the camera. But I thought the on/off button wasn't very responsive, took a bit too much effort. Which is kind of major, given how much it gets used. AND I usually keep my phones for 2-3 years. The 6P will likely still be getting Android updates in 3 years, but I doubt that the Moto X will. Which will probably make a difference in the longer-term performance, etc..
Great comparison as always Michael!
NEXUS 6P IS MY CHOICE FOR STYLE AND OS STABILITY
What was that airplane game he was playing? Thx!
it says when he isplaying it
Time?
Modern air combat 3D
Thx

I recently purchased the Moto X Pure when it was on sale at Best Buy for 250. It's the generic black with 32 gigs of storage. I absolutely love this phone and Poketnow's review of it helped me to choose this over similarly priced phones. Marshmallow really helps with battery life and it just feels a little more responsive as well. Great review and thanks for helping me decide which phone would suit me best.
Beautiful review. Loved it
On balance, I'll go with the Nexus phone. Mainly because of the frequent Android updates. As I'm looking to keep my phone for 18-24 months, not being confident that it's going to get updates means the Moto isn't for me. So, it's a head over heart decision.
+Christopher Tilley Remember the possible screen burn in issues that you have to take in consideration with an amoled screen.. that was a dealbreaker for me so i chose the Moto X Pure (IPS LCD)
+Christopher Tilley Yup! and that fingerprint sensor is dope af!
+Jonas Pieniniemi Well I have used a Note for two years and that has an ambled screen. It has no burn in. And honestly burn in is such an old issue now if you told me a modern flagship had that problem I would say you're lying... which you are.
+HERO I have a Nexus 6, purchased in November 2015. 2 weeks of use later and the nav bar is heavily burned in. Burn in on AMOLED still exists my friend.
The iTech Lab Might want to contact Google about that since I have been using my Nexus 6P for months and have experienced zero burn in.
why does NOBODY mention burn-in on amoled screens?? I would consider that pretty important..
*****That sounds horrible...but those are just defective units, my point goes across all amoled panels...
I've never heard of that
+David Yang one is a manufacturing defect; the other is a clear limitation of AMOLED technology. Reviewers don't mention the AMOLED burn-in problem because they never use the phone outside of the first month or so; burn in doesn't usually happen until six or so months of use.
Wasn't that fixed by adding transparent status bar in homescreen? My firend is still using orginal galaxy s2 and the only place were screen looks bad is where the status bar is (it has broken because it was displaying only black for most of the time)
+theycallmedicklet that's only on the home screen or on phones with face buttons. Any other phone will still be vulnerable to burn in after a few months since the UI is on the screen at all times.
Very solid comparison.. Love the 4k video comparison ...will be a great a help for someone who is struck in between these 2 phones to decide . thanks for the video :)
I'm coming over from an iphone 5s (never had an android phone but have a tablet) what would you recommend?
Watching this on a nexus 5X, honestly, I'm not impressed with the 5X... that's it :| I'm switching to the Moto X Pure Edition ASAP.
What don't you like about the phone ❓
+Freaky_Chic_Girl101 The screen & the speakers. Also, there isn't much difference between it & my old Nexus 5, I mean in terms of user experience. I would like to have something with more features + better screen & speakers. The camera though is very very good, the finger print sensor is awesome & it's a very light device as well :]
+iBraHiM TaShKaNDi You mean the "speaker", since it only has one right? I think that you should have gone with the 6p instead.
+jose Calderon Yes. You're right, the "speaker", and I would've gone for the 6P if it was sold here in Canada -_- apparently the Google Store keeps saying "coming soon"... Anyways, I just ordered my Moto X Pure Edition through a website called "Big Apple Buddy"... Found it on Google, they help you buy stuff from USA that aren't available to purchase outside USA. It was the only way to get it since I have no contacts there.
+Allen Tom It's not a waste for some ppl, but for me I want more. That's why I ordered my custom Moto X Pure Edition & will arrive by the end of the month :]
nexus 6 hands down
Thanks for the video BTW. Another good one.
How did you get a Moto X with that bright blue rubber backing? I didn't see that option on Moto Maker.
Nexus 6p and its no brainer
Is the Moto App Suite exclusive to select countries, or is it available worldwide? (like the integration with maps and stuff)
Great comparison review!
Great review sir, thank you for this video.
hey Michael, does your opinion of the 6p still hold after that awful bend test that was performed on it?
What is the back color of the moto x used in this review? I'm asking this because it seems to me that colors look darker in motomaker.
Which colour is that you chose for Moto X back? Is it royal blue? I love the colour, but when I see it on its website, i can't find this colour but its only showing royal blue.
please let me know.
thanks for the great comparison. I just got a moto x pure for $100 box and all. he just didn't have the fast charger and I can't seem to find one online. any suggestions on where to get it? the nexus looks great and I would love to try that one soon.
have people stopped transferring stuff from their phone to their pc? Apart from select podcasts, I mainly stream music and video from services like spotify and youtube, so I only really take up space with apps and photo/video, which I can then easily dump on my pc from time to time if I need more space. I know some people who have pretty large music collections on their phones, with up to 10 GB of songs, and of course 4k video takes up a lot of space, but 64 GB is still plenty of storage for me not to have to worry about dumping my data for long periods of time.
can i get moto x pure in 2017..?? I like it more than other devices out there...but is the battery life good on Nougat
Great review. Cheers
Yeeeeeees. Thanks for the comparison, Michael.
Great reviews and I almost pulled the trigger on the MX Pure but decided to try out Fi. If you get a Fi account, you can add the cost of the nexus as installments to your bill so now I hope to pay less than I was with Verizon for the same plan AND a sweet new phone. I'll miss the Moto features and gestures, though.
Hi I want to bay moto x style and I already have a humari Nexus 6p special edition what can I do
Michael you really made a great case for the XPE, but I'm sticking with my N6P for its Aluminum build, fast updates, low light camera, and battery life.
Awesome vid! This helped a lot because I was just curios about which one is better. Thx. Also I would choose the Moto X Pure Edition! :D
you are brilliant as always !!
I'm curious what Michael's daily driver is? I'm still on the X 2014... and love it!
Dope review honestly that helped alot with my decision I think im just gonna get a moto x with more storage
Hey guys, I have Note 4 and i was just wondering which of these phones would be a better upgrade for me? Thanks!
Feel like it comes down to specs, camera, price and whether you want a fingerprint sensor or all the moto features.
What about these vs the original Droid Turbo and the Turbo 2? Which one is the best out of those 4?
Thank you for mentioning outdoor visibility ! Keep up the good work
Really great comparison video here but I still feel like I want both of these! I've only played with the MXP so far at Best Buy & the crisp more natural looking screen colors+speakers were more impressive than my AMOLED-mono speaker Note4 but I hope battery life improves with M since I'm used to removable batteries yet at least I've read it charges faster than the N6P & I also use external batteries-chargers. Anyone have both of these & regret it feeling that the N6P is just the be-all end-all never going back to MXP?
What color is that Moto X? Does not seem to be available on Moto Maker anymore.
I have a question for anyone that owns a Nexus 6P... Is the signal strength no the 6P comparable to any other phone? As in, it's not lacking in any way? Also, after loading apps onto it, does it slow down at all? Thanks.
Thanks for a great video! I was really considering the 6p, but now I have more to think about. The moto x really brings some cool features that may just change my mind.
where can i get the dark wallpaper they were using guys?
Whats the fighter jet game you were playing on the moto x?
Great review I made the same choice. And I love the moto x pure I get a while day out of it as well 6 hours onscreen time yesterday does not seem to be bad at all. Plus the colour on the nexus 6p chops terribly and the visor on the back scratches like hell so if you don't put a case on it your bummt.
Mr Fisher which one is better oneplus two and moto x pure edition
so what will u rather use when the moto x get the android 6 update and removes most of motorola apps such as assist ?
Very nice video, you just got a like and subscribe.😉😉😉
Everyone says the Moro skin is thin, but does it get updates as quickly as Android stock?
Great review. I'm somewhat considering the LG V10 - looks pretty incredible, PLUS expandable storage and removable battery.
I have the moto x pure and I'm waiting on my pre ordered 6p can't wait to see what's the best!!!
Do other Moto phones (X Play and Style) also have the system customizations (notifications, custom Google voice callout, etc.)?
+iraupph the Style is the Pure. And probably yes, it has got the customization
Please tell me which one is worth the price or any other option which gives haves more advantages than it should give for the price
I'm wondering if the picture quality of the photos (e.g. better color) would be improved on the Moto X Pure if it updated to Andriod 6.0 like on the Nexus 6P?
No. No update will fix the colors or capabilities of a camera.
Awesome comparison video Mr. Fischer! I still can't decide which one tho. I'm leaning towards the Moto X for the simple fact it has expandable storage. If the X had a fingerprint sensor, then it would be a no-brainer.
Hi Michael, could you guys do a nexus 6p vs nexus 6 comparison? thanks
looked hard at both phones. Decided to go 6p with 128 gb from eBay for $410. At that price and the memory couldn't go wrong. Great review as always Michael.
9:06 Was the Nexus 6P's included charger used? It's a fast charge one. Not Qualcomm Quick Charge, but still a fast charge system.
the moto x still tops up about 10 minutes faster.
I have the Note 5 and I just sold my Nexus 6 then ordered the Nexus 6P. I like the updates and camera on the 6P.
Thanks for another awesome video, Mr. Fisher! Personally, I chose the Nexus 6P over this year's Moto X (and that's coming from a former Moto X lover). While Motorola's added features make the Moto X a must-have, I got tired of Motorola's lies in terms of updating my 2013 1st Gen to Lollipop (which never happened) among other things. And the 6P is my first Nexus ever. I'll take fast updates and promised future support any day.
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?
No
Lg g5/v20 and Nexus 5x/6p have ok google enabled even if the screen is off.
Well done Michael. I have both phones and I happen to agree with you. I've shipped back my Nexus 6p. The Moto X felt much more comfortable in hand and the nexus was a little too tall (among other things).
As i cant coustumice the X pure, your saying i should go Nexus?
