The Moto X Style is the flagship device.

The Moto X Play, meanwhile, falls into the upper- to mid-range category. It features a slightly smaller 5.5-inch 1080p display (401 PPI) that’s powered by Qualcomm’s 615 eight-core chip clocked at 1.7GHz with 2GB of RAM. It, too, features a 21-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel selfie cam and half the storage at 32GB.
The Moto G 2015 is destined for budget-conscious shoppers. It ships with a 5-inch, 1,280 x 720 display (294 PPI) driven by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC ticking along at 1.4GHz with 2GB of RAM to work with. There’s a 13-megapixel camera around back, a 5-megapixel forward-looking camera and 16GB of onboard storage.
All handsets will ship with Android 5.1 Lollipop and include expansion slots to boost local storage capacity.
