Moto X Play Now Available

Motorola has officially launched their next Moto X here in Canada, the Moto X Play, and while it’s not quite their flagship device (that would be the Moto X Style), it’s a solid offering that’s definitely worth a look.  Here’s a rundown of the specs:

• 5.5″ 1080p Display
• Snapdragon 615 Processor
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB Internal Storage
• microSD Card Slot
• 21MP Camera
• 5MP Front Facing Camera
• 3630 mAh Battery
• Android 5.1.1

Unlike the Samsung phablets that launched today, the Moto X Play comes with a much more modest price tag.  The outright price sits between $400 and $450, which is about the price of Samsung’s new devices on contract.  If you do opt to pick up the Moto X Play on term the most you’ll pay is $100 while some carriers are offering it for $0.  You can currently grab the device on Bell, Telus, SaskTel, Koodo and Videtron while WIND will join the party shortly.
