Moto X Style vs Moto X Play vs Moto G 2015: specs comparison

Moto has hit the competition hard today with not just one, not two, but three great new smartphones! The Moto X Style, X Play and new Moto G will all reach the market at different moments: the Moto G 2015, for example, is promised to become available as soon as today, while the Moto X Play is to launch in August, followed by the Moto X Style in September.

And while all three new Motorola smartphones fit in different categories: high-end for the X Style, upper-mid-range for the X Play, and lower-mid-range for the Moto G, we think it'll be a good idea to have a nice overview of the specs of all three - so we can all make out all the differences at a glance.

Without further ado, let's see how all three new Motos stack up against each other in the all-important specs department!
