The Moto X Play will sport a 5.5-inch display screen with a 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution. Meanwhile, the Moto X Style will feature a slightly larger 5.7-inch display screen.

According to Motorola, the Moto X Play will be available in black and white colors, while the Moto X Style will be available in dark grey or silver frames with black and white lens, respectively. Motorola's Pure Edition will come with 18 different inlays which will vary according to the market.
