Honest question: why would I get a 5X over a Moto X Play which is cheaper or Moto X Style which is only £20 more (in the UK at least) and has better specs?

- ihsw 11y agoYou shouldn't -- they intentionally gimped the 5X in order to make the 6P more appealing. And it's working, I wouldn't be surprised if first-day 6P purchases outnumber 5X first-day purchases by a magnitude.
- rjbwork 11y agoI'll tell my reason for going 6P: I loved my N5, but the lacking battery life was annoying, and a total bricking after a full discharge (not eligible for another repair, since it was already fixed from being dropped in a puddle a few months earlier...) brought it's life to an end. I've been scraping by on a Nokia Lumia 530 for about 3-4 months now. Great little phone for 40 dollars, but I'm getting tired of the subpar GMail, HipChat, SubSonic, etc clients that come with having a Windows phone. I figure that as long as the 6P is as good as the original N5, with a better battery life, I should be satisfied for a good long while. I didn't go with the 5X because I am genuinely worried about the subpar battery life again.
