The Moto X Style back cover can be customized, allowing you to choose from different colors and materials. This Moto X Style back cover is the standard version made of black silicone material.

The Motorola Moto X Style features a 3000mAh battery with fast charging support. Motorola claims that charging for 15 minutes can provide a battery life of 10 hours, which is currently the fastest charging speed on the market. The battery still uses LG cells and has a thickness of 3.2mm. During the charging process, the temperature of the phone rises quickly, which may be due to the fast charging technology. But in everyday use, the temperature control of the mobile phone is not ideal.
To achieve good heat dissipation, all the metal shields are covered with a large area of graphite stickers, and the back of the motherboard also uses larger-sized copper foil.
The display size has been increased from 5.2 inches to 5.7 inches, and the AMOLED screen has also been upgraded from 1080P to a 2560×1440 resolution. The bezels have also become narrower. Unlike the previous generation, a metal plate has been added to the back of the screen for internal support. This metal plate enhances the body’s stability while also increasing its thickness.
At the top front of the phone are arranged the infrared sensor, light/distance sensor, earpiece, front camera, and selfie light in order.
The Moto X Style features a 21MP rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture and dual LED flash, while the front camera is 5MP.
