Motorola Moto X (2017): Design
Motorola Moto X looks outlandish, somewhat aggressive. The phone is completely in metal, only behind it are plastic inserts from below and from above. The front 5.5 inch screen with Full HD resolution occupies about 80% of the front panel. The frames are not very thick. There is a conversational speaker on the top of the device, a front camera with a flash, and a proximity sensor.
On the lower part, everything is also not so rosy: there is a button with fingerprint sensor, but “home” button is not used, instead, control buttons are onscreen.
