The fact of the matter is, we have a solid performer in this 5.7-inch IPS LCD, with crisp visuals (at 515 pixels per inch, no less) and good viewing angles. Motorola finally made the leap to a Quad HD (2,560 x 1,440) panel with this year's Moto X, and I'm not about to start a debate on whether or not we actually need such high-resolution screens on smartphones. It plays a key role in making the Moto X Pure a more thoughtful phone, and that might make all the difference for you. As always, though, Motorola has complemented its fairly high-end components with its so-called Mobile Computing System, a bundle of contextual processing cores that pay attention to the device's motion and your voice.

Other powerhouses like the Galaxy Note 5 also include a full four gigs of memory. Meanwhile, rivals like the OnePlus 2 offer the more powerful Snapdragon 810 and 4GB of RAM. The phone uses one of Qualcomm's hexa-core Snapdragon 808 chips and 3GB of RAM, much like the LG G4 from earlier this year. Speaking of potentially unsatisfying, the Moto X's internals might seem less interesting than at first. At least the device is now water-resistant, allowing the Pure Edition to survive a few accidental dips in my sink. This smaller version isn't nearly as satisfying. I took this harder than I expected: The dip the X used to have on its backside made for a comfortable place to rest my index finger. Since Motorola wasn't concerned about including a fingerprint sensor on the Pure Edition, the telltale logo dimple below the 21-megapixel camera is way smaller than on last year's version too. If that's not your thing (it isn't really mine), you can also order your Pure Edition with a colorful silicone rear, or a more exotic one hewn of bamboo, charcoal ash, ebony or walnut wood for a few bucks more. My review unit came with a deep gray finish on its metal frame and a textured, brown Saffiano leather back that adds some extra character to the mix. If the phone's face seems forgettable, flip it over for a reminder of what you can do with Moto Maker. And it wouldn't be a Moto X if the facade weren't flecked with numerous infrared sensors to detect a face or moving hands. It's still pretty odd to see an LED flash nestled next to the front-facing 5-megapixel camera, though all's fair in the search for the perfect selfie. We'll revisit the screen shortly, but in general it's a beautiful thing and it's complemented by a pair of front-facing stereo speakers. With its trim waistline and gently sloping back, this year's Moto X is one of the most comfortable big-screen phones to hold, even despite the 5.7-inch panel Motorola added this year. Motorola isn't rewriting the rulebook here the Pure Edition will feel awfully familiar if you've so much as picked up a second-gen Moto X over the past year.
