Motorola Moto X Force Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
3.5/5
Verdict
The Moto X Force is Motorola’s most loaded and priciest offering yet. Its 32GB edition will cost Rs 49,999, while the 64-gig version will set you back by Rs 53,999. For your money, you get an unbreakable smartphone with powerful guts, impressive battery life and a decent pair of snappers.However, it’s hard to justify its pricing apart from the fact that you get a smashproof screen. The phablet misses out on premium features such as optical image stabilisation for the camera, a fingerprint scanner and doesn’t have dual-SIM support either.

For your money, you get an unbreakable smartphone with powerful guts, impressive battery life and a decent pair of snappers.However, it’s hard to justify its pricing apart from the fact that you get a smashproof screen. The phablet misses out on premium features such as optical image stabilisation for the camera, a fingerprint scanner and doesn’t have dual-SIM support either. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and its slightly pricier sibling, the S7 edge (review) offer more features. You can also go for the Google Nexus 6P (review) in case you want a large-screen experience along with the latest Android iteration, which is available for almost Rs 10,000 lower.The Motorola Moto X Force isn’t for every one – and that’s apparent from its USP as well as its pricing. But the shatterproof display in itself could be enough to appeal to those who want a rough-and-tough phone that doesn’t skimp on any other aspects either.Update (Apr 19th): The Moto X Force is now available at Rs 34,999 and 37,999 for the 32GB and 64GB editions respectively. With this price tag, the smartphone is a more attractive proposition and also stands out from the competition.
Pros
- Shatterproof display
- Top-notch internals
- Vanilla experience of Marshmallow
- Reliable battery life
Cons
- Camera isn`t as good as the competition
- No fingerprint scanner
- A costly proposition

Display: the unbreakable
+
The halo feature of the Moto X Force is its display and that’s why we’ll start our review by talking about it. Motorola has employed its proprietary ShatterShield technology to ensure that the screen doesn’t shatter with drops. As per a study by Motorola, dropping phones is a common phenomenon, and results in the display being broken more often than not. We have been victims of this ourselves, and the brand has taken complete steps to ensure that’s not the case with its flagship offering.

Design: solid build
+
At first glance, the Motorola Moto X Force seems to follow its siblings in terms of the design aesthetics, apart from the fact that it has a slightly smaller footprint. Both the Moto X Style and the X Play are built around screens measuring 5.7-inches and 5.5-inches respectively, while the X Force is fitted with a display panel sized 5.4-inches.

Software: the goodness of gooey Marshmallow in its purest form
+
In terms of software and camera, the Moto X Force is pretty much identical to its brothers, so we’d urge you to check our reviews to get all the details. But, we certainly can take you through the basics.

Camera: same as its siblings
+
In the optics department, the Moto X Force flaunts a 21-megapixel sensor at the back and a 5MP front-facing shooter. Both the snappers get help from an LED flash to illuminate dim environments. The camera interface offered by Motorola phones remain barebones, to the extent that some users might not like it at all. While the interface is good, due to the minimalism, it also looses out on several options available in most camera apps. You can only change picture or video sizes, toggle HDR and LED flash with the available camera app.

Performance: the force is strong with this one
+
Keeping up with flagship credentials, Motorola has packed the Moto X Force with top-of-the-line hardware. Inside ticks Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 SoC, which now can be considered older, since its successor, the Snapdragon 820 has started appearing in latest-gen premium devices. But the CPU is quite capable, thanks to its four high-power cores running at 2.0GHz and other four cores tuned at 1.5GHz. Combined along with 3GB of RAM, there’s enough firepower to ensure a smooth sailing for the handset. Be it doing basic things like moving between screens or intensive tasks such as running multiple apps together and switching between them… the phone doesn’t show any trace of lag.
