Editorial

(this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, screen and imaging performance) The second flagship Motorola phone comes with considerable increase in weight, size, processing power, battery, screen and price. Still present are industry leading drop protection, OS support length and desktop replacement functionality. If you're okay with its 77mm(3.03in) width, you need to consider getting this phone.
