The Moto X Style battery has a capacity of 3000mAh and supports fast charging mode. The official propaganda statement is 15 minutes of charging for 10 hours, which is the fastest on the market at present. The battery still uses LG batteries, and the thickness of the battery is 3.2mm. The temperature rises quickly during the charging process of the mobile phone, which may be due to fast charging, but in normal use, the temperature control of the mobile phone is not very ideal.

In order to achieve a good cooling effect, all the metal shields are covered with large graphite. The back of the motherboard also uses a larger copper foil.

The display has been expanded from 5.2 inches to 5.7 inches, and the AMOLED screen has been swapped from a 1080P to a 2K (2560 x 1440) LCD screen. The bezel is also narrower. Unlike the previous generation, a metal plate has been added to the back of the screen for internal support. This metal plate strengthens the stability of the body but also further increases the thickness of the body.

At the top of the front of the phone are the infrared sensor, the light/distance sensor, the earpiece, the infrared sensor, the front camera, and the selfie light.

Moto X Style has a 21MP rear camera with an F2.0 aperture, a dual flash, and a 5MP front camera.

Motherboard Front: 6-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor, Samsung’s 3GB RAM, Toshiba’s 32GB flash memory, Qualcomm QCA6174A of Wi-Fi, BT, NFC chip, two Qualcomm power management chips, Japan AKM’s electronic compass chip.

There is a large piece of copper foil in the middle of the back of the motherboard, and there is no chip; only a microphone, four infrared sensors, and ground shrapnel are integrated.
