Great phone for the price, definitely pick it up
Everything from the packaging to the phone was just amazing. I got it when it said that it was going to be back in stock at a later sate bbut then the shipping was bumped up to the same week so don’t be afraid of the in stock later date.The phone is amazing. Depending on your internet speed, it will take a while for the four updates to take places; it goes from Kitkat, to the latest Lollipop and Marshmallow is expected soon.Apart from that, everything is great from the screen (super bright and vibrant) to the performance (which is impeccable for the price – I got 44000 on Antutu after downloading some apps. It got 30 – 50 FPS in the game region which is great. The phone is just really fast and can compete with the big flagship phones) to the gameplay (which is very fluid with no lag issues on arcade games, haven’t tried frame intensive games) to the camera (absolutely amazing especially in apps like Instagram and Snapchat) to the microphones (I could talk to it from a good few feet away in the ideal conditions). The only thing is no SD card slot but everything else is great. Not to mention the cool Moto features and NFC support.3 days updateThe phone is still holding beautifully.It better than ever with around 5GB left in storage (after downloading a lot of games and social media apps). Just monitor your storage so you don’t use it up all at once. But as it is, the phone is functioning beautifully and it working like a charm.It still doesn’t lag and functions beautifully and the more graphic intensive games like FIFA 15 and easily handles games like Crossy Road with ease. Day to day tasks are even smoother with no stuttering, just fluid actions from opening apps to using them for long periods of time to jumping from one to another; the RAM is holding up spectacularly.I would highly recommend getting a quick charger with it so you can keep it charged. You’ll need it if you use your phone alot.All the Moto Actions still work and as time passes, the phone gets to know you better so it appears to work better over time (just make sure all the apps are up to date).Just a really great phone overall. If I had a Micro SD card slot, there’d be nothing stopping it but it does support USB OTG (so to some measure, the phone is perfect).

New old stock (possibly refurbished?)
Because this phone came out 3 years ago and there are many reviews already written about it, I’m going to limit the scope of my review to how this “old inventory” phone met my expectations.Background: I’ve actually had this exact model phone since 2014 soon after it first came out, and I still use it daily. It works great, but the battery is past is useful life. The phone shuts off when the battery gets to about 40%, and it gets there quick. So I’ve been looking for a new phone, but refuse to spend over $200 for something that I could lose, drop in the toilet, etc. I just need a phone that’s fast enough for typical daily use.My search led me back to the Moto X2, which for $50-100 cheaper here than any modern budget phone (i.e. Moto G5) seemed like a good deal. I was unsure what state this would be received in since it’s been in a box for 3+ years. I ordered one being “shipped and sold by Amazon”.I’ve only had it a day now, but first impressions are positive. The box was not shrink wrapped, which made me suspect if this is a refurbished phone. Also, the black phone came with a white charger and cable. When I ordered my new one 3 years ago, the black phones came with black accessories, and white with white. Also, while the phone exterior looked clean, there was a little paint scuffing inside the charger port. (Not being picky here, just trying to discern if this is really a “New” phone as advertised, or is actually “Refurbished”.)The phone came branded with the AT&T Logo, and is XT1097 as advertised. So it will not get Android updates beyond 5.1 Lollipop. (Honestly that may be a good thing, as my wife’s Moto G3 and subsequent Asus Zenfone Laser 3 both got significantly slower with the Android updates pushed to them.)Time will tell how the battery performs on this new-old phone. Will the 3 years of storage have been bad for its ability to hold a charge? TBD…

Best Phone for the Price
Even in 2016, this is a great phone. I bought it for $199, making it an especially good deal. Internally, this phone packs a 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 processor. Applications open quickly, and there is no lag within the phone. The AMOLED screen produces vibrant colors, albeit a little over saturated. With the Adreno 330 GPU, gaming is smooth. The FHD display is more than adequate for the 5.2″ screen, and I believe that using a WQHD screen would be pointless. The visuals are crystal clear. The phone does not have stereo speakers despite its appearance, but the sound quality is still extremely loud and clear. The matte black finish is quite smooth, soft, and pleasant to hold.As a Motorola phone, this phone should receive quick updates to the newest version of android extremely quickly. Furthermore, the operating system is not full of bloatware that Samsung and LG install with the phone, but rather a few apps that allow for hands-free gestures and other shortcuts. These apps can be easily disabled at the users discretion, but I find them extremely useful.One thing that should be pointed out it that this phone DOES NOT have full support for T-Mobile’s network. You will be able to text, call, and browse online, but the data speed and coverage will not be optimal.

Don’t buy this AT&T junk. It’s bootloader locked and cannot be rooted.
