Moto X Play passes SIRIM. Coming to Malaysia soon

If you’re looking for the latest Moto X, it is definitely heading to Malaysia soon. The Moto X Play with the model number XT1562 has just passed our local SIRIM certification under distributor Brightstar.

For 2015, Motorola had announced 2 versions of the Moto X. The Moto X Style is the top of the range version with a 5.7″ Quad HD display and a higher-end Snapdragon 808 processor. Meanwhile the incoming model is the Moto X Play with a 5.5″ Full HD screen and a mid-range Snapdragon 615 Octa-Core processor with 2GB of RAM.

On-board there’s an option between 16GB and 32GB storage which can be expanded with microSD up to 128GB. At the back it gets a 21MP main camera with dual-tone LED flash while selfies are taken with its 5MP front camera.

While the specs appear to be a notch below the Moto X Style, the Moto X Play should deliver a longer battery life per change. This is thanks to its huge 3,630mAh capacity battery that’s rated for 30 hours of use. On top of that, it also splash proof thanks to a water repellent coating.

Connectivity wise, it supports 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and 4G LTE. According to the certification on SIRIM, we are getting the Dual SIM variant in Malaysia. Overall it weighs 169 grams which is respectable for its battery and it has a thickness of 10.9mm.
