Because Candy Crush and The Mail Online don't need a high spec handset....

​True but the smart ultra 6 will never see Marshmallow, never mind Android N. Plus the camera is far better here and so is the build quality, screen is a better quality panel, water repellent nano coating, front facing speaker, customisation in Moto maker, Turbo charging support. Oh and that battery life though! I think it is worth the extra cash for people who care about those things.

This is a mid range phone, you should always look at it chipset before buying a phone. The 615 Snapdragon (SD) doesn't compare to the LG G4 808 SD chipset.
4xx SD chipset (budget), 6xx SD chipset (mid range), 8xx SD chipset (flagship). This phone is over priced and for me, to be a good deal has to be sub £170. This phone would have been a good phone and worth it launch price if it came with an old 801 SD chipset like what Oneplus have done with the OnePlus X

I've always been sceptical about software updates in that they don't make much difference to a phone, but I have to say Marshmallow on the X Play has made a big difference for the better, and with the long battery life it's a supurb phone. I would add that my wife does have a Smart Ultra and that is a very good phone.

Are they likely to kick up a fuss about the code stacking after ordering?

I think it's over priced for 615 cpu phone. Pretty well built but the SU6 is as good spec wise for half the price.

Agree totally with all of that. But having had a 615 I found it slow, not as bad as the moto g 3rd gen I have at mo though lol. Just not sure its worth double with a 615 in it, just my opinion though.

Thanks :smiley:

​I agree with the 615 point, Moto made the wrong decision and I think they should have put in the the older yet more powerful 801 like the Moto X 2014. Still apparantly now the Play has got the Marshmallow update it performs far better than it did under lollipop.
