Moto X Pure Edition Review: Big Deal

Back in 2013, the original Moto X was a breath of fresh air to a smartphone community already growing fatigued of phablet disease. It was a smaller, humbler phone that focused on usability, not bragability: a smartphone to restore sanity.
The sanity was short-lived. Last year’s sequel to the original Moto X upped the build quality and processor specs, and also significantly expanded the phone’s size. It was still a fantastic device, but in inflating itself to appeal to a mainstream audience, it lost some of the whimsy that had made its predecessor so compelling.
Flash forward to 2015 … and it seems the newly "Lenovo-fied" Motorola has no intention of returning to a niche audience. The Moto X Pure Edition (or Moto X Style if you live outside the US) is a 5.7-inch, Quad-HD monster of a smartphone primed to do battle with the top-end phablets of the modern world ... and it's priced to move, too. How much of the original Moto X vision does it sacrifice to get there? And was the tradeoff worth it?
