This is the exact reason I'm leaning towards Play.

I'm bit worried about Snapdragon 615 performance. I never used any Android with mid range processor, always chosen the high end. I wish they put older yet more powerful 805 in Play. :-?

Also I heard 615 doesn't support Quick Charge 2.0.

Not good, without this I won't buy a 3000+ battery. So far, so close to the perfect phone. 615 is a mediocre chipset, but I have used my friends' Desire 820 extensively, very fluid, but it does have a 720p display. Need to see real life test results and reviews.

Moto didn't declare when it will launch in India. If they didn't announce till 10 Aug I will have no choice and buy Oneplus 2 64GB for 25k as it has 3,300 mAH as well.

One plus is a good choice, just three things keep me discouraged from buying it.

1. Take a look at flipkart customer reviews, its filled with horrendous stories of after sales service. And even they did deny it, my friend suffered from the yellow screen issue, had to return his phone to amazon. Deniability and lack of after sales support are two things I really dread.

2. The snapdragon 810, even though they had underclocked it, the whole architecture generates too much heat. Now you know that not every CPU generates the same heat, some generate more, some less. Its very common with pc cpus, some will run hotter and take more voltage, some will do the reverse. Every company sets a TDP range to test their cpus. So what is they are sending the cherry picked versions to reviewers? Intel has been doing this ages, nVidia also does this. I had personally seen two graphics cards generating different amount of heat. And what if I end up getting a slightly hotter version? If it was Exynos I would have been fine, but an architecture which suffers from overheat are prone to issues like this.

3. Invites, I just hate that $hit, its not like I am getting a discount, or getting a very cheap phone. If I have money I should be able to buy the phone whenever and wherever I like, I won't just wait till an invite pops up or beg for one at the OP forums.

I think I'll just wait for reviews for the Play and Style.

Before this announcement, I was waiting for OnePlus Two and for Nexus 5 2015. Now, I'm really waiting for Moto X 2015.

My only concern is, will UI be as smooth as a Nexus 5 or Nexus 6 ? I've never used a Motorola phone and only had a chance to spend a minute with Moto X 1st gen, UI responsiveness was nowhere close to Nexus 5.

Moto phones (including E, G and X) are all very close to the stock ROM of Nexus, if not completely same. You can't really judge responsiveness in 1 minute of usage.
What comes extra with Moto X is the Active display feature which lacks in Nexus due to it not being AMOLED display. That's the only reason why I had to go with Moto X instead of Nexus 5.

Price will play a vital point. The direct conversion of the US price is promising. But if they launch it in increased price it will be a deal breaker

I can pay 25K for the 32GB Play, or 28k max for the 32GB Style. Anything more breaks the deal.

Dude why 25k for X play? It comes with S615 that is also present in a 10k phone Yureka Plus.
I once bought a tablet from Micromax for less than half the price of the competing brand(Samsung), it was the most painful experience in my life. I'd gladly pay some extra for quality and after sales service. Plus I'm interested in the battery very much.

No news for Play and Style release. I hope they release it before the year's end.
This does not feel good, retailers have already started to take pre orders for Play in UK and both Play and Style in Belgium. I'm worried that Motorola would just throw the Moto G at us and hope to keep us quite.

In that case Google will get my money(Nexus 2015).
