Motorola Moto X Pure EditionEven though it strays pretty far from the original Moto X's philosophy, you really can't go wrong with the Moto X Pure Edition. The winning combination of high-end specs, great build quality, useful software features and an impressive camera make up for the Moto X's few shortcomings. Battery life isn't the greatest and we've experienced a small amount of performance hiccups. But if you can get past that, the new Moto X is probably the phone for you.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus comes with various storage capacities: 128GB, 512GB and 1TB. The 128GB and 512GB variants have 8GB of RAM, but the 1TB variant is unique, offering 12GB of RAM. If you are willing to pay nearly $1,600 you can get a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus with 1TB of storage, 12GB of RAM in either Ceramic Black or Ceramic White.

Fast forward a year and Samsung showed it listens to users by introducing considerably larger batteries in the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, with the 3000mAh and 3600mAh non-removable units an increase of 18% and 40% over their predecessors respectively.
Motorola Android phones are some of the toughest devices to root. Most of time, the rooting methods for such devices are complicated and hard for newbies to follow. Tutorials such as one-click procedures are sought-after especially if there are ADB commands involved in the process.
However, if you own a Motorola Droid X, you will be happy to know that you can still root your device without breaking a sweat. Some developers from RootzWiki have come up with a special procedure that achieves the same as the one-click process that you are familiar with.

Samsung has said it’ll issue an update to fix the problem. Samsung once again finds itself in hot soup after being accused of cheating on hardware benchmarks.
