Motorola revealed Moto X lined-up for 2015 and we are amazed with the devices' revelations. Moto X is available in Pure Edition, Style and Play variants. The Pure and Style are similar; the only difference is that Pue Edition is available worldwide without a contract. That's why, we choose Moto X Pure Edition for our review.

Xiaomi Mi 4c
We selected Xiaomi Mi 4c, for our category of powerful devices that costs $400 andbelow.
Given it’s a low priced smartphone, users might think that this device is just an entry-level. However, Chinese compromised on the areas that would not affect the device in general. Its design and structure are not metal but a plastic polycarbonate. Xiaomi has a high quality devices like Mi Note and Mi4, which has a glass and metal body. Previously, the company is able to keep the price down all that high quality materials for all that high quality materials.
Xiaomi Mi 4c has the smallest display size of all smartphone on the list, with its 5-inch 1080p display capable of 441ppi. However it is the biggest bargain Xiaomi has made. Under the hood is Qualcomm Snapdragon 808, Adreno 418 GPU and a minimal storage of 16GB and 32 GB with no microSD card slot for extension. It also has two options for RAM, its basic model starts with 2GB while 32GB storage option has 3GB RAM.
Its camera is impressive with a 13MP rear sensor and a 5MP front camera, together with a USB Type-C port, offered for $239 for the basic model. Its high end model costs $289 for 32GB. The only challenge is buying this device in United States. Xiaomi is selling this phone on limited areas so buying it in US may add some price that makes it expensive. However, the device still drops in $400 even if users import it from China.
Microsoft Lumia 640XL
We chose to provide Windows phone an opportunity as well. The Operating System is stillbattling to collect important market share and Microsoft desires items with Windows 10;we also wish they would perform far better. The Windows 10 smartphones Microsoft lately released which includes Lumia 950 and 950XL.
Microsoft has guaranteed users that other Lumia options will gradually get he upgrade to the new OS. This provides us to Lumia 640XL. The 6 set is considered inexpensive but sometimes directed to inexpensive and has low specification. However, Windows OS operates differently than Android, in can work in effectively on low specification and will not get slow at all. However, Microsoft is able to maintain the price tag lowand aspires an inexpensive phone.
Lumia 640XL come with a 5.7-inch, 720p display with 259ppi. In contrast to the competition, the pixel thickness is way low but with the company’s ClearBlack technology issues are in fact far better for the phone. Therefore, the low ppi count should not put off possible costumers. The phone houses an outdated Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, a quad-core processor capable of 1.2GHz, along with 1GB RAM. It offers 8GB storage expandable via a MicroSD card slot. Other than that, Microsoft pitches in OneDrive cloud storage space as well.
The main camera sensor is 13MP, with no 4K video shooting but a 5MP front camera. The device comes with a replaceable 3,000mAh battery, hence the consumers who are seeking for detachable battery choices can rely on Lumia phones. This is a unique environment with an application store and may not be appropriate to all. However, Microsoft desires builders to jump for more applications improvement and assistance, and Windows 10 may in fact make a Lumia line-up quite thrilling. For $250 Lumia 640XL may switch to be a good deal, if the consumers are comfortable with Windows environment.
This ends up our list of Top Smartphones under $40 in 2015. One More Smartphone, Huawei Honor 6 also provides great deal of power, is wonderful as well and it costs under $400.
