Sometimes one phone isn't enough for a company to please everyone. Sometimes it needs two. Or in case of Motorola on Tuesday that number is three - or four, depending upon how you see it. If the Moto G 3rd Gen smartphone that the company announced a few hours ago didn't cut it for you, the company has more enticing phones up its sleeves. Motorola has announced the launch of Moto X Play and Moto X Style aka Moto X Pure.
