Hi all, just thought I'd throw this one out here for you all to read. I have a Nexus 5, my wife bought me a Moto G for Xmas which I was going to use as a back up phone as I thought it would never be as good as my N5.
However, after having played with it for a bit and being thoroughly impressed, I went back to my N5, but I couldn't help but feel it was a bit too big, and that the screen looked too yellow, and that it just didn't feel so good to hold.
Now, don't get me wrong, the N5 is a firecracker of a device, it's blazingly quick, has every conceivable bit of hardware you could want, and performs reliably, but there is just an appeal to the Moto G that I can't quite put my finger on, that keeps dragging me back to it in favour of the N5.
I think, that every so often, someone comes up with a device that somehow just appeals in such a way that gets everyone talking about it, and this is one of those devices. Mainly due to the price, but for me, it's more about the timely updates and the fact that it just works, and well. It's not too big or too small. It doesn't feel cheap nor is it ostentatious. It's just right, and it has a battery that lasts all day, and as of yet, has never missed a beat. Motorola are going to sell shedloads of these things, and I for one will be watching closely to see what they bring out next..
Roll on Kitkat!

The N5 its a great device but i have to say that im WAY more impressed with the moto G than what i was with the N5...
Its justo an amazing phone with an amazing performance, not to mention its build quality feels a lot better than what other companies have in phones with 3 times the price (Samsung)
Its feels... Good

Yes, I think it boils down to expectations a lot. Although the N5 can be considered cheap for its spec, it's no where near as good value as the Moto G is

Sounds like you should just sell both of them and get a Moto X lol.
I would if I could buy one, not everybody lives in the states you know!

My Moto G get more use than my Note 3 does atm, I originally bought it as a backup & a works phone, but i finding myself taking it everywhere and leaving the Note 3 at home.
Tbh i think this is the best phone Motorola ever released in the UK at least.... No Moto X atm, and can't wait for it to get Kitkat sometime this month & it will get before the Note 3 see it aswell.
I had both and ended up returning the nexus 5 after I made up my mind that I wanted a cheap phone that just works. Moto G does that and more. It can honestly be the best midrange device if they sold it as such.

I still have my Nexus 5, although I may sell it at a later date and grab a 16gb Moto G. If I'd have known she was getting me one I'd have been cheeky and asked for a 16gb one.

I agree, the Moto G is really an amazing phone. First, I wanted to buy a Nexus 5 then I discovered the Moto G and bought it because of the really attractive price. And it's just perfect. The screen is great, the build quality is near perfect and the size of the device is perfect. I really enjoy my Moto G and I paid it only 139€ for the 16Gb/Go model.
Motorola just kill all the other budget phones...

True i paid £74 for mine try getting any other Android device with these kind of specs for that price is impossible.
Samsung, Sony, HTC & LG won't ever offer anything as good as the Moto G as they fear it cut into the sales of their top end smartphones, so they purposely dumb down the specs on their low to midrange phones.

How the heck did you get that for £74? Was that on PAYG? Was or is it locked to a network?

PAYG I work for Tesco's so with staff discount and a £15 voucher I received at Christmas in a booklet they gave all Staff
To me anyway.... I find the N5 like a Dodge viper.... Fast and powerful, but not too refined.... Not compared to the luxury car makers anyway.

Lucky Git lol!
Mine was from phones4u, although factory unlocked. So I don't mind paying a bit extra. I use it on 3 with all you can eat data, and even without dc-hspa capability I can still get around 10-14mb/s DL speed on it. The N5 however will reach about 23mb/s, but, in all honesty, the Moto is more than fast enough for most cases.

Well, the radio supports hspa+ which is theoretically capable of a maximum of 21Mb/s, so it should be capable of more under ideal conditions. Network traffic is most likely your problem being in London.

Seems to be even more entry level than the Moto G. They quote the price for the dual SIM + TV as R$599,00 - I'd expect it to retail for something like $119,00 / £89,00 / €129,00 SIM-free, unlocked.
Why would a more entry level phone cost more?

I'm going by Amazon prices here, but the cheapest G goes for $179 / £115 / €159,00. Obviously you can find it discounted, but this isn't what I'm talking about, I'm talking about standard prices.

Unlocked? Without contract?
It also looks like a Moto G LTE version is going to be released in the coming months as well. I would imagine the next version of the Moto G will have LTE as a standard feature. The costs of including multiple bands for LTE is coming down so it only makes sense.

Best phone I ever had

I might get the LTE Moto G since the screen on my current G is cracked/scratched at the upper right. It's barely noticeable, but it's noticeable enough to annoy me. Quite a few people like my phone and it isn't available here (I don't think Digicel plans on carrying this phone and it's expensive as hell to import) so I can most likely sell it for some good cash once I get the LTE version.
I am so buying it just for the lte features xD
I want the moderator to ban me.
Really ?Why here is so expensive ?

Hi,
I will get a Moto X Style (pure) in a while, and I was considering my options.
Bamboo back cover is awsome, but last year edition had so many troubles. Bamboo back covers started to unstick in a few weeks.
Anyone owns a bamboo one this year? Can confirm that the problem is solved in the Style edition?
Many thanks
Nobody?

I've tried on swappa but no luck. I've also tried eBay. But they seem pretty expensive. Anyone know of someone or a place where I can pick up an x force? I'm in California.

Don't buy it in other place your bootloader may be impossible to unlock.
You can also custom your Moto for free if you buy it on the official website.
For exemple you can have your name or anything on the back of the Moto.
You can also choose custom texture, and color for your phone and even a premium leather instead of the ballistic nylon! (but leather is not free of course, personally I have order my Moto in leather)

The name is Motorola Moto X Force for the entire world, except for the US where is "Moto Droid Turbo 2" I ****ing don't know why lol.
Yeah I was looking at Motorola website.. It's a lot cheaper but I don't have Verizon. I use cricket so I'm worried about some of the bands not being compatible.
I'm currently using an LG v10 and Xperia but thinking about getting rid of the v10 for a turbo 2/x force.
Mainly for that shatterproof screen.

Should I buy this phone? As I'm very impressed by the features of it but worried that will this phone and its LTE work in my country?
So I live in India and got budget around 10-13k.(150$ approx) Any good smartwatches under that price with atleast LTE. In worst case an old watch which can be flashed would also work.
Thanks in advance

Fossil Sport doesn't support LTE, but at the price 99$, it's totally the best, better than Ticwatch S2, E2 very much
