Motorola added a gyroscope to the 4G version so you can take Photospheres with the Google Camera app.

This is making my Moto G obsolete so fast
Dunno, but I don't find having a gyro so important.
Why are you guys so excited about it?
OMG, this makes the device perfect for me <3 Thanks for this information! I'm looking forward to the european launch at the end of june.

For me it's all about photosphere. It's a really cool feature.
I sold my regular Moto G to get a 4g LTE version...
Didn't notice the gyroscope before, but after reading this thread, tested the camera and looks like the gyroscope is there...
Is Moto G 4G already available in US? I cannot find it for example on BestBuy website, why?

You can buy the Moto G LTE from Amazon:

It supports both ATT and T-Mobile LTE bands

That works on my Nexus 4, but I really don't find it useful. It's like 360 degree panorama (crappy one...)
Oh well, that's what I think of it. If you find it useful, then have fun with it
Guess this explains why the LTE comes with Spotlight Player installed as a system app :cyclops:

Not only gyro is used by camera, it is also used by many apps (this includes peek from paranoid android)
4g LTE guys are having the best of everything.. Removable SD card, gyro scope and not to mention newer hardware ?

But still the phone without development is as good as brick device
Not to hurt anyone it's a fact
I believe 4g also get the light of development but we have to wait

The launch price is £149, but in the UK, it's being quoted as £10 more for £159. Considering you can now get the moto g for £100 quite easily (I got it for £78 with vouchers etc), its still a fantastic deal, so don't feel left out . As ever, you get what you pay for.

My friend asked me for an entry level android phone recommendation; I think I am going to tell him to grab this 4g one. Now with the gyroscope, very cool. High end features in a cheap device. Seems like a solid android device. I have an N5 myself, which I really like, but this phone seems pretty good. You guys like it?

No doubt about it, the 4G sounds great. The 3G one will also drop and remains a bargain

How long did yours take to arrive?
What style did you choose?
I have just been on the phone to them.
If you ring them they will give you £60 worth of vouchers to use.
I said I don't want vouchers I'll rather have £60 refunded to me. They said they can't do anything, so I said I am entitled under UK law to return the phone within 2 weeks of receiving it.
So now they are processing a return for me.
Stupidity beyond belief.

No answer on the phone, no answer on the chat, we will see the email...
The vouchers are valid only for 24 hours and to buyanother phone, no the moto 360.
That's ridiculous.
Yes I know. Im going to pass the vouchers to a friend, he is buyimg it later
Order placed - 32Gb £399 - Est Delivery 10 Nov.....
Bought the 16GB in black for £359.99.
The ETA of the 10th of November is a bit of a letdown, let's hope it's quicker for such a standard choice (all basic black) :highfive:

Same ETA here, I went all black with Red trim :good:
I had a similar eta when I ordered mine but it arrived in 5 days.
My ETA was about 6 days. Arrived in 3. Was bloody immense.

After Lollipop I will have a think. This phone is so good on stock anyway I've not the urge for KitKat. I do know I'd like a few edits on Lollipop though.
Do miss it a bit

Good Enjoying running lollipop on my N5, but craving new hardware :laugh:
Stock on the Moto X does look perfect, but you know once lollipop hits we have to get this dev section going :victory:
Really hoping I get the phone by the end of this week, but it looks like Moto may have a lot of orders to go through (hence the long ETA). The droid turbo does look nice but as someone on here pointed out to me, capacitive buttons, yuck!

I got rid of the nexus in the end and kept the HTC M8, had to get the moto x though. Wanted it from last years model so just bit the bullet. Hopefully you get a good turnaround on your delivery. I imagine I won't be able to resist making something when lollipop drops.
Going to have to get my hands on a moto 360 as well I think.
No droid turbo though. For the same reason. On screen keys are the way forward !
We all knew it was coming, but it looks like Motorola has finally officially changed hands from Google to Lenovo. I went to their site this morning and got a new flash animation site entry trailer that said Motorola a Lenovo Company. The 2014 X was certainly a product of the Google era, it will be interesting to see which way it goes now.
As long as they don't screw with quick updates and the performance of these phones, I don't care.
Well i ordered my moto x yesterday through motomaker. It already has been assembled and is now shipping from shenzen. I have to say i am living in Germany

Shouldn't really change much for these devices, Google is still in the works with Motorola due to the Nexus 6. So in terms of "3rd parties" outside of Google, Moto should be getting the updates for L out the quickest (helped by their stock approach as well).
It's still A "Motorola" phone. Parent company changing doesn't suddenly change that.

You must be joking right ?
Motorola - An iconic brand with it's own character.
What I want and expect is it remains Motorola forever. I bought my last Moto when company was dying, it was an Atrix 2 which is still my primary and only phone I have been using since more than 2.5 years. That time I though it may turn out my last Moto. But I am feeling so glad and lucky that company bounced back so strongly and today I have few great choices as my upgrade options. :good:
Though would have liked to see ownership of the company would have remained in the hands of Motorola itself or atleast in hands of Google.

So...... anyone from Singapore has seen this baby in the wild?? or know of any good sellers aside from "The Open Surface"/ any independent sellers/ group ordering etc??
I would like to avoid Sim Lim as much as possible... we all know why... :cyclops:
Not that I know of, it is quite difficult to order one already, let alone spares.
However there is one dude from Hardwarezone that managed to order multiple sets but he have a long waiting list of people who wants to get it from him.
I'm using one myself now, though.

damnn i hope the situation improves like how it did for the nexus 4... how much did you shell out for it? if not might be forced to go for the moto x 2014.... not that its not a good phone, but looking at the dev support on here its mehh compared to the nexus 6 =P

I thought of getting the Moto X 2014 too but I still think the Nexus 6 is a better choice for me. I got it straight from that dude so I forked out $1050 for it.
32gb?

I'm a little bit tempted even though it's still a little on the big side. I'd have to see it in the flesh before biting the bullet.
I'll wait for reviews and the build quality.

Lol that's the price we pay for having an Android phone.
If you think it's bad on Android, you'll laugh at how often the Windows phones get updated (never).
No, it was not that bad with my old nexus.
I have to admit one thing: my moto x 2014 is by far from a pure hardware point of view the best smartphone I ever had.
But from a pure software point of view I'm overly deceived. Moto has made a lot of publicity of themselves arguing they are the best at providing updates in a small timeframe, but they never respected their own claims.
If in future I have to choose between an OK smartphone with stellar software support and a stellar smartphone with no guarantee of software updates ( especially monthly security updates ) I will for sure choose the first one.
But yes, other than that Moto X Force looks good
Is the force only available in the UK?
