Moto G vs Galaxy S5
179.99$ vs 525.83$
This comparison doesn't make any sense.:silly:
Here is the problem with the video: Sukesh Banik, the guy who made the video, should have used "factory reset" on both phones before making this video. On the Moto G the Dialer and Messaging loaded faster because there were no number or messages. Even the gallery on Moto G was empty.
He should "Factory Reset" both phones and do a proper comparison video.
This is not the proper way to compare devices.

Well I have come to the moto g from a Nexus 5 32gb, the Nexus broke and I didn't want to spend that sort of money again, liked the idea of dual sim which I now use one sim for T mobile £20 for 6 months internet and a Giffgaff sim for calls and texts, works great and the signal strength is much better than the Nexus, also has better battery life plus on normal use there's very little difference between the two phones bar the very odd stutter here and there on the moto g, but given the price difference and cpu / rom etc the moto is a very capable device.

From Moto x pure to the N5x

I have to add that I just came from motorolas version of a nexus being the Moto x pure and I immediately had way more interest when i got my hands on the N5x.
Regardless of the Moto x specs 21mp cam and ram .... I get better pic quality by far even with only a 12.2 mp camera better keyboard response better feel with screen size more unique development and mods available and easier root etc...
Anyone agree coming from a Moto x ?

I fully agree!
I was switching the devices too and I'm far more "impressed" by the N5x, than I was when I unboxed my Moto X Style/Pure. Impressive Cam, very light, perfect size (at least for me), the battery stats (getting up to 6 SoT with Custom Kernel and deactivated encryption). I'm pretty happy with the switch and I'm not regretting it one bit.

Moto Display is much better than ambient display. It's one killer feature for Moto.

True.

Switched from moto x pure to N5X 3 week's ago. Was a bit hesitant because of the smaller battery and the 2gb ram on it. Somehow everything on the N5X feels right... The camera, the fingerprint sensor, the size and weight. I bought the moto x thinking I was done with rooting and modding my phone's but I was wrong. I enjoy playing with it too much and the dev support on the moto was just not strong enough for me. Indeed moto display does work better but then again...the N5X does have a LED on it. Getting 4 to 5hrs SOT on both phones and no lag so far....I'm really happy I made the switch!

Nexus 5X V Moto X Pure
I was considering between the two and decided to go with the 5X mainly because of the screen size and Nexus branding. Although, I was really on the fence about it because of the Moto X's superior memory (3GB vs 2GB) and video stabilization. In the end I am glad to hear the opinion of someone who has had experience with both #TeamNexus

I also sold my 2015 Moto X Pure Edition for the Nexus 5X. I would have probably kept it if it weren't for the size. Moto Display is better than Ambient Display, but they both suck on LCD screens. All of the Moto features were quite nice and added more value to the phone than most ROM features (IMO). It was near prefect but was too big and heavy for me. I probably wont ever own another "Moto" phone now that Motorola is now dead.

FWIW, before I got my smart watch I enjoyed a feature on Light Manager that would wake the screen up whenever I got a notification.

I've gone back an forth between both devices a few times and here are my thoughts. Battery life on the moto X is better. The Moto does not have input lag, where it can make the 5x at times very frustrating to use. You can certainly feel the difference that extra gig of ram makes. The nexus has the far superior camera and usability from a size stand point. I love the size and weight of the 5x. For me, in the end it was the moto x. I like the expandable memory and smooth operation of the device. The moto features are also a huge plus for me as I drive a lot in my job. Hope this helps.

Moto G4 Plus vs Lenovo Z2 Plus [URGENT]

Hello Everyone,
I bought a Moto G4 Plus a few months back but returned it as it was defective. Now I will be ordering another phone tomorrow, but now I am confused between two - Moto G4 Plus and Lenovo Z2 Plus( Zuk Z2), I feel that Z2 Plus is better in all aspects except the camera. Can someone please tell me how is the Camera of Moto G4 plus and if possible please compare it with the Z2 plus.
Also, if possible please suggest which phone should I buy.
Specs -
Z2 Plus - Snapdragon 820, 3500 Mah battery, 13MP camera(No OIS), 3GB RAM

Sounds like you'd be trading more performance for a better camera if you went with the G4. It's kinda up to you with what's more important.

Camera is a priority but performance stands higher.
But the Z2 also costs 50$ more so I can't decide.

As your name suggest you are an indian.And the g4 plus that are sold on amazon.in have many issues i.e all the g4 phone which are manufactured in india are a bit defective.Like overheat and screen burn are the two main problem I have seen .Zuk z1 was good and i think zuk z2 would be great. 4k rs investing more will give you a big jump in the specs

Z2

Should I buy the G4 Plus now or wait until the G5 Plus is released ?

Hi, I currently have a Moto G (2014) and I want to change my phone.
I don't know if I should wait for the moto G5 (I don't know the release date) or buy the G4 now.
I heard that it will be not much better than the G4 anyway ?
Also another question , how's the x265(1080p) decoding on Moto G4 ? Most of my video files are encoded in x265..

G5 images was fake... Go for g4 plus

Dunno

I havent had any problems with G4+. I dont play many games and I dont record long videos so I havent had any heat issues. I bought 64gb for $250 on Swappa.
I unlocked bootloader, Seamless root without any hiccups. Great device for me.
I dont think the Moto G series will get much better than the current Moto G4+ for a year or two.
PS I also have Moto G3 2015 as my oops phone. There is an advantage with Moto G4+.

Unless I'm mistaken it's the same hardware just with a fingerprint sensor and more storage options. I have the regular G4 and like it and wouldn't use the fingerprint anyways. If you want more storage it's probably cheaper to get like a 32-64gb as card for cheaper than the price difference of buying the other phone model. Just my opinion.

Go for Moto G4 plus now !
Go for G4+ as the G5 news cannot be relied upon. Also, your G(2014) is way too old, if you wanna change your phone, G4+ would be best so far in that price range. Waiting for G5 at this stage will make you halt for atleast a year-and-half from now, and would not contain much of the "GREATER" changes. As for codec support, the device (G4+) works perfectly fine with the x265(1080p) decoding. In fact it works brilliant with all codecs.

Wait for REDMI 4 PRIME ( Snapdragon 625, 4000mAh battery,3GB RAm,32 gb internal, fingerprint scanner), all under 15K!!!!!
Its rumoured to launch in India in Jan/Feb.
I would hold my horses and wait for its launch,Snapdragon 617 is one of the worst performing Soc ever(I didn't forgot Snapdragon 810 v2.1)
PS: I have nothing against g4 plus except that mediocre processor used by Moto to save cost!! I recommended my sister to buy moto g4 plus, it's an excellent camera phone under 15K,if not the best budget phone.

The phone throttles very soon and is not good basic functionality like recording FHD videos as the frame drops starts to occur and is even present in the saved video file. Also not good for gaming more than 30min!!!!!!

It was fixed some months ago. No overheating issues viewing VR 360º videos or playing Asphalt 8 in latest MM or Nougat.

Moto X Pure to Moto G5 Plus...upgrade?

I have the Moto X Pure (2015) and it is starting to feel sluggish especially with switching between apps. I don't really play games on my phone but would like the option. I pretty much just watch Netflix/Youtube/Hulu, etc...take pictures of my family, and surf the internet. Oh yeah and email and text and phone calls but I figured those were a given.
I have pretty much narrowed it down within my budget that IF I replace the Moto X Pure it will be with the G5 Plus. My question is, is this an upgrade all the way around or is it better in some areas (RAM) and worse in others (processor)? Thanks in advance for any input.

As you have mentioned above if you do lot of media consumption then moto X pure is good as it has QHD with stereo speakers compare to FHD screen and monospeaker.
You can consider Moto G5+ only if you want better camera, better battery life and better gaming performance.
As Moto X pure has SD808 you won't feel a very much improved performance in G5+ with SD625. But G5+ has best in class performance than its competitors except memory management which can be fixed. Its all up to your need.
