@iloveindia
Thanks for your response

Hi everyone.
I am torn apart among Moto G4 Plus, Motorola's last year flagship Moto X Style and Honor 8. I would appreciate any ideas and pros and cons. I am not a gamer, but my device is normally loaded with apps. Camera is very important, fluid and lag free performance is also a must.
Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you very much for the clarification. :good::good:
I think I will also order the G4 Plus.

[REQUEST] Any chance of getting the Moto G4/G4 Plus camer app over to Moto X Pure?

I tried the Moto G4 at a store recently and really hated the display, so I decided to take advantage of the pricing for the Amazon Prime deal today and pickup the Pure X. One thing that I do like on the Moto G4+ is the advanced options in the Camera app, as well as the dedicated shutter button!
Any chance this can be ported over to Moto X Pure?

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.

Proper Motorola replacement for Moto X Pure (Republic Wireless compatible)

Motorola sent us a Z2 Play as a replacement for my wife's X Pure. It seemed on the surface like an upgrade, but I looked up some specs and benchmarks on passmark and phonescoop and I'm second guessing our decision.
I don't think they'll go for something higher priced like a Z3 Play (It's $100 more than what we paid), but I'm looking for suggestions on what I should ask them for. It has to be a Motorola and it has to be compatible with Republic Wireless.
I realize no matter what, we're losing out on the camera. I have yet to see anything close to the 21MP camera on the Pure. I also don't know if they would give us a credit for the full amount and we could buy the higher priced z3 play.
Advice greatly appreciated.
Here are the supported BYOP phones for RW.
Moto E4 (XT1768)1
Moto E4 Plus (XT1775)1
Moto G5 Plus (XT1687)1
Moto G5S Plus (XT1806)1
Moto G6 (XT1925-6)1
Moto G6 Play (XT1922-9)1
Moto X4 (XT1900-1)1
Moto Z3 Play (XT1929-4)1
Moto G4 (XT1625)1
Moto G4 PLAY (XT1607)1
Moto G4 PLUS (XT1644)1
Moto X Pure Edition (XT1575)1
Moto Z (XT1650-03)1
Moto Z Play (XT1635-02)1
Moto Z2 Play (XT1710-01)1

The speaker isn't as loud on the z3 play but it sounds really clear. The screen isn't quite as bright in bright sunlight but the battery life is so much better with the z3 play. I love it. Am not sorry I got it. Best buy met Amazon's price. I just wish I could figure out a mod compatible case to use with the battery pack they throw in with the deal. Can you tell what I think you should do?!?
