Moto G discontinued (Flipkart confirms remaining stock is the last)

Moto G2 is set to be announced on the September 4 event internationally, Indian announcement to follow on September 5 at New Delhi. It was a question whether Motorola would discontinue the moto g in favor of G2. Flipkart now announced that they are conducting the sale [of the] last stock of Moto G. So it is confirmed that the Moto G will be discontinued and its place will be taken by the Moto G2.
Moto G has been hugely successful in India. Moto announced that it sold over 1 million handsets through Flipkart till June. Moto is now the 4th biggest smartphone company in India, ahead of Nokia. They achieved this by just 3 handsets, most of the nmbers is because of Moto G.
Moto recently slashed Moto G’s price by Rs.2000 due to recent increase in competition (read Xiaomi Mi 3 and Asus Zenfone 5), making it more attractive for buyers and a nicer deal. Moto G 8gb model recently got out of stock recently and have not been replenished till now. It is to be expected that it was the last stock of Moto G 8gb version. Now, with Flipkart’s ‘Get yours before it’s gone!’ sale, it might be your last chance to get a Moto G.
Moto G2 has been in news and leaks for some time. In case you don’t know, G2 is said to feature a 5-inch 720p display with the same snapdragon 400 processor coupled with 1GB ram. Camera units might be a 5 or 8 megapixel primary with 2 megapixel secondary. It is also said to feature dual front speakers like the htc One. The price might be slightly higher than the Moto G.
Moto G 16gb is set to go out of stock soon and will be permanently unavailable soon. Flipkart is also offering 50% off on Moto G accessories in favor of clearing out stock. It is the best and last time you can get your Moto G, Buy it now or never!

I suppose the good news is that Moto G 2 appears to be essentially the same hardware as Original Moto G. That should mean it won't take much more work for Motorola to create versions of Android 'L' that work on both devices.

I don't care if this or that is discontinued, I just wish my little fellow gets a taste of Android L... Hope to see a new notification saying "New system update available".. That's all I want.. :crying:
Android L will be the last system update for moto g for sure.. In the future, when android M and N comes out, we will have to look at Cyanogen to have a new custom firmware...

Well,this is sad,because this device is highly known and a great quality device. I think it deserves to get android L at least,and for future updates we cant rely on Cyanogenmod,because currently do not have a high support. I dont know who this guy Ethan Chen is,but i know that dhacker is a great dev,and his support was better. I'm 99.9% shure that he would port L and future updates if he was an offical maintainer.
So in conclusion,we just need barebone android L image and the majority of us will be satisfied.

The Moto G will get the Android L upgrade and i guarantee it. Motorola is still not fully with Lenovo yet. And i read since that Moto's software is near AOSP it should be easy for them to upgrade us soon, but since the Moto G2 is coming out we may get it like a week or two later. Remember how we got kitkat on December 24 even though Motorola said it was coming early 2014 or something like that?

bummer... many people have bought moto g on my recommendation. they are going to kill me.
lets hope android l is in cards and custom roms continue to flourish... cant upgrade my phone yearly

That's true, since this is a worldwide well known device, it should receive L, because it would be a great hit between customers. But if you think, maybe if falcon is discontinued, for Motorola won't be necessary to upgrade the device to L since moto g won't be available anymore.
But, if Motorola wants to be recognized as one of the best device maintainers talking about updates, they must consider upgrade falcon to L. Then, Motorola users, with no doubt, will gen a moto in the future instead of buying another phone.

Larger screen on g2 with same resolution translates to lower PPI. Only significant change is the camera.

I actually bought the g for the smaller screen and 720p quality . I already have the s3 and s4 which are slightly uncomfortable to hold in one hand due to their larger screens . I also have the moto e which is as good as the g. You won't find much difference in the moto g and e for daily use except if you need the front camera for video calls then moto g does not have it . Sorry for being slightly OT .

moto g will get android l

They aren't discontinuing it until they release the Moto G2. So it isn't like you won't be able to get one for the same similar price and hardware.

Yes, and the Moto G2 is coming out in a few weeks. So there is no great loss. This is what happens when new generations of phones come out.

isn't it a loss for someone looking for a good small sized handset? Not everyone is the fan of a 5-inch device.Right?

Sure. But if the phone size itself is the same, I think most people will be fine with it.

So one company announces it will stop selling Moto G's in favour of the G2 and the community think that is equivalent to the G being discontinued? Oh, by the way, here in the UK, carphone warehouse have listed the Moto G in their stores as "new". Just for the record.

May be. But the leaked images shows a slightly bigger phone right? Bezels are also not that thin like G3. So how can you expect a device of similar size?

Driving and Home mode now available for Moto G through update of Contextual Service

Check your updates from Play Store!

Moto G 2015 the last of it's kind?

Lenovo announced on CES that for the future they are planning to focus on the high end market with the Moto brand and are probably going to discontinue the Moto E and Moto G in favour of Lenovo's Vibe brand.

Yeah seems like moto g has gone, which unfornatelly was one of the best in this category of budget phones what is sad, I think for now the only way is the Nexus line or one PLUS which are a little more expensive..

"Although we are simplifying the combined Motorola and [Lenovo] portfolio, we have no plans to retire Moto G, our most successful smartphone, or Moto E," a Motorola representative says.

Yes, there'll never be another 2015 Moto G, because - guess what? It'll never be 2015 again

Obviously they had to backtrack a bit when that spokesperson's comments were taken out of context: as stated, the Moto G is the most successful smartphone Motorola ever created over the 3 generations so far, there's no way in hell they would ever just totally dismiss the mid-range market the Moto G tends to basically rule in at this point.
I just got a Moto G3 today, not a bad device overall, not bad at all. Not sure if I'll keep it or go so far as to unlock it but so far it's decent, nice performance as well. I'm very familiar with the Snapdragon 400 series and the battery life, I had an LG Tribute last year and was easily getting 9 hours of SOT with it consistently so I figure with a few tweaks I should get something very similar with this Moto G - that is if I decide to keep it.

Motorola's official statement, if anybody is interested:

As long as they continue firmware support for the current models I'm alright with all this.

Its only going to be available in UK and India for now, no mention of other countries or continents.
We are also getting a moto g4 "play" in UK, an identical device to the new E3, but with more ram (2gb) for £130, that's around $150, quite what the point of that device is I'm not sure.......

It looks like the only difference between the G4 Play and the E3 is the processor (SD410 vs MT6735P) and the speaker being on the lower chin of the device.

It will REALLY please most people that the moto e3 will be a mediatek.......NOT[emoji26]
I made a post on the moto e general section early in the year when the specs for the 3rd gen were first rumoured, and was was told there was NO way moto would give such a popular device a mediatek processor, oh well!

Oh i just noticed your signature. At least your software version is V11i-234-30. Mines still stuck at v10b.

Have you checked LG Bridge?
I'm also on a H870 in the UK. Been running Oreo, April 2018 security patch, for the last month or 2. Got almost all of my 4 updates so far using Bridge.

EE are notorious for late updates but this is ridiculous, currently using a Nokia 7 plus until EE do the right thing, but having been using O 8,1 since I got the Nokia I find Nougat cumbersome.

Nope. Totally stock and nothing has been changed.

I also am on January security update with stock at&t version NO sign of an update as of yet though I read that at&t is currently updating the G6 to Oreo. Nothing here yet, Soon it will be a year that Oreo was released this is poor for both LG and at&t with a so called flagship phone that I paid top dollar for.

Got my G6 today and several large updates were applied to Nougat and the last one, around 1800
MB iirc, was an update to Oreo.
All running well and the whole process worked without issue.
Using GiffGaff in the UK.

This is the G6 thread.

You sure that's Oreo? Pretty sure the 2015 G4 won't ever receive it.

Oops. I had meant to write G6. I bought it as a refurb from ebay.
I'll correct that now. Thanks.

why not just download open EU .kdz (Oreo) and flash it? I flashed using LGUP and Uppercut, took 5 minutes, I'm not rooted either.

Different chipset, Qualcom MSN8996 Snapdragon 821 Quad core Kyro @ 2x2.35 & 2x1.6 w/Adreno 530 which was last year's LG flagship, against what is considered a mid-range phone. Not sure if it is really any better except maybe the Cameras but that is not really the point, I am on contract with EE and I expect them to keep me up to date. Last security patch was Jan
Sent from my Nokia 7 plus using Tapatalk

On v11i-234-30 here with last security update (Jan 2018) received after I bought this in March as a refurb.
Was quite positive when I heard LG were setting up the update unit but with hindsight feel that's probably targeted at the G7 and onwards.
Will probably see if it drops this month before downloading the Oreo update ref'd above, but it's frustrating. Seem to recall the G4 and G5 got pretty quick updates.
