Hey everyone, I'm looking to upgrade from my S2-ICS, With a budget of $200, I was thinking a moto g or Nexus 4.
I compared phones on phone arena, basically it's a tie..
What would you buy a moto g or Nexus for for a budget of $200,
Thanks for the input guys.

I'd go for the Nexus 4. It has twice as much ram as the moto g which will come in handy for later updates of android, and a better higher clocked processor. Plus it's a google phone so you will get updates first and they will probably discontinue updates for the moto g before the nexus 4. Only trade off is no storage expansion on the nexus so your stuck with 8gb.
I second olycius. I'm a nexus 4 user. Bought the moto g recently too but returned it. Imho nexus 4 is better value. Not that the g is bad phone. And if your on xda i guess u will be modding. So go with the 4.
I want to flash the Moto G and put it on Page Plus. I'm a Page Plus dealer so adding it into the system isn't the problem. I read somewhere that you will have to wait 6 months before it could be activated on PP. Does anyone know for SURE that this is the case or not? Thanks!

The Boost Mobile Moto G can be flashed to Page Plus, but Verizon esns are locked out, the usage agreement says it's for six months. My six months are up in August, so I won't know for sure until then.

What is your opinion of the best Non-Nexus phone on Verizon right now?
I am thinking it will come down to the Moto X 2014 or Droid Turbo. Are there any others worth considering?
Have a friend with an upgrade coming up and does not want to buy retail.
Note 4 or the edge.
This really sucks. I wonder if there is any chance it will be released at a later date?
I don't understand why there can be a Moto X 2015 for Verizon but not a Moto G 2015?
i agree, i hate the new moto x, looks like a note. the g is just the right size
I was planning to get a Verizon moto G for my wife! Looks like I wont be able to do so.
I'm so tempted since I love my MotoX but I have a 16GB model.

It is tempting considering I have the 16gb model as well. But I still have ample space left on my phone since I reserve gaming on my PC. I just have a few casual games to kill a little time while waiting in line or at appointments. With a 128 GB card inserted, I have ample room for some music, movies, and pics.
Damn, sold out already.

Thanks for the note! Snagged one, too good a deal to pass up.
i just snagged one...thanks for the note
quick question...i think it comes with android 5.1.1 - i'm with sprint and using a gs5 and will replace it with this moto...when i received the moto, how do i upgrade it to 6.1 or whatever it should be now - without activate it on sprint first? or i will have to ask sprint to activate the moto with them first then take their OTA? my current gs5 is rooted and have the wifi hotspot enabled...that's all i want on this moto
checking on other threads, they said i'll need to request a bootloader unlock, then root, then flash another rom.
first time moto, first time using an unlocked phone here
thanks experts,
You do not need to upgrade to 6.X before flashing a custom 6.X ROM.

You should not have to install a SIM to update to 6.0 (current release for the Moto X Pure), just configure the phone with your Google account and you should be able to update via WiFi. And you may not need to root to enable hotspot on Sprint, since it is not a carrier-branded phone the native hotspot feature may work out of the box, or if not you can use PdaNet/FoxFi. Personally I would not root the phone unless you really need to for a particular function.
Thanks for info. I'm still waiting for the phone. Best buy sent a text sorry for the delay. Hopefully they're not canceling it ?

Yeah, hope they're not out of them (again) already. Fyi there is also the 32 GB version available for $269 from BB. For only $10 more the 64 GB is a better deal but if they're out the 32 GB is an option -- since the Moto X will accept an SD card for music/movies/whatever you don't really need 64 GB of internal memory in most cases.

I gave in and bought one also.
Even if the MXP 2016 is announced this week, it'll still be a while before its dropped and then a while longer before AOSP ROM's are available and stable.
Is there even going to be a MXP 2016? I thought the newly-released Moto Z was the replacement, and that is not what I want at all (USB-C, no audio jack, etc.)
Supposedly it's going to be announced sometime over the next few days at some electronics show going on right now.
*Rumors*
I'm pretty sure that the flagship for 2016 is the Moto Z, with the 3 new Moto G models making up the mid-line. I don't think there is going to be such a thing as a MXPE 2016, but maybe I'm wrong.
Man, awhile back like 3 weeks ago I got mine from best buy brand new 32gb for 250 ,black model ..plus additional 10 bucks off with visa checkout ..I guess I got a great deal on this since the refurbished is 279 .. I came from a HTC one m9 that bit the dust
That was a good deal for new, normal price for the 32 is $350 and the 64 is $399.
I received my 64 GB refurnished unit today. Condition was like new but they only included a lame ass standard charger, not the QC 2.0 charger that comes with the new units. Disappointing but oh well, they're only about $13 from Amazon.

I remember when my mom managed to snag the last stock of the 32GB X Pure from our nearest BB store for that price as well. I didn't even notice it was the 32GB one until I saw it on the cash register screen. It was probably the best deal I've seen for something of that caliber in a good while.

Slickdeals.net my friend ..that's the website I check religiously for deals and I happened to findd it a day after my m9 busted
It looks like these is in fact going to be a Moto X 2016, but it doesn't seem like anything we'd be interested in. A lower-spec phone (smaller screen, etc.) than the 2015 Moto X and probably won't be available for the US market. The flagship seems to have been transferred to the Moto Z.

The 32GB version is available today brand-new direct from Motorola.
Possibly with some restrictions though.
