I currently have a galaxy note 2 and i can't say i dont like it but it's just not for me.. Even though i got a large hand (still can't reach the end of the phone using one hand though). I usually go out riding my bicycle quite often and the note 2 feels too heavy in my pockets, i can't even sit without taking the phone out of my pocket which gets very annoying. I really liked watching movies and all on my note 2 but i probably don't feel like getting a Samsung phone again because of the Hardware home buttons.
Anyway the moto g is getting sold for 245$ here, and it looks nice and light so i wonder if it's worth the price here? Or are there any phones that are going to meet my needs? (lasts a day of light or medium use and is easy to carry)
Thanks in advance.
Buy it
Enjoy

I can surely recommend this phone.
Only drawback can be the fixed memory.
For me this is not an issue. But it might be an issue for others.
Although I am not a movie watcher on phones, the MotoG is pretty good at it.
I find the scrolling in app like Facebook is even better than note 3. But the camera is really lousy even comparing to iPhone 4. So think twice if you take a lot of photos with your phone.

I take pictures of essays and other school related things, and that's pretty much it. Are words clear if you zoom after taking the pictures?
And also is the 245$ price reasonable? Because its cheaper in other countries
Absolutely clear for photos of notes. That's what I use it for precisely. Otherwise the camera is decent at best. 245 bucks is still very much worth. In India it's about 220$ or so for 16 gigs. And I'd say that's a crazy deal. Coming from a 600$ One X, all the more sweeter.

Nope, there's virtually no competition at that price point. You could find a Nexus 4 somewhere but that would be at least 100$ costlier.
Sent from my XT1033 using Tapatalk
I have been using the moto g for almost a month and while it does and will consistently meet your requirement of 'a day of moderate usage', it's weight is slightly on the bulkier side. That said, once you get used to its weight, it is a pure steal at the price points it is being sold at.
PS: psst, update to kitkat, enable developer options, toggle to Art and also try the Google now launcher in it. May have to download the package from external sources. Epic

The Note 2 is better.. but if it's too big then get the Moto G i guess.
Have you tried getting used to the Note 2 size anyways? I had a 3.5" phone to a 4.5" phone and the 4.5" felt too big.
A few weeks passed and now i'm used to it, in fact i'm never going to go under 4.5" in my next purchase.
I switched from a Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Moto G is better for my needs, smaller, actually snappier in general, better battery life, feels like much better build quality for a much cheaper phone, and the only thing I missed from the S4 is OTG USB but update fixed that! So even if you are needed space for films ect, wack them on a USB and buy a cheap small cable and you've got more storage when needed!
You won't be disappointed!

@SamsungAdmire it was never about getting used to the size, i do find anything smaller than the note 2 small but the note 2 doesn't fit me even though i really want to use it.. It's just too heavy and hard to carry around while cycling. The moto g seems like the phone for me.
Thanks everyone! I guess I'll just get it

If you are spoiled by the battery life of the note, then you will love the Moto G. Just as smooth (maybe smoother) and great screen quality. biggest sacrifice is the camera so that part is up to you.
I came from a Note 3 and haven't missed it since (ok maybe just multi window lol)

I think you need to sell your Note II and buy Moto G together with a tablet (nexus 7 maybe?) so you can enjoy also watching movies
OK i know I'm getting really annoying but how is the moto g for people with large hands? I have a really large hand, and the mobile store is like an hour away and I'm tacky busy atm

If you're happy with the N4 ... then IMHO, don't. The N5 is an excellent device. Seriously wonderful. BUT, if you're still happy with the N4, then why worry about it. If the N4 does what you want, you're happy with the screen, the camera, speed, and 3G then be happy with it. For me the step up from 3G to LTE was a big selling point. The N4 would have been a near perfect device if not for that and the lack of internal storage... I'm a "need" 32 GB type.
One other point that I think is a big improvement from the N4 - the soft rubber feel on the black N5.
All in all, take a look at the spec comparisons online. If you find a few things that mean something to you ... for me it was LTE, OIS on the camera and 32 GB ... then make the move. If none of the changes pop out at you, then stick with the N4. It's still one of the best devices out there, again IMHO.
Its essentially a $150 upgrade. You can sell your Nexus 4 for around $200 or maybe a little more.
I'm happy with my upgrade, I really like the nexus4 but to me it was worth upgrading to a Nexus 5 , Im definitely glad I bought it.
good luck with your decision,
Ok, last question, for those of you that still have the 4, how does it compare to the 5
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Once you upgraded to kit Kat?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Its got more geebees!
I think it was worth it, but I am also a Nexus junkie fwiw. The device is just all around better. I never considered the Nexus 4 to be slow, or have a bad screen, or anything like that. But playing with them side by side, there is a large improvement. The screen is razor sharp and much more vibrant. The camera is a way better if you are patient with it(hopefully google patches in some usability improvements soon). Although it might have to do more with kitkat/google experience launcher than the hardware, the Nexus 5 feels a lot smoother. It's like what project butter did, but taking it to yet another level. Storage bump is definitely nice. LTE makes a big difference if you are in a position to take advantage of it(I'm getting consistent 20-30mpbs with tmobile in my area now). I like the uniqueness of the glass back on the nexus 4, but the understated look of the Nexus 5 is really nice and the phone feels a little better in hand imo. No gaudy chrome plastic trim and such.
Overall, the upgrade is significant if not necessary. If you love your Nexus 4 and don't want to stay on the bleeding edge of the technology curve, you don't need to run out and buy this. But if you are itching for something new, you won't be disappointed by the upgrade.
I'd liken the Nexus 5 to the Nexus 7.2 . Both of their predecessors were Google's first real attempts at user experience focused devices (rather than the developer phone image the old nexus devices had, even if it wasn't accurate). They did a hell of a job with the N4 and N7.1. But this latest generation takes that concept and runs with it, giving Apple, Samsung ,etc a real run for their money in terms of overall polish and brand reputability.
For me it was worth it, but my vice in life currently is new tech. So to have a better screen, faster processor, newer hardware and a phone that doesn't get burning hot anymore, it was worth it.

The LG G Pro 2 was announced last week earlier than expected (MWC was expected) and there are official images and specs by which I cannot be the only one who is intrigued.
Software: Knock Code, the evolution of KnockON that makes it easy to unlock a phone by tapping out a specific code.
Hardware: 13MP rear-facing camera of the G Pro 2 features OIS+, and is capable of recording 4K video. 120fps slow-motion video, natural flash, burst mode, and a flash for selfies that turns most of the screen white for more “soft” lighting.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 GPU, 3GB of RAM, 16GB or 32GB of storage, a microSD card slot, and a massive 3200 mAh battery. Screen is 1080p and 5.9 inches with a side bezel of a miniscule 3.3mm

Which of you who have the T-Mo G2 and JUMP! service are going to jump to the G Pro 2? and will you later on jump to the G3?
asides from TMob , as an international D802 user im jumping over to the g pro 2 for both me and my wife (she hated her old Sgs3 and is currently hating her Sgs4)
couple of pluses for me and her are the cam and the external storage. screen should be no problem in that size and of course batt/cpu/gpu improvements are always welcomed.
I KNOW I should be using my Lg g2 for another year or 2 but i think those small upgrades are good for our type of use. i sure hope it hits the market soon as there are not many new top performers in our middle eastern market.
I'm leaving the G2 for the Flex. The curved design and battery life was enough for me to switch. I'm a phone whore though.
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk
i'm waiting for the g3. that g pro 2 is too big for me. i like the 5 inch to 5.5 inch space. also if i upgrade i want to upgrade to a better processor so it'd have to have the 2.5ghz snapdragon 800 with the beefed up gpu or the snapdragon 805. also i'd need to see what this ois+ is all about in the store first. the ois on my g2 is underwhelming. with nokia losing its exclusivity rights to the module they use for their pureview camera's ois, i'm wondering which android phones jump on the tech.
To me it's not worth it ,I still love my lg g2..maybe in another year.

Have only had my G2 for a couple of months. Still think it's the best phone I ever had. Not ready to give it up. And any phone from now on will be paid in full, no more subsidy, so I will most likely go Google Nexus from now on.
I think that upgrade should be noticeable. I like the specs of the G2 Pro but i buy always contract free phones, so for just that little i don't wanna spend money....
How much more battery time is the LG flex than G2? I know 500 more mah is quite much.. And maybe the screen will use less power?

I have both the G2 and Flex. The Flex battery life is noticeable better then the G2. It's crazy how much better. Maybe my G2 battery was a dud. lol I'm a power user and at timesI had to charge my G2 a few times during the day. With the Flex I only have to charge when I sleep. As far as the screen display difference I don't notice it but you may be different.
Flex battery life

I'll wait for the rom ported over and maybe get the G3.
If the Gpro2 comes to T-Mobile I'll probably do it. I had the galaxy s2 for almost two years, but when I switched to the G2 I noticed that bigger phones are still easy to use with my fairly big hands. Now that I'm used to this 5.2 inch screen I really want something even bigger! The gflex would be cool, but the pro2 has a few more things that catch my interest; Namely the camera, sound, and screen.
Honestly though, LG has been very impressive recently. I don't think I can go back to Samsung or any other phone now. Kudos, LG.

I think the G2 is my favorite phone so far. I love it and having a bigger screen would be nice. I dont like the Flex because of the curve.
I like the curve/Flex because it's different. Tired of rehashed phones. Glad we have choices.

The only thing that I wish it had was image stabilization and an AMOLED screen but for 399$, it's still amazing. Glad they decided to go with the SD card this year. I love the 5.7 inch screen and would even go with 6 inch, but 5.7 puts it at note 4 competition. Motorola should have put the 3600mah battery in both phones, but thank goodness there's a quick charge

I have read that the Moto X Play, despite having a 64-bit SoC, has 32-bit Android.
It's the same for the Moto G, with Google's argument being that 64-bit would be too heavy for a device with 1 GB RAM. But the Moto X Play has 2 GB.
Is this true, and what would be the impact of not having 64-bit Android?

The plastic frame on the X Play doesn't feel cheap to me. Coming from a Galaxy S6, the Moto X Play feels great.
The only part that feels cheap is the power button. It's loose. It moves up and down slightly when you touch it and it rattles if you shake the phone.
The rest of the build is very solid though. Great feel in the hand.
Does it support Miracast or MHL/Hdmi?

You got the point!
I think Amoled displays can really benefit of active display: just the lit pixels are on.
But I can't stand active display's pulsing behaviour of "hey, you git a notification 30 seconds ago and you didn't check it!"
I'm perplexed about how bigger the Play is! Actually the screen/overall size ratio is a little bit better, isn't it?
And then the hardest point: price! Not the stock price but the actual street price you can find: moto X play seems to be cheaper, for what you get, after all.
I'm actually just surprised there seems to be zero development so far. The only recovery we have is from the osprey (2015 G), and thus we have root. I know this isn't released in the US, but didn't think most devs were from there honestly. The G has a ton in comparison! Lol. So eager for a kernel that maximizes efficiency while also eliminating lag.

This phone isn't widely available and it's an "in-between" model. Most people will either be on a budget and opt for the G or want the best specs and opt for the X Style.
For me, the one and only real selling point of this phone was the battery. I think most power users are used to charging part way through the day and don't really look at battery size as a big selling feature.
It also doesn't help that reviews haven't painted this "massive" battery in a good light. And they're not wrong. I am able to get about 20% more battery life out of this 3630mAh battery than several other phones I've had with batteries in the 2400-2700mAh range. More battery is good, but I gave up a lot of stuff for a phone that is less fluid and missing sensors just for a meager boost in battery life.
Honestly, if I could find someone to take my Moto X Play off my hands, I'd gladly go back to the Moto G. Comparable battery life, better performance, and tons of ROM/modding support.

The size of the battery is undeniable. It is ultimately up to the software you're running on the phone. I have high hopes for the future of the Moto X Play once it's availability becomes more widespread.

I stated in another thread. I think that the true signal is going to be great because signal on the g3 for me is bad.... And this looks more promising than any other phones coming out.....
I was eagerly awaiting a Nexus device but considering the pathetic specs of the 5x and the fact that the 6p won't be in stores has me really considering LG once again. I'm really excited about that 4GB of ram for this new device. I may not be interested in a dual screen phone though if this is what is coming. LG so far is really good at having a large single display and keeping overall dimensions to a minimum. Simply adding an additional screen would make it overall too big.

Can't wait for the V10! Been switching between my aging LG Nexus 4, and my Samsung Note 4 (Not a big fan). My Nexus 4 has always been my favorite phone, can't wait to be daily driving another LG. Props to LG for sticking up for the power users who require a removable battery and SD card slot!
Interesting concept, but I've been wondering for awhile why is it that LG continues to use 3000mAh batteries, can they not improve the capacity?
The G2, G3, G4, Flex 2, and now V10 share the same capacity. Of course the G2 does best with 3K, yet that doesn't explain why 2yrs later they haven't moved to at least 31-3400mAh. From my quick research none of the newer LG's have comparable battery performance to either the OPO/G2, a trait that led me to love my G2.
From my personal experience newer LG's (going off of screen time provided by others) are comparable to the original Optimus G, which was between 4-5hrs (or G1 I suppose). LG is great with implementing strange features like dual this, dual that, flexible this, leather that. Yet, not much has changed for battery.

So it looks like a no brainer. I guess this is my next device but it's a little bigger than I really wanted to go. I guess I could go without a big bulky case on the V10 though considering it's very durable. Does anyone know if LG is still releasing an LG G4 Pro, or is that not happening this year?

Pretty sure the V10 is the rumored "G4 Pro"

Good question. What about my G3 with 538 ppi screen? Still better than most new phones, I love this phone and I still think its beautiful in white with the metal edge. Now you see why I'm torn on any upgrade.
With the battery, it would make sense to keep using 3k mah when a lot of the new phones are still lower. Especially if LG can keep using at least part of the same battery mfg process to save on retooling and set-up costs. Maybe they feel like battery life is still competitive so they're not investing R&D money there.
Anyway, I'm ready for a change and I'm 85% sure it's going to be a Nexus 6P in Frost white!
I really want to go for the Nexus 6P but the AMOLED screen is a major turn off for me.
This doesn't look to shabby but having just dropped $600 on a G4 that has some annoying touchscreen issues I'm not too happy with LG at the moment.
Will stick to my G2. Only true upgrade would be RAM but I can survive with 2GB for now. Camera on G2 is alright and honestly 5.2" isn't exactly small.
More than 2 years and still not a single mAh extra. I can't understand their approach to the battery either but I can see why they chose snapdragron 808 once again. This will make the G5 stand out even more when they announce that it is powered by the snapdragon 820.

Nice general spec comparison to the iP6+
If it supports Tmo 12 band, I could definitely see myself moving on from my G3. I use the IR Blaster often enough where I don't think I will willingly move to a phone without one, very glad to see it's on the V10.
The only thing missing that would make it perfect for me is stereo front facing speakers, but at least the one speaker faces forwards instead of backwards like on my G3.
Bought myself a shiny new Nexus 5X a week ago, it didn't have the magic of the older Nexus 5 so I took it back and got myself a moto x style/pure, very happy with it.
Marshmallow should help with the battery drain
Other than that I love it

It is a great phone! Although I'm thinking about getting a nexus 5x as a backup in case this ever gets broken or I just want a break from such a large size phone. Lol

Just curious what you don't like about the 5X?

My own spoilt fault really, had the Nexus 5 a year ago, traded for Nexus 6 then my upgrade was due so I opted for a Galaxy S6, sold that and had an m8 in return, then swapped that for the dreaded iPhone 6plus then bought the 5X.
I basically spoilt myself for choice over the past year and haven't really settled on a phone I could depend on and have a play with, I knew straight away if I was going to keep it or not, I was a bit hesitant with the 5X but I was more certain I'd return it on my 3rd of owning it so I opted for the pure and I'm very happy with it,
Even rooted it this evening something I haven't done since my original Nexus 5
Not to mention all these so called flagships and their build qualities are awesome but they are too fragile and expensive to fix to walk around naked without a case.
The 5X was very light and almost slipped out of my hand a few times as I couldn't get a proper grip on it, otherwise a good handset just not for me. Fingerprint scanner was phenomenally fast and accurate, I don't use NFC much so can't comment on that, USB C was a bit of a pain as I spend on new adaptors and leads when I bought it, I don't think USB C will be mainstream for a good 18-24 months just yet, maybe ahead of its time we'll see, quick charge was really good and battery drain was typical but doze mode was very efficient hence the quick charge implementation.
Anyone on here that has bought a Nexus 5X looking for a case and an Orzly USB C to USB A lead I can send them to you free of charge I have no need for them can have them sent within the next few days.
For anyone outside of the UK curious how i can move from one phone to another, Here in the UK we can buy and sell handsets as much as we like as long as we pay our carriers their monthly charge then its no problem, we aren't locked to carrier specific phones and the network bands like in the US.

The biggest negative for me about the nexus is the lack of an sd card slot, as well as disappointing sound quality.
I love my moto x style, the sound is great, it's loud, two front facing speakers, with a fairly good base response, and I've got a 200gb memory card in it as well. It's also almost completely vanilla, apps load quickly, the phone does not crash, hang etc. The front facing flash is an superb feature too.
I debated over the nexus and moto for a while, I decided I'd only be buying a nexus for marshmallow out of the box and a finger print scanner... For me the features missed out weighed the positives.

Holy **** are we related? I have a Nexus 6, bought the N5x (cause like you I missed the great Nexus 5 from the past) and was throughly disappointed. The screen quality and speakers alone couldn't match the N6. Battery was fine and the fingerprint sensor and camera were nothing short of awesome, but that screen and speakers just was too much for me. So I placed an order today for a moto x pure, hoping its better all around. I wanted a smaller phone since the N6 is so damn big, and I hear the moto x feels smaller so I hoping it will satisfy. Can't be any worse than the N6.

It supports it smoothly and brilliantly. Money well spent on the card and phone.

200GB card works fine with MXPE Mine is formatted exFAT and handles all media well. Got one for $150 at Amazon.
