Is the Moto G faster and more fluid in animations and transitions than the SGS3?
I'm really tired of having lag and a slow phone and am looking for a nice and fast phone with stock android preferably.
I don't know if the Moto G is really much faster or if it also has lag occasionally.
Do you guys think it's a good choice to go from the SGS3 to the Moto G 4G?
Anyone that has done it can comment?
Is battery life also the same or better?
Thanks!

Most of my friends that had the S3 complained about lag, I've shown them my Moto G and they were wowed with it. Specs-wise the Moto G is a good upgrade from the S3 since it's a newer processor and is built for a newer Android OS. It should have equal to or better battery life since the battery is a little less capacity but it has a more efficient processor and OS. The Moto G does get laggy when you have too many apps open, Facebook has chugged a few times and loading times in games can take a while due to having only 1GB of memory. I use OTG storage via a microUSB reader and am able to carry most of my media on it which frees up the internal 8GB for just apps and other misc stuff.
But seriously for the price it's definitely hard to beat.

Definitely a good upgrade over the SGS3. Lag is nearly non-existent on the Moro G. The SoC has faster and way more power-efficient cores.
Another notable thing is that Moto G doesn't get hot even if you stress it with some heavy synthetic, SGS3 does get hot.
Overall you'll be surprised what this relatively cheap phone can.You also get a microsd card slot on the 4G model, just don't buy some exotic cards, but something class 6 kingston or samsung.
I broke my S3 and moved to this. It's at least a comparable phone, if not better. Though if you still have the S3, I highly recommend Task650's ROM. Fantastic builds. I was on an early release of his KK ROM and it was flawless, I'm sure it's rock solid these days.
Better performance, better battery life, water resistant, better looks, etc

I have an S4 on Verizon and picked up a Moto G through trading various items for it. I plan to sell it, but I've honestly been slightly disappointed with my S4 since I've used the G. I wouldn't be able to use a phone without a swappable battery and a microSD card slot, though.
I had a Galaxy S3 for two years. it went faulty so I got the Moto G 4G.
My partner still has the S3 so I can constantly compare it to the Moto G.
Moto G is faster, scrolling / general use is smoother and I'm definitely seeing better battery life (especially on standby) - and this was compared to a custom rom on the S3.
Very happy with the change.

For my moto g2015 2gb ram version
Since it doesn't have b12 any longer nor volte I was thinking of doing it
Should I?
Does the n5 support T-Mobile volte and qc2.0?
Check it works first.
Keep the moto G 2015
@PunishedSnake
I did and good thing I did cuz the battery life is awesome
I would consider the Moto G an upgrade from the Nexus 5. You get better battery life on the Moto G and the thing is water resistant. ?

its waterproof for upto 30min
the moto g is a budget phone comparing to a high end one, 720p vs 1080p @5inch, better cpu and in a lighter smaller frame.
the moto g is new, same camera as nexus 6, turbo charge, 64bit,, lower clocked CPU, lower-powered CPU, and GPU, but a bigger battery.
gyroscope and stereo speakers are removed i believe.
even though the nexus 5 is old, it still have specs better than some phones released today.
but the 2gb ram is better, i remembered having a moto g 2013,2014 and the multi tasking was noticeable to the nexus 4,5 due to the ram and soc performance.
Which of the recently released phones or 2015-to-be-released phones do you guys believe is the best and why?
While the Galaxy Note 5 has a solid benchmark performance, further testing shows that it has terrible RAM management and reboots each app that is tabbed out.
I'm looking for a relatively large phone (3 inches wide) with a "fair" price point.
Was thinking about the Galaxy S6, but that's too small for me and not cost-efficient. LG4 -- Not sure how that stacks against the MotoX Pure Edition.
Theres a thread on G4 Vs X Style.
Moto X wins in on many fronts ... mainly the fact its pure Android. The specs are pretty much the same as the G4 but should be smoother as it has no bloat/skin.

I previously own SGS6 and RAM management is really terrible. Its a shame where it has 3GB and apps running on the BG are all restarting.
I have the Moto X (2G) now and it handles RAM miles better than the S6 so I believe the Style will be more excellebt in terms of RAM usage and power.

Hey guys I'm looking at buying a G Flex 2 and just wondering if there are still Massive Lags and Homescreen Re-Draws? As a lot of reviews say that this was a problem and I'm a bit off put by that as I'd like it to be a smooth device.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
I never experienced either with the 3GB variant, but even on 5.0.1 the phone was snappy. My complaints had more to do with temperature and poor battery, thankfully each has improved with 5.1.1.

no whatsoever lag! i have G4 H815 ( Gift from LG USA Mobile) and just got the G Flex H959 TWN Variant last month. Updated to 15C ,its run so cool and snappy. Its become my main driver. Love the Curve on my hand. Except the Camera its the same as G3( I had it too but sold). So I carry both phone with me if I need to take good pictures.
No homescreen redraw, but I definitely have lag. Sprint
I have a Note 5, OnePlus Two and the G Flex 2. I love the G Flex 2, it's been a lot smoother since the 5.1.1 update, I've had a tough time putting it down. When I'm using it, I'm never wanting for the other two phones.

Hey,
I'm looking for a new device because I recently broke my OnePlus X and the repair cost is like really really expensive. I wanted to know if the Moto G3 was still worth it. I got only 200 euros to use and saw a lot of reviews that tells that it's great but i'm afraid of the SD410. Thank you for your kindness
Regards,
The new moto g will be out soon, so if you can wait a little it will be better. For me this phone is amazing, but the 2014 moto g had a better battery. I have the 2gb ram and 16gb storage and it runs everything smoothly, 5" is a perfect size for the screen, fantastic community with lot of roms and fixes... I'd definitely recommend it. But you'd better wait the new version even if you want this one because the price could go down to 140

The Moto G 2015 has a much better battery than the 2014. Maybe you have something eating your battery, but Moto did put a better battery in the 3rd gen which is basically the same phone as the 2nd gen.
The Moto G Plus is undoubtly better than the Moto G 2015, but its not water resitant anymore.
The new water resistant one (Moto G Play) is pretty lame (8 megapixel only camera). I still think my Moto G 2015 is unrepleceable.
As a viewpoint of a geek, I love this phone . You get good development support and updates too. Feels like younger brother of nexus line.
G4 plus has better specs but personally, I feel moto g 2015 looks more google motorola like and g plus tastes lenovo.[emoji39] .
For me, totally worth it.[emoji1]

Yep, it's definitely still a good phone. But stay away from the 8GB version.
No. Buy 4th Gen or wait...!!! It doesn't have Gyroscope, Amoled, Better performance etc
i told my friends to buy Moto G turbo , its also a good phone like Moto G 3rd gen,
i prefer Turbo edition, as we get a little better hardware and Turbo CHarger
Hi.
I've been using Cyanogenmod since Android 2.3.
Back in 2013 i had a Moto G 16gb (falcon), which display cracked due to human error. Bought a Moto E (condor) as a full display assembly replacement wasn't cost-effective for me. Even though Condor was pretty basic, it was overall a nice phone for Work and School for 2 years, and Cyanogenmod was an awesome system for it.
I managed to get a brand new U.S.A. Moto G CDMA for pretty cheap $200 MXN ($11 USD), as it can't be used in México, and swapped the full display assembly, battery, and back cover to my old Moto G and replaced my Condor with my brand new "old" Moto G.
So far, this G has been awesome for my everyday duty since a year ago and also Cyanogenmod 13 is flawless.
This week, I decided to buy a Moto G 2015 (osprey) for $2800 MXN (pretty cheap too). It's a 16Gb, 1Gb RAM, Dual SIM variant XT1543.
Well, this story is nothing but the prelude to my questions.
1) Is the Osprey screen uglier than the Falcon? It seems colors are yellower, and blacks are grayer. Also, seems to have a grainy screen.
2) Cyanogenmod 13 (falcon) vs Stock ROM (Osprey) GUI seems pretty different. I am really used to CM, and using the stock ROM seems like a down-grade to me.
3) It seems like Falcon has lots more dev than Osprey or at least seems like there's more activity on Falcon forums (Maybe i am wrong?).
4) When I checked Cyanogenmod 13 bugs for Osprey, seems to have lots more bugs than Falcon even though Falcon is older?
I feel like a bad decision was made in buying Osprey. Besides bigger screen (and duller), and better cameras, bigger battery, there's nothing else to upgrade from a Falcon to a Osprey . My living in México has been always trying to achieve maximum efficiency with less effort, in most aspects of life.
Thanks for your inputs.
i think the best improvements over falcon would be the increased memory (should be 2GB if you've got 16GB version), and water proofed body, bigger battery and relatively better camera. other than that there isn't much. newer phones require bit of ramp up time for devs and users to make/use custom ROMs, since most users will not unlock bootloaders within warranty period. so, now that you ve bought maybe you can keep for while if you enjoy the said advantages till the dev support for the device catches up.
