no touchless control is only for the moto x because motorola has made their own cpu chipset with allows touchless control without it being a battery killer. someone correct me if i'm wrong.
and active display requires AMOLED display i believe.

Moto X Features on Moto G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2543619
The features are only possible through software, and unfortunately battery-draining. The Moto G lacks a low-powered companion core and an amoled screen.
However a good compromise is to install GEL launcher; then you can say "OK Google" on home-screen and say a command. This works well without hitting the battery too hard. Gel on Moto G Thread - Latest version of GEL here.

ok many thank, beacause i have seen this information and in the market (italy )i look controllo a mani libere..and hope that it was fot moto g .

[Q] Should I buy the Asus Zenfone 5 with Android 4.3 or Moto G with Android 4.4?

his phone ships with Android 4.3 Jellybean and is the same price as Moto G which ships with kitkat but I like the design of this phone better than the Moto G and it has a 5 inch screen vs 4.5 on Moto and Asus has promised a Kitkat update.However I am sure Moto G would get Android L and Asus has made no such announcement for Zenfone.So what I want to know is whether Android L is so dramatically different than Kitkat?Otherwise I will just ignore the design and buy the Moto.Thanks in advance for helping

Has expandable memory? Bigger screen?2gb ram? ZenUI and it will surely get AOSP rooms.. so its a good deal.

Are you sure that Zenfone 5 is gonna get AOSP ROMS?

3-4 hour battery-life, sluggish performance in games.

It's highly likely, considering the Moto G hasn't even been out a year (flagship phones usually get 2 year support) and there is no technical reason I'm aware of that would rule it out.

moto g for me..you will not regret

Intel phones are gash!! I had a orange San Fransisco and it wasnt good..
No apps worked or very little because it was a intell processor. Don't get it

I've a colleague next to me crying about the display of Asus Zenfone 5. I suggested him G and Mi3.

I would go for the moto g, I have the same dilemma with you. And I bought moto g. Moto g has official software support from Motorola, and an active XDA development section. Considering that Zenfone 5 has an Intel processor, the rom on zenfone 5 will be fewer. I've bought a Chinese phone without any good custom roms and that was painful to me.

App compatibility issues has been addressed by Asus using OTA updates. There has been a few ota updates since zenfone has been out in the market. I admire Asus for addressing issues quickly. anyways..
Ask yourself if you love playing around with roms and like to experience vanilla android on your device, if the answer is yes then go with Moto G. Don't expect any aosp roms for zenfone 5 anytime soon. But, I'd still get the zenfone 5. It's a matter of personal preference. Even if we advice you with so many things about the pros and cons of both devices, at the end of the day it is still your money. Just follow your heart. LOL.

Moto G undoubtedly

Find a detailed explanation for your question here techno4use.wordpress.com/2014/08/01/best-budget-smart-phone

Asus Zenfone 4.5
Asus has the Zenfone 4.5 or Zenfone 4 A450cg on pre-order from flipkart now. That thing matches moto g in size.

Asus has heating problems. And from developer's point of view Moto G is way better .

Hang on moto g 2 is coming in market on 5th September those who prefer 5 inch screen wait for it otherwise moto g on discounted price is steal to deal and have belief on Motorola because it had Google tag over it

[PETITION] Android Nougat Update for Osprey and Merlin

Motorola provided a list of devices which are going to get the new Android Nougat update. However, Moto G 2015 (Osprey) and the Moto G 2015 Turbo Edition (merlin) are not listed while they are perfectly capable of running it. Hence, to bring this under Motorola's attention, a petition has been started.
Original thread content :
""Please discuss, post support and spread news about this petition: https://www.change.org/p/motorola-please-include-moto-g-3rd-gen-for-android-nougat-update
On 4th October 2016 you announced on your official blog which handsets would be getting the Android 7.0 (Nougat) update.
Absent from the list was the Moto G 3rd Gen (Osprey) and Moto G Turbo Edition (Merlin) - making them historically the first Moto G phones to receive only one major Android update. Both Moto G 1st Gen (Falcon) and 2nd Gen (Titan) where given two Android updates - KitKat and Lollipop in the case of 'Falcon,' and Lollipop and Marshmallow for 'Titan.'
The abandoning of support for both 'Osprey' after 8 months (Android 6.0.1 was released in March 2016) and 'Merlin' after only 3 months shows that the Moto brand now will no longer respect the previous practise of providing ‘18 months of update support.’
Included on the current official Nougat update device list is the Moto G Play (4th Gen) - a handset with weaker specifications than both 'Osprey' and 'Merlin.'
The issue is not technical limitation. You appear to have simply decided your last generation Moto G handsets are no longer important.
The Moto G Play uses the exact same chipset and GPU as 'Osprey,' but runs at a lower CPU clock-speed. This profound hardware similarity also suggests that in the process of making the update for Moto G Play; much of the work needed to produce a Nougat update for 'Osprey' would be completed.
Moto X Play (also on the Nougat update list) uses the exact same chipset and GPU as Moto G Turbo Edition - making both devices Vulkan compatible.
Moto G is a mid-range device, but your update support for it shrinks with each year. Why should people have confidence in your products when you so casually drop support for your best-selling phone?​""

Hope Lenovo listens to us. Hope for the best :good:

[APP][Moto Display]Activate Moto Display by waving over proximity sensor

Hello everybody.
We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.
So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.
MotoDisplay handwave
This might be helpful to some people like me. Do hit the Thanks button if it helped you.

Hello, does this app work on all versions? Does this app also function the same as Moto Display?

This app is not a replacement of Moto Display. It just activates Moto Display when you wave anything over the proximity sensor. It should work on all versions of Moto Display.

Hello there, it said a new app compatible with all versions is going to be released soon. Could you provide an approximate date when it'd be out? And would it be compatible with CosmicOS ROM?
Thanks!

A new version 2.0 will (most probably) be released by two weeks. But this app is not be compatible with any custom ROMs. This is because custom ROMs don't have Moto Display. Ambient Display on most custom ROMs already have this handwave feature.
