I need advice to choose between Note 3 vs Moto x
which is the best battery from reality of experience & performance wifi/Gps ?
Thanks,
Its obvious that its the Note 3, at least in battery performance. Larger battery = More runtime.
The only redeeming factor for the moto x are the moto x specific features. If you get any of these, you dont want to install a custom rom, at least one which doesnt have the features offered by the stock rom.

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.
I am looking for a phone with high-quality screen for games,videos,movies who running things quickly.

You should also specify your budget as that has everything to say
Nexus 6, one plus one...
Note 4. It has the best screen and hardware on the market.
Or the Note 3 if your budget isn't that big.
The Nexus 6 is useless for Multimedia use. 4 HD films & 2 games and you're out of memory. No MicroSD slot, and not every country (read: no country) has 100% 4G or Wifi coverage.

Any good phone right now would be a 1st Generation Moto X, an LG G2 or a Nexus 5. But that's for a midrange budget. It varies from 249-450? I think. A high end budget would be to grab a Nexus 6, Moto X 2nd Gen or an HTC One M8. I push away from Smasung because there devices seem all them same with new gimmicks that don't work 99% of the time. And for god sakes TouchWiz. Most (I said most) can stand HTC Sense and LG Optimus Skins.
Any high end device of the 2014 model year averages between a 5.0in display and 6.0in display, ranging from HD to qHD. The RAM is in between 2-3GB of it, so Multitasking is good. Storage is different. Most phones will be a bare minimum at 16GB or even 8GB. Try to get 32GB or 64GB if budget allows. Battery life....well no phone will give more than one-day performance with average use (excluding Motorola Droid Turbo, that things awesome at battery life). Software wise, every new flagship 2014 phone runs on Android 4.4.x KitKat or even Android Lollipop 5.0.x (even the midrange device listed are at the latest operating system) I think I covered what's important and what you might be looking for. Thanks for reading and hope you like what phone you get!

LG G3 is great, but i feel the 1+1 Would be hard to get hold off unless you get it from an external website. Unless you get n invite to buy a one plus one then that would be great
Nexus 5
Note 3 all. The way

Give priority to screen with PPI's and screen brightness.
I would of Note 4.
Note 4 for me :good:
Nexus5, Note3, Z3, G3, M8, etc...
looking to spend about $400 max on a new, unlocked device.
she isn't super picky and is coming from a Note 2. the one thing she'd like is smoothness/speed, decent camera and build quality.
i have contemplated the following:
ZenFone 2 (i don't like the bloat, the battery and camera issues)
OPO (sold out and poor customer service)
LG G2 (getting long in the tooth/not future-proof at all)
Moto X 2nd Gen (perhaps too underpowered?)
LG G3 (pricey, getting older, battery life issues)
i think the G3 and the Moto X 2nd Gen are at the top of our lists.
what are your thoughts? thank you!
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.
Sent from S3 via Tapatalk App.
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.

Motorola Moto X Force vs Moto X Style vs Moto X Play: What's the difference?
Motorola has very quietly announced the Moto X Force, which brings the 2015 Moto X offering to three models if you ignore the Moto X Style Pure Edition.
The Moto X Force brings with it flagship specs and a slightly more expensive price than the Moto X Style, but it's the unbreakable display that makes this Moto X model more interesting than its siblings.
We have put the Moto X Force up against the Moto X Style and the Moto X Play to see what the differences are between the three devices and how they compare. Read on if you want some help deciding which X is right for you.

Motorola Moto X Force vs Moto X Style vs Moto X Play: Design
The Motorola Moto X Force measures 149.8 x 78mm and offers a curved rear between 7.6mm and 9.2mm. The Moto X Style is larger in height but smaller in width, measuring 153.9 x 76.2mm with a curve between 6.1mm and 11.06mm. The Moto X Play is the smallest of all three of these devices however, measuring 148 x 75mm with a curve of 8.9mm to 10.9mm.
The Moto X Force is the slimmest overall and one of the lightest, hitting the scales at 169g, which is the same as the Moto X Play. The Moto X Style is 10 grams heavier at 179g.
All three of the Moto X devices come with a water-repellant nano-coating and they are all available to customise through Moto Maker. The Force only comes in one colour as standard, while the Style and Play come in two base colours.

Motorola Moto X Force vs Moto X Style vs Moto X Play: Display
The Moto X Force comes with a 5.4-inch AMOLED display offering a resolution of 2560 x 1440 for a pixel density of 540ppi. It's the ShatterShield feature that makes this device stand out from the crowd however. Motorola claims this display is completely unbreakable and its confidence is supported with a four-year warranty.
The Moto X Style has a slightly larger 5.7-inch TFT LCD display that also offers a Quad HD resolution but the increase in size drops the pixel density to 520ppi. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, but no unbreakable claims come with this model or the Moto X Play.
The Moto X Play has a 5.5-inch display that offers a Full HD resolution for a pixel density of 403ppi, which is the lowest of this bunch. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 is on board again but dropping this device at a bad angle probably wouldn't end well.
The Force has the smallest display but also the sharpest, and strongest if Motorola's claims are anything to go by.

Motorola Moto X Force vs Moto X Style vs Moto X Play: Camera
The Moto X Force has a 21-megapixel rear snapper, like the Moto X Style and Moto X Play. All three feature an aperture of f/2.0, along with functions such as 4x digital zoom, slow motion video, burst mode, night mode and auto HDR.
The Moto X Play doesn't offer as many functions as the Moto X Force and the Moto X Style however, despite offering the same amount of megapixels. For example, both the latter devices offer phase detect auto-focus and 4K video capabilities, while the Moto X Play doesn't.
In terms of the front-facing snapper, the Moto X Force has a 5-megapixel sensor, as does the Moto X Style and Moto X Play. Motorola doesn't detail the features of the Moto X Play's front camera but the Moto X Style and Moto X Force appear to be identical.
There is a wide-angle lens, night mode, a flash and an aperture of f/2.0. The Moto X Force and Moto X Style front-facing cameras also have larger 1.4um pixels for better low light shots.

Motorola Moto X Force vs Moto X Style vs Moto X Play: Software
All three Moto X devices come with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box, but they will all get a Marshmallow update eventually. Motorola doesn't add as much bloatware as Samsung and Sony do so you get a close to pure Android experience with its devices.
The software experience between the Moto X Force, Moto X Style and Moto X Play will be identical. You'll get Android with a few extra Motorola-specific apps like Motorola Assist and voice-activated commands.

Motorola Moto X Force vs Moto X Style vs Moto X Play: Conclusion
The Motorola Moto X Force follows in the footsteps of the Moto X Style but bumps the specs up in a couple of areas and of course, adds that unbreakable display.
You pay an extra £100 for a slightly bigger battery than the Moto X Play, but a significantly bigger one than the Moto X Style, a faster processor, smaller but sharper display and more storage, as well as a slimmer handset overall than both models.
The quietly announced Moto X Force wins or draws on almost all spec fronts so if you are someone who is constantly dropping their smartphone, this decision will be a no brainer. The Moto X Force offers everything and more than the Moto X Style and Moto X Play.

IMHO Motorola went backwards on this one... I think that they should have given the bigger battery to the MOTO X Style... 3760mAh
The Play should have had the 3000mAh Battery and the Force should have Had the 3630mAh Battery
Yes the Moto X force (Droid Turbo 2 in the US) is a more powerful phone but it has a price tag to match. It was launched here in the US for Verizon wireless only, 32gig is $624 off contract or $720 for the 64gig variant. That's $174 or $220 more respectively compared to the Moto X Pure edition here in the states. Yes it's a better phone but the performance difference for the price isn't worth it in my book. It also doesn't help that it loses the stereo speakers for a mono loud speaker on the front.

The big question, will the Force be available in the US through Moto Maker direct?
I'm not changing carriers just for the Droid Turbo 2. The Force really hits the mark with the 4 year warrantee shatter proof screen. PocketNow seemed to throw the Droid Turbo 2 around pretty good.
I'll be disappointed if I cannot order this in US through Moto Maker.

It probably never will. The Moto Maxx is the international version of the Droid Turbo and after more than a year, it never got to be available directly from Motorola U.S.
I'm guessing because of the Verizon exclusivity agreement.
F###ing Verizon. That would really suck. A phone with a feature like shatter proof screen & only one company can carry it in US? That's crap. I know I could probably buy the Verizon phone & put a GSM sim card in it, but I don't want the big red crap ware.
I don't get moto. On the one hand, we are only making our phones direct, but then they come out with a carrier specific phone with some specs that are much more desirable than what they call their high end phone. I don't get it.
It's called money and fulfilling a contract Motorola has with Verizon. They do this every year with the droid. What's surprising is that anyone would be surprised. The T2 won't get quick updates and the four T2s I have seen have had dark, dingy screens but I haven't heard others experiencing this. I'm happy with my MXPE.

It doesnt has stereo speakers.
Moto Maxx in Brazil hasnt received updates as Moto X received. I recommend you to avoid this.

in us its only on verizon so they need the faster processor and bigger battery to support all that verizon bloat... it will be locked down im sure like all moto phones on verizon have been forever... MXPE is free of bloat, easily unlockable bootloader if i choose, therefore it is a better choice for the value since you need to pay full price for the phone via payment plans now
