I m having tough time choosing between Moto G vs Lumia 820. I know at current $200 price point Moto G is hard to beat. majority of people will straightly choose Moto G but the point is, currently I also have Galaxy tab 2 7 on CM 11(android 4.4) . I know my tab 2 is not a phone but I m little hesitant to own 2 android devices because tab 2 and moto G probably have same when it comes to performance. but despite that I m not sure whether to go with a Windows 8 phone like Lumia 820.
the biggest turn off points with 820 is its weight, low pixel density screen and mediocre camera . I know windows 8 has its own problems like lack off apps (specially if you are too Google dependent), missing notification center.. I know Microsoft already addressed that they are gonna integrate a notification center and a virtual assistant for upcoming Windows Phone 8.1.. but despite all of that I m still very hesitant to try a Windows 8 devise.. so is it worth owning a Windows 8 devise like Lumia 820 compared with Moto G ?? really appreciate any help...
First you need to decide if you want a Windows phone or Android. If you want Android, then sure the Moto G is probably the best bet right now.
I owned the 920 for a while, stunning hardware, just stunning, but the OS is poor. I wouldn't try another Windows phone until the next iteration (9?)

I own both a Lumia 920 and a Moto G and both are good phones with its strong and lesser sides. They simply cannot be compared os they have different OS`s, different kind of users, costumisation options and their own limitations. If you want to tincker a lot on your phone get a android phone, if you don`t want that and want a out of the box phone that realy works well (even on a dual core) you may get a windows phone. Personaly i`d go for a 920 instead of a 820 because of the much better camera with optical image stabilisation.
Windows phones aren't bad. Just like the iPhone its os is smooth and Has great simple functions. BUT that's to me where it stops.... The app selection now for window phones are horrible. What i mean is theres alot of third party apps for most common social media. No official instagram app but has a third party app called instance that does the same thing. While some do work well(sometimes better than the official app itself) others are plain horrible and haven't been updated in months.... So you might want to check to see to see the apps you use are on window 8 market. And also there's no custom Roms etc.. But you may not care for that since your considering the lumia anyway.

I used/owned both.
If you want a phone that works and gets the job done - go for WindowsPhone - no custom rom headaches, no battery drain, no blabla.
If you want a great selection of apps and more control over the device - go with Android - Moto G.
Camera doesn't really matter on this level, as the pictures nowdays are the same - either instagramed to 600px or DSLR professional ones (or Lumia1020 ones).
Hey All,
I would like to know buying Micromax Yureka mobile will be a good option or not under 9k price. As far as I know, this mobile is going to come with some great features like 4G, Dual Sim, 2 GB RAM with 16GB on board Storage, 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera,Cyanogen OS 11 etc. Suggestions me please.
Hi, Micromax Yureka is indeed a very good phone for the price tag its going to carry. To my knowledge that's the first 64bit processor(Snapdragon) phone available in less than 10 K price tag. Its sure a game changer for Micromax in this segment. Only other contender is Redmi Note 4G which is equally good. Try and compare these too and you will find marginal difference is performance related benchmark where Micromax Yu yureka fairing out better.
I think Micromax Yu Yureka is a good phablet. It is offering high quality features in a low cost. Now price of Micromax Yu Yureka is Rs.8900. It is offering 13 MP camera and 5 MP front camera. You can also use two SIMs.
Many people are joining xda on daily basis. Some of them join the forum to get custom ROMs while some join in order to get some of their problem that they are facing with their phones solved.
There are dedicated threads for ROMs but what about HELP/QUESTIONS??
People generally straight away start a new thread to get their doubts solved. But this can lead to chaos in the forum.
I'm creating this thread as an alternative to *New Threads* that aim to resolve a question.
Not only this, this thread can also become a Database kind of place where people can look if their question is already solved or not...
I request all members of the LG GFLEX 2 sub-forum to help and answer some questions posted here if they can.
I hope you guys get the idea behind this thread...
Hey, thank you for creating this thread, I've just wanted to create my own thread, but your ideea is just great!
When the G Flex 2, was announced I was really, really happy and wanted to go for it, but as I search, it's getting more, and more disspointing...
I am a Xperia Z2 owner, and I'm looking forward changing my phone, and for comparation I've searched for LG G3 oppinions against Z2, and some people say G3 is rubbish (especially battery life and camera), some say it's great and it has anything that Z2 doesn't... I really like the G Flex but there are a few things that bother me...
Can someone please answer me the following questions?
- Some say SnapDragon 810 is slower than SnapDragon 805 (2Ghz vs 2.7Ghz), and instead to go for Note 4, because it kills the Flex 2. Is that true? SD810 is slower than SD805?
- Will the G Flex 2 have 3GB ram? Again some say it will have only 2GB of ram because LG is keeping 3GB of ram for the LG G4. Is the G Flex 2 featuring the new LPDDR4?
- How is the camera on the G Flex 2/G3? I am a Xperia Z2 owner, but most of the times I'm looking for much more, this one dissapoints me (especially at sharpness, quallity and focus). How is the G3 camera compared to the Z2 camera? (THE CAMERA IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME!)
- How are the speakers on the Flex 2/G3? Xperia Z2 speakers really suck, the quallity is OK, but they're not enough loud.
- How should the battery on the Flex 2 be? I must say that as an Z2 user, the battery is really incredible! Should I expect less from the Flex 2?
I would really appreciate if someone would answer my questions.
Thank you and have a great day!

It's great at least that there will be a 3GB/32GB version. Is the ram LPDDR4?

Whoever says Note 4 will be better than G Flex 2 performance wise either works for Samsung or is very deluded.
The 32GB version will have 3GB of LPDDR4. G4 will most likely have 4GB, but those just started being manufactured, hence it's too early.
G3 is one of the better camera, though LG is beating a dead horse and somehow making it run a little further every time. G4 should finally put an end to the misery of the IMX135, I hope.
Assuming it's same speaker, is going to be very loud at least, but thin bass.
LG says the battery should be as good or better than G Flex, and if is just near the original G Flex it is going to be a beast!
So, do you say that G3 camera is better than Z2 camera? Photos with the Z2 at night are very blurry.

I have made this just to avoid unnecessary threads it will be living once u have g3 users joining here
I am curious about the camera, particularly the limitations on length of recording. I see it will record in WQHD but will there be a 5 minute time limit on those files? Being 64 bit, as well as the 810 under the hood I would expect them to remove these limitations but I am not sure. Any ideas?
@gpvlog, the limitations come from the device overheating, no the limited performance of the device... Even SnapDragon 800, can shot 4K flawlessly, but the device overheats because a lot of CPU/RAM is used. The NAND cells are used intensivly aswell...
this think is hottt very hot i cant handle on my hands... my mom take it to fry some eggs on it...it was water resistand?
Well, there are some really bad news...
LG just confirmed that there won't be any 3GB ram version...
http://www.lgnewsroom.com/newsroom/contents/64850
Is there any chance that we will se a 3GB ram model? I would really like to buy this phone, but the specs are really dissapointing...

The 3GB ram version is going to be a US carrier special. What carrier I dunno. Also if there week be an international version with 3GB ram is unknown.
LG debunks the myth, that there is a 3GB version... what are the chances that there will be a 3GB later?

Well, the information I had was from the Nordic Product Specialist, Mobile Communications. So there should be a special for some US carrier.
For global though, nothing at the start at least.
Well... My next phone IF IT WILL have 3GB ram. I'm not going back from 3GB LPDDR3 to 2GB LPDDR4. I don't care it's faster... Quantity is also important!
