I was about to buy Xperia L a month ago but due to some issues with it I decided not to, moreover, I got to know about Moto G and I'm really happy with the specs.
The only thing that is holding me back is the camera. How is Moto G's camera against XL? I know I'm comparing 5mp vs 8mp, but still.
If Moto G's camera is as good as XL than I'm sold. heh!
Oh, and I'm really sorry if I posted this in wrong section.
The camera is mediocre, but it's a little better than my Galaxy Nexus in some ways. That doesn't say much.

Mediocre compared to what exactly, a reflex camera? Then sure, it is mediocre.
But tbh i find it quite average, during the day it can take some really nice pictures though at night seems to be quite dissapointing.
Overall its more than enough for casual pictures to post at facebook/tweeter, etc but ofc you wont be taking professional pictures to work with.
Compared to a flagship phone's camera or the last two Nexuses.

True that. Small difference of 400-500 dollars + for those cameras tho. :silly: Or twice moto g's price for the nexuses..
Thanks alot guys! I don't plan to take professional like photos with it, obviously. I just need a smartphone with a decent camera to post pics on facebook/twitter etc. Thanks again. Cheers.
Oh, it's decent for Facebook or Twitter. As long as you're not blowing the photos up...

There's a lot of pics taken with these phone and honestly,i was expecting much less based on reviews
You can even use it as a scanner for documents (see page 4)
BUMP! Thanks for the link, 72off.
The wait for Moto G is kiling me. lol. I think the rear camera would be fine for me, though, pictures seems to be a little out of focus and blurry but I'll take it.
I haven't seen any front facing camera sample of Moto G, so I was wondering if someone can upload it(maybe a selfie?) if it is not too much to ask. heh!
Hi All
I am looking to move from a HTC One X to a Moto G. My question in on the camera is it the same or better than my current HTC One X??

One X camera is better. Moto G camera is really slow and most pictures require a really steady hand. But I think it takes better low light pictures than the One X, like on the one X all low light pictures were very grainy/fuzzy so that's less out here. You'll definitely notice a bump in battery life though.
Since I did the exact move you're planning maybe a list of pros and cons of moving to moto g will help you
Pros:
Kitkat(and one more update hopefully)
Battery Life(I've got 4.5 hours of screen on time vs the 3 hours I was getting on my One X) This is the entire reason for me shift to the Moto G
Faster(?)
No random heating scenes(which wasn't really fixed on the One X)
Charges pretty quick
Cons:
Smaller Screen
Camera not as good
Prefer the slim dimensions of the One X
Camera is not good at moto g!

These photos look pretty good to me. I'm of the school that if you what the "best" photos, then use a camera. But for those quick, unplanned pics, your phone is always handy.
the camera on the Moto G is beyond awful
I forgot to mention, the speaker of Moto G is louder than the One X by a considerable amount.
@japoina92 those are some good pics mate. Never got a decent snap like that so far. Maybe my hands are too shaky

You have a thread just for posting moto G pictures in "Moto G Themes and Apps" section.
Just thought I'd throw this one in here for anyone put off by Moto G camera reviews. I have had my Moto G for some time now and it remains to be a solid, reliable phone. However, a recent sale for the Lumia 925 came up so I grabbed one as it's supposed to have a decent camera on it.
Well, having done some comparisons between the two, I can categorically confirm that 9 times out of 10 the Moto G produces more well rounded images than the Lumia. Granted, at low light, the G cannot compete, but under normal lighting conditions its actually slightly better, even when zoomed in. Text is no clearer on the 925 than it is on the G. I was really surprised by this and a little gutted I even bothered with the 925. If anyone is interested, I can upload some comparisons.

Actually, I was a bit too hasty to post in all honesty. I've just done some further comparisons, more accurately, taking into consideration the field of view of the 925 and by transferring the images actually off the two devices and comparing them side by side on the same screen. the edge has now tipped in favor of the 925, but not by a huge degree. The brighter of the two images is the moto one.

well,i'm not photograph genius ,i think l925 got more detail and a bit less noise,especially by zoom in,but not by far,moto g in your picture still take a great picture. i really surprise :good:
i have to agree though,moto g not the best camera out there but sometimes,under a certain condition,it will take a great photo :highfive:
Well guys sometimes in class I have to take pictures of sombdy's else notes or a pic of something on notice board...mostly printed stuff
It shudnt be high quality....just legible
You think moto g can handle that.?
Easily. It's a capable camera, no where near as bad as had been made out.

You asking which phone to buy or which camera is better?
Hard to say for either as they aren't in-hand just yet (retail versions).
I'm leaning towards the Z5 line over the Nexus 6P (but I pre-ordered both).
I pre-ordered the 6P. if the Z5 isnt available in canada by the end of october, i'll stick with the 6p.

Did you pre-order the Z5 directly from Sony? Is the plan to send back whichever one you don't want to keep before the 14 days are up?
I'm torn and was thinking of doing this too. I just can't decide!
I am definitely going with the Z5P. I currently use a Nexus 6 and love it besides the lack of expandable storage, for me personally that kills it. Plus the IP rating on the Z5, my N6 is only water resistant, and its been wet before by accident, luckily it recovered after about a day and a half. As far as the camera is concerned, both the Z5 and N6P seem to be doing it right. Neither use, or seem to need OIS, as they apparently both have good sensors. I will say, that 240fps slow motion video of the hummingbird on youtube shot with the N6P looks amazing, in contrast, I believe the slow motion video of the Z5 is only 120fps, if memory serves me correctly. Both of them do their slow motion in 720P. But, I love the design langiage of the Z series, this one included. In the end, either phone would be amazing I think, and I personally would be happy with either one in a heartbeat. But personal preference plays best here, and for me, its time to return to Sony, after a very long time lol. My last sony phone was the Xperia X10 LOL.
Same thing, I can be happy with the 6p and the Z5.
My Z3 had water dammaged and Sony doesn't want to apply the warranty. I hate sony for that, I dont have smartphone since late july.
For my, the waterproof thing is just a gimmick.
I pre-ordered the 64gb N6P and I think i'll love it. My only cons is the AMOLED screen (burn in) and the camera. I'm waiting for more review of the Z5P camera, but it look like the software is realy bad.
I definitely have burn in with the AMOLED panel on my 1 year old Nexus 6, but honestly I never even notice it, and I definitely prefer an AMOLED panel over anything else, just personal preference. But I am sure I will be pleased with sony's LCD in the Z5P.
I know my photos are not the best to check the quality. I hope they can help you to decide!
If I had time, this night (Spain time) I would like a new low light comparison between V10 and S7 Edge.
IMO, I like the details of V10, but at low light I like S7 Edge.
What's your opinion?

Show more V10 vs S7 in low light/night.
Edit : V10 looks better in low light, no yellow tint and more sharp. But S7e has punchy color, but LG has spectrum color to be more realistic.

You sure it was always in automatic mode with the V10 ? here it takes darker pics than the S6E+ whereas usually the LG always take brighter pics than the S6E+ in low light.

No it's not bad. It's just worse that having a sony sensor. You should probably check the threads about isocell vs sony imx in galaxy s6 and note 5 forums. There's a clear difference and let's just say isocell is not the winner... washed out collors, worse clarity, worse low light with puprle fringe on videos and photos at the corners of the frame. I should know, i have an s6e with isocell.

Cool....I'm thinking about going to grab this phone from TMOUS on Friday. Hopefully I get the Sony sensor.
Either way, I'll be happy to be back on Android. I switched to a 6+ and then a 6S+ last summer/fall and I am finally missing Android. Yes there are some things better about IOS but I just feel so limited. Apple not opening it the API really hurts 3rd party app function. The Alarm clock apps along with 3rd party keyboards are horrendous on IOS.

Well when you get it welcome back! I haven't owned an iPhone since the 4 and I see no reason to look back. I enjoy the freedom to brick my phone and do whatever I want for fun. I flashed Android N to my 6P earlier today, and I've been tinkering with my S7E lately. It takes time to get things how you like them plus the journey to perfection is fun.

Exactly.......and I miss that part so much. My wife is sticking with the iPhone because when we switched from the 6 to the 6S, she said she loved how everything on her phone went back to exactly the way she had it. I hated that part. I love starting fresh with a new phone and setting it up all over again.
Plus I have the Jump On Demand and I feel like it's going to waste if I only upgrade once a year to the new iPhone. I'm getting my 3 upgrades a year dammit.

TBH the daylight photos of S7e satisfied me, and it amazed me in no-light condition (the beach photos). Still visible in no-light is mind-blowing.
It's also very very clear that the HDR mode eliminates oil-painting effect and cures the relatively low dynamic range too. All HDR photos I have seen so far are very good, always better than the normal one (feel real, not fake like other HDR photos).
The only thing I care now is the low-light mode. Com'on SS, the low-light mode on S3 and Note 2 was increadible, and you have it on A5 and A7 2016 too, so please give it back to S series.

LOL.....don't get me wrong, my wife still likes Android, she just doesn't care that much. She actually missed her Android when we first switched but I think facetiming with her family made her want to stick with the iPhone.
I will say this though. We have a couple Android tablets along with a couple iPads and I do believe iOS has Android beat when it comes to the tablet interface. Either way, I'm not really a tablet guy anyway. I'd much prefer to be sitting on the couch with my XPS 13 or gaming on my MSI GT72.

Looks an awful lot like the Style/Pure with slightly smaller bezel. Not getting any hopes up yet as this could simply be a pic overlay.
Please let it be a new Moto X! I was excited for the new Moto, but then the Moto Z was weak, no front facing speakers, and ugly finger print scanner on front, when it so obviously belongs on the back. I liked the ZTE Axon 7, but then it had the software issues and small, unmarked, unbacklit capacitive buttons. I was excited for the Pixel, but then it didnt have front facing speakers, has an uninspired deign with thick bezels and was priced absurdly expensively.
Is a stock android phone with front facing speakers too much to ask for? This phone looks great, even managed to shrink the already crazy thin bezels on the Moto X Pure. Look Moto, just give me the Moto X Pure again, with finger print scanner on back, Snapdragon 821, slightly better camera, and a decent battery life. I'll instantly buy it, even priced at $500.
That being said Motorola has already released a bunch of devices this year, and leak just looks like the Moto X pure with smaller bezels. I'd say it was fake if I had to guess. How would a new Moto X fit into their lineup? Would be a high end device? How would they market it differently than the Moto Z?

Agree with the above. I even ordered a OnePlus 3 on payg via O2 in UK. But then I had a good look at one in the shop and decided it was not an upgrade for the X Style. I cancelled the order. To be honest the X Style isn't all that bad and would consider a new model. So long as it had better battery life, a bright display like the current model and at least the 820.
Not convinced it's real but hope there is something in the pipeline. I'll happily stick with the current Moto x as nothing else really appeals at the moment.
