Is Moto G Worth Buying ?

Hi, I am from India and today flipkart is launching Moto G so i want to know if its worth buying Moto G 8gb Variant ?
Is there any alternative better phone for that 12.5k ?

At least un USA and Latín American, The G os easily the bestia phone for its price... Even better than some costing 2 por even 3 times its price, all thanks to some amazing optimization and pretty much stock android
Get it ! Its well worth it, the best price/performance phone out there alongside the N5

I would not expect much from the camera since it's pretty average but at the price you would be amazed it has a camera at all. but nevertheless the phone is totally worth buying without a doubt.

The camera is pretty subpar. Other than that you will be satisfied, at least for the price point.

I ordered the 8gb one. my sister told she does not need 16gb.. it was up to her to decide.
Battery cannot be removed will that be an issue ?

Optimus f7 thread?

Where is it? Can't find it. Does it exist? I'm interested in buying it but not sure yet. Another question, if I buy it locked from amazon can I use it without a plan aka phone service? I'm planning to use it strictly for wifi/gps. As a tablet. Anyone know?

from a quick search it looks like it does not have a forum on XDA, but androidforums has one. as for the 2nd question, you are able to use it without a phone service and still use the wifi/gps.
i would recomend getting a moto g instead if your not going to use it for service. its $100 less on amazon but the F7 beats its specs by a little. theres a bigger display on the F7, bigger battery, better CPU (Dual core 1.5ghz vs quad core 1.2ghz) better Camera and expandable storage (MicroSD) while the moto g punchs the F7 with a Higher ppi (pixels per inch) and a hugely better GPU and will be updated to higher versions of android and has a active community on XDA.

Thanks. But they cost the same (200 dollars) on Amazon. So being "locked" won't make it unusable? It HAS to have a external micro sd card slot. So the moto g is not a good choice to me. I love love everything about the moto g EXCEPT the fact that it doesn't have the external sd card. So it has to be between the optimus f7 or optimus g. Both 200 dollars on amazon. Here's the link

When it means "locked" it means its locked to the carrier, but since its boost mobile you can most likely use it on sprint. As for the price, the moto g is $99 on Verizon (amazon) and $129 on boost mobile (amazon)

But the thing is that I don't plan on connecting it. I plan to use it strictly as a wifi only device. So being unlocked or locked doesn't matter if I don't plan on connecting it with a phone plan? Sorry for asking. For example would it matter if I got the cheaper prepaid moto g or the more expensive unlocked version?

I totally know what you mean mate, you are able to use any android device just for WiFi without a data plan,( it might prompt you to activate it but you can just ignore it) if you bought one of them you will be able to use it just like your using your galaxy player 4.2. I was only telling you the carrier info just in case you want to use it in the future

Does the ROM made for single SIM variant works on the dual SIM model, I mean does the 1SIM work perfectly...atleast 1SIM should work properly!

For sure an upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy SII, Epic 4g Touch. Mostly the battery and the screen. The camera is honestly slightly worse, but I don't instagram my food so it's not a huge deal to me.

Yes, perfectly normal - as long as you're using it on the first sim slot. Doing it myself on mine.

Go for it dude. I got the XT1032 (single-SIM) for 16.5K a few weeks ago, because I was concerned a lot about dev. support. But, seems like you can go with the XT1033 as well as it seems to support most ROMs.

buy it, you wont be disapointed. just remember if you let it discharge completely and it wont turn on or recharge - keep the power button pressed until it turns on

Fantastic phone for the money. Feels like a Nexus, looks like one, performs like one. Great phone, **** 2G battery drain though lol.

Been loving this phone myself. The battery life is amazing on it, and it is pretty tough to kill it. Wish it was 32 instead of 16 gigs but no biggie.

I call it the Nexus 5 Mini, its THAT good (especially considering the price tag)

.Im personally very remorseful about buying the $99 Locked Bootloader Version, but the phone itself has been great.

Video Calls
Can we make video calls??

Pros
Screen is beautiful
Water resistant
Super fast no lags
No bloatware
Almost pure android experience
Its got 4.4
Amazing battery
High quality body better than any phone in this range
Con's
Camera is 5mp but that not big of an issue given the price
Battery charges a bit slow
The RAM is 1GB but haven't had any issues yet in playing any games or anything else
Opinion
Nexus 4.5

I have moto g and I got the optimus g pro(New at atf is 333 bucks) while the g is a great phone the pro has been in my hands and I haven't even thought bout my g.
It depends on budget and what you need in a phone. I really enjoying have lte again and the pro has more bang for buck for another 100+ but if you need a unlocked phone then the g is your best bet.

Lg Repair Rip Off?

Anyone know why is Lg charging me this much for a screen repair? I will call in the morning but that is ridiculous for that price. All I want is a screen repair.

That price is pretty normal in Denmark. Here its usually cheaper to buy a new smartphone, than getting it fixed. Its only iPhone that is cheap because so many unauthorized store use cheap China spare parts

I'm not passing any judgment on you so don't get offended, but my guess is they figure since you took a drill to it, either a. they think you don't care about the money or b. you're an idiot and will pay without questioning.
But from the pictures, it wouldn't surprise me if it's not just the screen.
good luck!

It should be just the screen because I replaced it with an eBay one but the screen wasn't a original. It kinda work with the eBay one but it didn't. I sent it back and I'm guessing it was the screen. Everything in it is not damage and I live is the united States by the way.
Edit: Can anyone link me to an OEM screen ? On eBay or Amazon only

I'd get a new phone. As hinted already....you'd be lucky if the only thing wrong is the screen. Probably more damage than that. I wouldn't potentially waste money on trying to fix it.....only to discover there's other problems too.
Did you drive over it a few times??? Lol

Lol I won't pay that and they said its tamper because I open it and for some reason will charge that price. They said parts are missing which is nothing at all besides the screen lmao. I'm gonna try a replacement screen from amazon.

Phone to replace my LG G4

I bought an LG G4 3 months ago on swappa. I have since regretted the decision. Everything has gone wrong. It drops WiFi, and data locks up on cellular meaning I have to toggle airplane mode in and off and it's dropping calls. It also no longer charges so I have to swap batteries every time I want to charge. This phone has got to go...
My phone needs.
-1 day of battery life with at least 6 hours of screen time.
-quick OS updates
-decent camera with manual mode preferred
-good water resistance rating. Should be able to survive being in my pocket through a good rain storm.
-decent quality screen in sunlight.
- t mobile band 12
-less than 300 on swappa
What I don't care about
-benchmarks, as long as the phone is responsive.
-Screen size.
I mostly just use the phone for Facebook, Web browsing, and watching videos. I don't play games.
Is there a phone out there that can live up to this. I was looking at the moto x play, but it never came to the US and lacks band 12/VOLTE

HTC one a9 pretty good
Lg flex 2
Lg v10
Sony xperia x
Sony z3 plus
Samsung s5 or s6

I have never needed to contact oneplus, so I have no opinion on after sales care. I don't think at this time I would bother with the 1+3 as the 1 is still so good, but then again there's more to life than a smartphone.
