Moto G & Optimus G [E970]

I'm on about to buy one of these phones, both on the same +- budget [280$ include shipping, tax, vat], if you have another other option on this price I would like to hear.
I want a strong phone [quad-core], durable-strong, available replacement parts [on ebay etc], xda community, good camera...
I know some of these requirements are valid to the one and non to the other and vice verse, thats why I can not decide between the both.
The Optimus G is pretty old but with better camera and 2gb ram [include sd card]
The Moto G is new, durable, strong, updated, don't realy know about how bad its camera...
Whould like for some recommendations...
thanks!

I heard the camera on the moto g has some problems but the kit kat update fixed them, for spec wise the Optimus G has a better processor, bigger screen and bigger resolution and a better GPU while the Moto g has only a higher ppi. I would go with the moto g any day because LG phone Products suck D:
No, no problems on myne. mayby it happens ocasionaly..

G2 or Gpro

I have been thinking about upgrading my current LG optimus 4x.
Since I was satisfied with it and I am looking forward to LG. I know LGs update policy sucks but since I would strap a custom rom to my device ASAP I dont mind it.
My first option I was interested was Sony Xperia Z because of its design and looks. After a bit of reading, its display was bad and worse than my current 4X HD.
Nearly on the same price range lies Gpro and then just bit more expensive lies the G2. I was quite suprised to see the G2 CHEAPER than the Galaxy S4. I was kinda shocked.
G2 is the flagship or LG, while the Gpro is an older phone. However, both have spectacular specs and the design of the Gpro is nice.
Anyway, can anyone help me on this?

G pro pros: bigger screen, external SD, removable & stronger battery. Cons: weaker chipset, dated android version.
G2 - just the opposite.
Anyway- you should check the Z1, if the price is reasonable, then it will be my choice

[GENERAL HELP] Post Your Questions Here Instead of Making a New Thread

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!

compare z2, g3 and ip6

[Q] I convinced GF to drop VZW iPhone and move to T-Mobile Android, but which device?

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!

Nexus 5x vs. Motorola G4 plus

I'm looking for a new Android phone for an older person. Phone will be used mainly for calls, messages and taking pictures, so a good camera is important preference here. Phone should be in low- or mid price range.
So far, I have found Nexus 5x and Motorola G4 Plus to be a good deal. Which one would you recommend more, which camera is better? Do you have any other recommendation?
I will buy in on Amazon UK.
Hi, please post your question in the dedicated "what should I buy" thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620179
