[Sou Da]

Should I just get a Moto G?

 

[Cheebo]

Specs are fantastic for that price.

 

[Fliesen]

Ever since putting my iPhone 6 into a google Cardboard, i understand that QuadHD actually is a desirable resolution to have on a smartphone. :/

 

[tycoonheart]

This def seems more enticing to me than Oneplus Two

I only wish the screen were smaller

 

[BronsonLee]

Those specs at that price are absolutely savage.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Regretting my S6 purchase more and more every day.

 

[nortonff]

I'll finally replace my S3.

 

[Servbot24]

Physical customization on a phone is honestly pretty off-putting to me. I don't want to assemble or attach things to my phone. I want a singular, solid entity.

Cool for those who want it, just not for me personally.

 

[Ryne]

I'm in for a new phone, it will be either this or the oneplus two.

Not a fan of the design, however the specs and price seem great so it's definitely in the conversation.

 

[Red]

Moto deserves more success. Their phones have been great three years running.

 

[Yurikerr]

But you don't need to assemble anything. They are customizable because you can choose colors and materials before the purchase (using the moto maker portal).

After you buy it i don't think you can't change anything. (maybe the backplate).

It's ordered and assembled for you. It's like picking the color of your iPhone, but with way more options. A good metaphor for Android.

 

[Dead Prince]

oh. so i should just buy this one instead of OP2? lol. i like the colors. makes it unique for purposes.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Hello my LG G3 upgrade.

 

[Wreav]

Moto's customer service is top notch. That alone should push you towards the Pure instead of the OP2.

 

[birthday-suit]

I was going to get a galaxy 6 edge

But I'm in it just for the sd card

 

[neogaffer1]

Someone want to make the Moto G one? I'm on my phone right now. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AndroidPolice/~3/KaO6RJsuJwc/story01.htm

 

[Bit-Bit]

Uh, I was in line to buy a Oneplus 2, but not anymore.

Motorola just slayed it with the battery features, camera size, and pricing point.

Jesus christ.

Don't get too excited about the camera yet. Wait for reviews.

 

[Kanye]

The segregated customization areas take away from how good looking this phone could be.

Not for me personally.

 

[Shuggananas]

Someone want to make the Moto G one? I'm on my phone right now. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AndroidPolice/~3/KaO6RJsuJwc/story01.htm

The price is $179 for the 1GB/8GB version and $219.99 for the 2GB/16GB version.

Sweet. I know what phone I'm getting next

 

[Kinsella]

Should I just get a Moto G?

I'm getting the new one with 2gig of ram when it goes on sale at Amazon later today. The X is just stupidly big imo. The G's 5 inch screen is the perfect screen size for me personally.

 

[Fatalah]

I'm so happy Motorola exists. They speak my language. Still rocking my 2013 Moto X and loving it.

+ Low cost hardware
+ Pure Android
+ Expandable memory
+ Focused on battery life + high performing camera
+ One SKU that works on ANY carrier

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Can someone post the full specs please. Can't go to the link right now...

Did you actually think you put everything together yourself? What.

You order your phone and it's made to your liking.

 

[Easy_D]

Should I just get a Moto G?

Absolutely, Moto G is a great budget phone and my only complaint is that you can tell it's RAM strained so:

Do this, pretty much, with 2gB of RAM it's gonna be the the king of budget phones. (It kind of is already, but even more so now)

 

[m_shortpants]

Considering there will likely be a Verizon version, in.

 

[DOWN]

I feel like it doesn't bode well or at least not stellar when press for your phone starts out telling us that it's alive and well this year. Like acknowledging we probably weren't aware.

 

[Kinsella]

I almost did it last week but right before I pulled the trigger The Verge ran a story about this weeks potential Moto G 3rd Gen unveiling. Glad I waited.

 

[TTOOLL]

Any news on Moto apps?

 

[neogaffer1]

Can someone post the full specs please. Can't go to the link right now...

5.7" 1440p screen
3GB RAM
SD 808
3000Mah battery
16/32GB, MicroSD
21 MP Camera
$400

 

[NYCmetsfan]

So I'm really debating between this or the 16 gb moto g.

I don't need a power phone but the much better camera and battery are really pushing me to spend the extra $200

 

[Pinko Marx]

Looks and sounds like an upgraded Nexus 6.

 

[Vanillalite]

ASUS Zenfone shits all over the Moto lineup.

 

[soundahfekz]

5.7" 1440p screen
3GB RAM
SD 808
3000Mah battery
16/32GB, MicroSD

Gotta see what that camera is like, but sounds good to me

Yeah I'll go for it then, the X is too big for my tastes.

 

[neogaffer1]

ASUS Zenfone shits all over the Moto lineup.

lolno Zenfone is good but it doesn't touch Moto's software or customization

 

[Miles Quaritch]

5.7" 1440p screen
3GB RAM
SD 808
3000Mah battery
16/32GB, MicroSD
21 MP Camera
$400

Thank you.

That's one hell of a price for that much phone. So glad I didn't jump on the Samsung or Apple trains.

 

[birthday-suit]

lolno

I have one and the battery life is terrible.

And if you don't have your original zenphone charger battery charge time is terrible.

 

[RuGalz]

sounds good to me. I'll be waiting for next year's 5.2 model with finger print scanner probably. This kind of spec at this price + near stock android + microSD support can make me ditch Nexus.

 

[Kinsella]

ASUS Zenfone shits all over the Moto lineup.

If bloatware is what you love, get a Zenfone.

 

[Blasty]

I wish it were smaller with a finger print scanner. This is pretty tempting though.

Doesn't the iPhone only have 1 gb of ram as well?

 

[Kinsella]

Doesn't the iPhone only have 1 gb of ram as well?

iOS isn't Android. iOS 9 will push Apple to put 2 gig in their devices.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Also in the US its a pure edition. No excess stuff.

It really seems like a nexus. They're also really pushing the direct purchasing of phones. Its awesome not to have to go through a carrier.

 

[popeutlal]

Zenfone now has CM 12.1 support. So the future updates will not be an issue.

 

[neogaffer1]

Look up active display and other Moto tweaks.

 

[gcubed]

Updates won't, but usability will

 

[LouisaFerre]

Look up active display and other Moto tweaks.

Little concerned about how the active display thing will work since the site says they switched from AMOLED to LCD.
