It's running Android 4.1 though, didn't 4.2 introduce a lot of changes under the hood to boost Android performance? I presume 4.3 did too which the G launches with.

How the G beats the Nexus 4 though is confusing me as for raw grunt the N4 should be a good bit ahead since it's a quad core Krait with higher clock speeds to boot.

there is between a 5-10% boost in quadrant from 4.1 to 4.3 in benchmarks from the Galaxy S3 and N10 (ones i could find the difference)

The Moto G has a 50% higher score then the Xperia M in quadrant. Its clearly better then that chipset

I don't know - the benchmarks seem a bit funky to me. There's no way the G should be beating a Nexus 4. The CPU and GPU in the 4 are both significantly more powerful (A7 vs. Krait, Adreno 305 vs. 320).

i'll chalk the 4 up to something weird, and its close anyway. It doubles the XperiaM (520/620 chipset), which was the original comparison

And if you trust Quadrant that means it's also faster than the Nexus 4, which has by far the better chipset. It's a poor benchmark to compare with and is quite clearly flawed.

It shouldn't be beating what's in the Xperia M never mind the Nexus 4. There is something very wrong somewhere.

and antutu and vellamo (which is by qualcomm)?

edit... no vellamo, my bad, i thought I saw a vellamo benchmark, but dont see one

Yes, as again it shouldn't be beating a Nexus 4 in that benchmark.

It seems to outperform a Nexus 4 in that benchmark too.

Quick and dirty comparison so far:

Moto G <-> Nexus 4

Antutu: 17.200 <-> 15.700
Quadrant 8.300 <-> 4.800
Vellamo (HTML 5) 1.966 <-> 1276
3DMark 5.400 <-> 5.513

First impressions of battery life are very postitve. One guy at XDA reported 60% of battery remaining after a day and compared it to the Xperia Z1 with 3.000mAh battery.

Wait, these benchmarks for the Moto G aren't even for Kit Kat, right? That makes the results even weirder. What kind of black magic optimizations is Motorola putting in their phones?

Nexus 4 benchmarks have always been duds, something about the thermal throttling used in the chipset means it never manages to use its full power.

Look at the LG Optimus G for an idea of how that chipset (S4 Pro + Adreno 320) really performs.

Shopping for a phone and this looks interesting. How is Motorola generally speaking compared to HTC and Samsung? I do remember people complaining that the Razr didn't even allow simple stuff like using own ringtones..

Need a good GPS reception, stable software and decent speakers.

Mmh those benchmarks and the battery life all sound great..

something useful from a bayern fan? How unusual

Thanks, man!

EDIT: Just read that it doesn't have an sd slot. I'm out

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I see all the software stuff looks good. I just want to know how durable this phone is, nobody seems to have really touched on that.

Is this phones internet speed same as a nexus?
