Moto x. Better software. No lag. Faster updates.

Moto X of course. But, what did you expect when posting a question like this in the Moto X forum? I had the LG G2 and heavily favor the Moto X. Still think it's an awesome phone after a few months.
My comment on this was in one of these two postings:

This. G2 has better display, better battery life and MUCH better camera. Moto x has better software, better performance, more useful features, better speaker. If it wasnt for the lag i would say the G2 is better but because of it i say moto x.

Both phones are amazing in their own personal way...
I had the LG g2 after the moto x, then came back to the Moto x....
I missed the breathing notifications, and all of the personalization that comes with the moto x.
Fwiw, the LG g2 is a phone that you must root and put a custom rom onto in order to enjoy it ; at least for me.
The moto x is awesome out of the box!

I think it is a personal preference, they are both really good phones.
I have both and for me the G2 is the better phone. The moto is too small, the screen isn't as good, and is a touch slower and the camera is a step behind. Further, I tend to keep my phones for 2 years or longer and I feel like the G2 will be the better phone in the long haul. I know that some people complain about the UI but after a few weeks of using, rooting, and tweaking it I have it just the way I want it, lean but still useful feature rich. I loaded CM on it for 3 days and went back to my version of stock. It was just missing too much.
The moto is a great phone, the updates have been impressive, the features rock and my wife loves it. It is the good size for her and she doesn't care about screen resolution (or kit kat) in the slightest. She had a razr maxx and it was too big for her. She is much happier now with her pink and black moto x
good luck with your decision.

If you post this question on the "Moto X" area = Moto X winner
If you post this question on the "LG G2" area = G2 winner
G2 has better specs, better screen... but it's big, and clumsy, and made by LG which we all know, really don't care for updates... in the end, it's up to you...

I tried the G2 before the X (coming from a S4) and for me the screen was the deal breaker. I didn't like the G2 screen. I'm just a sucker for SAMOLED I guess but the low contrast and saturation of the G2 (both stock and CM10.2) drove me nuts constantly.
G2 wins on camera, battery life and audio quality over both the X and S4. The G2 processor absolutely smokes but I've been pleasantly surprised by the X in that regard as well. I'm not a gamer so this is just working with regular apps but it feels faster than the S4 and not too far off the G2.

[Q] Should I buy a Moto X?

I am eyeing the Motorola X as a successor to my current SGS4. Should I buy? Or should I wait for the next MX (X2?)?
I am looking into the Developer Edition. Motorola has a horrible reputation for updates (Atrix, Droid), but they have started keeping up with the X, I dont want the Lenovo sale to mess it up.
I am pretty engrossed by the features it provides, but the Nexus 5 is also an option...

If you've been reading the buyout then the impression is that Lenovo will not interfere with it and let Motorola continue its development.
The S4 is a pretty powerful phone, it have bigger screen, higher resolution, much better camera, microSD and removable battery which the Moto X doesn't have. The Moto X is well optimized, with stock Android, good form factor that is easy to use with one hand, and come with useful features. They are two different experience. You'll just have to see what suit you more and what you're looking for in a phone.
If you are willing to flash custom rom for the S4 and don't care about the touchless control features, you might not need to get a Moto X.
I much prefer the color calibration on the Moto X AMOLED display, it's not over-saturated and have more accurate white tone to me. Also while the S4 display is 1080p, its screen still not RGB pixel arrangement, while the Moto X display is.

The Motorola sale won't impact the less than a year it has left for updates....so that should not factor into your decision.

I will be using this phone for the next two years, so the buyout will affect me. Motorola will just be Motorola, but without the Google partnership. That can hurt a lot. I am pretty impressed with the moto x, and I love the touchless controls, that's why I considered it over the nexus 5...

You can use the phone for 10 years....but with the unofficial 18 months of updates Google started....the Moto x has less than a year left to get updates.....no matter who owns the Moto x. The sale won't change anything that would or wouldn't happen in that short period. So weather Google owns Motorola or anyone else....updates will be done for the X before the sale matters to Motorola.
Get what I'm saying? Custom roms will be the Moto x's only updates by the time any changes happen at Motorola.

Again...if you want the x....get it. The new owners may or may not mess up Motorola some day....but it won't affect the X....it will already be done getting updates by then.

The truth is if you but any other flagship that isn't a Nexus you are not guaranteed long updates period either. The fact that the Moto X have stock Android may give it longer update period than other phones with bloated UI. There is no reason why it should stop getting updates just because Lenovo bought it.

With the Moto X 16GB, you will only get 11GB of usable space. You can try to use some cloud storage to offset your data. You get 50gb of Google Drive storage when you buy a new Moto X.
Sony just announced end of life support for the Xperia S, no reason to get it: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...or-the-xperia-s-xperia-ion-xperia-u-and-more/
The hardware of the Xperia S is not very good anymore. I've used the Snapdragon 3 chip on the American version of Galaxy SII, it's not very smooth and you might even struggle to play some 1080p contents. I can tell you from experience the Qualcomm S4 chip and KitKat 4.4 on the MotoX vs S3 chip and 4.1 with bloated UI on the Xperia S is night and day difference. Even the Moto G is a faster phone than the Xperia S and have latest version of Android.
The ZL on the other hand is a better phone, it have microSD support. It have 1080p screen, but poor viewing angle though. I don't think Sony will update their phones as well compared to Motorola, even though they are being bought by Lenovo I still think they will keep up with the updates. I love the Moto X for the stock Android experience, there are lots of things unique about it, but if storage space is your biggest needs then ZL may be better for you.

Then I think that I will go for the ZL if I can find in the Internet a motox of 32gb I'll buy it If not the ZL thanks

The moto x is a decent phone. I got one in a trade and I like it, but the screen is too small for me. After using a note 2 it is hard to go to a smaller screen.

[Q] Upgrading from Moto G

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Moto G 16gb for 199 euros and one of my classmates is ready to buy it from me for the same price.
I am seriously considering selling it to him and buy myself a new phone but i am confused
Should i stick to Moto G or sell it to him and buy one of these Moto X or Nexus 5 (16gb) or HTC One mini or Sony Xperia Z (the four devices come around 349 euros, i will be paying 150 more from my pocket)..
I have not included Samsung in the list (never like it) and i havent used Sony or HTC before. I live in Germany and LTE is not an absolute must, however good battery is a must though.
Suggestions please!!
Thanks in advance
Sanjay

Moto g and Moto x are far far away. If you can buy a moto x for 150 more do it.
Sent From Moto X

The Moto X is the best choice from that list if you factor in battery life. If battery life isn't important, than maybe Nexus 5 is better.
Nexus 5 have wireless charging, better camera, 1080p screen, and more developers for custom roms.
Moto X have better battery life, unique features like Touchless Control and Active Display, smaller size and better form factor, great sounding speaker and good voice quality.
If you want a very fast phone, root and flash custom roms a lot, get a Nexus 5. If you want a good experience right out of the box with good battery life, get Moto X.

Thanks everyone
Got myself a Moto X (Moto Maker is not available in Germany which was the only bummer)

Have both, MG and MX. The X feels far more better in the hand, although the MG is really good.
Grüße aus Köln

Just got a moto x but I like my moto g more

[Q] Galaxy S3 to Moto X

I'm thinking of moving to the Moto X. Do you miss anything from the S3? Are there hardware or software features of the Moto X you couldn't live without now? The Moto X screen seems much smaller for only being .1 inches smaller.

I came from an s4. Never really used the features on the s4 except the smart stay which barely worked and the increase touch sensitivity which I do miss some. Other then that I don't really miss anything from it, being that I was stuck on TW. Got the moto x with the close to stock android feel and being on kit Kat without any issues has made the change much better. Root, busybox, greenify, and viper4android that's all you need. No need to flash custom Roms or anything. Make sure you get a 32 gig though.
MOTO X Slapped

There's a whole other thread about exactly this.

Any issues moving from a 5" 1080P screen to a 4.7" 720P screen?

Holy repeat thread batman. Stop the madness

No issues. I use my hands for work all the time and holding the 5" s4 was actually hurting my hand and was hard to text with one hand. 720 is still as good as 1080. I watched movies on movietube and its still pretty clear.
MOTO X Slapped

I came from the S4, I hated the lag. The S3 was much better. I only got the X because of Touchless Control. It was well worth it for me.

Flash is much brighter on the S3 and it has a better camera quality. Other than that, Moto X trumps all.

I didn't know how useful touchless control and active assist would be... I've only had my moto x for about 2 weeks and set up active assist. while driving it has been the most useful thing ever. Reading text messages and responding to them and picking up phone calls or making phone calls, All without having to pick up your phone. I've been using my gs4 headphones and it works great on the x except changing songs or pausing on the headphones.

Samsung's radios are pure CRAP. So if you want to use your phone as a PHONE or a 4G LTE device - AVOID SAMSUNG AT ALL COSTS THEIR RADIOS SUCK.
Also, touchwiz is a bloated skin that causes so much lag it is ridiculous.

I've just upgraded from an s4 The moto is faster in every way except wifi speedtest. It is much easier to use one handed, but the screen seems much smaller which is weird since there really isn't such a big difference.
The radios seems about the same when I check dbm and asu numbers.
The resolution on the moto is fine though the screen suffers from a lot of black crush.
I much prefer the moto. Hated the lag on the s4 and didn't care for the bloat.

I'm moving from an S3 and hated TouchWiz so much that I unlocked it and installed CM 11 on it. On stock the interface was laggy and the camera app was horrible. On CM there were developmental problems (normal for a new CM release) like Bluetooth not working correctly but at least it was snappy and the camera app was good.
Went to the Moto X and love it, I don't miss any of the Samsung crapware and while I've heard peopel complain about the wifi it is more than fast enough for me so I don't worry about it.

moving to new phone from one x..

Hi,
I am not a noob.
Moto x 2014 or nexus 5??
Which one is good??
I got to know that moto X doest run pure android and it runs GEL..

Moto x runs closest to pure android then any other phone besides the obvious Nexus. In fact its like running stock with a few amazing features thrown in to enhance the stock experience. I'd easily pick this phone over a nexus 5.

I just handed down my N5 and got a MX. Both phones are fantastic. I'd take them both over any other device out there. Can't go wrong. MX is a slight upgrade from the N5, but only slightly. N5 is more bang for your buck

I have heard that moto x lags when you switch to google search(swipe most left) on launcher and while pulling down notification.
