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.

Disadvantages MotoX vs LG Optimus G

Hey guys,
Tomorrow I'll change my Optimus G for Moto X. ..
I wonder if you have any chronic problem in MotoX, eg optimus G has a camera of 13Mpx low image quality ...
So, is there any reason that someone did regret the Moto X?
Thank you! I hope to soon be with you ...

The X is awesome. The end.

The Optimus G was my previous phone before the MotoX.
The G is a great phone and performance wise is actually close to the MotoX. The MotoX's features make it a better user experience IMO. Motorola has done a great job of optimizing the hardware on the X.
You will will getting a slightly smaller and lighter phone. You also lose some screen real estate because of the on screen buttons on the X.
I had the 8 megapixel AT&T version of the G, so I never got to experience the 13 megapixel camera.
The only thing I miss about the G is the SD Card.

Here I am! With my X in the hands and mind! Tks

Moto X 2014 or Moto G 3rd Gen?

I have the Nexus 6. I am finding it too big. I would like to go back to the Moto X 2014. I had it before and liked the size. But now with the Moto G 3rd Gen out, should I go for that one? I know its .2 inch smaller which is not a big deal. Plus the Moto G has dual speakers for stereo sound and of course a SD slot. Also now that the Moto G camera is also 13 meg is it as good as the X or perhaps better? The Moto X 2014 is about $150 more which is why I am wondering what to get.
Thanks

Supposedly the camera is the same from the nexus 6 without OIS. I faced your same decision and will be ordering my moto x today. I decided to go with the X again (just cracked the screen last week, still usable though). I thought about the nexus 6 since its on sale but its just too big. So back to the moto x or moto G 3rd gen. The main appeal of the moto g for me was water resistance and cheap price, SD slot was nice but if I got a 32GB X it wouldn't matter. So I am going for the moto x because its just been so rock solid. It feels great in the hand and I appreciate the premium feel. The 5.1.0 update has removed any little lag it had on the first 5.0 so performance is great.
My only issue with the moto x was that I had a 16GB ATT version, I also would have liked it to have a white back. Now I get to have it in a white back and 32GB for only $350. Im sold. I thought about waiting for the new moto x 2015 but I want to try it in the hand first, I can see myself easily going another year on a moto x. If the screen never cracked I would not have been looking for a new phone, the motorola software is something I use daily.
Good luck on your decision.

Between the two, I would pick the Moto G. Just get the 16 gig with 2 gig ram and you basically have the same phone for less money. Plus you can customize it on Moto maker now and you get a sd card slot.

Nope, the third gen G doesn't have stereo speakers. And I hope you do realize you'll be dealing with a mid-range device, performance compared to the N6 and X14 cannot be compared.

The G has a newer camera (IMX214 vs 135 in the X), a brighter aperture (f2.0 vs 2.25), color balancing flash, and a microSD, so definitely get the G if you care about the camera. It's also waterproof and has better battery life than the mediocre battery in the X. Avoid it if you want the nicer build, display or faster processor. The G will also likely get Android M first, as last year's G got 5.0 long before the X OG, though to be fair the OG X was underpowered.

I recently bought a Moto X 2014 despite knowing of the new one coming up.
I love amoled displays, and especially for ambient features of the moto x. Mono speaker is a bit disappointing, but it sounds good for only having one. I've used the Nexus 6 and loved it, but it could be a bit cumbersome at times. Most recently I used a SGS6, but grew tired of how limited it was in terms of ROMs among other things.
The Moto X 2014 is about $299 (16GB) USD as of now new, so you'd be saving $100 as well. Everyone has their own tastes, but Amoled (and smaller) display + the current price makes it a steal to me. I've also fallen in love with the Moto software as of late.
Hope this helps!

Moto x vs droid maxx 2

Hi,
So I now have both of these phones and am wondering which I want to keep as my own.
32gb moto x 2014 for Verizon
Vs
16gb (+sd slot) brand new droid maxx 2
Seems like the camera is a bit better on the maxx, but less onboard storage. More Verizon bloat too.
I have the 2013 x now and like the near stock feel.
The maxx is slotted for 6.0 though....
Which to keep as my own?
Thoughts?
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

There are 6.0 FWs for the 2014 around, in fact I've been running one for two weeks. It's going to be officially updated soon, but I can say I'm never remembered that I'm running a beta given how flawless the experience already is.
It depends on how much of a heavy user you are, even though my X has been giving me surprising battery backup lately, compared to Lollipop which was a bit weak.
If you value stock feel and updates, plus that tiny little bit of genius that are the IR sensors, forget the Maxx.

But. Has anyone cracked the bootloader /root for Verizon moto x???
