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!
Cheers,

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] from HTC One X+ to moto X?

hi
I own a htc one X+, and I would like to know if Im crazy buying a new moto x (310€ right now here in spain).
I don't need my 64gb storage, don't need FM radio..
I am looking for:
- better battery autonomy. Anyone knows how compares moto x against htc one x+?
- better user experience. No lags..
thanks!

I used to have an American HTC one x (dual core version with the snapdragon s4 pro). Since then I've had a RAZR m, note 2, lg g2, and moto x. The moto x is by far the smoothest of all of them, even without any custom Roms/kernels on the x. As far as battery life, I've been a bit spoiled by the g2 and the zerolemon I had for the note 2. I know a lot of people will tell you the battery is great in the x, but I think it's just OK. That being said, it's definitely better than my old one x, but I know you have the one x plus. Considering the moto x runs a more efficient chip with the same sized battery and screen, I can't imagine it's any worse than the one x+. Just be warned, if you are a flashaholic, don't get the x unless you're ready to be cured...

Had the HOX+,, love the Moto x better. The Moto has better battery life better camera and it is much faster. HOX+ is not going past jelly bean unless some miracle happens with Htc or someone ports it.

I came from the American One X (One XL), and it was totally worth it. The MotoX feels better, is WAY WAY WAY smoother, no lag at all. Battery is significantly better. Call quality is better. Everything is better.
If you're worried about price, just buy one used on swappa.com (~$200 or so)

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 2014 or Moto Play

Hey guys,
After a year of exploring Windows Phone i am coming back to android.
I just love the looks of Moto X 2014 bamboo edition and I am skeptical wether it would be a wise move, or just buy Moto Play.
The size and the bamboo, just make me love this phone, buy would you say is a good buy or just buy the Play which should be better in many aspects, although no bamboo and bigger size, that I don't like.

I have both. Honestly it's a hard call for me. Bouncing back and forth between devices, they both have their strong points. If size is your concern, then go with the 2014. Battery? XPlay. Premium feel? 2014. Camera? XPlay. Speed? They are around the same, though the XPlay has micro lags time to time. Expansion? XPlay. IR sensors? 2014. In some regards, the 3rd generation G performs better than the XPlay. Really it all boils down to what your explicit needs are.

Ok thanks. Do you really feel that camera improved that much?

Low light it still isn't as good as the g4, and s6, but overall, I find it worlds better. I'm not doing anything crazy, but overall I find it to be a marked improvement over the 2014.
The phone overall doesn't have that same feel of speed, but I'm not sure if that's something that will be fixed with kernel optimizations. Why exactly is it that you want a Moto device vs from another manufacturer?

great thanks,
i always liked Moto, from my Moto MIlestone.
LG: i tried LG G2 but i had a horrible experience with their customer service and sold all devices i had at home (tv, soundbar etc). Samsung and Sony, i dont like their interface. Huawei, i hate their interface. I love Stock Android, but Nexus is way too big...
This is my story, and that is why i tried Windows for about a year now, cause i wanted someting different...

Hi,
I tested both and ended sending back the play and keeping the x 2014, here are the reasons:
- got the x 2014 32 gb on an amazon deal for 299 euros against the 350 for the play
- the play was just too big for me, 5,2 inches is the biggest I can deal with
- the play's buttons felt way too cheap, they were loose and rattled all the time, for me that was not acceptable
- the play hasn't got gyroscope (no photosphere pictures) or IR sensors, and waving at the phone to turn it on is really comfortable
- the x 2014 feels much sturdier
- the x 2014 is snappier, I could notice the microlags on the play
Battery life is much better on the play, but now I carry an external battery with me just in case. The camera is also better, but the one from the x 2014 isn't that bad. The play has a SD card slot but 32 GB is enough for my use. The play display is fine, but so is the x 2014's.
If storage, battery life and camera is important for you and you are OK with the size go for the play.
So there it is, hope it helped!

so after playing with both phones, i am feeling that Moto X Play is way to big for me, and i dont feel that i have a special phone in my hand, whereas i had this feeling with Moto X 2014.
i just wish there was a phone like Moto X 2014 out there in the market, with a better camera, external sd card, and slightly better battery.
Now i am searching for another brand, and maybe i will leave Motorola because of this.

HTC One m8 or M9.
In terms of speed, HTC M8 and Moto X are tie as far as I can tell. HTC One M8 is way prettier than Moto and feels better in hand than moto.
So I would say M8 > Moto X 2014.
M9 is almost identical to m8 except chips and camera.
Lots of people say M9> M8 . But considering the price, I love m8 better.
From my hands on experience with all major Android phones, the overall best one in 2014 is M8.
2015 best phone hands down to S6/S6 edge. It blows everything else away. And yes, the new touchwiz is NOT slow at all.
