I've looked, but couldn't find anything. I'm just not happy with the lag of this device and since the nexus 6 is going to be way too big, I'm looking at the moto X.
I have to get the pure edition since I'm with T-Mobile, so I don't want to dish out the full price if it's not going to be a smoother experience.
Thanks for any help.
I dont know about the lag of the LG G3, but the Moto X has almost 0 lag, if any to be fair... 3 days and nothing
I do find it interesting, Considering my brother's G2 have almost 0 lag, maybe the 2K screen its a little too much ?
I think it is. The GPU is the same as most 1080p phones use and I think it can't keep up. I've even overclocked the GPU and still lag on games.
I ordered a motox 2 weeks ago to replace my Verizon g3 because there was no development. Now I still don't have the x and they unlocked the Verizon boot loader...
I have the T-Mobile G3 with the unlocked bootloader and there's not much out there. My guess, is even with bump, it's going to be a while until development takes off.

I left the Nexus 5 for the LG3......the lag or should I say lack of Nexus smoothness and buttery transitions forced me to leave LG G3 for the new X.......
What a more pleasent experience.
Prior to selling the G3 I did a side by side.....the difference in the screen and picture quality is noticable.......but overall.....the X has beem the best Android experience ever.
Overly glad I made the choice
Yeah the g3 is a lag machine for sure. I used it like once. Ew. Has the same gpu as g2 with 2k screen. Yeah no. G2 is miles smoother(I had one) got this x and this is smoother yet!

That's great to hear. I'm in your same boat, nexus 5 to G3 to now (possibly) the moto X. To hear the moto X has been your best Android experience is helping push me.

I came to Moto X 2014 from a Nexus 4 and my first experience with the new X was kind of disappointing due to its speed and some small lags (Nexus 4 was running perfectly smooth...). Then I changed the Android X execution from Dalvik to ART and it's now running like a supersonic jet! Try do the same in your G3 (if you didn't), maybe it works. Reducing the animations speed to .5x can also help your G3 experience.
If you go to the new X, let me say that it's Amoled display is, in my oppinion (my personal oppinion), a crap. LG and Sony displays are much better than Amoled, so be prepared!
Regards!
I had other phones in between but I now have the 2014 Moto X and had a G3. The G3 is nice, but IMO it was bulkier to hold and far more laggy than most of the other recent phones I have had. The Moto X is so much smoother and the Moto specific features, like ActiveDisplay, are far more useful. The resolution was great, but the screen wasn't really anything impressive past that. Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to screens though. Personally I have hated the LG screens all around (nexus 4, nexus 5, G3, G2). I find the colors too dull and the brightness for most of them very lackluster. The Moto X 2014 is also kinda "meh" in the brightness department, but the screen is still nice.

whoa, now I have an opposite reaction toward the Moto X. I come from the Nexus 4 as well, and the Nexus 4 was laggy a bit for me. The heating up by doing almost nothing was also a problem. The amoled display isn't that bad, but I know it ain't no Samsung screen.
I had the g3, but returned it within the 2 week period. I couldn't get over the cheap plasticky feel of the phone, it would creak when I gripped the phone, and even after root and debloat, it would occasionally stutter in the UI here and there.
replaced it with an HTC one m8 which I absolutely love - but despite the lack of stereo boomsound speakers and a microsd card slot, the moto x is better in every way. well, the camera on the m8 was actually pretty decent in low light, just as long as you didn't need to zoom or crop.
but so far, I am loving the moto x as it feels lighter, smoother and more responsive than the g3 by far, and even the m8. I love the amoled screen, the inky blacks are awesome especially at night. Feels just as premium as the m8, and way more premium the the plastic fantastic g3. especially with the leather back, it feels organic and unique.
highly recommended.
Well, I took the plunge and ordered a 32gb pure edition (I have T-Mobile). Moto says it should be here by the 22nd but I have read there are delays in the 32gb
Selling the G3 and N5 should more than offset the cost of the moto X.
I just need a fluid experience and regardless of the bells and whistles of the G3, they don't mean crap if the user experience is crap.
Thanks for all the input.

My 32gb I ordered last week shipped the next day. Depends on the configuration I think.
The benchmarks also prove how laggy and slow the G3 is compared to the X. In my opinion it doesn't even closely compare to the Moto X in design, ergonomics, performance, call quality or speaker output. Might have a slight edge on display and camera quality.

Some times I want to throw this thing against the wall. It was my stupid fault getting this phone (G3). My wife got one and I liked some of the features like the IR blaster and knock on/off, but I didn't take time with it to see the lagging. My N5 battery seems to be draining fast, so I got the green eyed monster and hastily went with the G3.
I just hope I won't be waiting a month for my moto X to arrive.
I sold my g3 after less than a week having it. The 801 can't drive the screen and it's laggy as hell. Love my Moto X so far and hoping for better battery with L which you know we will be one of the first to get.
I left the LG G3 Verizon and got a Custom Moto X 2014 on VZW. I went White, Gold, Brown Leather 32GB. I need root but other then that im happy. The leather could be thicker and better but. Ordered 10/7 and got 10/13.
Am i the only here who loved g3 and it's linda missing him? Got a moto X 2014, and i miss a lot of the functionalities and the câmera quality, wich i proved yesterday that is not that good on x.
I have a Nexus 5, 16GB. I love/hate the phone.
I love the 1080p screen, stock Android, the RGB notification light and the fast performance. I even like the camera.
But I absolutely hate the speakers, the storage and the battery life. The battery life is truly atrocious.
I can sell the phone for $200 to a friend. I was thinking... would it be a good idea to get a Moto G Second Generation instead of keeping the Nexus 5?
I would get better speakers, expandable storage (I really want to have all my music in my phone)... but I don't know about the battery life (is it better than the Nexus 5?).

Yes, battery life is better than nexus 5
Keep your Nexus 5 and just buy an iPod touch for your music.
Keep your NEXUS 5 (unless you don't multitask). Get the Sansa Clip Zip and put Rockbox on it. It can accept upto 128GB MicroSD provided you format it to FAT32
As for the battery, get a portable charger like Anker Astro Slim3. It'll get you phone to 60-70% in an hour.
Trade it for an LG G2, amazing huge battery, better camera, 32GB, speakers are so so. But since I use headphones most of the time its not so bad. But also try experimenting with other kernels on the Nexus 5. And upload all your music to Google Play Music. Its free up to 20,000 songs.
no man.. nexus 5 is a great phone as compared to moto g 2014
moto g 2014 is already facing memory management issues and trust me you dont want this phone until this issue is fixed! :good:
stay on nexus 5 because 1gb ram is not enough for multitasking.

im a new user but i would suggest getting a mp3 player instead, i too use the phone for music(16 gigs almost of it) but i woudnt trade a nexus 5 for a moto g atleast from a spec wise point
I don't have a Moto G 2014 (yet) but I would imagine that the performance/responsiveness would be noticeable compared to the n5. Just by looking at the specs side by side

I'm using Nexus5 / 4 on a daily basis and owned recently a Xperia Z/ Z2 and a LG G2. I had to use a moto G for 3 days and I concluded that the G maybe good for the price it's sold for but not a flagship killer or even midrange killer as some would say: HYPE!
Has any heavy Droid Turbo user updated to the S6 or LG G4? I am getting a little tired of my Turbo screen - seems the new screens have some much more resolution.
Resolution is the same.. its just the Samsung screen is much much brighter
Color saturation and brightness are the difference. If you are bored of the screen on your Turbo, you might be difficult to please. Also, reports indicate that battery life with the S6 is dismal due to software issues. For me, the Turbo, as with the Droid MAXX series before, always comes down to battery life. It still tops the competition.

One thing I LOVE about my Moto Maxx (same hardware as the Droid Turbo) is the 3900 mAh battery. Oh my goodness. Coming from two Nexus phones (Google is always skimpy with the batteries), it's been fantastic. The 5.2" Quark phones (Droid Turbo/Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx) have LARGER batteries than the 5.96" Motorola Nexus 6.
I'm not always looking for a place to plug in.
All manufacturers should do that. Just put in a bigger battery!
I notice for the just-announced Galaxy S6 "Active", Samsung has decided to put in a 3500 mAh battery instead of the 2550 mAh they put in the Galaxy S6. THAT small size was very strange. The 2015 5.1" 1440p S6 (2550 mAh) has a SMALLER battery than the 2014 5.1" 1080p Galaxy S5 (2800 mAh). What was Samsung thinking?
______
I just won an AT&T LG G4. Pre-release marketing campaign and I got lucky. $699 retail value. Company says it will arrive first two weeks of August. I'm seriously thinking about selling it on eBay and keeping my Moto Maxx...
The only thing Motorola could have done to make the Moto Maxx better was rear camera OIS like they put in the Nexus 6. They knew how to do it, but didn't. They put everything else in... Qi wireless, turbo charging, 1440p, 3GB RAM, multiple carrier LTE capability, and huge BATTERY.

I love my turbo - I am just going to stick with it until the next Moto comes out
I came to the Turbo from a Note 4. The Samsung has the best screen out there, but not by much. It is fast, and it takes a MicroSD card and you can remove the battery. Touchwhiz has been toned down on the lollipop OTA.
That said, a family member needed a new phone and didn't have the money to spend on an upgrade, so I paid it for her and took the new phone and gave her the Note 4.
I got the Turbo. Game up a little screen size and the SD slot, but the internals are the same, the phone is very well built, gets insane battery life(The Note 4 was no slouch either), and it is water repellent, which matters to me when riding in the summer and I get caught out in a rain storm...
If not for the damned lollipop update taking forever, this would be nearly the perfect phone...

1440x2560 on a 5.2" screen (565 PPI) isn't good enough for you??
I dunno guys, but I'm not able to see much difference between my Droid MAXX (5.0" 720p) and Moto MAXX (5.2" 1440p) when it comes to the pixel density. On stock, the Turbo's warm colors were a bit annoying, but that's something I adjusted in CM12.1 just fine (setting under LiveDisplay 95% to R, 95% to G, 100% to B) and the colors are nicely colder.
I am getting the g4 tomorrow because I had to switch to T-Mobile unfortunately in terms of having unlimited data and what not. I have been fed up with the turbo not receiving lollipop for the longest time. The advanced hd calling bs is wack because in reality if you think about it, the Verizon g2, htc m7, s4 and what not didn't have it at all as well and have been updated to lollipop with no problem way before this phone has even when being promised asap the update. It's been a well good use with the turbo for all this time, exceptional battery life, but didn't like the heating issues it has after using for about 20 mins doing normal browsing on social media and browser.

Let us know how the G4 compares.
I plan on sticking with the Turbo (actually Moto Maxx) until the flagship phones are out with the Snapdragon 820...assuming the 820 doesn't have issues like the 810.

I surely will let all of you know how it stacks up. I might miss the droid turbo because of the battery life, but lg g4 reigns supreme because of the extra battery and super high capacity micro sd expansion.
Having played with the Nexus for several days now, I am glad that I switched. The screen is larger and a tad nicer, and running unmodified Lollipop really is nice for a change. It;s fast, fluid, etc... Easily unlocked and rooted, you get to play with developer previews, etc... It just works really well.
What I miss? Battery life and the gestures, but battery life is still solid and gestures like waving your hand over it... It's nice, but it isn't a deal breaker for me... Overall I think I got the better phone.

That's good news! I'm glad you are much more satisfied with the nexus, I too was going to get it but its too big for me, plus for me the camera is a crucial feature on a smartphone. I ended up getting the g4 and waiting for it to be delivered today at my house.

The G4 is supposed to be really nice. I went Nexus because I am always getting pissed off that I can't unlock the phone, or updates take forever, etc... I always regret not getting the Nexus or DE phone...
I got the Turbo without even thinking. I just assumed that it had Lollipop... Got annoyed when I saw that it didn't, and started thinking, do I want to be locked into this phone for the next year or two?
I looked at the G4, the S6 and the Nexus and went with the Nexus, while my fiance went with the S6
Ended up getting the lg g4 since I moved to tmobile
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.
I've the chance to buy probably BNDS / BNIB units at the same cost as say more recent MT6737M/ Snapdragon 435 even MT6795 units with microsd, 64bit support.
I'm tempted by having the snapdragon 801 at a low cost but is it too late now expecially with the lack of 64bit support or does its raw power still relevant?
What would you do?
Moto X was a great device in its era. Even today I still praise it for the most compact device with a 5,2 inch screen. I can operate it easily with one hand. But,in today's standart,it's an outdated device. You got plenty devices with better specs and prices to choose. The most complaint with Moto X in my opinion is the battery life. I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X and comparing both is so pathetic. Battery endurance in Redmi Note 4 is so much better. If Moto X is the device with 4000 mah battery, I think it's still countable. With custom ROM,Moto X is still fast and fluid. I prefer using Moto X daily than my RN4X coz the design fits perfectly in my pocket.

I don't even know how to root it to get sunshine. Kingroot doesnt work and sunshine says the firmware isnt compatible.
Absolutely......................................not. Look I love my X 2014 but it was a flawed device when it came out and that didn't let it age well. The camera and battery were terrible when it came out, now they are down right garbage in comparison to mid rangers. The screen was average when it came out, now it's terrible in comparison. The lack of fingerprint sensor might not seem like a big deal but until you use it, you don't know what your missing. The phone is still smooth but how long until developers move on. The design in my opinion was still one of the best, a classic for sure. It's just not worth it.
Get a Moto G5 Plus or similar, they are under 200 sales.
Battery is too bad nowadays even if performance is alright, if you absolutely must go Moto then get the G5 Plus
Thanks for your feedback , a few questions to keep this going if you dont mind ...

This is disappointing -- 1 factor that makes me consider this is (since i had no real life experience with it) -- that the AMOLED screen and camera would still be competent to comparable models.

OK, if while considering all the above I add the relative context that in my area if available the G5 plus is 200USD, while the Moto X would be 110USD bnew, would that make it more appealing?
I've had mine for 2 years, and still loving it. I bought it in a carrier store for 400 Canadian Dollars. Since I can only buy phones in a store at full retail price, my choices are somewhat limited. I still can't find a "better" phone at $500 CAD. My Moto X 2014 is running the latest Android perfectly with 2GB RAM, and will run Android 8.0 Oreo (custom ROMs). The only consideration is band support, as it may not support the latest and fastest LTE bands used by some carriers nowadays. Also, this phone has NFC, some lower priced new phones may not.
The things I would be looking for in a new phone: longer battery life, latest LTE bands support, and maybe a bigger screen, like 5.5+ inch.
I just got that phone about 3 days ago... It is just amazing..remember.. It was a flagship.. Soft/hdw integratiom are perfect. Even with low battery and 2 gb of ram.. It's more worthy than several mid ranges phone mentioned. Besides, you get plenty of development for at least one more year.. Go for it!
