Would you say that the Moto G4 Plus is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Moto G4 Plus exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not terrible but it does get laggy at times. Even the 4gb ram model.
4gb model lags tooo !!?

when does it lag exactly ?
I have the 16GB / 2GB RAM, runs fine if not running anything aggressive like games.
I have the Moto G4 (non-plus) 32gb / 2gb ram model and can say that it is quick. Comparing to LG V10, S5 and S6, graphic intensive games are noticeably slower, but everyday use such as web browsing, app switching, email, video are all very quick. (no noticeable difference from the V10 or the S6 but fater than the S5 to me). I came from a S4 running Cyanogen that was quick and can say this phone beats the pants off of it. I don't do a any gaming really on my phone, I can say it play pokemon Go just fine however.
Overall Speed
I've got the G4 Plus with 64 Gb and 4 Gb RAM. I do have apps that are very slow in loading or sometimes even responding. I will get the Android dialog box asking me to "wait" or "close" the app. I had tried the classic "reset" and clearing, etc. No help. Definitely MUCH slower than my old HTC One M9. I don't do any games on it.
I came from a nexus 6 64GB (to xt1625), and considering the difference in price I'm quite happy with it's speed as a daily driver. I'm not running any games though.
The Moto G4 Plus, however, seems different compared to previous Moto Gs. It takes a lot of cues from the Moto G3, but also adds into the mix some new bits. Although the faster hardware does make the Moto G4 Plus run hotter compared to the Moto G3. But that is only in particular cases, such as when you are playing games for over half an hour. And in such cases, almost all phones with similar hardware show similar behaviour.
Only lag i've noticed was browsing the ridiculously ad heavy xda forums. Adaware took care of that.
Runs cool, no errors.
Not a game player.
I have the G4 Plus 32gb 2Gb RAM. I woumd say it's OK. For gaming is not very good either, heavy games tend to drop frames very often or straight up lag, in day to day usage it is fast, but it cannot handle a lot of apps open at the same time (I think it's a matter of lack of OS optimization).
Sent from my athene_f using XDA Labs
I own the G4 Plus 2GB model. I would say that performance is decent. It does day-to-day jobs quicly, but not lag-free.
I ran a comparison with the Moto Z Play (SD 625 3GB) a few days ago, and the difference is directly noticable. The X Play runs smooth, the G4 Plus does not. It's not that the G4 Plus stutters all the time, but there is room for improvement.
However, if you take the low price point of the G4 Plus into consideration, it does not disappoint.
Having 3gb/32gb model
Runs perfectly. Multitasking at it's best.
Switching between ongoing Google Maps Navigation, Play Music (or Amazon Music/Spotify) and a Browser is definitely slow and a pain while driving (2GB Model).
Looking forward to switch to OnePlus's next offering this year because I need more power.

Same experience here on Marshmallow. Had it a few months, always fast, never had any lag, slowdowns, force closes, etc. Runs perfect, couldn't ask for better. I did upgrade to N and it wasn't quite as smooth. Went back to Marshmallow and all is perfect again.
Some little lags here and there, but in general really good performance.

Hello all,
I have an upgrade to use with Verizon. Currently on the S5 and can't stand the fact there's no development cause of locked BS Samsung crap. Just wondering if I should get an "older" phone like the N6 or try out the G4 (they tend to get unlocked within a couple months). Want to get away form Touchjizz and Sammy thanks to Verizon. Any comments would be appreciated!
I recently purchased the Nexus 6 on Verizon and I'm extremely happy. I also have an active Note 4 and now never use it. I'm having so much fun flashing ROMs and customizing the device (wood back covers, etc) that being 6 months old doesnt bother me. I'll wait for the next Nexus before upgrading again.
Also, this is the only device that I've purchased from Verizon that came with ZERO bloat. Literally nothing. Even AT&T crapped that up. It doesn't make great use of Verizon's Advanced Calling feature (native video calling) but who cares. VoLTE works.
Obviously get the G4. Nexus devices have subpar battery life

Dude, i have almost never seen a postive comment of you about phones in multiple forums. Why do you always endup with the wrong phones and do you even have a Nexus 6?
That said both devices are awesome but very different. The G4 has a swapable battery, external sd card support up to 2TB, a superb camera wich some find even better then that of the Galaxy S6 and a gorgeous screen. Batterylife will be a bit better than de N6`s but the N6 is a developer phone with many choices of roms, kernels, and mods too choose from. The Nexus 6 has a good screen but in full sunlight sometimes not very clear, the speakers are great, its superfluid with no lags and in daily use a very good phone to use and it kind of grows on you
I recommend the 64GB version as there is no sdcard slot and the battery is not swapable and the speakers are very good imo.
So both have things going for them, best is to play with both in real life in a shop if you can and see wich one feels best for you.
@gee2012, am I lying about the battery life?
Nexus are great besides that and the camera

I never call other users liars bro, i just noticed your name and it reminded me of the negative comments you used to post about the last years N5 i believe. But enough about that, the batttery gets me through the day and have about 4-4,5 hrs. screenontime wich is sufficient for me. Its not Note 4 and certainly not Ascend Mate 7 figures but enough for me It varies depending on settings and usage per user. The camera shoots pretty descent shots with sufficient light and lowlight with HDR+ isn`t bad either for me, but again not Galaxy S6 or even LG G3 quality.

It depends whats important to you. The newest hardware of the lg g4 or the openness of the nexus 6 software. Most devices by today's standards do not lag or show much stuttering when doing basic tasks such as texting, emailing,calling, surfing the internet, etc. It comes down to what you plan on doing with the phone. Will gaming be an option? Are you looking for a top of the line Camera? Once you figure that out, the choice becomes clear.

I think that lag is actually a very underrated issue with devices today. The G3 definitely lagged, and my S5 lagged horribly. Even the Note 4 isn't completely lag-free. However it does seem that reviewers haven't noticed any stutter in the G4, which is a good sign.
OP, one other thing to be aware of is that while the CPU in the 808 found in the G4 edges out the 805 found in the Nexus 6 the GPU in the 808 is significantly weaker than that of the 805. Otherwise I'm sure the G4 will be a great device. The camera will certainly be better than the N6's, and battery life should be comparable.

Can you link any websites showing the adreno 418 being worse than the 420? I did some fast googling and although there's not a lot of info it seems the 418 is as powerful as the 420 if not slightly more edging it out and is also made on a smaller die 20nm vs 28nm.

Thanks everyone for your input! I would be using the camera more than gaming. Only gaming I do is the occasional w/e game while I'm taking care of business lol. Nexus was thrown in here because of all the development it has right now. I might be leaning towards the G4 just with all the extras it has and the phenomenal camera and it will still be faster than my S5. I own it, and yeah it does have some lag still. Can't stand Touchwhiz anymore and the lack of development thanks to their boost in security. Not sure why the last several Nexuses weren't removable batteries. Just an OCD thing on my part as well as external storage.
Yes Samsung phones have become harder to ROM, root, etc, unless you Go for T-Mobile/international and even then its not great.
If you plan on using the camera often, take it from a Nexus 6, Note 4 user - check out the G4.
That's my suggestion, good luck in your decision

Hi
I have the HTC desire X and its grid on life is slowly fading my friend got the htc desire 510 and when he moves the screen the picture gos like a negative so that put me off that one but i have seen the moto g 2nd gen duel sim i hear loads of bad things and loads of good but though go direct to the people who know the people who use them any advice if the phone is worth it or another option
thanks
It's definitely not a flagship, but it's worth it. For ~180$ you get a phone with 1,2 GHz quad core CPU, 1gb of RAM, a 720p display and Android 5.0.2 (soon 5.1.1/Android M). It depends on what you want. If you want a phone especially for gaming (high graphics games like modern combat) then this phone is not for you. If you just want a smoothly running phone that does his job well and some middle- to low graphics games (like Geometry Dash, Angry birds, need for speed) are playable (without lags), this phone is definitely worth taking a look at.

You should consider something else as well. This is an exceptional phone for its price, but it has 1 GB of ram only, which is a pity.
Maybe wait for Moto G 2015, which may be more optimised at the same price.

Battery life of the Moto G 2014 is absoloutely ok so far,not outstanding but it brings you over the day,other phones can do not much more.You can extend the battery life by installing a custom rom/kernel or doing some tweaks.
It works even good on lollipop. I´m really satisfied with it just when it comes to multitasking you realise that 1 GB RAM is not enough and you have to live with reloading apps etc.
No problem listening music and surfing the internet but you can´t hande 4 or 5 apps at the same time. But for the price you don´t get anything better, that´s for sure.
btw,the Moto G 2015 should come out in august/september but as far as I have heard the stats have not changed greatly and RAM would be 1 GB again when leaked infos are true.
i decided after my phone crashed in the middle of a phone call to just go for it this one has less than a gig ram and seems to be happy with what i use it for so anything will be an improvement
Would you say that the HTC 10 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the HTC 10 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Have you used it as the apps and their data build up? Is the camera still snappy, do the apps still launch quickly?
Just slightly faster than my old LG G3 which I still use at home to save the unremovable battery
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
So much better than my old AT&T Galaxy Note Edge. Runs cooler also, can actually record in 4K without overheating.
It is faster than my 2014 Moto X with a Snapdragon 801 and 2GB of RAM.
However there are little things that are actually faster in my old Moto X:
- The recent apps list takes a while to show in the HTC 10 I have no idea why. Even disabling animations it still takes longer than on my 2yo phone
- The voice recognition sometimes takes longer on the HTC 10!
But overrall it is faster
It is a little more speed than my HTC One A9
Nice article!! Thanks for sharing with us
sometimes the notification was too full will lead phone a little bit lag ,hope on android n will improve
Much much faster than my old Droid Turbo 2
It is the fastest one and it will remain the fastest until the new HTC Nexus gets released
It was pretty fast on stock, but after rooting, debloating, its very very fast, awesome in fact
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Way faster then my g4
The HTC 10 is the faster phone I ever had. It is much faster than my Nexus 6P and has zero lag. I absolutely love it.
just coming from galaxy s6 with a custom rom (like now with leedroid rom), I think the Galaxy s6 is more speedy device for everyday use
I'm coming from a Nexus 6P rooted which was blazing quick however this phone as with the M7 and M9 (skipped the M8) and i have to say that the HTC with the newer version of sense (M7 onwards) certainly holds it's own, even at stock it's fast, couple that with a decent custom rom and optimize it, they're probably the most responsive phones i've ever used.
I really haven't had any performance issues to speak of whatsoever with these devices.
The only time you'll see a slow down is when you open the application manager and attempt to scroll down before it's actually loaded, which is the same on most android devices.
I have my gripes with HTC, mainly the battery and glare on photo's, or the paint on the gun metal one (my one, chips easily) some of the software could be better, like the camera and other stock apps, but overall i think they're moving more in the right direction than any other label.
Samsung seem to think that touchwiz is superb, it's got better but jesus it's a crippling launcher and the whole eco system following it.
I've moved away from HTC too many times, i'll be sticking with them from now on.
I'll bet that the new Nexus is by far and away the quickest device there has been up until now, bare in mind that the last time HTC did a nexus device it was a masterpiece.
Long live HTC (with better batteries
The HTC One series was always fast and for some reason my original HTC M7 was twice as fast as my Samsung Note 2 when it came to LTE signal. I was on AT&T at the time but I like T-Mobiles unlimited everything plan with 7gigs of tethering a month. When T-Mobile advertised that they doubled their LTE coverage and made it faster, I can't argue at all. My HTC 10 has only showed the "4G" icon once since launch day. Combine blazing fast signal with Sense (or Nova Prime) with a Sense toggle and slow never enters the discussion!
Blazing fast and smooth
Anyone coming directly from the HTC one m8? How do they compare in terms of speed and smoothness?

I still have my M8 along with my current 10. Both are S-Off, rooted, etc and running their respective version of ViperRom. 10 is a lot faster...though I do miss my IR blaster...lol...which is a main reason I keep it (I'll also use it as my GPS/music device in my car mount hotspotted to my 10.
Faster not only in look and feel but in benchmarks...and although its an outdated benchmark...quadrant scores on my M8 are always in the 28-32000 range. 10 is always in the 43-46,000 range. I find that simple benchmark usually correlates to how I feel my phone is running at the time.
Interesting note though....Xposed KILLS my 10's performance (quadrant scores drop to anywhere between 18,000 when "sluggish" to only 30,000 when it seems to be running okay but slower than without it). to where I had to uninstall it. It has no effect on my M8 in performance.

So in everyday real world use you notice the speed difference? I ask this because the M8 on Marshmallow is so smooth already, I don't get how it can get even faster.
I'm thinking to buy this phone but really confused ....can anyone write a small review of it and how is the development community
Typing this answer from my ZUK Z1 that I have been using since the last 3 months. Before using this phone, I used the MI3 for little over one year after which the motherboard got faulty and it would have costed a bomb to replace it, so thought of buying a new phone instead. I reviewed a lot of phones for one month before zeroing in on the Z1. He is a small review of the device.
Build*- The build quality of the phone is great. I am using the space grey model which has a matte finish at the back. The back has a subtle curve which helps to have a firm grip on the phone. However, I feel you'd still need a back cover as the phone is slim and could slip off from your hand easily.
Chipset*- Coming to the chipset, the Z1 uses a nearly 2.5 yrs old Snapdragon 801 which was a major factor for me choosing this device. I had used the 800 with my MI3 and the performance was phenomenal. Not even once in my year long heavy usage have I faced a single instance of lag or stutter and no matter what I threw at it, it simply knocked it out of the park. So I was looking for a phone that would have the 800 or a similar processor. The 801 is a flagship 32 bit chipset but can chew up any new low end 64 bit chipset like the 410 or 615 easily. The performance on the Z1 is overall smooth with occasional stutters. I still think the 800 was slightly better in terms of performance but there are many things to consider here, so I'd rank the 801 along the same lines as 800. In fact, the 801 excels in some areas which I will get to shortly. So performance wise, Z1 is top notch.
UI*- The Z1 runs on Cyanogen 12 based on Android 5.1 (lollipop). The OS is highly customizable and gives you a stock android experience. There is no bloatware on the OS. The COS 13 was supposed to be released for ZUK Z1 but it hasn't been released yet (not sure if it ever will be). However the CyanogenMod 13 based on Android 6 is available for the Z1.
Display*- The Z1 has a 5.5 inch full HD IPS LCD panel. Even though it's not as sharp and vivid as an AMOLED screen, but it is quite good. The colors are vibrant and the viewing angles are also good.
RAM and Storage*- The Z1 comes with 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB internal of which around 58 GB is available to the user. OTG is supported.
Camera*- 13 MP rear and 8 MP front shooters. It has Optical Image Stabilization and the images come out to be pretty good in outdoors and even under artificial lightning.
Heating*- Heating is a big concern for smartphone users these days. Surprisingly, the Z1 has minimal heating when compared to its peers, like the Moto G4 plus, which can heat upto 46C and above with extensive usage (20-30 mins). However, with the Z1, even with over an hour of gaming, I haven't noticed any significant heating issues. The MI3 used to heat more than the Z1 and this is where I think the 801 wins over the 800. Also with calls of over 20 mins, I haven't noticed any heating at all. However, be forewarned that many users have reported abnormal heating with their Z1 devices, so I guess that I just got lucky here.
Gaming*- Played Mortal Kombat X and Dead Trigger 2 and faced little to no lag at all. With MK X, I faced very little stutter at times, but most people won't even notice it. Overall, gaming is very smooth on the Z1. Even heavy games like Asphalt 8 and Nova 3 will run smooth.
Call Quality*- Very good. Haven't faced any issues with call quality, however the reception over 4G in my area is not so strong.
Battery*- 4100 mAh battery, which would easily last for 1.5 to even 2 days with moderate usage. Charging time takes around 2 hrs.
Some things that the Z1 lacks:
1. NFC
2. IR blaster.
3. Box doesn't come with earphones.
4. Front flash
Overall, I feel that the Z1 is a good device that you can buy within a budget of 15K rupees.

How does the development scenario feel like to you? There aren't a lot of ROMs currently. What's the possibility of this getting Nougat (via CM14)?
Also, what would you recommend? This or the SD 650 powered Redmi Note 3?
Hello everyone, big sony fan since the Z1 here.
Currently I own an an LG G7, that broke for a 2nd time, and got replaced.
I plan on selling the G7 they give me(since its on a sealed box) and getting another phone.
Since I've been a big fan of sony phones, I was considering getting the XZ2, but I was wondering its overall gaming performance.
I had an XZ1, that used to be a beast at gaming, I dont know if its because the specific phone I had was unique(aka silicon lottery), or it was the SD835 but its gaming performance was amazing.
The Lg G7 used to lag all over the place, even on low settings, on pubg, fortnite etc.
How is the XZ2? Can it run fortnite? Pubg? and if it does how well?
Thanks,
I've tested PUBG and it was so smooth and responsive but deleted shortly after it wasn't my cup of tea, but yeah performance was great. I mostly play Aphalt 9 which has amazing graphics, no lag it is also super smooth and the phone doesn't get hot, in 10 minutes it gets warm but thats it then it keeps that temperature for my testing. Phone is also pretty fast and snappy other than gaming, I sometimes randomly scroll through its menu because it is so smooth and responsive makes it kinda satisfying.
It have all the performance that the SD845 can give , PUBG runs good in HDR Graphics at 60fps with no stuttering at all, I even can play Need for Speed Carbon or Luigi's Mansion on dolphin emulator at more than 40fps!
It performs as SD845 performs, only difference is how long it takes to start throttling... is it 10,20 or 30 min...

Notice that the phone performance starts to throttle once the phone gets hot.
Pretty annoying at times. How i wish there is an additional accessory which we can attached to the phone to dissipate heat during intense gaming.
