Install 1080p screen from Moto X 2014?

Since the biggest battery drain seems to be the QHD screen, I've been wondering if I can buy a 1080P and swap it in.
The most likely donor would be a Moto X 2014, since they use the same AMOLED 5.2" display.
Potential issues:
-video connector: I have not seen teardown videos. Can anyone help me determine if the display ribbon cables/pinouts are the same?
-display/housing: Moto LCDs are tough to separate from digitizers... This may require a new Droid Turbo housing/digitizer, plus a new Moto X 2014 LCD screen)
-android resolution: Does Android auto detect resolution? If not, we might need an unlocked/rooted device to change this in Android.
-capacitive buttons: I think this is built into the software on the Droid Turbo, so they should continue to work without duplicate (onscreen) controls
Cost: could be minimal by reselling my mint condition QHD LCD/digitizer/front housing.

I think would be easier to look for an app or a way to change the screen resolution instead of changing the whole screen. Many users use the LG G3 with 1080p and get good results with battery (not big increase). One backdraw is that it maybe requiere root, that is currently unavailable as far as I know.

[Q] Xperia Z3 Compact or Moto/Droid Turbo

I am looking to buy a new phone. Have been using an Xperia SP since the day it was launched. Though completely over my budget, I have taken a shine to the Xperia Z3 Compact and the Moto Turbo. I have always valued a small form factor for one handed usage, water proofing, which the Z3 compact provides, and a stellar battery life, which both phones provide. But since learning about the Moto Turbo, I have fallen for it too. It's big, but I think I'll manage. Need help deciding between these two. I haven't been able to find any direct comparisons, obviously since the Moto Turbo is still pretty new. Which has a better camera? Which has better Sound Quality (for earphones)? Which has better durability (Z3 Compact has IP68, but the Moto Turbo is also supposed to have a water repelling coating on it's innards)? Any other factors I should be considering?

Thanks war1. Gsmarena was my first stop. I know the spec to spec comparison, but I was looking for more qualitative/subjective reviews and suggestions

z3c is definitly the more durable phone here, yet the turbo has way more juice.
These are actually two very different phones. While each has its downsides and upsides. If you don't mind the size I do think the Moto turbo is better.
You should look for youtube reviews on that matter. Thats at least how I chose my phone.

What is more important for you?
I was between Z3C and Moto Maxx too but, since I was coming from a Note 2 and was looking for a smaller phone, it wouldnt make sense to get a Moto Maxx.
But, camera is a really importante thing to me and Im not very happy with Z3C´s cameras performance, actually, I´m pretty disappointed.
But what I prefer on Moto Maxx over the Z3C are: camera (until Sony improves its camera image processing software), almost stock OS, screen (the screen is beautiful).
Why I bought the Z3C: size and price.

Should I Buy X Play or Moto X 2014: Same Price for Me??

I am stuck between Moto X Play and Moto X 2014... Can someone differentiate them on basis of Processor and what effect it has on phone,,
I have seen benchmarks of 615 to be quite close of 801, i know 615 overheats in other phones but is it as bad as non underclocked 810 heat
I Need Battery To Last Me atleast a day Without much problems (Not very heaviest of the users) and a Good Camera
Not much gaming fan although I do some occasionally (even high end games sometimes)
Both of Them are available at near Same price Here.. So anyone with experience of both can help me out??

No problem with any of the phones, none overheats, have used both of them.
Both are great phones, but:
Moto X PLAY: Much bigger battery, will last atleast a day for the heaviest of users, and some more. Better camera. Stuttery performance. SD Expansion slot. Dual Sim.
Moto X 2ND Gen: Smaller battery, will definitely last a day if you are a moderate user, but you will need to charge it every night. Fluid performance, much smoother than Play. MUCH better display. Much better to hold (Metal, and thinner). Better audio performance. Better microphones. Fast charging. 4K video Recording.
Make no mistake. The Snapdragon 801 is high end chip while the 615 is mid end and it shows. But the Play has a better camera (no 4K video though) and is generally more expandable. But the Moto X 2nd Gen seems much more capable. If you are not the heaviest of users, it will last you a day. I come home at 9:00 PM and am a moderate user with some texting, navigation and mid end games, music. I typically have over 20% battery left. I just carry a fast charger with me just in case. But till date I haven't used it except if I'm travelling and need to charge real quick at the airport. Moto X 2nd Gen also possesses better cellular quality (in my opinion). Screen-ON time of 3.5-4 hours for Moto X2, and around 6 hours for X Play.

So, I used both on a local retail store (The X Play being a bit more expensive) and here are my conclusions (I bought the X2014 a week ago):
1) The Snapdragon 801 + Adreno 330 performs considerably better than the Snapdragon 615 + Adreno 405.
While using the phone for regular stuff, like web browsing, whatsapp, instagram, etc. there were micro lags on the X Play that were almost non-existent on the X 2014. I tried to push both the hardest I could and the X Play had much more hiccups (Like fast scrolling facebook, fast pinching to zoom on chrome, quick switching between tabs on snapchat, quickly switching between apps), I guess it's due to the lower clocked A53 cluster being active more often to preserve battery. Nonetheless, both performed very well considering the price tag.
When benchmarking, the X 2014 Won on both graphics and cpu. My X 2014 always goes from 2900-3100 on Geekbench 3, while the X Play started at 2500 and went all the way down to 1700 (I guess it's due to overheating). Antutu it's the same, the X 2014 sticks between 47K and 49K, while the X Play went from 36K to 27K (Again, I think it's overheating). Bear in mind that I re-did each benchmark 5 times and I live in a hot country, which regularly sticks between 30ºC.
While gaming, same thing happens. I'm a heavy Clash of Clans, Candy Crush and Asphalt 8 player. On Clash of Clans there were no difference at all, both performed admirably and there were no hiccups at all. Candy Crush both lagged a bit on the pop-ups and when sync. with facebook, but during the gameplay I saw no hiccups on both. But when playing Asphalt, after like 30mins I saw the play getting a frame drop, but nothing that made the game unplayable, just a bit less smooth.
On the heat side, the X 2014 got warm after 30Min on Asphalt 8 while the Play was a bit hotter, but nothing that you can't lay your hands on. Acceptable.
2) The battery is where the X Play wins. I couldn't test it much becase I was on the retail store, but seeing their XDA Topics, the X Play can achieve easily 2 days of battery, even with the overheat issues. My X 2014 does around 5 hours SOT when on good coverage and WiFi (24Hrs off the charger), and gets maximum 4Hrs SOT (usually 3h30) when on 4G with mixed coverage (24Hrs off the charger). My X 2014 came with the Turbo Charger, so I can quickly replenish battery any time I need, and due to the smaller battery, Power Banks are more efficient (I have the Mi Power Bank 10400mAh and I can charge the X 2014 around 3,5 times until it gives up, the X Play I suppose that it would charge less than 2 times).
But still, X Play is the clear winner.
3) Build quality depends of who is holding these phones. I particulary found the X 2014 way prettier than the X Play, and the overall build quality also better (loose buttons on the X Play are a bit annoying). The X Play is a tad bit heavier and bulkier, the X 2014 feels a bit more polished and premium. The front fiering speaker is mono on both phones, and I found them to be quite similar. The X 2014 wins, for me.
4) Camera on the X Play is considerably better. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy with my X 2014 camera. When on good light conditions I can take pretty damn good shots, but I mostly use the camera for Snapchat, Instagram, Whatsapp, and for college, so I don't need the best of the best camera around. The X 2014, with the SD801, is capable of [email protected] and 4K while the X Play only records up to [email protected] Recording on 1080p 60fps is not supported on the stock camera app but it's possible. The main downside of the X 2014 camera, I could see, is when trying to get macro shots.. the camera struggles a lot when trying to focus on near objects. I don't have 4K screens to use the X 2014 feature, so for me, the X Play wins.
The 5MP Front Camera on the X Play also outperforms the 2MP on the X 2014.
5) The screen also depends on your taste. I found the 5.5" a bit big for my taste, 5.2" being exactly what I needed for one handed use. The X 2014 has much deeper colors, more contrast but the screen temperature is a bit high, the whites look yellowish, but I got used to it. The X Play has a bit more washed out colors, due to the LCD panel, but it's more color accurate. So, it depends on the taste. My main fear when buying the X 2014 was the infamous screen burn-in, but my display is fine until now. No winner here, it depends on your taste.
6) One downside of the X 2014 is the lack of microsd expansion. For me, 32GB is more than enough.. I still have 18GB free out of 25GB, with all my music, photos, backups, documents, apps, games... But having a microsd is great for emergencies and stuff, so the X Play wins for storage options.
In the end it's up to you.. I went with the X 2014, but the X Play is also a nice phone. Also, bear in mind that the X Play should get the next version of Android ( after Marshmallow ), while the X 2014 should stay at 6.X Marshmallow if Motorola keeps their updating cycle time.
Cheers and good luck with your next phone!

I would choose Moto X 2014 if you don't care about:
-Battery life.
-Software updates.

I went for the OnePlus One, but why?
Here's why...
Battery Life -------
OPO Wins here, OPO - 3100 mAh battery,
While the MX2 -2300 mAh battery :/
Warranty after unlock -------
OPO - Yes, MX2 - Nope :/

I had the exact same question one week ago. Went with the Moto X 2014, and I am loving it.

moto x 2014 slow after change of screen

I would like help, because I changed the screen of my bike x for a parallel because it did not find an original, and now it is super slow, someone knows to explain what happened?

help
someone knows, explain why the phone was slow after the change of the screen, note the screen is not original, as a sign of poor image quality.

About the notch of Moto G7+

Hi,
I ask you: What you prefer, the notch of the Moto G7 Plus or the G7 Play?
Personally, I feel the G7+ is very ugly!

I got the plus version and I gotta say... At first it seems odd, a weird notch at the top, but you get used to it...

The G7 Plus is awesome! The notch actually looks nice in my eyes...

I really love my G7 Plus, it's fast, i got really, really good battery life, it has a big nice screen. I come from LG G6 and my moto g7 plus is better in every regards. Sure I would like a smaller notch but every other aspect of the phone is so damn nice so I dont really mind.

The G7 plus is one of the bests phones that I've had

Nacho Notch and notch doesn't exist.
Also I think that G7+ is one of the most complete phone right now.
Real DualSim (2x sim + 1x microSD)
NFC
Stereo
Jack
TurboPower
USB-C
Stock Android
Moto Actions (specially flash and photo...very like it)
Wish I had wireless charging and better cpu but for that price point is the most complete phone right now.
