I had a simple question...
Is our Moto E so bad that the phones like the Android Ones, or the Xiaomi Redmi or the Zenphones are taking over it....
I mean, Motorola is a Tier 1 brand, and our cute little Moto E has a superb build quality, but still it is at the bottom list...
Why?

why should it bother you. Don't compare your phone with any other phone. Does Xiaomi or Asus or anyother brand sells more phone has any thing to do with Moto E.
If your phone fulfill your needs then there is no need for feeling bad or sad.

Well the specs are all kinda similar.
I don't find anything great about LG L90, compared to these two it dosen't even have an HD screen.
Xiaomi makes some great devices, and i like MIUI they are shipping with. Also i think Xiaomi has a better front and rear cameras.
Moto G has a solid dev support. The 4G version got an official CM11. Not so sure about Xiaomi.
Did you consider Nexus 4 ?
Moto G is defintely the best of all. My brother got it and it's a great phone also as said by nightwalkerkg it has a solid dev support (3G variant) that you will be able to have a lot of future android updates.
xpirt
I did find Nexus 4 at around the same price like Moto G so most probably i'll go with that.Aside for a slitghtly better screen and battery nexus 4 wins it.
But for the most part yes:Moto G or Nexus 4 cuz they will have a long like on xda.

I'd go with the nexus 4. But the choice is yours.
Hi, I'm about to buy a new phone, to be around $ 300 and the Grand 2 is an option, do you recommend this model? Having trouble?
MotoG 2014 will be better ?
Thank you very much ..

If I were you, I'll go with the Moto G 2014. It'll get the latest update faster from Google *cough* Android L *cough* lol. And I'm pretty sure it will have more devs support. I'm using a Grand 2 myself, though should've waited a bit longer for the Moto G 2014, but I'm still happy with the Grand 2. Anyway that's my opinion, it's your pick. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with any of the two devices
As a Grand 2 user... I'm having hard time in gaming and multitasking for long periods of time... Also heating issues make me sick more than a nausea!
I'll get Grand 2.
Moto G 2014 wins:
Faster official android operating system updates
Galaxy Grand 2 wins:
In my opinion, almost everything else.
Grand 2 would be a better choice over Moto G.
Hi Guys, Please help me choose on these two monsters. Price not an issue all i care about is (Screen - Sound - Roms ).
Thanks
Battery life is better on mido since being 4100mah vs 3500 something!

Screen, Sound will be better on Moto Z Play. Especially sound which is pretty mediocre on RN4. Also the AMOLED display is superb on Moto Z Play.
As for Roms RN4 is better choice, it's much more active community and with kernel sources released lately it will only get better. Also RN4 has much better battery.
If price doesn't matter definitely get Moto Z Play. :good:

You might improve it slightly with roms and mods but not that much.
Also Moto Z Play has clean android without any stupid vendor UI's which alot of people might like..
Without bias (as redmi note 4 owner) Moto Z Play is much better device honestly. (but it also costs more obviously )

What about Z play vs Lenovo P2 ? Which one better for Roms and long support from Developers ?
In store near my home there is P2 with 310$ - Z play 338$ - RN4 265$
Im in confuse between all the three
"Moto" brand is owned by Lenovo, so about the same.
Personally from the 3 phones you mentioned i would buy Moto Z Play.

The Moto Z Play. It costs a lot more for a reason.
The only thing the RN4 has better is longer battery life.
Lenovo p2 is good
Hi guys, I am planning to get Moto Z and price is 200$ about. Do you think it is worth getting it now? I don't want to spend much money since it's a secondary device for me.
Also, I noticed it has many variants. Which variant is good for custom ROM, Unlock BL and Root support?
So far, I came across XT1650-05, XT1650-01, XT1650-03 etc

It`s the same phone. Difference is the software update channel. 05 - China, 03 - EU and USA. Maybe some little changes in frequency, but HW the same.
Just try some google, man.
Also moto z in 2018? In the end of its lifecycle? Meh.

Same camera as that Nexus 6 of yours there.
New or used? If it's used you might wanna get a battery replacement for it, the Nougat 7.0 update kinda overstressed the battery
I'd get the G5+ or G5S, TBH (better battery life with Snapdragon 625)

Thanks mate,
I just sold my Nexus 6 and looking for a replacement as a secondary device. I came across Moto Z, LGV20, HTC 10, Honor 8, Nexus 6P. I do not want to spend more than 200-230$ and I merely keep my secondary device for 6-9 months.
I am getting a good deal if I get XT1650-01 and I believe it is verizon model but what I came to know is that it cannot unlock BL and root. I usually customize my phones.

It's brand new if I get Verizon variant. I am not into photography that much. I am looking for a better Snapdragon processor with the good amount of RAM so that it still holds resell value in the future. If I opt for a mid-range device like Xiaomi or Huawei I am getting a good deal in 200$ but then it would not hold much resell values after 6-9 months.
PS. I see that you Malaysian too

Hi XDA guys!
Everybody knows that Mi series goal is to be better than Redmi at least in specs and performance.
But how about performance to price ratio, how about all other things that You dont worry and dont expect in REDMI casue it's cheap but You do expect it in the MI series?
What are the problems/things that You don't like in MI series?
What are the problems/things that You don't like in REDMI series if there is any? WHY? Cause we all know not to expect wonders for a low budget priced phones.
I've talked to many people who had/have REDMI and MI series Xiaomi phones (clients, selllers, internet folks, friends) and they only agree on ONE thing -the price is great wheter it is REMI or MI phone.
A strange thing happens.... REDMI owners are always satisfied. The only thing that bothers not all of them is the camera quality.
But in low and middle price segment REDMI beats EVERY other BRAND.
Xiaomi has also great prices in the high end flagship models but here MANY PEOPLE are dissapointed.
For example camera quality, screen quiality, body, bezel, bugs, no NFC, no european B20 LTE band.
The MI users also tell me that non of the above bothers them but something totaly different. EACH person = an original problem with MI device.
Can You please tell me what are Your problems/dislikes with MI and REDMI devices cause I'm about to buy one from each segment?
What should I worry about (Android updates maybe?) buying a REDMI and a MI phone IN YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIANCE?
Don't get me wrong. I never had a MI phone but in shops they perform GREAT so I wonder what's the fuss is about?

Welcome to Xiaomi Redmi series, aka the flagship killer.
The phones have the same parts as the flagships the only difference is that Xiaomi doesn't waste their money on advertising and doesn't steal huge profits from the customers so you get a better price.
Enjoy your new Xiaomi phone and welcome to the future.
