i am also a hater for mmx,lava etc

i also like moto g very much but don't worry mmx and lava , karbonn aren't going anywhere infact moto g is going to take a big beating from these chinese players ...

snapdragon is always 1 step behind mediatek when it comes to mid range

by the time moto g launches in january chinese phones will have launch phones with these specs for around 18-19k

1.7 ghz x 8 core cortex a7 ( mediatek 6592 )
mali 450 mp 4 gpu at 700 mhz ( 70 % faster than Adreno 305 )
2 gb ram
5-6 inches
1080p
14 mp cam

antutu - 27000

and there will be cheaper quad core for 12-13k

1.7 ghz quad core cortex a7 ( mediatek 6582)
mali 450 mp4 at 600 mhz (40-50 % faster than adreno 305 )
2 gb RAm
5 inch
720p or 1080p
8mp cams

antutu- 21000


so you see even though moto g is a good device in mnc but it will hardly challenge chinese players.. it will be much sweeter if sony can come up with another mediatek soc 6588 or 6592 like xperia c
I hate these re-branded cellphones so much...:x:
If there's a device backed by google , I won't give a sh1te about anything else which may pretend to give better experience , or say boast of.
The development team , will eventually come up with several custom roms and kernels that will utilize the capacity of this device , beyond what other chinese competitiors will offer , and with more stable performance.( not for an average layman.)
It's more about having a more stable and functional device rather than having a monstrous set of hardware under the hood but having poor performance in real-life scenarios , with occasional crashes and failures.

There's still a reason why people buy devices from well established brands , like Sony , HTC and Moto. However the figures in India are more biased towards these chinese players because majority of people who buy smartphones in India don't care much about Brand name or ASS , all they want is a huge screen ( no matter even if leads to change of your wardrobe. ) and earf**ing loudspeakers. :x:

For those who don't game much, its a great great buy :)

(Assuming they provide equally great after sales support)

:) , the main issue.
But my concern is people buying 15-20k phones from the likes of Karbonn and others. Buying a 15k-20k re-branded phone is justified ? Maybe , may not be.

that is why we have such words in our dictionary like "fool" ,"bullshit" for those people exclusively :p

yeah i too share the same feeling in respect of these cheap chinese phones .. but then i give them the credit for forcing big brands to give good specs in low end if it wasn't for these chinese phones then samsung still would be selling 3.5 inch 1 ghz single or dual cortex a5 512 mb ram for 12-15k ...

finally they launched a half decent phone for 10k - galaxy s duos 2

yup moto g is already going to have a huge development team maybe the best of this year barring high end phones..

again how many people would understand this point ? 0.01 % maybe

I've seen 5 cases where the microusb-cum-charging port of the rebranded chinese phones went kaput within 10 months and the phones had sparks when removing/inserting battery.

I agree. These blooded local device re-branders are actually giving neck to neck competition to the high-end brands , in the low to mid end market segment.That's good in one way , but eventually the quality of hardware used will also come down , resulting in poor quality devices even for those who are willing to pay.
TBH , this policy of re-branders will benefit the entry level consumers , but will impact the ones in mid-end market segment.

Nothing less than scary , instabilty is not even close enough to describe it. I would rather prefer a feature phone rather than having a block of brick that can hurt me anytime.

Re: Motorola Moto G is official with a 4.5" 720p display

And that too may be with 4.4.
No It will be launching with KitKat only 100% Pure Vannila android (+ 2 moto USEFULL bloatware)
Isn't MG is bulky ?
Yes it is...
I think it is made for those who dont care about carrying extra 20-30grams in pocket, but do care about performence... like me :p
After looking at grand 2, every phone looks lighter to me :lol:

Guys what about discussion thread in mobile section? should I start one?
"It's more about having a more stable and functional device rather than having a monstrous set of hardware under the hood but having poor performance in real-life scenarios , with occasional crashes and failures."
agreed completely...
Optimization of Hardware and Software too matters...
Moto G is the simple example of it, The hardware isnt much top-end but see the performence.

Micromax canves 4 with proper optimized firmware can compete with top end phones, but neither MMX is intrested nor devs want work on it... then its better to avoid this.

There is a saying: Don't count the chickens before the eggs hatch.
I honestly think we are pinning too much hope on Moto G, specifically on its price. All depends on how Moto is going to price it in India: sub 14 for single sim and sub 16 for dual will be ideal. I hope they manufacture locally (at their Chennai plant) to cut on taxes and bring down the cost.

^^but in India formula of success
Pricing >Spec. on the paper (not Performance)> after sales ser.:-D
But Moto G looks performer in actual world which is really great thing for sure. and if priced correctly then A.S.S of Motorola is surely better then Cheap Indian Companies:mrgreen:

Can now import Moto G via iBhejo:

Which could mean our hopes are good that rates would be further less when Motorola brings G to India :)

Cortex A7 beats Qualcomm's Krait !!! Breaking the laws of processor.

no law has been broken here..
first they are on different android versions 4.3 vs 4.2 .. android 4.3 brought in huge increase in benchmark scores in all devices compared to android 4.2 .. after 4.3 antutu score for nexus 4 was 21k

second nexus 4 had serious issues with thermal throttling often limiting cpu and gpu in high performance tasks

third every manufacturer out their sammy,sony,lg,moto optimizes their software by using tricks and tweaks for benchmarks to get artificial higher scores to beat the competition but as you know nexus 4 does not need to use these tricks to sell , so it doesn't that's why you will not see high benchmarks .. to prove the point

check benchmarks of xperia zr or zl .. they both have the same amount of ram and the same chipset as nexus 4 and see in some benchmarks how big the difference is ..

Linpack - Nexus 4 - 237 , xperia zr - 627
qadrant - nexus 4 - 4567 xperia zr - 8073
benchmark pi ( lower is better ) - Nexus 4 - 431 Xperia r - 264

Sony Xperia ZR review: Ready to dare - GSMArena.com

cortex A7 doesn't even come close to krait cores but sure they beat the cortex A9 cores
