Peak Oil is real!
Why does this phone have the same Snapdragon 400 processor as last year's model? And a downgrade on the screen with lower PPI? Same RAM as last year?
i don't understand why did motorola did not go for snapdragon 410 .. samsung is bringing a snapdragon 410 with 512 mb ram , Htc has announced desire 510 with Snapdragon 410 .. then why didn't they include sd 410 .. it would have brought 4g LTE to Moto G along with performance benefits of cortex A53 and arm v8..
they only improved upon the weakness of old moto G..

This makes no sense to me....What Motorola is thinking and who are their target customer remains a mystery...
Mi3 is already there to kick Moto G2 plus HTC Desire 510 will be launching with Snapdragon 410 with LTE and if they get it priced correct the Moto G2 won't see those days what its predecessor has been through...

And believe me that speaker grill at the bottom looks cheap....

That was my first impression too. While it's good to have speakers in front, doing so with elegance is required. (Eg, just looking at HTC One's look in this regard, blows me off.)
I think Motorola is under the impression that they can cash on the reputation built on Moto G. They may be highly wrong.
I hope when the phone really launches it seize to surprise, and the pics leaked only proves fake.

When i clicked this thread i was filled with excitement, but in a few seconds it turned to disappointment. (like when you click a boob pic and you realise its a pic of a guy folding his chin to look like a cleavage)Doesnt Motorola/Lenovo realize that Xiomi is wrecking their sales in China and prolly every where it has made its presence felt?
i think the specs are right because the reported specs are in line with the benchmark that was posted before.. here it is
Motorola XT1063 performance in GFXBench – unified graphics benchmark based on DXBenchmark (DirectX) and GLBenchmark (OpenGL ES)
i have never heard of a case where gfxbench was wrong about specs in case of GPU .. had it been 410 it would have shown Adreno 306 instead of Adreno 305
regarding adreno 306 being new , it already recognizes Adreno 306 as this is a benchmark of SD 410
Samsung SM-G5308W performance in GFXBench – unified graphics benchmark based on DXBenchmark (DirectX) and GLBenchmark (OpenGL ES)
even i feel that those front speakers look cheap instead they could have either trimmed down the bezels or could have given capacitive buttons
they are even bringing this design to moto X +1 i think
[MENTION=1376]mikael_schiffer[/MENTION] lol awesome analogy
whats more the rumors are pointing out that it will be priced higher than the original .. .. as Mi3 has been discontinued i think moto g2 might actually be able to grab sales that is until Mi4 launches here

Not to forget Touchless controls and active notification. That's what I like about moto. They make phones that really helps to get things done... Not just a piece of sh!t with rocking benchmarks that people need around month, just to learn UI. (cough cough)
At this point we should not expect just more and more raw performance... What is the point in that?
Coming to leaked benchmarks.... You can fake them with little knowledge of build.prop editing and some other stuffs. Period.
Possibly Motorola did it
Just to create hype.

After reading some reviews about redmi 1s performance(which is not up to the mark, but well it's VFM) .. I would preffer waiting for this moto g2 and getting Pure Android L later

Motorola is planning to launch 7-9 mobiles this year, this may very well be G+1. G2 (Snapdragon 410) may get launched later.
i doubt that there are 2 phones ... simple reason, 1 will cannibalize the sales of other.. new phone launch for such a small period ?
there is still a chance that this one might have SD 410 instead of the reported SD 400 atleast i am hoping for that..
anyways looks like price would be around 12-14k .. another weird thing is flipkart is importing old Moto G as well... didn't they say they were selling the last stock
these are the rumored 7 -8 devices that moto is launching this year
DROID
DROID Maxx
DROID Turbo
Moto G 2
Moto S/shamu
Moto X+1
Moto X Play
a nexus 6
4 september is the launch date..

the demand for phablet it at all time high. makes sense to launch a separate phablet lineup under "X+1", keeping the internals more or less same while integrating their signature active voice feature. but that doesn't mean people don't want a proper sub 5" phone. G2 with 4.7" screen makes perfect sense as 0.2" will anyway be wasted with those virtual navigation keys. and there are many more like you waiting for phones with S410.
Also Samsung Mega 2 was suppose to ship with S410 (as per leaks) but instead it ended up with a quadcore Cortex A7 from the Exynos lineup. That means S410 is still not quite ready for the market.
should be 14k looking at the import price.
Flipkart's double marketing.
isn't Shamu & Nexus 6 the same device?
only for Verizon.
hmm maybe, ..
i disagree here .. sd410 is more than ready as it was announced in lenovo A805e 2 months ago.. htc has announced desire 510 and desire 820 , samsung is already ready with 2-3 models .. ofcourse we are talking about announcements here but looks like all phones will be launched in september itself
regarding galaxy mega 2 .. i think there are more than 1 version because the leak benchmark also detailed a 12mp/5mp camera and 2 gb ram.. plus exynos won't be launched in the USA so its pretty much guaranteed SD 410 version will go to them .. samsung has other models as well with SD 410 that will launch here like this one
*gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benchmark=...&D=Samsung+SM-G510F,+SM-G5108Q&testgroup=info
yup
nobody is really sure about it ... conflicting rumours
Moto S/shamu is a 5.9 inch device .. moto X play is a 5.2 inch device with similar specs as shamu/S .. phonearena mentioned that they can't use Nexus 6 name so they will go for Nexus X .. most likely there will be 2 nexus X a 5.9 inch shamu and a 5.2 inch Moto x play

New Moto X+1 images leak, confirm some design details
looks like X+1 will ship with a plethora of sensors. if X+1 gets these kind of treatment, Moto G2 may inherit something of the same like. That may be the reason why Motorola is sticking to a old chipset (S801 instead of 805 & S400 instead of 410) on both their smartphones.

here is how the new Snapdragon 410 cortex A53 performs in htc desire 510
Gpu performance is same as adreno 305 so not worth posting it..
this is at 1.2 ghz and has same performance as 1.6 ghz cortex A7 in desire 816
the IPC performance is almost similar to krait cores ..
the 1.8 ghz snapdragon 610 should be able to match Moto X in single core performance .. now waiting to see the performance of Adreno 405
