Haven't tried G+ and Quadrant but absolutely no issues with Dialer or Whatsapp. Do try the update or factory reset to see if it helps solve the issues.

In the Last 2 weeks Phones like zenphone 5 , xiaomi mi 3 , oneplusone etc
came out , and i am starting to think i made a huge mistake

should i return my moto g to flipkart ?
will they take it ?
its not even 30 days now (from the date of purchase)

and get a zenphone 5 in its place ??

please advise ?

I honestly dont think there is any reason you should return the Moto G. It is an excellent phone at the price and delivers excellent.
It has a better optimised UI than any other phone out there (except Windows and iOS) and u will be the first to receive updates to Lollipop when it comes out. and guess what ..u are almost immune from all bloatwares that usually come with other phones like Samsung LG karbonn,
The Vanilla Android experience is fantastic as ever. Dont be disappointed, you have got a very good phone. Rest assured about that

Moto G is an excellent phone. It is in no way inferior to Zenphone 5 or Mi3. On paper, those phones have better hardware, but Moto G is very powerful. It has an additional advantage in that it is awesomely water proof.

The only real way Mi3 is superior to Moto G is in the camera department. But if you prefer is compact phone, Moto G is the best option...

i dont buy this whatever gimmick they say......please read the details carefully.......its got a nano film coating that repels water...but its not water proof........u may at the best be able to use the phone even in rains or while u take a shower.....

If OP requirement is enough with Moto G, I recommend sticking to Moto G. Taking backup in week or two and factory reset after OTA update is a PITA with Mi3

Flipkart will not entertain change of mind

 

[ankush28]

^^Amazon does it! I think Flipkart too should allow users to return products with some penalties

 

[kkn13]

Zenfone (which One ?)
5 or 6 ?
I assume you are telling about zenfone 5 (16GB).

Flipkart will not entertain change of mind

Really i cant return even telling that something is wrong ?

Well yes , my purpose is served FOR NOW !. but i am constantly in dilemma that i could have gotten a better phone with better hardware .

Thanks for consolation .
Yes it will get updates faster. Yes its just stock android , no bloat ware ,
BUT - It has connection dropping problems . i have experienced those . Wifi , cellular , bluetooth all wireless connections unexpectedly drop at irregular intervals .

Q. Why am i immune to bloat wares ?

Q.Does Mi 3 has a Nano film coating ? Can you please explain this wrt Moto G ..

^^ come on man atleast tell me what does "0100100100100000011011000110111101110110011001010010000001110100011001010110001101101000" means..

Whats apps have crashed? I've been using this since yesterday and no crashes for me.

You already Bought it ?
Mine still shows i am registered for 29th July

Haven't tried G+ and Quadrant but absolutely no issues with Dialer or Whatsapp. Do try the update or factory reset to see if it helps solve the issues.

No cause that rolled out today. Will see whats fixed and whats not.
G+, Quadrant, whatsapp and Dialer.
No, I didn't purchased but my friend did. Camera was his primary requirement and he is extremely happy with it

where did you get a hands on this device.. did you purchased it??
P.S. what is the sequence of binary numbers in your signature??

tried the update?? there is 615mb one with a load of fixes..

Assuming its all for Mi3 .

Zenfone series has one common problem: battery life. apps compatibility problem is there but it is something that will improve with time, battery life won't. Mi3 can't be compared to any phone right now. its a league of its own but the phone is a bit too big (aka phablet). sure, Motorola wasted a huge amount of space in G for nothing at the top and more at the bottom but one can use the phone with a single hand.

OnePlusOne may be here but will they land in peoples hand as fast as Xiaomi, no. Don't even think about OnePlusOne for now.

but looking at Moto G, its still one the best compact phone:
stock & optimized android 4.4
excellent battery backup
custom roms (for now dual sim is lagging behind, should improve)
guaranteed android L update

if you like MIUI, then yes Moto G is a bad choice and not VFM at all as Redmi 1S offers same spec at half the price. but if you are looking for a tried and tested phone, Moto G it is.

Well i am getting a mixed message from you .

First i never used MIUI - Saw it in videos only
Second yes Redmi 1S is less costly.

OK - Zenfone is bad in battery section.

I am gonna assume you are against returning.

Q.OnePlusOne looks Promising too , but when will it arrive ?

Flipkart won't give refund for such lame reason.
f#ck the specs and benches. Apart from camera nothing is so cool in Xiaomi Mi3. Stick to Moto G. Much Much stable OS then MIUI. (Saying this after using Mi3 for more than 6 hours, 8 App crashes(FC) on brand new phone )

Moto G is way much more optimized than mi3.

Spoiler

And No, this isnt fanboyism.

Ok message Recieved Captain

Flipkart wont give refund for that too - understood.

Snapdragon 800 vs Snapdragon 400
Adreno 330 vs Adreno 305
1080p screen vs 720p screen
2GB ram vs 1 GB ram
3050 mAh battery vs 2070 mAh battery

Their real world performance is similar...

^in day to day tasks, of course it will be.
but in gaming and benchmarks, Mi3 blows Moto G out of the water.

So i should Change or Not ?

^^it depends on you .. moto g is a solid phone and nice by every standard but surely not in the league of mi3 . they belong to different class entirely.
and if you do return it then try to wait for oneplus one ... coz oneplus one is a lot better than mi3 .

OnePlus One is Arriving when ?

Try to get Xiaomi Mi3.

Buddy are you serious.

So +1 for Returning

Its a bloody compact phone... You can't get a better one for the price...

i guess its a -1

lol think before you speak .. sure moto g is a great device but comparing mi3 vs moto g

+1 i guess

They will replace it. But there is no valid reason to exchange it. Moto g is by itself a nice phone.

Lets talk with them
It should be done within 30 days right ?

Moto G is an excellent phone. It is in no way inferior to Zenphone 5 or Mi3. On paper, those phones have better hardware, but Moto G is very powerful. It has an additional advantage in that it is awesomely water proof.

The only real way Mi3 is superior to Moto G is in the camera department. But if you prefer is compact phone, Moto G is the best option...

i have Xperia Neo V - its camera is still good enough for casual shots
Happy to hear the good words about moto G

Well get Mi3 instead of Zenfone 5 if possible. Ask flipkart for a refund stating multiple problems you're finding with the device. They probably will refund the money to your flipkart wallet.

Nice Idea -

But Mi 3 is still Not Released - mine is registered for 29th

Ofcourse!

+1 Then

 

[rish1]

^^ Lol hahaha you on a Quoting Spree.....

that is one hell of a post

 

[SunE]

OMG such a long post!

Anyways I did buy it on 21st July with priority access from flipkart first subscription. It is an amazing phone. I even bought the Moto G for a friend on launch day but this was even more special.

Flipkart will change or refund the product within 30 days no questions asked. I have done so personally, although it was simply because of defective product and not change of mind.

The best part about bloatware on the Mi3 is that if you don't like it then simply delete it. No hassles whatsoever. It is a highly customizable OS. You can change almost each and every UI element individually. Plus it's still android so if you don't like the MIUI launcher which is very much iOS-esque simply use Nova launcher or something of that sort.

It does not have a nano-coating so it won't be water-resistant though.

No one knows when OnePlus One will arrive in India. Even if it's available to ship here, it's pretty hard to get because of the invite system.

 

[The Incinerator]

I'm using the fone and have mostly used flagships and have used vfm and entry levels too, so from that experience this Mi3 that I own now is unbelievably good. I was skeptical too in the beginning and was going for a M8 or Z2 or T3 or HTC816,but now thank god I bought it,thank god the money is saved!

 

[ankush28]

OP was drafting post all the time

Mi3 worth the praise coz if its price and specs.

and bad build,reception issues,massive overhype,lack of ASS,chinese tag,lack of regular updates(xiaomi is slow in updates) and software troubles
rather get a reputed brand within the 15k bracket any day over chinese phones

 

[SaiyanGoku]

^ giving weekly updates and bug fixes for not only their own devices, but for MIUI rom for other phones too is "slow"

quit ing and stereotyping

im sure you have an amazing life,visit service centres all day,come here and promote lame brands and phones
exaggerate about things you havent even touched
MIUI updates are buggy and slow
even one plus one,oppo are better than xiaomi in terms of build and updates
you are the one trolling and stereo typing
you compared nexus 5 and other expensive devices to the xiaomi as if buyers of the more expensive phones are fools,when you buy a nexus or higher price range device you pay for quality as well just fyi

 

[amjath]

Whats the size of weekly updates?

 

[SaiyanGoku]

Whats the size of weekly updates?
