Afaik Like any Nexus phones (from GNexus) the total memory is shared for apps, media, system, everything... So even if you have bought 8GB variant, you can install more than 4GB of apps (keeping other data minimal). Enjoy... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Baba ji, I have NOT used Moto G. But I have used Lenovo P780 and have experience with Moto's near stock UI. So I can guess (NOT assert) the following... Common on both P780 and Moto G: [1] Almost same + reasonable Price [2] 1.2 GHz QuadCore Cortex A7 processor @ 28nm (Moto got from Qualcomm and Lenovo from Mediatek) [3] 1GB RAM [4] 720p HD resolution IPS LCD display [5] Not so good camera but with GeoTagging, face detection [6] DualSIM support [7] microUSB Host support (not sure about G, but Gsmarena says so) [8] Active Noise cancellation with sec mic. [9] Wifi, BT, 3G, Front cam, etc Advantages of Moto G:- [1] Latest and greatest Android KitKat is about to reach in a week {reached DualSIM version in Malaysia already, India is next} [2] Better GPS {Mediatek always lacks better GPS afaik} [3] Corning glass protection for display [4] Light weight, Compact size and not everyone likes big 5" screen [5] Butter Smooth near stock UI [6] video recording with Stereo sound + HDR, Panaroma in stills [7] Customisation option with colour back covers, etc [8] Better known brand {but Lenovo is going to be its parent co} Advantages of P780 Lenovo:- [1] Bigger battery 4000mAh [2] Bigger display 5" [3] Memory card support [4] 8MPx camera [5] FM Radio Result:- Yes, around 14k is worthy price for both phones... But if bigger display, battery, SD support is important, go for P780. If Compact size, customisation, latest Android version is important, go for Moto G. Reg Memory, I want to tell one thing... P780 comes in 2 options --- 4GB + SD and 8GB + SD. Moto G in 8GB, 16GB options. Its better to avoid 4GB in P780 and 8GB of Moto G, imho... Though 16GB without SD slot may look tiny comparing 8GB + microSD slot of P780, the internal memory of P780 is restricted with few GB for apps and rest for media. Whereas in Moto G, the whole of 16GB is used a huge memory pool and shared for apps, media and everything. So you can install upto 10GB of apps, if you are going to keep media in minimum. Just my two cents paise.... Edited February 7, 2014 by KanagaDeepan 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ami1 237 Report post Posted February 7, 2014 8GB without microSD is a big no no. Specially as the price diff is only 1.5K for Moto G. Usually the difference is much higher for other phones/tablets. I had bought a Nexus 7 with 8GB and am fed up of moving folders to/fro from my Laptop. After a stock install only 5 GB is available. Installing Sygic leaves 4 GB. Other essential apps (around 20-30) will leave 3 GB. If you install even 1-2 big games or 5-10 small games that will leave just 1 GB for your Music/Video/Documents. So you will need to remove the games after you have played them before installing new ones You will also fall short of space when you try a Nandroid backup or if ROM Manager or NRT type of things want to save a few kernels/boot images etc. Without nandroid backups you can't try new ROMs etc. So I have to move my sygic maps folder then do nandroid backups and move backups to laptop and get sygic back So i would strongly suggest 16GB unless you are sure you will not go overboard with installing large apps/games and doing backups / ROMs etc 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats the reason I suggested to avoid 8GB versions in my earlier post... But that 8GB option is OK for old people, first time smartphone users, backup device, house wives who is just going to use phone just for whatsapp [The population of this category people is growing fast like fire]... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shipping in 10-20 days. @Kanaga and Rim Gurus Please list some more advantages and disadvantages of handsets with SD card and without SD card. Common sense really Advantage - 1. removable, so if one card fails use another 2. expand memory per budget 3. swap memory on the go Disadvantage - 1. android, like iOS, is moving towards internal memory in a bid to "optimize" performance, which I think is bullcrap I would always opt for expandable memory and removable batteries in phones, even at the cost of other features 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

st_7 138 Report post Posted February 8, 2014 Flipkart is now really becoming a strong brand, worthy competitor to brick and mortar stores The way they handled the launch is very nice & way better than what Google could do with the launches of their Nexus phones in US(even Nexus 5 launch had issues of order priority, some of the people who ordered withing minutes have their order confirmed but had to wait few days or even weeks for the shipping information, but people who order after couple of days of the launch got their order confirmation & shipping details immediately even before those who ordered within minutes of the launch). I agree the quantity may be less in the case of Flipkart-Moto G launch but it is a perfect launch especially the way they stopped till next morning after taking few orders for few minutes in the midnight.
