Some phones for the same price: ZTE Geek v975, Lenovo P780, Lenovo S860, Jiayu G4s, Star N9800. Faster, bigger, dual sim. And Lenovo has great battery.

- GFischer 12y agoI bought a Lenovo for my girlfriend (S820), since Moto G was sold out. While it's a pretty decent phone, the UI has some lag and feels a bit sluggish compared to its competitors. I think the Mediatek does not deliver the same performance as other similarly specced chips. I don't know enough to understand why, maybe the GPU is not good enough or something. Edit: someone says that, among other improvements, Motorola uses a different and faster filesystem (F2FS) which is faster (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7742608 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7742608). It does have some big advantages (much better camera for example), and the battery seems to be pretty good too. Huawei has ever cheaper similarly specced phones, but the reviews scared me, it seems their software is extremely buggy. If you're considering rooting / modding your phone, then maybe one of these phones is a good option.
- sirkneeland 12y agoAt this point though it is not crazy to say that Motorola's (unobtrusive and thoughtful) software additions actually add value to their phones. My Moto X is an excellent piece of hardware but the magic that really sets it apart is in Moto's actually useful software additions. Now that Lenovo is buying Motorola, it will be interesting to see what happens both with Moto and Lenovo devices.
