+1 to Moto G (2014)

Moto G (2nd Gen) would be best for you

Any other smartphones than Moto g?

^Asus Zenfone 5

There's the ASUS Zenphone 5, if you want to consider it..
Also if you wait around, SD 410 based phones MAY arrive at this price

moto g 2014,zenfone 5,moto x 2013(people have gotten it for low rates locally apparently)
SD410 wont be a huuge jump,64bit will take time to implement

ohh missed that!
otherwise its a great phone,after yesterdays big billion sale on flipkart,the local markets are filled with stuff from flipkart

Don't but Mi3
*www.digit.in/forum/buying-advice/1...pare-parts-even-xiaomi-exclusive-centres.html

stop the rant, nobody suggested Mi3 to @op :facepalm:

Moto G 2014. No need to look for other phones.

I think SD 410 wont come untill december and I dont believe I'd get moto x (1st gen) under 15k, so moto g it is?

+1 to Moto G. I am waiting for mine to arrive.

Moto G is weak. Micromax Canvas Nitro with its octa core mediatek chip is far better.

Mali 450MP4 = 2 * Adreno 305

1.7 Ghz Cortex A7 > 1.2 Ghz Cortex A7

K

^not true at all
first off micromax is a terrible oem and poor quality
secondly mediatek cpus look good on paper but performance is not that great at all
thirdly mediatek ships with a feature called incompatability

@op stick to Moto G,micromax is a joke in comparison

Moto G is much better than Micromax canvas. The OS is much much smoother, the gaming is good too, Also you will get Android L and M for Sure.
Nitro probably will never get it.

Anyway,It's better to wait still the end of this month,I'm doing the same as snapdragon 410 phones have already started coming out (Grand Prime) but sadly it aint that great due to touchwiz

What might be the cost of One plus one 16gb model?

I am sure you are kidding right?

Why would I be kidding ?

The Mediatek 6592 is decidedly more powerful that the SD 400.

*kyokojap.myweb.hinet.net/gpu_gflops/

Adreno 305 :

MSM8228
MSM8628
MSM8928

(Snapdragon 400)
450 MHz
21.6 Gflops

Mali 450MP4

MT6592
MT8392
700 MHz
41.8 Gflops

The Mali GPU doubles the performance of the Adreno 305

Since both chipsets use cortex A7 cores the one with the higher clockspeed will win in both single core/multi core performance

Lol I wasn't talking about the performance only, I mean how could you compare Motorola, a 25 years old manufacturer, with Micromax, a hybrid of China and India, who have started making phones from I don't know how long ago, don't care really?

Or brand value doesn't mean anything to you?

Does brand value mean anything to a person who buys a Xaomi ?.BTW, Micromax has a good enough brand value and besides people who buy phones in this price range are looking to get the best for their money(I mean't specs wise).

That is why you see such rave reviews for the MI3 on flipkart and trash reviews for Samsung

Oh okay, I get your point now. You are talking about other people but not you and mine, in that case you are correct.

Moto G 2014 is just a better choice in my point of view.

Dude if you want a freaking Micromax nitro you get it man.
Moto G is superior in every freaking aspect.

Will the great micromax nito GET ANDROID L? NO.even if it will,probably sometime next year when moto g users are enjoying Android M

Anyway man [MENTION=261170]AbhMkh[/MENTION] Micromax does have a better brand value in India

. Will just wait for micromax to release their OWN phone and not a re branded one .. waiting for the cm micromax phone

Also, what about self esteem?
I heard people with self esteem don't buy Micromax phones.

K

what?micromax?good reviews??!! nah their phones are poorly made
even xiaomi and one plus one quality is more plausable
micromax phones go bad very fast,lacks updates,uses mediatek cpus which arguably heat up faster,have worse battery life,lag is noticeable and has issues regarding compatability with alot of apps
i myself regret buying two mediatek "quad core" tablets

ohh and no unofficial roms and proper root methods either thanks to a closed source on mediatek

^ Well this sums up everything

theserpent said:

Nope.
+1 to Moto G.
That does.

Mediatek has finally reveled its source code so now people can expect custom roms to show up soon.

no point though because android one is stock android anyway,good for future updates though after it loses support or something

devs won't surely buy those phones when they already have trusted devices available. Custom roms take lot of work and people buying these cheap rebranded OEM phones won't really be interested in rooting and flashing stuff

Indeed it is true. But since CM has come up I am expecting more to follow up.

No idea regarding which deices code they provide. Never got interested in any MTK processor it was just a heading which I read some where :-D

yeah MTK performance is terrible,not high-performance terrible,its terribly slow for even opening basic apps
rather get a SD200(bare minimum cpu,anything below is bad) atleast it can handle basic stuff properly and even some HD videos and even games properly

Guys chill. Please help the OP get a good phone under 14k. Let's not argue about which brand is better.

^ I'm heading towards Moto g as per the comments xD

Mehul Chauhan said:

then your heading in the right direction!!

Moto G is a great android phone for the price

Even I will be getting MOTO G, Unless a better snapdragon 410 phone shows up

Zenfone 5, moto g 2014

Moto G is pretty damn kewl!

Display is gorgeous.

End of discussion

I'd rather have a stable build of android on better specs than a latest build of android on inferior specs.Not everybody uses custom ROM's

Well, since the OP has decided to go for the Moto G, no point in taking this any further.

K

what??

Moto G is undoubtedly the better phone
MMX comes nowhere close in terms of quality,build,updates,service etc

J

Get Moto G 2nd gen. Its $179 here so you can definately get it in 14k INr which is around $228

Dude,Nitro is still on 4.4.2 and trust me MTK sucks, my mom has a phone powered by MTK and battery drains like hell

^^dont forget the lag,lack of optimisation,app crashes and incompatability!!

Mediatek

Exact free storage of moto x 1st gen? 10gb? Its for 18k but only thing i didnt like is the free space.

Lol you could have got Samsung Galaxy S5 for 15k(13.7k after coupon) on eBay.in as there was a pricing error and 131 people were able to get it.

get the moto g 2014 then,its not behind ,its a very capable handset and has an sd card slot and larger screen as well

yup for sure

Are these 1st gen moto X going to get the new moto voice features supporting whatsapp, facebook, youtube?

good question
i think it might because the hardware most definately supports it,max to max cyanogenmod or some other rom maybe bring these features to 1st gen

I haven't used Moto E/G/X but I don't believe them to be lag free, my Nexus 7 (2012) lags often.

The first gen Moto X is scheduled to get Android L update. Most likely it will come with the standard Moto software too.

^I Hope the update brings new touchless features in 1st gen.

i have a nexus 5,7(2012) and my bro has a moto e,they lag much less than MMX etc with mediatek
snapdragon>>>>mediatek
i regret buying 3 mediatek products so far,snapdragon has been better for me
