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.
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...

^^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 .
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 )

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.

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.
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

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

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 ..

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

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.
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!
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
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

yeah my friend has ,he had an issue with his mi3(speaker wasnt working properly) and took it to one service centre which said the xiaomi site was not up to date or something and that they only serviced HTC and Samsung phones
he took it to another where they said they didnt have the parts needed for repair and that he would have to pay for service

mine too
i dont trust these sidey brands,rather buy an "inferior" reputed product
yeah basically most reputed brands like apple and samsung also do such things (in my experience with both) but atleast you can pay a small sum and get a reputed brand product repaired locally with imported parts which are readily available
a good example is nokia(symbian days) when you could get a fully trashed symbian nokia repaired within 15 mins locally if you wanted to
same way my friend managed to get his ipads screen replaced locally for 3.5k locally with original screen and digitizer etc
another friend of mine is unable to get his karbonn phones headphone jack repaired because parts arent available locally and the service centre is a joke and asked him 5k for a new mobo

I have owned mainly Samsung and apple devices. But with Apple literally I got no problem ever and with Samsung I had once and that too was with my cousin Note 3 since I had a good connection with Samsung service center I got the device exchange in just 2 days of device submission. So never had any experience with device problem and as long as you keep the device in good bumper and safely you won't find yourself near the service center. Unless of course the person is unlucky.
@ kkn What do you do with updates if your phone is running proper? Namesake? Stop kidding or trolling. Bad service? Aah welcome to the strange, every brand you name it they have it...ISSUES! Cheap Chinese brand huh? Do you know the Qualcomm is an investor in Xiaomi? Hugo Barra is an employee so its not exactly the looser you are making it out to be. Are you feeling sorry for buying something else for the same price....? My condolences are with you.Amen.
This Mi3 is fabulous , and this comes from an user who started his android journey with an Xperia Arc and counting.......
Its been 2 months with moto g no problems so far I'm quiet happy with it no lag what so ever BTW all Chinese brands look good on paper but real life scenario is completely different all they have is bling bling.

Not really. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 you are flaunting underneath your MotoG is an investor in Xiaomi !!! Your phone the halo d moto g is made in China by a third party too!

yeah though theres always a chance of defective components
i have an ipad 2 with screen "burn in" and maples service centre wanted me to cough up 22k for a refurb in exchange despite being in warranty

i dont buy cheap phones ,my cheapest phone is 20k+ i happen to have alot of phones ,tablets etc since im a developer
i dont need such devices,i have a nexus 5 why the heck would i feel sorry for buying it instead of some chinese gimmick xiaomi
just because qualcomm is an investor doesnt mean qualcomms policies or whatever willl get your phone repaired or guarantee you quality or something
this comes from someone who has owned nearly every flagship and mid range phone ever made
enjoy your life with cheap chinese products with no local parts(which other brands have , so they can be repaired locally)
your kidding and trolling not me,your just delusional because you got a snapdragon 800 for cheap and think its better than 50k phones
im betting xiaomi buyers will be back to the forums just to rant about issues with it

@kkn you say you are a developer you should have known now a days getting a flagship phone from any big brands like sony,Samsung etc is simply waste of money nothing more.lets say you get a 50k phone after around 6 months there will be another flagship so what is the point then.Even most of the time your phone gets stolen and 50k goes to drain or you may accidentally broke your screen these brands will ask you 15k just for repair tell me will you go for it no na.
Cheap is not always crap take the example of Moto g it is cheap but Sony M2 with same chipset cost 20k tell me if A buys Moto G while B buys Sony M2 who is wiser then.

Most of the people are having positive feedback about Mi3 so no doubt it is good.

agreed
i never said cheap is bad,i personally like motos offerings such as the moto e and moto g
you said- "A buys Moto G while B buys Sony M2 ,who is wiser then"
thats not my point,both sony and motos offerings-the M2 and the G are well built,premium quality and have good ASS
my point is- dont compare a Nexus 5 to a xiaomi mi3 just because they have a snapdragon 800 and xiaomi is cheaper
its obvious LG has better service and quality than the Mi3
while most of your points are true,the mi3 does also have negative reviews,one of my friends already has issues with his mi3 and is having trouble getting it repaired,in fact he is planning on selling it for lesser and getting a moto g tomorrow
people have also reported issues with reception,software issues etc
im not saying its not possible with a sony or a moto but the sony or moto will always have better support officially and unofficially

It still doesn't make sense Motorolla was bought by lenovo which is typical Chinese brand,China have lota cash to burn they invest everywhere in the world even in US Bonds,they can invest anywhere they want. For eg Huawei an reputed Chinese brand was accused of hacking into BSNL network.
All the Chinese brands are threat to national security all kind of things.
All they want is a hold in Indian market and they will do anything for it.

xiaomi is a new company who are establishing their bases in India, there ASS will improve over time
No company can start with penetration like nokia had
dont know what this guys problem is against chinese products..yes there are obvious trash items but not all are ,Chinese can produce quality stuff too..besides these days everything is Made In china!!!
going around bashing xiaomi with retarded arguments
bad build qualtiy?? made by foxconn
Bad reception?? everything has been nice so far no drop calls ,GPs locks instantenous inside room, wifi reception is rocking good
Xiaomi slow in software updates? you really need to find out a bit more about MIUI, i think there update schedule is on par with the rest of the big companies
Software bugs for mi3.. none so far
lenovo typical chinese brand? i dont know much about their phones , but they took over the PC/Laptop business from IBM and their laptops have been fine and is one of the prominent brand in US
Huawei hacking into BSNL? dude almost all the MObile network carriers use devices supplied chinese company HUawei,Zte , it was probably some rumour someone cooked up after americans alleged of the same!!
It could also be true but then again the govt should have worried about that when they allowed them to get the tenders
Btw only dev roms have weekly updates and there are incremental updates so you dont want to download 600mb all the time
Stable roms are updated every fortnight or monthly i think
FYi im not a fanboy of any of these things..i just wanted to set certain things straight thats all!
yes, both of you should give it a rest. We don't need the same bunch of guys arguing/taunting in every thread over the same thing.
I'll be clear to you, his posts haven't been reported by neutral members. You can figure out why. Over the top you can go, but no need of going way over the top.
I too bought moto g about 3 weeks ago, then price drops, xiaomi etc.. happened
But one thing is sure as far as doubt of op is considered,
Buddy at most you shall spend one hour a day in gaming & rest of day in general "phone" use so according to me the higher hardware is not something really required.
Plus I like the stock android more(just personal opinion)
Well also people fighting over ASS, give sometime & let brand soak into market things will become lot more clear
)
ing and stereotyping
they should an app like cyandelta which downloads just the update deltas from cm which is just ~10mb per day or ~40mb per week
