LG Optimus G tradein for Moto G ?

A

Hey Guys,

I have a 1 yr old Lg Optimus G E975 with me.I can sell it for around 15-20k, so should I sell it and get a 16 Gb Moto G ?

I know Moto G is no match for LGOG in terms of specs but I am tired of LG's update cycle....It has been a year and still no 4.3 jellybean or 4.4 kitkat !

Also I wanted the stock anroid experience and right now dont have enough cash for the Nexus 5.

I am concerned about the 1 gb ram in the moto g , is it going to be a problem ? , my LGOG has 2 gb ram and even then I run out of ram sometimes.

Please advise.
Cheers !
Abhijit

I will advise you to root your Optimus G and install custom rom. This will be better than downgrading to Moto G.

+1 to this. I recently bought a optimus g e970 because it is a lot better than moto g in terms of hardware. Rooted it, unlocked the boot loader and then installed Paranoidandroid (beta 6). Now the phone is running on android 4.4.2.

If you are frustrated with the update cycle , go ahead and buy Moto G. ( specially if you need a phone with stable KK , right now )
Otherwise , E975/E970 is way ahead in terms of raw performance.

Apparently , LGE has planned an update for G pro somewhere in the 2 quarter. I think , E975 still may have it's chances to get KK alive.

Believe me....... there's no major change in 4.3 & 4.3 ....

Changing from Optimus G to Moto G is a stupid thought !!!

No general user will feel any difference. My friends don't see any difference in jelly bean builds & KK. For some KK is same as 4.1
