9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
Stuck between Motog3 and Xiaomi Mi4i after reading a lot everywhere

10. Any other info that you want to share

Is Mi4i's camera the best compared to motog3 (both primary and secondary?)

and does Mi4i's stated 3120mAh battery give more battery backup than the motog's 2470 one ? (this is the area i'm most concerned about. after using a rally bad Samsung s4mini for a year with just around 5 hrs of battery i really need a phone which can last a day with 3g on full time and some camera use )

Stock android or Miui... which is comfortable and less laggy?

Which one is more durable among the two?

also is there any other trustworthy site where motog3 16gb version is available other than flipkart ... or anyone knows when it will be back on flipkart??

Moto G3, Fresh Lollipop Period.

Mi 4i cause better camera,display,chipset
But if you don't like MIUI then tough luck
Moto G3 only advantage is SD card and perhaps stock android

Mi4i heats even while browsing in balanced mode. Mi4i has quick charging feature which Moto G does not have.

Get Moto G3.
MIUI is crap.

Get Mi4i better chipset,camera and display.

Every phone heats up while browsing as most browsers are CPU heavy.

G3 because reliability is more important than a few extra features if its your main phone

subjective viewpoint!

IMHO,MIUI has got decent functionalities even though its bulky!

Get Mi4i 32GB version for its better display, design & camera.

Get Moto G3 if you need a phone with better brand value & water resistance

Software likability varies person to person. I personally prefer custom UI over stock UI. MIUI is good, i just hate its home screen, you can easily install a 3rd party launcher to solve that. For me Touchwiz is the best UI(but i didn't get a good phone for myself from Samsung)

thanks guys for the opinions... would have gone for mi4i if flipkart didn't show up motog3 black 16gb on stock... but as luck favoured it was available this afternoon and quickly placed an order

Congrats.

I have ordered Moto G - 3rd Gen today as well!

Moto g3 2gb ram version
Advantage- Stock android no bloatware, faster updates, water resistant.
disadvantage-It may be not same processor as mi4i but stock android puts it up there in performance as MIUI on mi4i takes a lot of ram and may have shutter lag.
Also camera on Mi phones are good. But for a cleaner lag free experience choose Moto g3 or go with mi4i.

You missed better build quality on moto

Off topic
In Jan 2010 I bought LG Optimus One p500 for 13k Best phone ever.
Back in those days it was the most talked about phone among budget buyers.

Moto g3 is still a good buy man.

Both are good.

Moto G for water resistance, stock android, timely updates, dev support, expandable memory.
Mi4i for sleek design, better display, better chipset, quickcharge, miui.
