Hi everyone! Been an incredibly long time since I last posted/commented on Digit forum. :-D Anyway, better late than never.:-D
Now coming to the point, is the hyped Moto G still a smartphone that can hold its ground against the likes of the Xiaomi Mi3 and Asus Zenfone 6? One of the main reasons for all the hype regarding the G was that Motorola was a Google-owned company back then and people were going gaga on how it would receive all the latest OS updates from Google. But now since Lenovo has taken over, is it still a device worth considering when pitted against the Mi3 or is it a completely different ball game? Do share what you guys think about the Moto G. :cool:

Actually xiomi has promised that weekly update will be coming each week. So updates might not be that much of a problem but yeah native android experience is what you can feel to be left out. But still my vote is for MI3

Mi3 is Nexus 5 competitor just for the specs alone and weekly updates got OS part covered. so, +1 to Mi3
