Nexus 4 vs Moto G XT1033

I've got a few questions.

I'm getting a second hand Nexus 4 for 14K. Should I get it or should I go for Moto G?

Can the ROMs of single SIM XT1032 be flashes on dual SIM XT1033?

Which phone will be better from a developer point of view? In the long run I mean.

In the long run, a Nexus 4 is superior... It would run circles around Moto G... It also has excellent developer support, and will continue to do so for years to come...

Its a no-brainer... if the second hand Nexus 4 is in good condition, buy it... It would be the right thing to do...

Nexus 4 is better in every way except it has no otg support which the G has..

I don't think single sim rom can work on dual sim.
But my vote goes to Nexus 4

Go for Nexus 4 as it is much easier in a developer perspective to tweak around the vanilla android compared to the custom ROMS. I am thinking that moto G has a tweaked in version of droid and not the vanilla version. Please correct me if i am wrong.

network won't work. i mean without modification to rom not even 1 sim will work. but mobile does boot fine.

Nexus 4 community is much broad so definitely N4 is better from developers POV.

I can't belive ico ask such no-brainer questions :X

^lol

Ontopic- Most roms are working on dual sim too. I still find moto G better than Nexus 4. I've moto G and my friend have N4 in build quality and display moto g is way ahead than N4.

For android app development both will serve you good.

IMO, get the Nexus 4.

+1 for nexus 4 keeping in mind now motorola is sold to lenovo and so moto G in long run may lack the necessary support

Stupid question first of all.. still I will answer.. Go for N4.. :mrgreen:

Only things where Moto G wins is Dual sim support & OTG..

No question is stupid.

And you're not doing him any favor by replying him. Just keep your attitude out of here before replying.

I

Nexus 4 is far ahead of Moto G.
And single sim ROM won't work on dual sim phones. Tried and failed.

Thanks everyone.

People tend to assume that everyone are as as tech-savvy as them.

Girl: umm..err...excuse me, is Micromax ...better than Sony and Samsung?
Typical Digitian: OMG U NOOB GAL Y U ASK SUCH STUPID QUESTION GO BACK TO YOUR KITCHEN !!

As for the second hand N4, it all depend on its age and condition. At Rs14k, I'd recommend it to any one, from a 16 yr old to a 60 yr old, if it was in a decent condition.

Bye. There goes your second account as well.

Lol just saw the banning had reported him ...anyways may I ask nexus 4 vs moto X which one will u choose?

Moto G is more bang for bucks compared to Nexus 4. But.. at there original price point of Rs 14k (12.5k) and Rs 22k. But at the same price, Nexus 4 beats Moto G hands down.

Moto G have following stuff which N4 lacks:
-> Better processing power
-> Water proof due to nano coating (survives half an hour dropped in water test)
-> Sports a rigid body then Nexus 4 (which comes with glass back and is more prone to shatter)
-> Gorilla Glass 3 protection (against Gorilla Glass 2)

Somethings which Nexus 4 have and Moto G can only dream on...
-> Better Graphics performance
-> 1080p video out using SlimPort HDMI
-> Double the RAM of 2 GB
-> 8 MP camera and hence 1080p video quality, against 5 MP
-> NFC (aka wireless charging and data transfer)
-> Already tried and tested, dozens of ROM's and better developer support
-> Looks better than Moto G

But then a second hand phone is well, Second hand. As also mentioned in this article, which I recommend you read: Moto G versus Nexus 4 | Android Central

All the best deciding.

FTFY,
Also, APQ8064 Krait (nexus 4) >>> MSM8226 Cortex A7 (moto G)

The processing and the graphics is much much better in N4

Now its ok........
As mentioned by others, CPU of N4 >>> CPU of Moto G
Krait cores of N4 even defeat A9 quad core, fir yeh A7 kya cheez hai ...........

Nexus will be better supported for the simple fact that despite both being equally popular, the dual sim variants are Asia only as far as I know which means unofficial support is better for nexus than for moto g
That being said, moto g is not a bad phone by a fair chance and has nearly same features as nexus however nexus also has a few drawbacks such as its glass back which is prone to scratches and all my friends with the nexus 4 have cracked the back glass but if ur careful it shouldn't be a issue as such
