  • What's the Moto G got/not got that would sway me away from Nexus devices?

  • The processors/GPUs in the Motorolas are old hat (not just the Moto G). Moto G only has 1Gb of memory. I have a 2nd generation Moto G 4G (the old one) which has 1Gb and I think it's one of the things that slows the phone down a bit. Could be snappier, although it is much better on Lollipop.

    Motorolas in theory get the latest Android next after the Nexus devices because they are basically Google but the reality for me was I finally got Lollipop a few months ago.

    The Moto G screen is nowhere near as sharp as a Nexus screen. The Nexii (?) have fingerprint scanners, much better cameras (my Moto G camera is awful, the new Nexus cameras sound great) etc.

    I preferred the Nexus 4 I smashed and will probably get a Nexus 5X or 6P (which would go nicely with my Pixel 2) eventually.

    The Moto G's are very good for the money, but they are a budget phone so aren't as good as a non-budget phone.

    If you like your Nexus 5 and don't need to replace with it stick with it.

  • Yeah, I'm waiting to see if I can get a N5X for testing through work. The Moto thinking was to replace the bird's phone, which fucks me off whenever I have to use it - typically driving to races and I don't need to be more fucked off than I already am pre-race.
