Sachinism Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 G2 is better phone but with not as good software and there might be lag even with more power But it has much batter camera ,battery and imo one of best screens I have seen but software side was little bit of mess when it released don't know about now Just use it in store about moto g it has stock android like software and for normal day to day use even I can live with it with no problem Didn't find any good deals on Moto G. Ended up getting the G2. Haven't had a chance to test it out. If the s/w is really poor, I'll probably just flash a better Rom on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Didn't find any good deals on Moto G. Ended up getting the G2. Haven't had a chance to test it out. If the s/w is really poor, I'll probably just flash a better Rom on it. It is so powerful that even that software is useable but design is eye sore to me but others like it ...I have heard they have improved a lot with G3 so hopeful this also got updated :two_thumbs_up: This is better phone in every way other than software and that is subjective too so don't worry about it ^Moto G2 is running Stock android so you don't have to worry about it :) No he is talking about lg g2 not moto g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crookbond Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 ^ It is easy to check what works in India. Got to Apple website and check the LTE bands for iPhone. I know it's an irony but easy to check it. In any case, there's no LTE in India :P http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ For GSM, everything's standard and are available on the Internet. You can also ask someone from India to find his model number etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gattaca Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 link airtel is the 1st and only service provider to launch 4G in India and you will be happy to know that airtel 4G is launched in Kolkata, Bengaluru, Pune, Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Phagwara, Hoshiarpur, Patiala, Nagpur & Nasik. This is just for Airtel t wasn’t until October 2010 that the ITU-R completed an assessment of six candidates to be considered true 4G technologies. After much deliberation, LTE-Advanced and WirelessMAN-Advanced were designated IMT-Advanced compliant technologies, and the age of real 4G began. LTE-Advanced is the technology that we are going to see in western markets, so here’s a little rundown of what makes LTE-A so special. Firstly, it’s important to know that LTE-A isn’t just about handset download speeds, there’s a big push to make improvements to infrastructure in order to achieve these high download rates. LTE-A aims to improve data speeds by using a mix of traditional macro cells and vastly improved small cells. The aim is to offer better high speed coverage at the network’s edge and more bandwidth, but the transmitters will have to function on different frequency bands in order to avoid interference. 4G and LTE are different. http://www.androidauthority.com/4g-vs-lte-274882/ nvm. I thought airtel was using older 4g. Looks tehy do use LTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Airtel uses 2300 MHz band and in past HTC did not support it but with update it did so maybe same will happen with x Also LTE is now capped at 10 Mbps so I don't see point of it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks tehy do use LTE. 4G & LTE are interchangeably used.. the other candidates for 4G like Wimax are dead. Even in LTE, most countries are opting for LTE-TDD than LTE-FDD for spectrum issues. India uses LTE-TDD and right now only Airtel is offering it in select places. Wait for the Reliance launch & you will see a lot of action in this space LTE-Advanced will not be launched for another 3 years... the chipsets themseleves are far from any certification:winky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gattaca Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Finally Got the MotoX 2014 . with 150 off. Customized for teak wood finish and white front. It came to 400 with taxes. So looks like lollipop unlocked a few bands on the pure version. I bought ATT version first then cancelled it and got the pure version which has stock version of Andriod and might need the 2 months certification like the ATT version for updates.
