We have the new Moto G, you have questions. Fire away!

Is the camera fast/quick for shots of children? Would performance be on part with a note 2?

Does it have IR sensors for Moto Display or it just uses the proximity sensor? How much of difference in the battery would it make considering it doesn't have an AMOLED screen.
And out of topic, but the does the Moto X Play have IR sensors like the Style?

No IR sensors on the G. Yes on the Style.

I'm also curious about shutter speed on the camera and which moto features are present and which are not.

Seems too early, but curious what kind of battery life you're seeing.

And if it dual Sim or not.

How good is the waterproofing ? Do you have a picture of the backcover (inside) ?

 

[Zammo76]

Does your Moto G have Dual Sim capability (it looks like it from the photos in the hands on article)? Do you know if this will be available for the UK market?

Well as a lot have already asked about battery life, I want to ask about feel in the hand, the camera compared to Nexus 6 (particularly HDR+ if present) since it's the same sensor.
Also how good is the slow motion. I've seen stuttering in Android slow motion cameras in every phone but Samsung's and Sony. Seems to be f-stop related.

Did you test the waterproofing aspects of the phone? Also did you test how tough the Gorilla Glass 3 display really is? Because my Moto E developed a scratch so i doubt the effectiveness of Gorilla Glass 3. Also did you try to play any graphics intensive games on it to see if performance is smooth?

 

[Peacen1k]

Dual sim? And if so, are both active?

 

[gustavo_pr]

I read that it will be available thru the prepaid plan only.

 

[Stennan]

OK list of questions.
How easy to repair does the phone seem to be (screws visible under the cover)?
How likely is it that we will be able to purchase moto maker components on lets say ebay and upgrade the looks ourselves in cased our country doens't have moto maker?
Any comments on how long they are likely to support this phone with OS updates beyond M (looking at the other Moto Gs)?
How is the in hand feel compared to the other 2015 motos and the Nexus 4 (specifically regarding one hand use)?

One feature i miss in Moto G2 was the ability to cast screen to a smart tv using miracast. Last learnt it was disabled due to hardware limitation.
How is it in Moto G3?
Also, does it have TV out/ MHL support?

 

[pheel_n]

Hello,

1. Just wondering since the screen is the same resolution as past models, if it is improved any other way such as brightness, sharpness, and clarity?

2. Since the omission of dual speakers, how does this one hold up (tinniness, loudness, volume)? ***This aspect in particular is holding me off from purchasing one***

No LED this time as the new G has Moto Display

Should I wave my hand to see the notifications ? Or it will constantly appear on the sleep mode.

Would you upgrade from a 2014 Moto G?

Any chance you might do a video comparison vs. The Nexus 4?

Only thing you miss out on is Moto Voice. That and the new G is a little chunkier than the 2013 X

No Moto Voice? So that means no hands-free commands, like the Moto X? What a bummer.

Moto G XT1548 is the sku that supports Sprint's Spark LTE bands. The main SKU XT1540 supports CDMA, GSM and LTE but doesn't do Spark or VZW's Band 13, at least not officially. That could be an update though.

So the one with the Sprint Spark bands should have Sprint CDMA bands right?

How's the camera?

I heard that the hardware is similar to that found in the Nexus 6, only lacking OIS.
