Is the Moto X 2014 an upgrade over the LG G2?

I currently use and have been using an LG G2. Would getting this phone be a lateral move? It looks like the Moto X and the Hint together would work really well together. Thx

It really depends on what your looking for....What do you want in your phone? Battery life is an issue I guess? But I'd like to see it myself. Coming from an M7 this should be a good upgrade for me!

I have played with the LG G3 a bit and I think even from that to this phone is an upgrade. I just think LG UI is counter productive, battery and performance draining. It's really a mess. That's the main thing you're upgrading to, a cleaner interface and software features that are very useful.

The camera will be a small downgrade possibly. The Moto X 2014 use the same Sony sensor as the G3, but Motorola doesn't do as good of a job tuning low light images, which was an issue with the original X as well.

Battery life 'may' be a downgrade. I am slightly concerned about battery life, but I still think base on past experience with various Moto phones, 3.5-4 hours of screen on time should be possible with this one, just because it had a big boost in CPU power and screen size from the original X, but the battery size stays nearly the same.

I think if you want a clean interface, with usual features that help simplify your life, strong radio signal and good voice quality (this thing have four microphones), and faster updates than any other non-Nexus phones*. Moto X is the way to go.

*Moto X did get updates faster than Nexus once, but it was a specific technical issue they had to fix. By an large, Nexus updates faster than anything else (which is why it's running Android L right now and not the Moto X).

It would definitely be an upgrade, but not that much of one. It will just depend on which hardware and feature set you like more and how much moving is worth to you. They are 2 pretty different devices.

I also think the camera will be a little ( or a lot ) of a downgrade. Battery life I know will be less,the question is how much? Instead of getting one out of the gate I think I will wait for some,many real time reviews. That's what I love about android. You never have to wait long for the next greatest thing. My wallet disagrees with that statement but I love having a choice
