We've got the Moto G, here's the place to ask your questions

[Alex Dobie]

Does it have the same stock wallpapers as the Moto X. If not please post examples if you can.

Posted via Android Central App

A few of the same and a handful of new ones.

Does it have Active Notifications from the Moto X?

No.

How's the battery life?! (kidding)

Does it have the full-suite of Motorola Assist (Sleep, Meetings, Driving)?

Yep Moto Assist is on here

1) How is the performance vs the Nexus 4?
2) How much free RAM memory does it have on an average?
3) Camera quality vs Nexus 4?

Performance is comparable to the N4 in most apps

When will be available in Romania? (eastern Europe)

I imagine so. Moto is pushing for a widespread European release.

It'd really have been neat if they were sized so that existing accessories like cases and docks could be interchangeable.

G Pro

Unlikely due to different screen sizes.

That's due to the specific CPU vendor of the Gnex. Moto seems pretty serious about keeping the G up to date.

Not the exact same but similar.

yea... well someone did do a test of kitkat 4.4 on a moto g device on 10/28/13. I imagine that kitkat will be showing up on the Moto X and G's platform sometime soon.

Hey alex, will there be a podcast sometime soon? I would like to hear yours and everyone's (Jerry's & Phil's) opinion about the phone as well as a Q/A session.

Edit: Just saw Verizon Soak Tests for kitkat on the moto x is being sent out to people today. woot!!!

 

[Alex Dobie]

How compatible will this be with T-mobile? i.e. HSPA+

Works with AWS and 1900.

how does it compare to the moto x in terms of feel? Does it feel premium in hand? Hows the camera?
Do you see yourself using this as a daily driver?

I could use it if I had to. Feel us similar to the X. Matte plastic but not quite soft touch. Camera is very reasonable for the price

Can you tell if it'll be one global model (that includes CDMA and GSM)?

Networks: GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz); UMTS (850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz); CDMA (850/1900 MHz). No LTE.

Strange, I've seen a few spec sheets floating around that only show quadband UMTS (no 1700).

Motorola's own website (Motorola - A Google Company) doesn't really say much. Fingers crossed.

You don't think the newest OS update should be able to run on a brand new phone? A phone that will be released by the same company making the OS? A phone released AFTER the OS update??

..probably time to get over the Galaxy Nexus.

Yup. It's almost 2 yrs old, that's like a dinosaur in tech terms.

What size SIM card does it use?

 

[nferenc]

Bootloader?

How does the camera perform in low light?

Does the front covering flip case also function as a back cover?
I'm kinda confused if it's a back cover or if it actually goes over the phone.

 

[Patrick Takla]

How thick is the moto g compared to the moto x? And when will it come to North America ?
