Moto G3- My honest review
By Mohak Gogiaon
I have been using this phone for more than a MONTH now and i would like to say that i am quite satisfied with the product as of now.Let me break it down in terms of pros and cons for you guys-
Pros-
1. Design:- The phone is classy and looks quite stylish in looking and gives a very good in hand feel when you're using it.
2. Camera:- The camera on this moto g3 is great.I mean one can capture really good photos with it, be it front or back.This is the case when you are in good or medium lightning conditions,so if you're clicking pictures in dark or low lighting the picture quality is only mediocre(Rear&Front) and looks a little bit artificial(Front Cam).But i suppose that's the case with every other smartphone in this price range.
3.Battery:-Battery is a major concern now -a-days and also the previous model of this phone i.e the moto g2 had battery issues.But this phone can give you a really good battery backup.It can easily last you a day even with heavy usage if you give it a full charge in the morning.It takes 2:45 minutes to charge from 0 to 100 with first 85% charged in just 2 hours.I am getting approx 5 hours of screen on time(2 sims,1 sim being 3g and the other 2g with mobile data on) and approx 7.5 hours of screen on time if the mobile data is off.So i think it's great.Isn't it?
4.Performance:- Performance is absolutely smooth.No hanging issues.Working without flaws(Asphalt 8, fifa15,dead trigger 2,Leo's fortune and many more games resides on my storage ^_^ ).Handling all without any problems
5.RAM:- As you know you're getting 2 Gigabytes of RAM on this device and i must say ram is way more than enough for a user.I have around 82 apps installed on this phone including the built-in-apps and still there is 700-800 mb free space in RAM all the time.So it's fckin' cool guys! :)
6.Storage:- You're getting around 11 Gb free for user out of 16 gb internal storage.Besides that,one can expand it through sd card for upto 32 Gb!
Cons-
1. Display- The first & d formost con that i noticed in this device was the display.It really annoyed me at first coz sometimes white looks a lil bit yellowish and color production isn't accurate as it should be.So if you're not so concerned about colors,just ignore it.You myt also not notice it in the day to day usage.So not a big issue,atleast for me!
2. Heating issues:- Wasn't really an issue if you have asked me about the phone a week ago.Don't get me wrong,in normal usage you won't feel any heating problem on this device but when i play asphalt 8 for a long time,the screen panel do heats a little.Also,sometimes i have noticed that it gets warm while charging.So in case if it creates a problem for any of you,i mentioned it here.
#Would update my review as soon as i feel any change in its performance and usage.
#Give my review a thumbs up if it 's helped you in any manner.
Flipkart Selling Defective Piece
By VAIRAMUTHUon
Bought 16 GB, 2GB Ram, White Color Version, had some Display problem, (finger print smudge in the display).
Requested for replacement got got replacement piece in 3 days.
Replacement piece is also defective, filter like transparent shield is missing on the earpiece(top speaker grill area).
And found some sticker is pasted on the earpiece, which is not properly pasted,
Due to that when I call someone, ring sound is very horrible and i cant able to keep the mobile close to my ear. And audio quality is earpiece is most of the time is not audible(very crunchy).
Then again requested for the replacement, but they declined it for 2 times.
Then went to moto service centre, the checked the mobile, they found the earpiece defective.
Then again requested for the Replacement, but the refused to give replacement and gave refund.
i am absolutely disappointed with the flipkart.
From this incident i am having doubt whether flipkart selling 100% new product or they selling used or refurbished piece.
Recommendation for the Flipkart Buyers : Buy the mobile from flipkart within 1 month from the launch date, else wait for the new model to launch or just forget the flipkart buy it from retail store.
I won't recommend flipkart to my friends and relatives.

Moto G3 vs Samsung J5
By Prithviraj Sarkaron
Impressive specs and build quality, but when it goes against the J5 it's a tough choice so i went through a lot of research and used both the phones, here's my fast comparision
Build Quality- Moto G3(samsung has a plastic feel)
Display- Samsung for its super AMOLED display which has more saturation and vibrant colours
Camera- Moto G3 because of better optical utilization and better low light pictures but j5 has a better front camera
UI- Moto G3 hands down( pure android experience,no lag, no bloatware and a guaranteed update everytime)
Battery- Samsung(3000mah)
Speakers- Moto G3 (even with a single speaker it's louder than most phones)
Water resistant- Moto G3(plus point)
Now talking about specs, while both are almost identical, Moto G3 handles games better with no lag and heating because of its UI(heats up a little when on charge), while touchwiz uses up a lot of RAM which leaves about 500-800 Ram for other apps..it can only hold 4 apps while Moto G3 can hold 18 apps with ease!
Now Now there are small things like slight price difference,dual flash,front facing flash,4G LTE but thats up to you..
In conclusion i'll give Moto G3 8.5 and Samsung J5 an 8.
I bought G3 for its smooth UI,water resistance, gaming capability and a premium looking phone
If you want better resolutions,selfies and more battery life, go for the J5.
these phones are simply the best in range right now.
thanks for reading :)
Product returned, waiting to book a replacement...
By Harish Swaminathanon
This is my first mobile of Moto (I own an HTC 516 and my brother has a Moto E, and he has faced no problem with that till now. *Touchwood*). My first experience was good. The initial set up took some time but the function was smooth and not sluggish. Obviously I bought this for the features and my first check was the camera. Both the front and rear camera quality is great. I took a few snaps with the front camera with dimmed lighting and it came out nice. Overall think the phone stands up to whatever is said about it.
Don't wanna repeat the specs and give a boring comment on that. But think in this price range Moto has really given a good phone with good features.
And it seems all what I said is bouncing back on me and hitting me hard.
The video playback is sluggish and when I contacted the Moto help thru their online facility, the person said that it will be recurring and I need to follow a list of steps to clear cache on the phone. Now if the problem is recurring, they why can't they service the mobile? Or give a replacement?
Visited the Moto Service center. They said software needs to be updated. Put up my case to Flipkart and they have taken my mobile back and given a refund.
Thank you Flipkart.
Waiting to book another mobile but it seems to be out of stock at the moment (as on 14/9/15).
P.S: This is my first review and it may seem blunt but I am not a techie guy and so I have said what I felt at heart.

Moto G 3rd generation (Not to buy if you are highend user)
By Amazon Customeron
Overall performance is good.Runs on stock android(Lollipop 5.1.1). you don't find some customized user friendly features not available.Mobile internet on\off shortcut key missing in notification bar.I am moderate user battery performance nearly 36hrs.Power button not working some times to unlock the phone.Ear phones quality very poor, painful to ears, no comfort and call ending not working with ear phones button(Going to mute if button pressed).Camera is ok..ok.No restart feature like Samsung when power button pressed.Some sites are not opening in default browser(Page not available).Signal strength & Voice quality fine.Plastic body.
fan of Motorola series
By Vipulon
I am a fan of Motorola series. This is my second purchase for my sister.Good quality Camera good features compared to other mobiles in the same range.Only problem is that after some months the battery life will start degrading.
Disappointed by motorola
By Amazon Customeron
Good phone but have many bugs.I had returned this product after using 4 days.The notification light of the phone was continuously blowing .so I returned this faulty mobile.I think motorola should sell there phone after proper testing.Redmi note 3 or Lenovo k4 note would be better option then this.Just giving 3 star due amazon return service.

Awesome gadget of the year
By Prabhu Kanakarajanon
to be true i was trying to buy some phone for me ,( i had lumia 630 , 520 ) but was not satisfied or some or the other were lagging and didn't hitch me in ,
this was a hegemony in this range ,
Wait was over and am with a new gen ,
As far as 1st day is concerned ,
Pros
Battery is good,
camera is also good ,
Sound is excellent while playing mp3
slim design
Charger with extra usb port
Cons
the same old headphone
was expecting a metallic back cover in 3rd gen but :-(
has lots of hanging and overheating issues
By Flipkart Customeron
remeber that 8 gb phone has only 1 gb ram and only 3.7 gb of user memory. has many hanging issues. very poor performance compared to older versions
CAMERA
By Nilesh Somanion
it's being less than 24 hrs. of using this phone and camera is not working. Every time i use the camera it shows please switch of your phone and switch on it again. i do follow the steps but all in vain, pl resolve my problem ASAP.
motorola gen3 - poor experience as lock button not functioning smoothly
By Varunon
I was so excited to receive the new moto g3 but within half n hour of unpacking n using it found that the lock button is not working properly. I had to press hard to lock the phone as the button is inside the ph case instead of being protruding out unlike the volume button. I also observed that volume button and lock button are not of same metal. Lock button looks like badly fitted with groovy finishing.
Also, there is gap between the button and ph as there is light visible through the gap which makes you wonder how can moto g3 could be water proof
flipkart has promised to return and exchange it but it definitely creates an insecurity if we can trust these ecom cos
Call drop issue
By Tanmoy Ghoruion
I am really frustrated about this moto g 3rd gen.I am facing call drop issue in second sim. I have exchanged my first gen moto g with this and i am missing it already..There is a camera problem also in this device..
In fluorescent lamp yellow colour seems greenish. But in front camera it seems ok. Missing my first gen..:(

AWESOMEST phone you can get in this price range!!
By Ansupriya nairon
Hi all !! Greetings for the day...
I had to get a phone within budget of 10k- 15k. First was confused between many options like Lenovo k3 note, Samsung J7, MI, etc. Then this phone was launched, was so impressed by its features and specifications that I ordered for it, taking a chance. Got my MOTO G 3rd GEN phone on time and it was a good delivery by FLIPKART as usual ... After extensively using the phone Iam giving my reviews in order to help other guys thnking of purchasing this phone.
Display : 4.5/5 (Cool display and is equally good to veiw it from extreme angles)
Camera : 4.5/5 (Super awsm camera for this price range, and quick capture feature is also awsm. Selfies in low light also came out pretty well and good.)
Call quality : 5/5 (Clear, crisp and good call quality)
Build Quality : 5/5 (Amazing build quality, fits in ur hand and light weight as compared to other mobiles in this range)
UI: 5/5 (feathery smooth)
Battery Life: 4.5/5 (After fully charging the battery, used the phone to extreme extent but still it had some power left till the end of the day. Thus it would last for a day fairly, if fully charged)
Water proof: (Yes it is water proof, tested by placing it in water for some time, stil aftr taking it out, working fantasticly)
Screen : Thanks to gorilla glass, kept my phone in pocket with othr stuf, evn dropped it into bag full of stuff like keys, charger, compass, etc, but just wipe the screen and it seems as new evrytym. U wont need a flip cover for this.
Cons: Some of the settings are missing, but yet a smooth user interface makes up for all that :)
Go ahead folks, don't miss this cute thing..in such a good price.. MUST BUY !!
