Flipkart Review

Flipkart is a pathetic place, despite ordering a mobile phone after full payment and paying for within a day delivery on Wed 18-March, I am still waiting to get the phone as on Saturday 21 march. Web update is funny and call center is even more funny they dont have any clue.

Its a cheap,cheerful and reliable phone.With such low price one wonders there must be something wrong with it but there isn’t. Now every phone has some pros and cons but in this case the cons are very few.
First i will talk about the enormous pros.

Design
The design of moto g is the replica of moto x.Its a tough phone with a good handy size and the back of the phone is a rubber like plastic with a dimple of motorola logo which makes it very comfortable to hold it.It also has a water repellent nano-coating .This doesn’t make it water proof, but at least makes it more resistant to the odd spill/splash.

Screen
One of the biggest highlights of the Moto G is its 4.5-inch 720p HD IPS LCD, which works out to a density of 329 pixels per inch i.e sharper than Apple’s iPhone 5s, which offers 326ppi.
It has also used Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on the Moto G to protect it from scratches which is usually found on premium devices priced at Rs. 30,000 and above.

Camera
It delivers pretty decent clicks with a 5 mp rear and 1.3 mp front camera with led flash and HD recording.It has a unique feature of slow motion video recording also with other features HDR and panorama.

Processor & Performance
The Moto G is powered by 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with Adreno 305 graphics and 1GB of RAM onboard.The performance is great.It doesn’t slows down even with 4-5 background applications running.Even when playing a heavy graphics game like Asphalt-8:Airborne it runs very smoothly.And when i performed a benchmark test by AnTuTu it recorded a score of 11,874 which is pretty close to big phones nexus 4 and Galaxy S III.

Software
One of the best features of moto g is that it has the lastest android version i.e 4.4 KitKat and that too with a stock android,stock edition users get the latest versions of Android OS immediately they are out, while customized users have to wait months – and sometimes a year (Ahem! Sony.. cough!) to get updates to their device.

Battery Life
The 2070 mAh seems low but actually it isn’t in the case of moto g.The battery life of moto g is pretty decent.With a normal usage it lasted about a day and with heavy usage like playing games,movies with wifi/3g enabled the whole time and calling for 2-3 hours it lasted for about 12-13 hours,which was not bad.

Cons
The only downside of moto g is that there is no NFC.Although NFC is a pretty cool tech but think about it even if it had would you use it.

Verdict
At this price point, no other phones offer an experience that is as good, so in that sense the Moto G is a game changer.I bought it and i definetly recommend you to get it.
