What is so special in MOTO X and not in a MOTO G to be 24k worth? what feature or factor is worth the 8k?
Comparison
So rewording this whole thing:
What is so special in MOTO X's experience and not in a MOTO G's, to be 24k worth? what is worth the extra 8k?
@ayanavish; the reviews pointer all are when Moto X was launched, but there isn't a review comparison with the MOTO G after it was launched, meaning pitting both side by side. SO the user experience factor is still aint a justification for a premium of 8k-10k
I see a lot of statements that you see people who like iPhones make..
It is about user experience
you need to use it to see the difference
Sky is the limit, and we are never happyBtw if the user experience is good then i hope the same people do not scour XDA forums for a custom ROM.
Fair point, sale volume depends on a lot of elements.I am having a feeling that people here also will accept the fact that it is not always about specs but about the entire package and user experience is one of the main elements of that package.

Sadly, I don't see this doing as well as the Moto G in India. Too many idiots who get caught up in specs - "OMG dual core at 24k, better buy Micromax or Gionee". Take a look at the Flipkart 1 star reviews.
Best part. All roms will now work unlike moto g.- Single SIM only. No dual sim variant for India.
How many people looking in the flagship range will it tempt away is the question.Sadly, I don't see this doing as well as the Moto G in India. Too many idiots who get caught up in specs - "OMG dual core at 24k, better buy Micromax or Gionee". Take a look at the Flipkart 1 star reviews.

And it sells for virtually the same as in the US. When's the last time that happened ? Never. This is the lowest price you will get. If you wait 6 months longer it will appear in shops for the same too.
Kudos to Lenovo for trying innovative selling to keep costs down. Don't know if they can keep it up though. Right now its all about creating brand awareness. Moto is back and hopefully here to stay.[DOUBLEPOST=1395360028][/DOUBLEPOST]

the g made a strong impact in the midrange.

I don't know man. Too many blind fanboys who go by specs on paper and benchmarks when they just end up using their flagships for Whatsapp and Chrome. There are people on Flipkart telling you to pay a couple of thousand more to pick up a Galaxy S4 which is kinda ridiculous. It isn't any faster than the Moto X. In fact, it might be slower thanks to its heavy skin.
Sure if you want a really good camera, expandable storage and all that, the S4 is really attractive but people claiming that it's faster than the Moto X because it has "WOW Octa core" or whatever are just plain wrong.
lol, these people should be getting the g instead.I don't know man. Too many blind fanboys who go by specs on paper and benchmarks when they just end up using their flagships for Whatsapp and Chrome.
Just want to junk the bogus pricing argument. See that ? importing 2k units costs Rs.19k. Asking price is 5k more. 25% markup as opposed to the typical 100% markup as channel costs in India are expensive.There are people on Flipkart telling you to pay a couple of thousand more to pick up a Galaxy S4 which is kinda ridiculous.

Whether to go for S4 or moto, is a different argument. It would seem the x is facing stiffer competition than the g.Sure if you want a really good camera, expandable storage and all that, the S4 is really attractive but people claiming that it's faster than the Moto X because it has "WOW Octa core" or whatever are just plain wrong.
the iphone smoothness level is easy to understand, they don't try to push a 1080o screen. The Z1 compact is the closest you will get to iphone. Why ? current cpu tech pushing a 720p screen. Phone does not heat up as much when gaming. This is a phone that functions properly.The Nexus 5 is COMPLETELY lag free from what I saw - If you want iPhone levels of smoothness on Android, this is probably it. The UI feels incredibly fast.
S4 Pro wasn't enough to push 720p ?The Nexus 4 which I own is pretty darn smooth for what it is, but it's showing signs of aging. There's minor stuttering here and there when scrolling quickly through very large lists like Gmail or lots of unread text messages, but for the most part, it's really smooth. You probably won't notice unless you really try to make it stutter.
yes, moto x also has a S4 Pro & pushes 720pNow coming to the Moto X, every review or comparison I've read states that this device feels snappier than a Nexus 4 and slower than the Nexus 5 by a hair.
The voice activated features are the USP for X. Remains to be seen how well they are accepted. Will work when ambient sound is low otherwise not.Put the Moto X in between the N4 and the N5 and it could give you an estimate of how much smoother and snappier it would be compared to a Moto G. I would pay 8k more for this. Then there are some features which I find incredibly useful like the Active Notifications (yes you can get an app on other devices for this, but it isn't exactly the same), and the Touchless controls along with the Driving assist which automatically detects when you're behind the wheel and switches to voice based input. For me, it's a no brainer. It's also a 4.7" screen vs a 4.5" on the Moto G in a slightly more compact body. To me, that's huge.
Z 1 CHowever, it's also important to note that the difference between all of these devices could be a matter of mere milliseconds. Some people don't notice the difference at all while others do. I'm in the camp that does, so I'm always trying to find a device that's just that small bit more responsive and lag free. In the end, you'll have to see for yourself.
2. No as it came out last Aug2. Will it com with LTE on board in India ??
3. Now getting a nano-sim would be a pain.

Would wood backs would be available for sale separately?
S4 Pro wasn't enough to push 720p ?
Actually I would say the primary reason why people aren't buying X is because of G lol. The spec sheet of G says quad and people go "omg , why pay 10k more for dual core". These are the people who don't know much at all abt specs. If flipkart would have priced this 20k, I'm sure many would have jumped from nexus 4 to this or even from nexus 5. Motorola planned good pricing for X but they forgot how indian people thinks and are now facing the competition from G :/ anyways, it's still a win-win for them.
This, pretty much. I think 24k is a really fair price for this excellent device though, one that tries to change the way we use our smartphones. The last time a device tried something daring like this was the original Note with its massive screen and stylus. Although I'm not really a fan of the Galaxy line and their other lower end devices, I have to commend Samsung for coming up with the Note series. But then again, they kinda screwed us over by not giving us the Snapdragon Note 3. We get the Exynos version instead which seemed pretty laggy when I tried it.
What I'm worried about is that if the Moto X doesn't do too well in India, Lenovo may not bother with flagships in the future and only give us budget phones.
