arpit, 19 May 2014Hv u ever used any xperia device u can't compare xprria dev... moreYes. I've used xperia devices in the past. I used an xperia ray before and it was awesome. Then I switched to xperia u. It was a horrible experience. The phone got only one update and that too was buggy as hell. The phone became laggy and I had to sell that. I was a blind Sony fan once but that phone changed my mind.

Arpit, I know a lot more about phones and I've used many phones. Plus if I am to choose a device now. It'd be xperia z2. I choose devices, not brands.

Did you see the link I gave you?? If not, I'm giving you once more. Read it and then only reply to me.

          asif, 19 May 2014My galaxy s4 having some battery back up problem from some ... moreMay I know what is the on screen time you get for the battery going from 100 to 0 in hours. Go to settings> battery and click the area containing screen. You'll get the time in hours. Tell me that when you go from 100 to around 0. Anything closer to 5 hr is good.

          Have a nice day

              raj, 18 May 2014No don't buy samsung products go for lg g2 it is far much b... moreI own both the s4 and g2 and both are EQUALLY GOOD DEVICES. Both have equal cameras which are equally good in daylight, g2 is slightly better in low light while s4 us slightly better at HDR and panoramas.

              Regarding screen s4 is better. Have you ever tried movie mode in s4. It's as natural as an LCD. And the IPS panel of lg g2 is a saturated panel. So please don't use artificial argument here. For a detailed comparison, read this link:

                raj, 18 May 2014No don't buy samsung products go for lg g2 it is far much b... moreI own both g2 and s4 and both are GREAT devices. Samsung isn't an idiot and s4 isn't crap in camera and screen. In camera, both of the devices are exactly equal and capture amazing amount of detail. The g2 us slightly better in night and s4 pulls in HDR and panoramas.

                Regarding screens, you can't know more than me. I am an expert in this subject. The LG G2 has a great and natural screen but is not accurate. It boosts the saturation to look punchy and uses a logarithmic scale of saturation instead of linear. It looks good nevertheless. The s4 can have more accurate and natural screen in movie mode. Just go to settings > display > screen mode and choose movie mode and you gave natural colours.

                For a detailed comparison between the phones, go to this link:

                      Jamaal, 18 May 2014Hi Shubham. What about the KNOWN ISSUES for S4 as below,... moreI already answered you. No need to post that twice.

So this is simply impossible. My camera takes less than 1 sec to open. So moto e should open the camera in -0.7 sec. That's amazing.

                        And PLEASE stop these fanboy fights here. I own a G2 and s4 and they are both great and EQUALLY good devices. And to those xperia fan arpit. Why don't you see some facts about your beloved xperia z in this link:

                          Performance – Faster In Day to Day Tasks Than A Galaxy S4

                          Delve more deeply into what powers the Moto E and you will find a dual core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chipset with Adreno 302 graphics. This won’t play the latest cutting edge 3D shooters, but is again a major step up from the competition. Most crucial is performance when navigating the operating system and surfing with the web browser is fast and smooth. In fact Motorola has a few stats worth bragging about when it comes to everyday tasks.
                          Compared to a Samsung Galaxy S4, Motorola claims the Moto E is:
                          1.1 seconds faster opening the phone to answer or make calls
                          0.9 seconds faster opening the browser
                          0.4 seconds faster returning to the home screen
                          1.7 seconds faster opening the camera.
                          Admittedly Samsung gets a lot of abuse for the lag on even its high end phones due to its extensive remodelling of Android with its TouchWiz user interface and custom apps, but Motorola sticks the knife in as the Moto E benefits from simply using stock Android 4.4 KitKat. Motorola also guarantees Moto E owners an upgrade to the next version of Android (5.0). Given it updated the Moto X and G to KitKat just 19 days after it came out, the company has a great track record here.
                          Note: the Moto E doesn’t have the Google Now Launcher homescreen (that is currently only available to Nexus and Google Play edition devices) but it can be easily enabled with this simple hack.

                                Chill out guys..its a forum not a wrestling arena. Change is constant, nothing is permanent. So go for any mobile u want. You will use it for 2 to 3 years at maximum if u are a gadget freak. Keep it simple silly ;-) the companies don't pay you for publicity. So just chill coz ur lifetime is enough to use all the cells.

                                      What about the KNOWN ISSUES for S4 as below, any solutions for them as well.

                                      1. When the user is in weak 3G coverage areas, the phone might show a 3G signal but fail to receive calls

                                      2. Users might observe slower download speeds even in good coverage areas

                                      3. You will not be able to do USB tethering on a computer with Mac OS

                                      4. You will not be able to find Flash player application on Google Playstore

                                      5. The phone will convert an SMS to MMS if the user enters more than 1600 characters (10 SMS's)

                                      6. LTE capability of the device is disabled on the phone and the phone will not detect or camp on any 4G network

                                      7. HD Voice is disabled in the software and hence users will not get HD voice

                                      8. Networks issues when users perform a manual network search and select a network other than 3

                                      9. Increased time spent on 2G networks while roaming

                                      10. Flash is not supported by this device, certain websites will not function correctly without Flash.

                                      11. The device will not camp on a 4G network if downloading or streaming started whilst on a H/H+ signal

                                      12. You may observe download failures when the phone is camped on a 4G network and a voice call is made or received from the phone

                                      13. When the customer is roaming outside of the UK and tries to enable tethering on a roaming network, the customer may not be able to browse on their phone and can only browse on the PC or device connected to their phone
