Finally found a real hands on review of this phone after a month of searching ....and i was aspecting if this phone is supporting moto gestures or not anyway i liked ur hands on review :-)
Nope. None of that, sadly. It has a kind of "Lenovo ROM" right now, at least on the chinese version. I have been hearing, there will be a very close to stock ROM for the "international" version, that is soon launching in UAE. Hope I can get this to work on my device, as that will not only have Google services and apps, but also the Moto specific features.
I just. Got this phone yesterday. Mine has problems. When I unlock it, it lucks again with a notification that I must press the volume bar twice to stop pocket calls. If I just unlocked it is not in my pocket. This is a nuisance because that screen doesn't always go away after pressing volume bar and I have missed incoming calls. Do you have any idea as to how to get rid of that screen permanently. This phone also hangs up in the middle of calls. I am not happy with the phone so far. Can you help?
MOTO M or XPERIA XA Ultra? I know it's no where in the same price range, but with the RAM and Internal Memory specs being higher in MOTO M would it be a wise decision to go for the MOTO? Please Suggest.
I just purchased 2 Moto 4G Plus that's on the way, may have to return them for this phone, you saying they cost the same? Also read the Moto M has compass sensors.
is the Moto m has Moto g4 plus features like double twist camera and double shake flashlight...?? and also does Moto m has gorilla glass..?? if yes what's the version of the glass
No Moto specific features at least on the chinese ROM used here, also, I couldn't install the Moto app, sadly. It does have GG, but I do not know which version.
I am currently testing battery life, just check my twitter (@rquandt), hint: it's bad, compared to Snapdragon based devices :( and I have no info on an indian release as of now.
I am running a battery test right now, with screen brightness set to 250cd/m2. It does use a 10 Watt (5V/2A) charger, so yeah, not really fast charging. Charging time is around 2 hours, I believe. Will have more on all this in a few days. Look at my Twitter for the results of battery tests run at full and then lowest brightness: twitter.com/rquandt/status/803026787718590465 twitter.com/rquandt/status/803153273456730112
does this phone has 2 stereo speakers at bottom or 1 at the top and 1 at bottom like i phone 7 and htc 10 has, does it has some protection corning gorilla glass 3-4
it has one single speaker at the bottom right. it does have Gorilla Glass, but Moto doesn't specify which version, at least in all official specs I have seen.
I miss old moto phones. yes they were more thick than the new ones but they had there special curved back and the in hand feel was like awesome but now the fuckin lenovo is ruined the reputation of moto
this actually looks a lot more like a classic Motorola (speaking of the G-Series here) than the G4 did. Same round back, same overall curved design, just mussing the dent in the back cause of the FP sensor. Other than that, this feels very much like a Moto G1/2/3 in a metal body.
It's running what I would call Lenovo Vibe UI for China. The indian version is supposedly coming out with a more stock Android, think more like the Moto G4 etc.
Abdul Navid it has "fast charge" (5W/2A). takes ~1:55 hours to fully charge. no "Quick Charge" because this is a MediaTek based device, not Qualcomm. Moto G4 takes just as long to charge with it's Quick Charge.
Here's my benchmark testing overview: th-cam.com/video/Ug3x7QcR7i4/w-d-xo.html Comparing Moto M vs Moto G4 Plus vs Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime vs Huawei Nova Plus and pitting the Helio P15 vs Snapdragon 617 and 625!
And here is my gaming test (incl. temperature check!): th-cam.com/video/Whl3qqVLWDY/w-d-xo.html featuring Dead Trigger 2, GTA: SA, Modern Combat 5, Asphalt 8, Riptide 2 - I couldn't get Nova 3 or most other games to work, because of the missing Play Store or Google Accounts, remember, this is a device from China!
I will remove the request as soon as it shows up in my TH-cam console, which might take a few days. Not showing up yet. Hope you learnt a lesson, as this is actually hard work!
I honestly don't care what they show ;) It definitely has an IPS screen, there is some IPS glow plus a tiny bit of backlight bleed. Both would not be the case on an AMOLED. So nope, this is not an OLED.
Himanshu Doley I have a G4+ and still no Nougat update, considering 80% of people who have Moto phones have a G series phone, they should've updated the G series earlier. Meanwhile the Z phones and Droid Turbos etc. have gotten 7.0 and are now getting 7.1!
There used to be a time when the G-series was the point of concern for Motorola. Now that Lenovo has taken over, they've slowly started to modify the classic Moto designs and have brought in their crappy UI onto Moto M. They're using MediTek chips too now :| . Lenovo spoiling what Moto has been known for and at this rate it's pretty possible for Moto to go down.
A will still keep my 3rd generation haven't been impressed my recent Moto brands rolling out , i think Lenevo is more focused on making money than making cool and genuine stuff
first video of Moto M on TH-cam :* thank you very much I was looking for it all over the Internet
First well detailed review on TH-cam !! Good Job Man !!
you are the first who uploaded unbox video on TH-cam...
Finally found a real hands on review of this phone after a month of searching ....and i was aspecting if this phone is supporting moto gestures or not anyway i liked ur hands on review :-)
it's not preinstalled, no corresponding settings, trying to get the APK to check if it maybe works that way.
Just tried the APK - get's killed by the annoying security app that is integrated into the chinese ROM that is on this device, sorry, no luck!
I miss Motorola😥
Himanshu Doley the quality is better in the software with this hardware n.n
Does it have the Motorola suit of apps like Moto display , Moto voice, double twist to launch camera & such ?
Nope. None of that, sadly. It has a kind of "Lenovo ROM" right now, at least on the chinese version. I have been hearing, there will be a very close to stock ROM for the "international" version, that is soon launching in UAE. Hope I can get this to work on my device, as that will not only have Google services and apps, but also the Moto specific features.
No. Even in International version, there is nothing :(
Grea job! not even in the China web sites I can find the unboxing of moto M!
will it have a menu screen on other countries?
Sir how snapdragon 616 is good with 3gb ram

please do the camera review especially front
Coming in the morning (think 7 am Kolkata time)
is the camera scratch proof or it has the same scratch problems like moto g4 plus
I just. Got this phone yesterday. Mine has problems. When I unlock it, it lucks again with a notification that I must press the volume bar twice to stop pocket calls. If I just unlocked it is not in my pocket. This is a nuisance because that screen doesn't always go away after pressing volume bar and I have missed incoming calls. Do you have any idea as to how to get rid of that screen permanently. This phone also hangs up in the middle of calls. I am not happy with the phone so far. Can you help?
please say that this photo comes with hybrid slot or dual sim+micro sd slot
It sure does. hybrid. nano SIM on slot 1, nano SIM or SD on slot 2.
Did you know when it will available in india?
Mate may I know y chainees versions does have Google pre installed?
you mean, why it does not? because of chinese laws. there are no phones with google services sold in China. none.
MOTO M or XPERIA XA Ultra? I know it's no where in the same price range, but with the RAM and Internal Memory specs being higher in MOTO M would it be a wise decision to go for the MOTO? Please Suggest.
how many digital x zoom available in this phone? sir
does the phone have a pre-attached screen protector apart from the one they provide in the box ?? revert ASAP
no. It has Gorilla Glass (not sure which version) but no pre-applied screen protector.
I just purchased 2 Moto 4G Plus that's on the way, may have to return them for this phone, you saying they cost the same? Also read the Moto M has compass sensors.
Esperando ansiosa pelo lançamento no Brasil ...Não demora não rsrsrs
is the Moto m has Moto g4 plus features like double twist camera and double shake flashlight...??

Nope, single speaker at the bottom right, no sound audible from the top at a distance. Just a basic speaker at the bottom right.
some battery test of moto m and fast charging supported or not charging time 0-100℅
I am running a battery test right now, with screen brightness set to 250cd/m2. It does use a 10 Watt (5V/2A) charger, so yeah, not really fast charging. Charging time is around 2 hours, I believe. Will have more on all this in a few days.

subtítulos al español, hoy en día no cuesta nada amigo.👍✋
Cortana is for windows os not android
Oh man. Lenevo is gonna ruin Moto, this is the beginning.
Zubin B. already ruined by not updating Moto g3 and other Moto phones
Himanshu Doley I have a G4+ and still no Nougat update, considering 80% of people who have Moto phones have a G series phone, they should've updated the G series earlier. Meanwhile the Z phones and Droid Turbos etc. have gotten 7.0 and are now getting 7.1!
Zubin B. Well Nougat is rolling out for g4 now. Don't worry
There used to be a time when the G-series was the point of concern for Motorola. Now that Lenovo has taken over, they've slowly started to modify the classic Moto designs and have brought in their crappy UI onto Moto M. They're using MediTek chips too now :| . Lenovo spoiling what Moto has been known for and at this rate it's pretty possible for Moto to go down.
Zubin B. thankfully the Z series wasn't spoiled
A will still keep my 3rd generation haven't been impressed my recent Moto brands rolling out , i think Lenevo is more focused on making money than making cool and genuine stuff
I hate the ui which lenovo has put in moto m
The Indian/International version has stock android. :) You can always download the Google Launcher as well
Launching in India on 13th Dec, 2016. ;)
good looking phone that's all
I like Lenovo. I love my moto z play & my moto g 4 plus.
