Motorola Moto G2 Successor is Better than the Apple iPhone 6S, According to Some Critics!

The successor of the Motorola Moto G2, which is called as Moto G3 or Moto G (2015), was released to the market late in July this year, as another entry by the American handset maker to the budget smartphone segment of the retail market.

Some critics say that the Moto G3 is actually a better handset than the Apple iPhone 6S because the budget smartphone can be used for a lot of things other than make a call or send SMS messages with nary a hassle. It can be used to listen to music, watch videos, a navigation tool when on the road, read PDF files and e-books, download files, read e-mails, make file attachments to e-mails, editing, merging documents, and other functions.

While the iPhone 6S can certainly do the same functions, it is not as seamless as it is on the Moto G3. Apparently, the iOS 9 has made it a little more tedious to do all those functions on the iPhone 6S compared to doing it on the Moto G3. And that is the reason why the budget handset is considered by critics as a better smartphone compared to the iPhone 6S, details India Today.

Hobbled by its software

Accordingly, the iPhone 6S has great hardware but it continues to be hobbled by its software, referring to the iOS 9, which lacks proper file system.

Although Apple has attempted to open up its operating system a bit, it is still limited when compared to Windows, Android or even the Mac OS X. And that is the reason why that despite a great-looking iPhone 6S, its OS simply makes life a little difficult for its users.

For instance, in an Android phone like the Moto G3, if a user wants to play a song on his smartphone from a computer, he can just connect the phone to the PC and copy-paste it. But on the iPhone, it cannot be done like that. And everything holds true for all other files needed to be played or viewed on the iPhone.

While Apple may claim it as a security feature to protect the iPhone and other iOS devices from malware, bugs, and viruses, the truth of the matter is that the American tech giant simply wants to monitor its device users and their preferences. In that way, it is able to create a database of information which it can then use in upgrading its device or developing new ones in the future.

Reigning the budget smartphone segment

Since its official launch to the retail markets late in July, the Moto G3 is reportedly dominating the budget smartphone segment, notes Neurogadget.

Compared to its chunky predecessor, the Moto G3 is quite refined. While its specifications are not much of a leap forward, but the build quality is quite excellent and the number of features has also been enhanced.

The Motorola Moto G3 also comes with two storage and RAM options. It has a model that comes with a 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage and a variant that features a 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. But as expected, the bigger version is more expensive.

The Motorola Moto G3 is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset, which clocks at 1.4 GHz. It is fast in both RAM versions. Web pages are loaded fast, and there is a minimal stutter. However, multi-tasking takes a hit because games and applications are loaded much slower on the 1GB version, compared to the 2GB variant. Both phone models are easily able to handle the games on the Google Play store.

The 3rd generation of the Moto G also comes with 2,470 mAH of battery and runs with stock Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box. It also comes with a clean and simple UI to make Motorola’s features unique.
