One of my colleagues was lucky enough to survive the goof-off made by flipkart and has got his Mi-3 on hand today. Man, he’s become a Hero in a single day !
I can’t tolerate,....not just because all the girls are around him :D (for his phone), but also to the fact that Flipkart has reduced the price of Moto-G sharply. Moto-G is selling at 12K, which I bought at 14K not so long, just a few months before.
Got his Mi3 and experienced it to see how better it’s than my Moto-G. The look, the feel, impressive specs and of course the attractive pricing, certainly puts Xiaomi a step above Moto G. I accept Xiaomi-Mi3 easily wins Moto-G.
but a few reasons why I still like the Moto-G:
1. Unconventional UI: Mi-3 comes with their unique build of MiUi5 , which looks good- but a way different from what I see in Moto G. Moto G’s Android version is almost a stock Android interface with a very few things added by Motorola. But Xiaomi has added/modified a lot to make it unique. Not sure, how good the Chinese software build is :)
2. Software Update: Being a Google company, Motorola will be fast enough to give you updates. It comes with Android KitKat out-of-the-box, nowadays. It is a possibility that it will get the Android L update as soon as Google launches it. Don’t think Xiaomi will put efforts to keep updating. That’s not the way Chinese market works – they keep moving to a newer product, rather than an update of existing product.
3. Gorilla Glass: The rugged display was/is the first thing that attracted me towards Moto-G. My Moto-G is dust, water & scratch resistant. Have fully tested and proven by my daughter a 100+ times :)
4. Dual SIM: Whether you use or not, still the dual-sim has become an norm for India’s mobile market. , And I have seen many people using 2 SIMs very effectively too. Xiaomi has single SIM, that too old bigger normal SIM.
5. Cheap Sensors: I could feel a noticeable lag when changing the screen's orientation. In conservative power mode, there is also a delay when launching some apps. Moto-G is so smooth, incomparable in this counter.
Resemblance with iPhone 5S: Yes, Mi-3 looks a lot like iPhone 5s, front side in particular. Xiaomi must move away from any similarities with Apple. Samsung had [can’t write as “has” :) ]a very, very fat wallet and could withstand most of the Apple's lawsuit attacks. Xiaomi is not a company with such a big pocket, and if Apple decides to take them down, they will definitely be in soup.

Yes dude. Cheap Chinese phones can't come close to the quality design of Motorola
Shobhit dude, Not all Chinese phones are cheap . Xiaomi Mi3 is one of a kind at par with other known makers, still made it available under our budget
I'll always prefer a US brand moto over a Chinese one :)
