    3 Things You'll Hate About Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation

    Recently Motorola launched Moto G 3rd Generation along with Moto X Play and Moto X sport . Moto G 3rd Generation is a Mid Range Smartphone with Amazing Specifications and Design .



    Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation has amazing features which includes - Double Tap for Torch , Turn your wrist twice for Camera and again for Front Camera , The Phone is water resistant and more .


    3 Things You'll Hate About Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation


    I have been using Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation from 2nd of August and every thing is amazing except few things that I Hate about it -

    1. No Guest Mode -





    Android 5.0 Lollipop features a Guest Mode , which is excluded by Motorola in 3rd Generation Moto G . Guest Mode is very helpful and it can be used while giving your Smartphone for unknown or not so familiar person .

    Hence You can get Guest Mode by Installing Cyanogenmod 12.1 for Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation .

    2. No LED -




    Motorola has excluded LED in Moto G 3rd Generation , Hence Moto G 2nd Generation has LED light . Motorola has included Moto Display which is also Good , but LED is my first preference .

    Although There is a Hidden LED in Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation .




    3. Heating -

    Smartphone Heating is normal but Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation Overheats little bit while Playing High end games or while using the Smartphone for more that 1 hour .

    Although Heating is normal , but still ...




    Else This Phone is just amazing , Its the best Smartphone in this price Range .
