Motorola Moto G 3rd Gen : Before and After Marshmallow Update

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 10, 2016       

Moto G 3rd Generation ( AKA Moto G 2015 ) comes with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and Recently Motorola updated it to Android 6.0 Marshmallow ( Stock Pure Android ) .

Marshmallow update enhanced Moto G 3rd Generation but there always 2 sides ( Good and Bad ) of everything !

So here's is a full review of Moto G 3rd Generation : Before and After Marshmallow Update -

User Interface -

Motorola only uses Stock Android , So Android 5.0 Lollipop and Android 6.0 Marshmallow are almost identical in terms of User Interface .

In fact According to performance , Marshmallow is more smooth over Lollipop . In addition to , Marshmallow has new animations , new Launcher  , System UI tuner , Now on Tap and many more changes over Lollipop .

USB Computer Connection -

USB Connection Options Lollipop Vs Marshmallow ( Moto G 2015 )

In Lollipop We have only Two options while connection Moto G 3rd Generation to Computer , i.e Media Device (MTP) and Camera (PTP) .

While in Marshmallow We will be having Advance options while Connection our Smartphone to Computer , i.e Charging , MTP , PTP and MIDI .

After Updating Moto G 3rd Generation to Marshmallow One will not be able to access External Sdcard through Computer ( It Might be a bug ). 

Solution - Format your Sdcard ( External ) and then try accessing it through Computer .

AnTuTu Benchmarks -

Moto G 2015 5.1.1 Lollipop AnTuTu Benchmarks

Moto G 2015 6.0 Marshmallow AnTuTu Benchmarks

After updating Moto G 3rd Generation to Marshmallow , Performance , RAM optimization , CPU Floating Point Performance, 2D 3D Graphics Performance and SD card read-write speed has improved .

There is no lagging , performance is improved and Applications / Games are opening a bit faster after updating to Marshmallow .

Geek Benchmarks -

Geekbench 3 Lollipop Vs Marshmallow ( Moto G 2015 )

Geekbench 3 is used to measure the full potential of device's processor , Marshmallow really increased the performance as well as potential of Moto G 3rd Generation .

Battery -

Battery Life Lollipop Vs Marshmallow ( Moto G 2015 )

Moto G 3rd Generation takes approx 2 hours 10 minutes to get fully charged from 1% to 100% on both Android Lollipop and Marshmallow .

After Marshmallow update the Battery life got terrible , Battery will be draining a lot faster than Lollipop after Marshmallow update . It can be seen that WIFI is eating a lot ( approx 40% ) of Battery in Marshmallow .

On Android 5.1.1 Lollipop ,When Charged Battery to 100% , Battery lasted for 1 day, 7 hours, 26 minutes , After a normal usage .

In Marshmallow it lasted only for 1 day, 1 hour, 3 minutes . 

Dialler -

Dialler Lollipop Vs Marshmallow ( Moto G 2015 )

The new Marshmallow Dialler has some advance settings and new Recents Style , that is better than Lollipop's Recents . 

Pros and Cons of Marshmallow update on Moto G 2015

Pros -

• Smooth UI
• Better RAM management
• Now on Tap
• Expandable Storage 
• Advance USB connection Options

Cons -

• Battery life is terrible 
• Can't access Sdcard from PC ( Though it can be fixed )
• Double Chop For Torch Isn't working that easily !
• No option to Mute Camera Shutter Sound .

Marshmallow is good , but not for Moto G 3rd Generation ! Moto G 3rd Generation was always better in Lollipop . All One wants is a great battery life and For now Marshmallow can't provide that . May be that will be fixed in 6.0.1 Update . 

All I can say 5.1.1 Lollipop was better than 6.0 Marshmallow on Moto G 3rd Generation ! 

Comment below , whats your experience with Android 6.0 Marshmallow on Moto G 2015 !

Motorola Mobility isn’t going away !

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 09, 2016       

Yesterday we and many other blogs posted that Lenovo would be phasing out the Motorola name .



Today, on their official blog, Motorola posted that " Motorola Mobility isn’t going away , Motorola and Lenovo Will just work Together in this endeavor .

Motorola Mobility Will remain the Central Part of  Lenovo’s corporate architecture .



Here's the main Statement from Motorola - 

Now, as we have to think more holistically about our entire smartphone portfolio, we’ve made the decision to focus our marketing efforts on “Moto” and “Vibe” as our hero smartphone product brands globally. At the same time we are not abandoning the iconic Motorola brand. Although it will not be the focus of our marketing, it will continue to be used on packaging and elsewhere, so as to ensure that the rich history and association is never lost. The legacy and the goodwill associated with the Motorola brand will also live on through our licensees.


We also will now use the Lenovo brand to the fullest as we participate in one of the most competitive businesses in the world. Lenovo was recognized last October as one of Interbrand’s top 100 global brands. We are one of the few technology companies that can offer people a complete PC + tablet + smartphone experience and we see that as a major competitive advantage.

5 Question's Android Users Always Ask

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 02, 2016       

Android isn't that difficult to get grips with , but that doesn't mean that every New or Old Android user are always able to find their way through it !



Here are some annoying questions with Answer that Many Android Users ask !

1. When My Smartphone will get New Android Update ?

No one knows when Your Smartphone will get New Android Update . It all depends on your Smartphone Company , when they will roll update ! 

Leaked information are correct about update's ( Not always ) . All you can do is to wait for the update or Install Custom Rom .

2. Which Antivirus will protect my Android Phone ?

Antiviruses are of no use on Android Smartphone's , But now many Antiviruses comes with a easy-to-use backup features for user’s data, remote wipe in case the phone gets lost, etc. 

Else Once again " Android is a safe OS and it don't need Antivirus " .

3. How to Extend Battery Life ?

Battery life can only be improved by uninstalling useless applications ( That eats battery ) . Also Lollipop and Marshmallow comes with inbuilt battery saver . 

All battery saving apps are useless .




4. How to Increase RAM of my Android Phone ?

Picture Credits - AndroidPit

How can someone ask such question ? Ok , so RAM cannot be increased in an Android Smartphone ! RAM is a Hardware part which cannot be increased or decreased ( In a smartphone ) .

You can only free the RAM by Clearing some Running apps , disabling some useless apps , using no animation ( Developer option > No Animation ) .




5. My Android Smartphone Hangs a lot ! What to do ?

• If you are using a Samsung Smartphone than your Smartphone will hang a lot because of heavy Touchwiz.

       All you can do is - Disable preinstalled applications .

       For Advance users - Root , Install Cyanogenmod or AOSP and        enjoy .

• If you are using a Smartphone with Stock Android Then all you can do is to - Remove Facebook Application , disable useless apps .

These are the Only Real answers to your Questions .If you will surf Google you can get many fake results on How to Increase RAM , How to update your phone and more ...



Still having some questions ? Comment below , we will try to solve them too -
