NAND Performance
The G2's NAND performance is relatively decent in random read and sequential read/write tests. Sequential read performance in particular is extremely good for a smartphone. Unfortunately random write performance is nothing special, and can't hold a candle to the Moto X thanks to Motorola's use of F2FS instead of ext4 for the user data partition.

Yup, my brother just bought this phone in Korea. It has both the microSD slot (upto 64 GB) and a replaceable battery (2610 mAh).UpSpin - Sunday, September 8, 2013 - link
or in the US are some expensive license fees for SD-Cards (HALA, https://www.sdcard.org/developers/licensing/) and stupid patents on removable batteries, which are less in other regions or non-existent at all.skiboysteve - Saturday, September 7, 2013 - link
wow the EIS is surprisingly good! Better than OIS for some. However I won't buy a new device without OIS... The non blurry photos without having to be perfectly still is amazinggreywolf0 - Saturday, September 7, 2013 - link
TherThere's something wrong with your OIS test for the Lumia 1020. It is way too jittery.Novulux - Saturday, September 7, 2013 - link
I am about ready for a new phone, and frankly, I'm having a hard time deciding between the LG G2, Xperia Z1, and the Xiaomi MI3. :Oabrahavt - Sunday, September 8, 2013 - link
I am in the same boat. Waiting for the Nexus 5 before deciding.PC Perv - Saturday, September 7, 2013 - link
I am usually critical of AT's smartphone coverage but for this one I have nothing much to fault for. Thank you for thorough review. oh and I don't think 3D Mark is a legitimate benchmark. I think AT can do away with it.wanderer000 - Saturday, September 7, 2013 - link
Holy crap, the image stabilization on the Moto X is amazing......Just wish it had the image quality of the Lumia 1020 :/madwolfa - Saturday, September 7, 2013 - link
GLBenchmark has always favored Apple devices heavily. I don't understand why is it still included in the tests?Spunjji - Monday, September 9, 2013 - link
If that bias also reflects developer bias then it's relevant.
