Hi all!

I'm a S3 Mini owner, and I'm in love with the Moto G (i'm thiking in give my s3 mini to my father and buy a moto G), but I'm wondering if it has enough ram. The s3 mini has 1GB too, and sometimes I think it's not enough for multitask and things like that. Won't be a problem with the Moto G? Does it has ram enough?

Sorry fot my english, and thanks in advance :D

I've had no issues, but I'm in the habbit of using the recents button and closing down things when I'm no using them.

So far, I cannot complaint about the ram I did not notice if there is lack of it. I usually kill the apps so it is fine. I used to have an iphone 4S with 512 m ram so 1 giga is a much better. I saw the mini down the price to £180 I guess to compete with the moto g, but man I am so liking it that I am thinking in buying another one.

The Moto G has about 900MB compared to 800MB with the S3 Mini.

1. What is the amount of ram usable? 900 MB?

2. how much memory does the system consumes after first boot?

3. how much memory does the system consumes after login into Google and Motorola account (but didn't install any app from Play Store yet)?

My current phone is Xperia X8 with 186 MB of RAM.

Yes, the Moto G has 900MB available RAM to the user and probably between 350 and 450 free after boot. It totally depends what you have installed.

I think it's quite comfortable with the 1G and I am used to 2G from my Nexus 7 - if nothing else, it saves on cost and battery

Most definitely 1G on this phone is enough, when I compare it with the Samsung S3 I have just got rid of, it holds up so well.....

my user experience is actually superior, the simplicity of near-AOSP is such an improvement over the Sammy, which was chock full of useless features and TW crap, for me anyway.....

and it was 1G RAM with quad-core processor, just like the Moto G!!!

Just some specs comparison from GSM Arena, not always correct, but one wonders why the Sammy cost almost three times more than this Moto did, it is just amazing....

After 2 weeks with the Phone I can only sa that I would pay 30£ more for 2gigs of ram on moto G and that would made it the best of the best.

    It's enough RAM for moderate to heavy usage. And Kit Kat will require less RAM :p
