Weak signal?

[ben7337]

Has anyone noticed weaker signal on the Moto G vs other phones? I compared it to my GS4 at work and noticed in places te GS4 gets -108 to -109dbm the Moto G gets -112 to -117dbm, the data speeds on speed tests seem comparable, but that's a noticeably weaker signal which is surprising from a phone by a company known for great reception. I always felt the claims of weaker signal on some phones were mostly just crap, but now I seeing a noticeable difference. Has anyone else noticed this?

You saying that concerns me a little. My 2nd gen has always had a weaker signal than my wife's LG and weaker than her previous Huawei. I hope it isn't a trend for these phones, because there have been times when I can get no signal and she at least gets 1 bar.

I'm not 100% sure, but signal seemed to be at least 2-5dbm weaker if not more in various other places as well. I returned the phone today though because Motorola dropped band 12 from its specs.
