My Experience with the Moto G 3rd Gen
http://blog.grafixartist.com/my-experience-with-moto-g-3rd-gen
Android Design and Dev Blog. My Experience with the Moto G 3rd Gen. I was looking to get a new phone for a while and wasn’t sure what to get. I heard rumors about the Moto G 3rd gen (Moto G3), and decided to wait. The wait was worth it. This is not a typical speculative review, but rather my hands-on experience, a week after buying and using the phone myself. 🙂. Motorola even made the Moto G water resistant with a IPX7 rating. On paper it says the phone can withstand upto 1 feet for 30 minutes. ...The i...

Android Design and Dev Blog. Circular Reveal Effect like WhatsApp in Android. While sending a photo through WhatsApp, I noticed the ‘Attach’ button performs a neat Circular Reveal effect. My phone being JellyBean, I was surprised to see a Lollipop only transition. Thanks to a neat library, we can mimic the exact same thing for pre Lollipop too.
