A few days back, the Moto X was launched in India and that resulted in people of twitter started comparing it with the nexus 5 already available because there is not that much price difference between these two but the moto x is still cheaper than the nexus 5 by 6k and actually i believe that's a big pro! But we are going to compare these two face to face with no price issues at all and see which is better! I did an article where the moto x was a better value for money phone, you can check that out here but we are going to see who is actually the best neglecting the price!
DESIGN.
Moto x has a really subtle, compact and handsome design for a phone with a rubberized back and is curved a little so that it fits very comfortably in hands! On the other hand, nexus 5 is a little thicker with matt finish back and is absolutely flat! This phone is actually really light and feels solid at the same time, that's a good thing! The moto x comes in a lot more color options including wooden, blue etc while the nexus 5 is limited to black and white! The design of both phones are remarkably really good but i am going to give a slight edge to the moto x because of its rounded shape that feels better than the flat body of the nexus 5!
DISPLAY.
The moto x has a 4.7inch 720p AMOLED ( 312 ppi pixel density) display which looks really nice and has great outdoor visibillity! While on the nexus 5, we have a 5inch 1080p LCD (445 ppi pixel density) display which is ultra sharp and way better than the moto x! So the nexus 5 wins here!
PERFORMANCE.
When it comes to performance, you will notice absolutely no lags in both the phones but when you compare them head to head, there's a different result!
The moto x rocks a Moto X8 chip consisting 8 cores including a 1.7ghz dual core snapdragon s4 pro processor and adreno 320 assisted with 2 more cores for voice and language recognition system! The dual core sounds pretty bad but the performance is really good and you should not underestimate it on that!
The nexus 5 on the other hand consists of a 2.3ghz quad core processor and adreno 330 which performs like a beast! The winner in this category no doubt the nexus 5! I am not saying that the moto x is bad but when you compare both the phones together, nexus 5 is a clear winner!
SOFTWARE.
On the software side, there's not much difference between these two! The Moto x runs on near pure andoid running android 4.4.2 and nexus 5 runs on pure android with the same android version!
When we talk about future updates, the nexus 5 gets a slight benefit and will receive updates a slight earlier than the moto x!
CAMERA.
The camera of both the phones are not really good and both are average performers!
But still we will decide a winner! Moto x consists of a 10MP lens with a single LED and can record videos up to 1080p! The nexus 5 has a 8MP shooter with single LED and can record videos up to 1080p!
When we talk about quality, the nexus 5 takes the points, don't get me wrong, i know there are more pixels on the moto x but the quality is still better on the nexus 5! But when we talk about shutter speed, the camera on the moto x is way faster than the nexus 5!
As I said before the quality is average and non satisfactory on both and if you love taking photographs from your phone, you should probably consider something else!
ADDITIONAL FEATURES.
Now when we talk about additional features, the moto x rules here with the touch less controls and active display! The only thing nexus 5 can do is reply with the call of "ok google" only when it is turned on! The one feature that you get on the nexus 5 is the wireless charging which is pretty helpful at times! But still the moto x wins here!
BATTERY LIFE.
Now by reading all these stuff, you probably be wondering hows the battery life then?
There's not really difference in size as the moto x consists of a 2200 mAh battery and the nexus 5 has a 2300 mAh battery! By looking at the sizes, you would probably think, the nexus 5 will be better but i should stop you right there as the moto x wins here with much higher battery life! On moderate usage, moto x without any problem will get you a day or even more if you are a light user but on the nexus 5, you can hardly get a day out of it!
TO SUM UP..
Both the phones are awesome in their own fields, the moto x is a phone that can impress at lot more levels other than playing high end games like active display, touchless controls or even the battery life! But if you want the top notch specs and remain ahead in android updates, go for the nexus 5!
My personal choice? My personal choice will be the moto x with better features and battery life! Nexus 5 is not bad but there are some quarks that concern me and that's why my recommendation will be the moto x!
So that's it for today's article! HOPE YOU LIKED IT!
