Moto E is already a blockbuster in the smartphone market but how it stacks up against the Nokia X which was appreciated too? Let's find out in my in depth comparison of the Nokia X and the Moto E!
DESIGN AND BUILD.
One of the key features of the Nokia X is its design that is the traditional Nokia polycarbonate build that feels great and is eye catchy at the same time but the Moto E is not bad looking either with its curved design that is extremely comfortable!
Both the phones are build greatly but I think the Nokia X looks much more eye catchy, so I am going to make Nokia X the winner here!
DISPLAY.
The Moto E comes with a 4.3-inch display which is not only bigger than Nokia’s 4-inch display but also offers better display resolution with higher pixel density. The Moto E qHD display with 960×540 pixels resolution and a pixel density of 256ppi, while the Nokia X sports a WVGA display with 480×800 pixels resolution pushing out 223 pixels per inch.
The Moto E unsurprisingly is better than the Nokia X on paper and in real life too!
Apart from that, the Moto E’s display also has Gorilla Glass 3 protection which is absent from the Nokia X.
HARDWARE.
When it comes to connectivity options, both devices come with Bluetooth, 3G and WiFi hotspot!
Moto E however gets the advantage of having Bluetooth v4.0 over Nokia X Bluetooth v3.0!
Both the smartphones include 4GB of internal storage that can be further expanded to up to 32GB using a microSD card. This is the first time Motorola is offering such a feature, as it is missing from the Moto G and the Moto X. This round then is a tie.
Another aspect where the Moto E gets the advantage is the rough and tough category because of the nano coating to protect is against the accidental splash of water, it also boasts features that add value to the phone.
There's another area where Moto E outruns the Nokia X is the HSDPA speed which is 21Mbps on the Moto E against the much slower 7.2Mbps on the Nokia X.
When we talk about battery life, Nokia X runs on a removable 1500mAh against the Moto E non removable 1980mAh which is bigger but not that better!
Both phones can equally give you two full days on moderate usage but because of the Removable functionality of the Nokia X, I will give it the edge here!
SOFTWARE.
Software is the field where these both phones differ a lot, they are both android devices but the Nokia X features a forked android software.
Nokia has gone for a completely new interface, which borrows elements from Asha and Windows Phone phones, and has also replaced Google’s services with that of its own or Microsoft’s.
While some of the apps are present on Nokia’s app store, others have to be installed from third party app stores and the process is not very user friendly. The Moto E, on the other hand, offers Android 4.4.2 KitKat out-of-the-box, and that in a near stock form. Motorola has also guaranteed software updates at the earliest after their announcement. Clearly, the Moto E gets an edge over the Nokia X when it comes to software and UI.
PERFORMANCE.
Performance is all that matters when it comes to a smartphone but it's not that great on all phones.
Nokia X runs on a slower 1 GHz Dual-core Cortex-A5 backed up with Adreno 203 with 512MB RAM while the Moto E runs on a much faster 1.2 GHz Dual-core Cortex-A7 backed up with Adreno 302 with double RAM!
While the Nokia X almost never lags, Moto E is a lot faster whether it is multi-tasking or HD gaming.
Moto E wins again here.
CAMERA.
Both phones are awful when it comes to camera performance and both lack a LED flash and a secondary camera for selfies and occasionally video calls.
Moto E features a 5MP fixed focus camera that is decent in sufficient lighting but fails completely in low lighting.
Nokia X on the other hand comes with a 3MP camera that is also fixed focus and awful too!
Both phones are good in decent lighting but in low light, both fall apart!
If you are looking for a better camera, these phones are not for you.

TO SUM UP..
Bottom line is that the Moto E is better than the Nokia X in almost every aspect and it's the clear choice for a low end android, simple as that.
