MOTO X MOTO G ANDROID
What’s the fastest smartphone 2014: processor, web and graphics performance compared.Motorola Android 12 Update Rollout Text section You can compare the Motorola Moto G’s test results against all the phones we’ve recently reviewed in our article: Lastly, in GFXBench’s Egypt test the 2013 Motorola Moto G managed 27fps, which is faster than that of, for example, the Huawei P6 and HTC One X+. In SunSpider we saw 1504ms, putting it above handsets such as the Google Nexus 4, Asus Padfone 2 and Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. In Geekbench 3’s single-core test we recorded 334 points, and 1,162 points in the multi-core test. We haven’t been able to run benchmarks on the Moto E just yet, but we did run the 2013 Moto G through our usual Geekbench, SunSpider and GFXBench tests, and we expect to see similar performance from the 2014 Motorola Moto G. And while it might not be as fast as the Motorola Moto G, we wouldn’t really expect either smartphone to be what we think of as ‘fast’ below £150. Both screens are pretty decent, especially that of the Moto E given its price, but with the larger, higher-resolution panel the Motorola Moto G in the clear winner in this category.Īll that said, in our time with the Motorola Moto E we found switching between apps and home screens fast and fluid, with no lag. Indeed, at 540×960 pixels in resolution, the resulting pixel density of 256ppi is lower than the Motorola Moto G’s 1280×720 ‘HD’, or 329ppi, panel. If you think so then you’re probably muddling up ‘Quarter-HD’ and ‘Quad-HD’. And here’s where the marketing talk might catch out some consumers: the Moto E has a ‘qHD’ panel, which sounds good, right? Not really. Whereas Motorola fits a 4.3in display to its Moto E, the Moto G has a 4.5in panel. There is a good reason for the Motorola Moto G’s extra length over the Moto E: the screen. Motorola Moto G vs Motorola Moto E: Display

You won’t notice the barely there difference in weight – the Moto G weighs in a whole gram heavier than the 142g Moto E, but it’s also half a centimetre taller, at 129.9mm versus the Moto E’s 124.8mm. While the Moto G measures from 6- to 11.6mm in depth, the Moto E is a slightly fatter 6.2- to 12.3mm. The Moto E is slightly smaller and lighter than the Moto G, yet chunkier – that’s not unexpected for a budget smartphone.

We compare the Motorola Moto G and Moto E spec for spec to see which is the best budget smartphone. Now with a £60 difference between the two, Motorola could well have just stolen its own budget smartphone crown.
MOTO X MOTO G PLUS
Until yesterday, that is, when in stepped Motorola with the even cheaper £89 Moto E, plus an upgraded £149 version of its Moto G with 4G and microSD support. It’s the best-value smartphone we’ve ever seen and, accordingly, has been topping our budget smartphones chart for a while now.Īlso see: What’s the best budget smartphone. It’s not the fastest, nor the most feature-packed smartphone you can buy, but it does all the essentials and a lot more for as little as £129 (8GB 2013 model).
MOTO X MOTO G PC
Here at PC Advisor we’re massive fans of the Motorola Moto G. It truly looks to be the best budget smartphone money can buy. But it does do everything most people will require, and at a staggeringly good price. The Motorola Moto E might not have as good a screen or as much storage or processing- and graphics power as the Moto G, nor its support for 4G and microSD expansion.

Actually, what we’ve learned is that although the Motorola Moto G has the better specification, the Moto E’s hardware is sufficient that it will be a great fit for many users – and especially so when you consider that those in the market for a budget smartphone don’t expect to get ultimate performance. You might have come to our Motorola Moto G vs Motorola Moto E comparison review wondering why on earth we are comparing the specifications of two smartphones from the same company with a £60 price difference clearly the more expensive Motorola Moto G is going to best the £89 Moto E on the hardware front.
