In fact, we would be comfortable recommending it to any smartphone user providing the limitations of no LTE network and no 32GB (or higher) option don't clash with their needs. While the Moto G won't ever win this sort of head-to-head comparison, it does come out pretty favorably. We had to look because we want to see the direction the new Motorola is going at both ends of their product line, and because on some level the Moto X and the Moto G very much resemble each other. We're not going to pretend that these phones should be compared against each other on any real level. It's also very likely that Motorola wants to keep a few features for its high-end device. Touchless Control requires a specific microprocessor dedicated to its operation (this is why S Voice kills your battery and Touchless Control doesn't), and Active Display works best with an AMOLED display so that only a portion of the screen is active. With the Droid Mini as the outlier, both these features are hardware dependent. The tangible difference is the addition of two features on the X that the G lacks - Touchless Control and Active Display. The Moto G is expected to be updated in January, and we have no reason to doubt that Motorola can do just that - they did tame the beast that is Verizon, remember? But to be honest, on the user-facing side you'll see little difference.

They work as designed, and the experience is the same across both devices.įor starters, the Moto X was the first phone to KitKat, so it's running Android 4.4. Both the Moto G and the Moto X have Moto Assist, Trusted Bluetooth devices, Motorola Migration utility, and a custom camera app.
Think "stock" Android, with no bells and whistles, then add in a few well-made bells and whistles, and that's what Motorola now delivers. Woodside and Soni said as much in Brazil when the announced the Moto G.
Moto x moto g software#
Motorola's new software mantra is to follow parent company Google's lead, make "useful" additions that don't compete with already-supplied core services, and deliver phones with software that doesn't make the phone run poorly. The X8 computing system inside the Moto X is clearly superior, but most of the time you'll never notice it. If pressed, I would say the Moto G performs about as well as the Nexus 4, until you put a big load on the system, like downloading a list of apps from Google Play. The Moto G is no Nexus 5 (or Moto X for that matter) when it comes to being speedy, but it's perfectly fine and rivals the mid-year 2013 flagships like the HTC One or Galaxy S4 for responsiveness, fluidity and smile-factor when using it. Other than these obvious differences, we need to talk performance. We also know that would make for a phone more expensive that what we have. It would have been nice to see 32GB or even 64GB of storage on the G, since it is geared towards emerging markets where there isn't a consistent network connection. The Moto G comes in an 8GB or a 16GB version, while the Moto X comes in 16GB or 32GB versions. Internal storage mirrors the price point. The Moto X has been engineered to work with the US carriers LTE networks, but the G is strictly p enta-band HSPA+ 14.4 tri- or quad-band HSPA+ 21 (depending on model). The Moto G gets a tip of the hat for having such a good screen on a budget phone, but the Moto X has an AMOLED screen for a software feature which we'll look at in a bit. "Better" may be a result of the LCD versus AMOLED situation, where everything that's not black looks brighter and clearer, or the screen may just be really good. The screen on the Moto G is a little smaller, and it's a little better.

The Moto G has a 4.5-inch LCD at 720p (329 ppi). The Moto X has an 4.7-inch AMOLED screen at 720p (316 ppi). We'll have a look at the major differences right here. If you're a spec guy, go on and do that then come back.
