Two recently unveiled smartphone products from Samsung and Motorola are catching the interest of consumers nowadays, but which one of them is worthy of the hype?
Early this month, Samsung released its latest flagship phablet device called the Galaxy Note 5, and it features several high-end specs that shows a lot of improvements over its predecessor. The device began selling in authorized retailers on Aug. 21.
Meanwhile, Motorola launched the Moto X 2015 in late July, but the device will be shipped in retail stores beginning Sept. 3.
With the two new phablet products in the market today, which large-screen smartphone should consumers spend their hard-earned cash on?
In terms of measurement, both devices have exactly the same size. Both have 5.7-inch display screen. They also run using the same Android 5.1.1 Lollipop mobile operating system. But aside from those, the other features of the two devices vary.
Samsung's latest-generation phablet comes with an Exynos 7420 octa-core processor, a whopping 4 GB of RAM, as well as a selection of built-in non-expandable storage capacity in 32 GB, 64 GB, or 128 GB variants. The device is also equipped with a 16-megapixel primary rear camera and 5-megapixel front-facing snapper that can be used for video calling and taking selfie shots. It also comes with a non-removable 3000 mAh battery.
The third-generation Moto X, on the other hand, comes with a Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor, 3 GB of RAM, as well as 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB internal memory space options that can be expanded up to 128 GB using the built-in microSD slot. The Moto X Style, also known as the the Moto X Pure Edition in the U.S. market, comes with a 21-megapixel primary rear-facing shooter with a 5-megapixel front-facing secondary camera. The new version of the popular Moto X smartphone also has a non-removable 3000 mAh battery.
With all these specs in mind, users will just have to choose which specs are more important to help them decide which of the two they should purchase.
