Comparison: lg nexus 5 vs motorola moto g

The LG Nexus 5 and Motorola Moto G Smartphones are phones that integrate the Google operating system: Android. It should be noted that the Nexus 5 being a new terminal on the market, incorporates Android 4.4 Kit Kat, while the Motorola Moto G presents the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean version, although its update to KitKat is expected in January next year. year. The two terminals can be included in the mid-range and have excellent value for money.

Let's start by evaluating the screen of both Smartphones. The Nexus 5 has a remarkable 4.95-inch Full HD, with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. For its part, the Motorola Moto G has a 4.5-inch screen and has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, which gives it a density of 329 ppi. While the Nexus 5 has anti-scratch Corning Gorilla glass protection, the Moto G defends itself against shocks thanks to its "Grip Shell" or "Flip Shell" casings, which completely enclose the device.

Something that is also worth comparing between the Nexus 5 and Note 3 is the size and weight. The Nexus 5 measures 137.84 mm high × 69.17 mm wide × 8.59 mm thick and weighs 130 grams. On the other hand, the Motorola Moto G has dimensions of 129.9 mm high x 65.9 mm wide x 11.6 mm thick and weighs 143 grams. We see how the thickness of the phone is greater in the second Smartphone, something that also happens with its weight. In the internal memory you can also see the difference between these two phones. Although both devices have an 8GB model on the market, the Nexus 5 with the largest existing capacity is 32GB, while the Motorola counterpart has 16GB. Both lack a microSD card slot.

Now let's talk about its processors: while the Nexus 5 has a 2.26 GHz quad-core Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 soc, the Motorola Moto G has a CPU from the same manufacturer, but an older version: Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, also from 4 cores but at 1.2 GHz. The RAM memory also varies between one model and another: the Moto G has 1 GB of RAM and the Nexus 5 has 2 GB of memory.

As for its GPU, the Adreno 330 graphics chip is present in the Nexus 5, which promises better graphics, as well as faster processing. We cannot say the same for the Moto G and its Adreno 305.

From the connectivity it is only worth noting that the Moto G model does not offer LTE support, while the Nexus 5 does support it natively.

In the race for the best megapixels, the Nexus 5 is victorious, at least with its 8 MP rear camera and 3264 x 2448 pixel resolution, although it also boasts a 2.1 MP front end. The Motorola Moto G has 5 megapixels on its rear lens and 1.3 megapixels on its front camera. Both Smartphones share capture modes such as Burst Mode, panoramas, etc., in addition to having an LED Flash, although in the case of the Motorola model, it is not of great power, something that will be noticed in the low light snapshots. Both models are capable of recording Full HD 720p video at 30 fps.

As with the camera, it also happens with the autonomy of the battery. While Nexus 5 has a 2300 mAh battery capacity, the Moto G has a somewhat lower autonomy, of 2070 mAh, although finally the duration of the active terminal will depend on the handling given by the user, since the difference between the two is limited.

Let's talk about money: the price of the Nexus 5, depending on its version (16 GB or 32 GB of internal memory), you can find it right now for 360 and 400 € respectively, something that is not bad for the quality of this mid-range.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Comparison: Motorola Moto E vs Nokia Lumia 520

The Motorola Moto G is an affordable terminal for practically all budgets, with its scarce 185 euros as the official starting price, although it may be slightly cheaper depending on the promotion (operator, rate, etc.) that we choose at the time of buy. However, we can still find it cheaper if we browse the buying and selling websites a little and we come across the famous company Amazon, where they offer it to us in presale and free for 175 euros. We can conclude by saying that it is an acceptable performance phone at a more than affordable price.
