As we have done with the Aquaris 4, now is the time to submit its older brother, the Bq Aquaris 5, to analysis. The Moto G, a mid-range terminal much appreciated by the Professional Review team, is measured in this occasion with another mid-range device that bears the Marca España flag.

Both also have a front camera, in the case of the Bq is VGA with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, while that of the Moto G has 1.3 MP. Video recording is done on the Moto G at 720p and 30fps, while the Aquaris has not transcended its resolution. Possibility of video calls and self-portraits.

Author's Conclusion: In my opinion, the Motorola Moto G is my favorite of the two. Smaller screen, but with better resolution and more updated Android. Although his camera is not very remarkable, I personally am not taking many photographs. Its smaller size is also a point in its favor in my opinion.
