Comparison: motorola moto g vs jiayu g4

Now it is the turn of the Jiayu G4 to fight a duel with the Motorola Moto G. Both smartphones include good features and are relatively affordable for the majority of the public, so we could say that the value for money is quite remarkable among these mid-range smartphones. Then the Professional Review team will proceed to detail each of the characteristics of these models:

Let's start by talking about its screens: the Motorola Moto G comes equipped with a worthy 4.5 inches, in addition to a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels with a density of 441ppi. The Jiayu G4 for its part has the same resolution, but it has a slightly larger 4.7-inch screen with IPS technology and a pixel density of 412.

Now we will take care of its processors.The Moto G has a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC and Adreno 305 graphics chip, while the Jiayu G4 has a 4-core MediaTek MTK6589 CPU at a 1.2GHz frequency. Its GPU is the PowerVR SGX 544MP model. The RAM that accompanies the Moto G is 1 GB, while that of the Jiayu G4 changes depending on the model, that is, the Basic or Basic Plus for example have 1 GB as well, but the Advanced model presents 2 GB. Both have Android Jelly Bean as the operating system, only the Moto G is covered by version 4.3 that can be updated soon and the Chinese smartphone has version 4.2.2 customized by themselves.

Let's continue with its design: the Jiayu G4 is 133mm high x 65mm wide. Its thickness is 8.2 mm or 10 mm depending on the model (already mentioned above), since it has different batteries, and its weight obviously also changes: from 162 grams to 180 grams. As we can see, the size of the Jiayu G4 is a little larger, something that does not happen in the same way with its thickness, in any case. Its weight, however, if it is greater in the case of the Chinese device, we assume once again that due to the capacity of its battery, which we will see later. As for the back cover of the Jiayu G4 there is nothing to highlight: it is made of plastic, resistant and cheap, and it is also attached by a metal frame to the front of the terminal, protected against bumps and scratches by the glass of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. On the other hand, the Moto G defends against accidents thanks to two casings available on the market for the device: the " Grip Shell " and the " Flip Shell "; The latter encloses the device completely, and it can be opened from the front, that is, the screen. Gorilla Glass 3 is present.

Internal memory: in the case of the Jiayu G4, the ROM does not go beyond 4 GB, although they are expandable up to 64 GB thanks to the micro SD card slot it presents. The Moto G has two models on the market: one of 8 GB and the other of 16 GB, but it does not have an SD card slot, being impossible to expand.

In the field of connectivity there is nothing especially to highlight: both smartphones have very common connections such as 3G, WiFi or Bluetooth.

As for the batteries we can say that the difference is very significant: the Moto G has a capacity of 2, 070 mAh, while that of the Jiayu G4 is much higher, at 3, 000 mAh (at least if we talk about its Basic Plus and Advanced models , since the Basic device presents one of 1850 mAh) making it one of the most outstanding things of the terminal, especially for those who are prone to play or watch many videos, which will have autonomy for a while.

Let's differentiate its cameras: the Motorola Moto G has a 5 MP rear sensor, while the Jiayu G4 is made up of a 13 MP Sony original CMOS sensor, so quality is guaranteed. Both phones also feature autofocus, panoramic mode or LED flash. As for the front lens, the Jiayu wins the battle again thanks to its 3 megapixels, more than ideal for video conferencing, while the Moto G has 1.3 MP. The recordings are of remarkable quality.

Let's proceed to finish comparing prices: the Motorola Moto G is a balanced phone in terms of quality-price, which is around 200 euros and we can choose whether to pay it in cash (on Amazon free and pre-sale for 175 euros) or through installments at negotiate with our operator. The Jiayu G4 is a more expensive terminal, depending on the model; Thus we find in pages like the one of pccomponentes that the G4 Turbo costs 224 euros and its brother Advance would cost 269 euros, even so it is a device that is very worthwhile in terms of benefits.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Apple could replace some iPhone 6 Plus with iPhone 6s Plus
