Comparison: motorola moto g vs lg g2

This week we bring another interesting comparison between two terminals of different range, but that will raise doubts to more than one if it is more worth acquiring a mid-range terminal like the Motorola Moto G, with good features and relatively affordable for most of the public, or on the contrary, stretch the portfolio much more to get a device of the highest range, such as the LG G2. We will therefore proceed to detail each of the characteristics of both mobiles:

Let's start by talking about their designs: the Moto G has dimensions of 129.9 mm high × 65.9 mm wide × 11.6 mm thick and weighs 143 grams. For its part, the LG G2 has a size of 138.5 mm high x 70.9 mm wide x 8.9 mm thick and weighs 143 grams. As we can see, the size of the G2 is greater, although not its thickness, which the Moto G exceeds. Thanks to this, the two have the same mass. The plastic back shell that the LG G2 features doesn't quite live up to what you'd expect from a high-end handset, but the upside is that it's joined in perfect metallic harmony with the Gorilla Glass 3 display. On the other hand, the Moto G gives us the option to protect two cases: the " Grip Shell " or the " Flip Shell "; The latter encloses the device completely, with an opening on its front (screen). The Motorola model also features Gorilla Glass 3, manufactured by the Corning company.

Now we will take care of your screens: the Motorola Moto G has a not inconsiderable 4.5 inches and a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels with a density of 441ppi. The LG G2 instead features a large 5.2-inch, multi-touch and capacitive True HD-IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, with a density of 423 pixels per inch.

Next we take care of its internal memory: although both smartphones have a model of 16 GB of internal memory for sale, the Moto G has another on the market with 8 GB, while the LG G2 has another 32 GB. Neither device has a microSD slot, making it impossible to expand its memory.

It's the turn of the processors: the Moto G has a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC and Adreno 305 graphics chip, while the LG G2 features more powerful CPUs and GPUs although of the same type: Qualcomm Snapdragon Quad-core 800 at 2.26 GHz and Adreno 330. The RAM that comes with the Moto G is 1 GB, while that of the LG G2 is 2 GB. Its operating system is Android: version 4.3 Jelly Bean for the Motorola model and version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for the Korean model.

As for its connectivity, the most remarkable thing is that the LG model offers 4G / LTE support, which is so fashionable lately, something that the Moto G does not have, which only presents other more common connections such as 3G, WiFi or Bluetooth.

As for the batteries, we find a very remarkable difference: the Moto G has a capacity of 2, 070 mAh, while that of the LG G2 is quite higher, 3, 000 mAh, making it one of the most outstanding things in the terminal, along with the size of the screen that we discussed earlier. However, the autonomy will mainly depend on the handling of the smartphone (games, connectivity, video), although from the start the good performance of the LG entails greater expense due to its greater power, which is offset by its capacity, as we have just finished. to see.

Let's differentiate its cameras: the Motorola Moto G presents 5 MP in its main objective, while the LG G2 is made up of 13 MP. Autofocus, panoramic mode or the LED flash stand out from both terminals, but in the model of the Korean company, its optical stabilization stands out above all. The front lens is 1.3 megapixels in the case of the Moto G and 2.1 MP if we talk about the G2. In both cases they will be enough to make selfies or video calls. The LG G2 and Motorola Moto G recordings are made at 1080p / 60 fps and 720p / 30 fps respectively.

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 LG G2 is a much more expensive high-end terminal: currently it can be found new and free for an amount of 489 euros in black or white on the pccomponentes website.
