Comparison: sony xperia z1 vs motorola moto x

In the morning of today we bring you an old guest of our website: the Sony Xperia Z1, which on this occasion measures its forces - which are not few - against one of Motorola's greats: the Motorola Moto X. Throughout From the comparison we will be in charge of showing the qualities of these two terminals, in order to later make known their current value in the market and thus be able to reach the conclusion about which of them presents a better value for money. So let's start:

Technical characteristics:

Screens: The Moto X has 4.7 inches and a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The Sony Xperia Z1 features a 5-inch Full HD screen and a higher resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, giving a density of 443 pixels per inch. The Motorola model also features AMOLED technology, which allows it to have more brightness, reflect less sunlight and consume less energy. The Xperia Z1 thanks to its Triluminos technology, is endowed with incredibly realistic colors, showing better-looking faces with natural skin tones. The anti-scratch protection of the Moto X is made by the Corning company: Gorilla Glass, while the Sony features an anti-splinter foil and resistance against shocks.

Processors: the two terminals coincide in the possession of a CPU and graphics chip from the same manufacturer, although different models, so the Moto X has a 1.7GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon Kait 300 SoC and Adreno 320 GPU, while the Sony Xperia Z1 does the same with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core 2.2 GHz and Adreno 330. They also coincide in RAM memory - being 2 GB in both cases - and in the operating system (version included): Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

Now we will talk about their designs: the Moto X has dimensions of 129.3 mm high x 65.3 mm wide x 10.4 mm thick, while the Xperia Z1 has a larger size of 144 mm high x 74mm wide x 8.5mm thick and weighing 170 grams. This model has an aluminum frame made in a single piece, improving signal reception, ensuring resistance to moderate shocks and as a novelty in the world of smartphones (although it is not the first of its model), also water resistance and to dust. The Moto X for its part has a website called Moto Maker, useful for customizing its colors before buying it. Among its many types of casing, there is a wooden one in four options: teak, bamboo, ebony and rosewood, and some 18 different colors, the front being white or black.

Internal memories: both smartphones agree on having a 16 GB ROM model for sale; However, in the case of the Moto X we have another 32 GB terminal. The Sony model offers the possibility of expanding its memory to 64 GB thanks to microSD cards, a feature that the Moto X does not have, although it does have free 50 GB storage on Google Drive.

Connectivity: in this aspect, both terminals have both very basic connections such as 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth, as well as the support that is so fashionable lately: LTE / 4G.

Cameras: the Motorola Moto X presents as a rear lens a 10 Megapixel sensor with f / 2.4 focal aperture that together with the clear pixel sensor makes the camera receive 75% more light, something worth taking into account when taking photographs in low light environments. It also includes other functions such as: autofocus, LED flash, geo-tagging, quick capture, panorama mode, face and smile detection. But if this has not seemed enough, attention to the rear camera of the Sony Xperia Z1: sensor of our own manufacture -Sony Exmor- of 20.7 megapixels, 27 mm wide angle and f / 2.0 aperture., All this in addition to a x3 digital zoom without loss of quality and great stabilization, a real feat to be a Smartphone. Video recording is done at 1080p HD and 30fps in both cases. Its front lenses have 2 megapixels in both cases, very useful for making video calls and selfies.

Batteries: that of the Moto X is smaller with its 2200 mAh capacity compared to 3000 mAh that presents the large battery of the Xperia Z1. The greater power that the Sony model needs for its optimization could equate its autonomies a bit, although even with this, we must assume that the Xperia will have a longer useful life.
