Design
One of the key USPs of the Nokia X was its design – offering polycarbonate plastic with its trademark premium design language at a price point where design aesthetics are probably the last thing on the company’s mind. The Moto E too matches the same, carrying forward the same design elements as higher priced Moto G and Moto X. In our view, both the Nokia X and Moto E are very well designed smartphones.
Display
The Moto E comes with a 4.3-inch display which is not only bigger than Nokia’s 4-inch display but also offers better display resolution with higher pixel density. The Moto E qHD display with 960×540 pixels resolution and a pixel density of 256ppi, while the Nokia X sports a WVGA display with 480×800 pixels resolution pushing out 223 pixels per inch. Unsurprisingly, Motorola’s display looks sharper than Nokia X. Apart from that, the Moto E’s display also has Gorilla Glass 3 protection which is absent from the Nokia X.
Hardware
Talking of the processor, both the phones run on dual-core chipset from the same manufacturer however their model and RAM support varies. The Nokia X has a 1GHz Snapdragon S4 Cortex A5 dual-core chipset, while the Moto E is powered by a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 200 Cortex-A7 dual-core chipset. In addition to that, the Moto E also offers double the RAM size (1GB) than the Nokia X, which comes with 512MB of RAM. The Moto E certainly seems more powerful than the Nokia’s X.
Memory
Both the smartphones include 4GB of internal storage that can be further expanded to up to 32GB using a microSD card. This is the first time Motorola is offering such a feature, as it is missing from the Moto G and the Moto X. This round then is a tie.
Camera
Motorola’s Moto E again wins in this segment with its 5-megapixel camera pitted against Nokia X’s 3-megapixel camera. Neither of these get an LED flash or a secondary front-facing camera.
Software
The software is what really differentiates both the devices. The Nokia X runs on a forked version of Android that does not look or feel like Android at all. The company has gone for a completely new interface, which borrows elements from Asha and Windows Phone phones, and has also replaced Google’s services with that of its own or Microsoft’s. While some of the apps are present on Nokia’s app store, others have to be installed from third party app stores and the process is not very user friendly. The Moto E, on the other hand, offers Android 4.4.2 KitKat out-of-the-box, and that in a near stock form. Motorola has also guaranteed software updates at the earliest after their announcement. Clearly, the Moto E gets an edge over the Nokia X when it comes to software and UI.
Extras
This is another department where the Moto E trumps the X. Not only does the Moto E come with a nano coating to protect is against the accidental splash of water, it also boasts features that add value to the phone. These include Moto Alert, which automatically alerts preset contacts when you leave a particular location, Instant SMS with your location for emergency situations, and an Emergency mode, which sends a call to a preset contact or sound an alarm. In addition to that, it comes with intelligent calling, which record your usage pattern and on the basis of that, automatically selects the SIM based on the contact you are calling.
Price
The Nokia X was launched for Rs 8,599, however it now retails at Rs 7,729, which is still higher than the price of Moto E (Rs 6,999).
In conclusion, the Moto E seems to be miles ahead of the Nokia X in terms of value for money. It is not only priced lower, but also offers better specifications, the latest operating system and additional features like water resistance. You can buy the Moto E from Flipkart from here.
