Moto X Play vs. One Plus 2: What Suits The Pocket

Posted By: Dipanita Bhowmick 0 Comment ,

The war is on between Moto X Play and OnePlus 2–the two preferred phones available for the mid budget buyer. Let’s do a quick comparison to see what side the features sway against the prices.

Moto X Play vs. One Plus 2Design and Display

Lets look at the similarities first. Both phones have a 5.5-inch full HD display. However, the display of OnePlus 2 appears washed-out whereas the panel of the Moto X Play looks better.

At the same time, while the Moto X Play is better in terms of design, the Sandstone Black finish of the OnePlus 2 is more appealing. Both the devices are available with alternate back covers. 

Weight

Weighing 169 gms, the Moto X Play  is lighter than the OnePlus 2 that weighs 175 gms. However, the Moto X Play is thicker and shorter than OnePlus 2.

Processor, Performance, Memory and Battery Life

While the Moto X Play runs on 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core chipset, the OnePlus 2 is powered by a 1.8GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core chipset. With 4 GB RAM, OnePlus 2 may get a little bossy over 2 GB RAM of Moto X Play. Though, OnePlus 2 enjoys an upper hand due to better synthetic benchmarks, there is very little difference if you consider day-to-day performance, making competition tougher. 

Some reviewers have noticed that the OnePlus 2 tends to gain heat if games are played for a long time. Moreover, many apps face compatibility issue with the phone. Moto X Play users have not reported these issues. Battery of both the phones lasts a day of medium to heavy usage.

Camera

Moto x Play boasts of a 21 MP rear camera with dual-LED flash and auto-HRD, whereas the One Plus 2 comes with a 13 MP rear camera with OIS, dual LED-Flash as well as auto-focus.

Price Point

The price difference between both the phones is high. While the Moto X Play can be purchased for Rs. 18,499, the OnePlus 2 needs you to shell out Rs. 24,999.

With both the phones having a good fan following, it is difficult to say who is going to win the battle in the market. Based on our observations above, I would go with the Moto X Play though!… Read the rest

Meizu Pro 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S6: It’s A War of Features

Posted By: Dipanita Bhowmick 0 Comment , ,

Meizu Pro 5 vs Samsung S6The Meizu Pro 5 is here and looks impressive at a glance. This is the second Meizu phone launched in 2016. In August, we saw the launch of Meizu MX4. With two consecutive launches in recent months, the Chinese mobile phone company hopes to increase its dominance in a market that is already flooded with many Android phones. However, the biggest competitor to the Pro 5 is the Samsung Galaxy S6. Meizu has used the Samsung Exynos 7420 SoC chipset to power the device. Therefore, it would be interesting to see how these two phones fight it out in the consumer market.

Specs at a glance

Meizu Pro 5 is a premium model that uses the octa-core Samsung processor for greater performance. While the processor is sufficient to keep it at par with other Samsung devices, the Pro 5 meets the S6 on other counts as well.

First, lets take a look at the screen size. While the Meizu Pro 5 sports a 5.7-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, this is smaller than the 5.10-inch display of the Samsung Galaxy S6. Screen resolution of the Pro 5 takes a beating at 1080×1920 pixels against the 1440×2560 pixels of the S6.

Since we’re comparing the Pro 5 to a Samsung device, comparing the camera is a must. The Pro 5 has an edge here with a 21 MP rear camera but both phones use a 5 MP front camera. In fact, the camera of the Samsung S6 has an awkward bump, which is a dampener.

Expect better battery life with the Pro 5 that has a 3050 mAh battery capacity against the 2550 mAh battery of the Samsung Galaxy S6. Storage capacity on both phones is the same with a 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. However, the Meizu Pro 5 has expandable memory unlike the Samsung S6 that no microSD slot.
