In a recent bend test video by Unbox Therapy, Lewis Hilsenteger was surprised to see the newly released Moto X stood firm - beating iPhone 6 and other smartphones. Its solid construction made the Motorola handset keep its form.

Why is Moto X better than iPhone?

Android Headline writes, "The device looks and feels solid in the hand." It concluded that it is better than iPhone 6 because it is "well-built at almost half the price". Its call quality and noise cancellation cannot be compared to any other phone.

ABI Research has found out that the Motorola phone comes with more innovations as it "shows a number of creative engineering solutions". It maintained, "The combination of solid engineering, creative features, and timely introduction of those features was Apple's trademark but it has faded in this category over the last two years."

ABI Research referred specifically to iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s and Motorola Mobility's 3rd quarter offering.

Versus.com said that this newly released Motorola smartphone includes branded damage resistant glass - Corning Gorilla Glass - that "is thin and lightweight and can withstand high levels of force".

It also listed several other reasons why Moto X is better than the newest iPhone and these include 1) more battery power - 21.55% more, 2) faster CPU clock speed - 21.43% faster, 3) smart features - touchless control, active display, and camera shortcut.

For The Love Of Tech said that Apple gets most of the attention whenever it comes out with new devices. Because of this, new products from its competitors get overlooked - a huge mistake by any potential smart phone buyer. The website claimed that "the Moto X will be the best Android phone to be released this year".

But with the latest bend test, it will not be a surprise if interested iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus buyers may now be considering Moto X.
