Which smartphone is the best purchase? We compare the iPhone 6 and the Motorola Moto X to see which is worth the buy.

For the design and display, the Motorola Moto X features a 5.2 inches AMOLED screen display with resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, while the iPhone 6 comes with a Retina display, a 4.7 inches screen display with resolution of 750×1334.

In terms of hardware and design, the iPhone 6 features a quad core processor clocked at 2.5GHz and supported by 2 GB RAM memory. Notice that almost all Android phones have that same processor (S5, HTC One M8). The main issue is the storage. The device has just 32 GB built in memory space, with no external slot available. Apple’s smartphone, on the other hand, comes in versions with 16/64/128GB internal storage. The iPhone 6 features a 64bit A8 chip, widely assumed to be 30% more powerful than its predecessor.

The Motorola Moto X runs on the 4.4 Android KitKat OS. There are no special interfaces, skin option etc. The good news is that users get to experience Android at its best, and since there are no additional skins, the device will be one of the first to get the upgrade for the new Android L. Others include Moto assist, Moto Display, and Moto Actions. The iPhone 6 runs on the latest iOS 8 software.

For the battery and camera specs, the battery life of the Motorola Moto X should be approximately a full day. Additionally, the smartphone comes with an extra turbo charger that can power the device for 8 hours of battery life in just 15 minutes. The iPhone 6 comes features a 1800 mAh battery that can handle 14 hours of talk time.

The Motorola device has an upgraded camera, up to 13-MP rear facing sensor. The camera app is simple, elegant and clean, without tons of features and options. One of the good features is the best shot option, which captures photos just before and after your press the camera button. If the phone detects someone blinking, it presents the user with a better option. The Apple device has a 8-MP rear facing camera and the new 64bit chip. The camera now has some cool features, both in camera and video mode.

The alleged price of the Motorola Moto X is at $500 range for a SIM free version, while the iPhone 6 cost $650 for the off contract version.
