Dimensions: Moto X

Even by little, the Nexus wins Moto X 4 in the question portability. It has smaller height and width as well as being lighter meager 9 g. Moreover, even if the Nexus 4 is a bit thin, 9.1 mm versus 10.4 mm, the Moto X has a curved body that favors the footprint, which leaves you feeling thinner compared to the Nexus, that has bar format.

Design: Nexus 4

Moto X has its charm with curved lines, without too many detours. Really a good gadget to hold. However, it is undeniable that the glass on the back of the Nexus 4 gives another guy for a smartphone with Android.

If you are looking for a complete Android smartphone, Nexus 4 as both Moto X are excellent choices. The great advantage compared to its competitors remains the pure experience of the system, the way it was designed (correctly) by Google.

Your decision depends, in fact, what you’re willing to pay. If your pocket can afford another expense to have a more current hardware, with several useful resources in the system, such as speech recognition in Portuguese and a better camera, worth investing in Moto X. However, if your option is to spend less, the Nexus 4 still delivers excellent results in terms of performance, especially with the upgrade to Android 4.4, and has sleeker design, body with coated glass.

We stayed with Moto X by its superiority in several questions, especially on drums, and able to improve the experience provided by pure Android, which is already excellent in the Nexus 4, but that gets a touch more useful with new features in software.
