Motorola may have been striving hard to take the lead in the smartphone race to the top position.
However, the company has left no stone unturned in order to gain recognition in the mobile industry. The smartphones, designed and manufactured by the company, cater the masses with a low and outright cost, with no compromise with respect to the performance of the smartphone.
The second in the line in smartphone manufacturing business after Samsung, the Korean manufacturer, LG has been making a name for itself in the international smartphone market. The Optimus series from LG has produced some pioneering handsets, which are not scared to test the limits of technology. The release of the Optimus L9 handset offers the potential user with contemporary features and spec sheet, similar to that of premium handsets from various companies.
Today, we shall compare the two upcoming handsets from Motorola and LG – the Moto G and Optimus L9, in terms of their interface, functionality, processor and memory.
Interface and Functionality
The Moto G encompasses a Vanilla Android version 4.4.4 KitKat operating system. The UI delivers pure experience unlike the customized experience put forward by various other handsets. The Moto G provides the user with an intuitive and rich experience, sticking to the founding principles of the mobile platform from Google. There is nothing new to what the users might have experienced with the earlier versions released by the company.
In comparison, the Optimus L9 comes equipped with the Android version 4.0.4 operating system. The Optimus L9 handset has been stripped of its familiar Optimus user interface, providing the users with exclusive features such as SmartShare and QuickMemo. The overall performance of the L9 handset is fluid, with a skin offering a decent performance.
Processor and Memory
The Moto G comes with an efficient processor that can aptly handle basic tasks, but talk of running heavy games smoothly, the processor fails to deliver. The Moto G comes equipped with a similar quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC, running at a speed of 1.2GHz. The processor is coupled with RAM of 1GB and Adreno 305 graphic processor.
The Moto G comes in two internal capacities variants – 8GB and 16GB. However, the latest model from Motorola comes equipped with an external memory card slot for memory enhancement. The external card slot is placed under the rear panel.
In comparison, the Optimus L9 incorporates a dual core TI OMAP 4430 CPU. The processor is coupled with a RAM of 1GB along with an internal storage capacity of 4GB. However, half of the internal memory is utilized in the system. Regardless, the user has the option to enhance the memory of the handset through a microSD card. The L9 may not come equipped with impressive hardware specifications, but in real time usage, the processor offers a decent performance, without any unnecessary delays and lags.
Verdict
For people who were looking forward to owning a basic functioning handset with fewer redundancies, the Moto G smartphone is the handset for you. However, in case you were looking forward to own a budget smartphone offering a smooth performance, the Optimus L9 handset is the one for you.
