Comparison review
Galaxy S4 has a general score of 76.1, which is a little bit better than Moto X's score of 70.9. Both of these phones have Android operating system, but the Galaxy S4 has an older 4.4.2 version and Moto X has Android 4.4.4. The Galaxy S4 construction has the same weight than Moto X, but it is extremely thinner.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a bit more vivid display than Motorola Moto X, because it has a quite larger display, a better pixels density and a way higher resolution of 1920 x 1080px. Moto X has a very superior memory capacity for games and applications than Galaxy S4, because although it has no external memory card slot, it also counts with more internal storage.
Samsung Galaxy S4 counts with just a bit better performance than Moto X, and although they both have a 400 MHz graphics processing unit and a 2 GB RAM memory, the Samsung Galaxy S4 also has a greater number of cores. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has just a little better battery life than Moto X, because it has a 2600mAh battery capacity against 2200mAh.
Galaxy S4 features a camera that's very similar to Motorola Moto X's camera, because although the Galaxy S4 has lower 30 frames per second video frame rates and a smaller sensor capturing lower quality photos, and they both have the same (Full HD) video definition, it also counts with a way higher resolution back-facing camera and a bigger aperture to capture better photos and video in poorly lited situations.
Galaxy S4 is not only the best devices of the ones we compare here, but it's also very cheap compared to the other devices, making this phone an obvious call.
