Comparison review
Galaxy Note 5 has a general score of 79.3, which is a little bit better than the Motorola One's 74.3 overall score. Galaxy Note 5's construction is a bit thinner than the Motorola One, although it is just a bit heavier and was released many years before. Both phones we compare here use Android OS (Operating System), but the Galaxy Note 5 has older 5.1 version while Motorola One has Android 9.0 Pie version.
Galaxy Note 5 has an incredibly better display than Motorola One, because although it has a little smaller display, it also counts with a lot greater display pixel density and a way better 2560 x 1440 resolution. The Motorola One counts with a very superior memory capacity to install applications and games than Galaxy Note 5, and although they both have exactly the same internal storage capacity, the Motorola One also has a SD extension slot that holds up to 256 GB.
The Motorola One has a bit better processing unit than Samsung Galaxy Note 5, and although they both have a 4 GB RAM memory, the Motorola One also has a larger number of cores (but slower). Galaxy Note 5 counts with a battery performance that is very similar to Motorola One's battery duration. Galaxy Note 5 counts with a slightly better camera than Motorola One, and although they both have the same video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 video resolution, the Galaxy Note 5 also has a more megapixels camera in the back and a bigger aperture for better photos in low-light environments.
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 costs more money than the Motorola One, but you can get a better phone for that few extra dollars.
