Moto X Style to Meizu MX5: Top mid-range phones this Diwali

So how do these phones stack up on specs and features?

Moto X Style

The Moto X Style has one of the best cameras among Android smartphones.

In our review, we saw that Moto X Style has a lot to offer for its price. It is basically playing the OnePlus style game in the Samsung Galaxy territory. The large 5.7-inch WQHD display, 21MP sensor and dual front stereo speakers make it a worthy buy given its Rs 29,999 price.

The Moto X Style has one of the best cameras among Android smartphones right, which clicks pictures with crisp details. Moto X Style is powered by an hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor which makes multi-tasking and gaming a joy on this smartphone. Motorola has also added 4K video shooting to its camera options and it doesn’t heat up like other flagship smartphones. Read our review here.

Nexus 5X

If pure Android experience is all that you want, Nexus 5X is an apt choice in this price range.

Nexus 5 will go down the books as the most liked Nexus smartphone of all time and Google turned to LG this year again to rework the magic. Nexus 5X is a spiritual successor to Nexus 5 and it shows the moment you see the device. It has those edges and similar plastic design.

Nexus 5X comes with improved specs like 5.2-inch display and Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chip. The biggest improvement is the 12.3-megapixel rear camera. Nexus 5X’s camera is really good and it won’t disappoint even at full zoom.

If pure Android experience is all that you want, Nexus 5X is an apt choice in this price range but you will need to get that 32GB storage model for storing all those beautiful pictures and 4K videos. Read our review here.

Moto X Play

In our review, we have called Moto X Play as killer smartphone under Rs 20,000.

Motorola’s Moto X Play is a combination of decent design, great camera, beautiful display and a battery that will force you to use it more.

In our review, we have called Moto X Play as a killer smartphone for under Rs 20,000. The fact that Moto X Play supports microSD card support, even buying the 16GB variant is not a bad deal. With Flipkart offering great discounts on Motorola smartphones, Moto X Play is a great buy for those looking at buying a 5.5-inch Android smartphone under Rs 20,000. Read our full review here.

The battery life is the strongest point of this smartphone.
