Moto X (2nd Gen) Vs OnePlus one: Performance

The new Motorola Moto X packs Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 MSM8974-AC with 2.5GHz quad-core CPU. The GPU is Adreno 330, clocked at 578 MHz. The device’s silicon is the default setup for most Android smartphone flagships this year, and has already proven to be a solid performer.

GeekBench and AnTuTu showcase the raw CPU power of a smartphone. The new Moto X did great on both occasions.

The OnePlus One boasts the name 2014 Flagship Killer on OnePlus’ site and it has the hardware platform to show for it. For starters, it runs the current top-class Snapdragon 801 chipset with a quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 GPU. It also has 3 GB of RAM to handle heavy tasks and GPU only needs to 1080p resolution to the screen (as opposed to 1440p or QHD).

It matches the likes of the Oppo Find 7 or Korean LG G3 blow for blow and surpasses the international LG G3, Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One (M8) by having more RAM. So the numbers should point to a winner but let’s not forget that software plays an important role in benchmarks as well. Stock, or in this case modded pure Android, hasn’t shown the best synthetic performance – we’ve seen the Nexus 5 and Nexus 4 before it sport class-leading hardware but fall behind in the tests – just keep an eye out for that.

GeekBench 3 and AnTuTu 4 are all-round benchmarks that test the entirety of the hardware build. In the first test – GeekBench 3 – the OnePlus One scores a middling result just between the LG G3’s Korean version and International version and far from the top occupied by the Oppo Find 7.

At the front of the Moto X, there’s a 2MP camera capable of 1080p video recording for video-chatting purposes. As far as the image quality is concerned, the Moto X (2014) is mostly on par with its predecessor. The images it produces are rather noisy and with only an average amount of detail. The color rendering is decent, but the red channel often falls victim to the very limited dynamic range and clips. Video recording is definitely the better half of the Moto X (2014) camera performance. The smartphone produces some splendid 4K footage with excellent colors and plenty of detail. Videos are nicely smooth too and the only issue we have with them is the less than stellar dynamic range.

The OnePlus One comes with a 13MP snapper on the back coupled with a dual-LED flash to aid in low-light photography. On the front there’s a 5MP snapper for selfies.Moto X 2nd Gen vs OnePlus One2
