Summary
- The Huawei nova 5T features a glass front and back with an aluminum frame, offering a premium feel, while the Motorola One Action has a glass front but uses a plastic back and frame, making it slightly less robust.
- The nova 5T has a 6.26-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, while the One Action's 6.3-inch IPS LCD offers a slightly higher resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels, resulting in a higher pixel density.
- In terms of performance, the nova 5T is powered by the Kirin 980 chipset, which generally provides superior performance compared to the Exynos 9609 in the One Action.
- The camera setup on the nova 5T is more versatile with a 48 MP main sensor, compared to the One Action's 12 MP main sensor, although both support 4K video recording.
- The nova 5T has a 3750 mAh battery with faster 22.5W charging, while the One Action's 3500 mAh battery supports only 10W charging.
- Both devices run Android 9.0, but the One Action offers an upgrade to Android 11 with a cleaner Android One experience, while the nova 5T runs EMUI 10.
