Summary
- The Motorola Moto G 4G Dual SIM (2nd gen) features a compact build with dimensions of 141.5 x 70.7 x 11 mm and weighs 155g, offering a more portable design compared to the larger and heavier Motorola XOOM MZ601, which measures 249.1 x 167.8 x 12.9 mm and weighs 730g.
- The Moto G has a 5.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, while the XOOM has a 10.1-inch TFT display with a lower resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a higher pixel density for the Moto G.
- In terms of performance, the Moto G is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core CPU, whereas the XOOM uses an older Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor, making the Moto G more capable for multitasking.
- The Moto G's rear camera is 8 MP compared to the XOOM's 5 MP, providing better image quality, although both devices have a 2 MP front camera.
- The Moto G is equipped with a 2390 mAh battery, while the XOOM's battery capacity is unspecified, but it is generally less efficient due to its age.
- Lastly, the Moto G runs on a more recent version of Android (5.0.2) compared to the XOOM, which operates on Android 3.0 and 4.1.2, limiting its software experience.
