bq Aquaris against Motorola Moto G: power struggle from the low end

The bq shows their new handsets that will compete this year. So, already it has phablet now again, two other teams in the 5 inches, and two interesting alternatives for low and medium-low ranges.


For this reason, it has not been us no choice but to compare the new bq Aquaris Aquaris E4 and E4.5 against teams reigning family these ranges, such as the Motorola Moto G, we analyzed at the time, and Motorola Moto E recently presented. go!

We are in the two economic teams of both companies, with value only available to very few in the Android universe. Direct to rival the Motorola Moto E, who taught us a few days ago, takes bq Aquaris E4, with similar characteristics, but at the same time with important differences.

Screen


The first of these differences we will see on the screen, in addition to being smaller in 0.3 bq Aquaris E4 inches, also has a lower resolution. Of course, as both alternatives use IPS technology, this ensures quality, with good colors and good viewing angles.


Camera


Surely bq wanted to give a step forward in this section, and highlight with its main rival, and over all the low end in general. While the Motorola team has a 5 megapixel system does not capture HD video, and do not see the flash anywhere and there is no front camera, bq at least 8 megapixels and dual flash, for main chamber. In addition, you can record in Full HD, and uses 2 megapixel front camera.


Hardware


As always, bq bet for chipset MediaTek, namely 4-core CPU Cortex-A7, at least on paper, should pay more than the dual-core Cortex-A7 Qualcomm, which makes use of the Motorola Moto E. However, we know that the actual performance depends heavily on the work of optimization between the hardware and the software.


Unlike other hardware highlight is the storage, which is that bq offers 8GB internal and expandable, while Motorola remains in 4 GB, expandable also.


Software


One of the best news bq has given us today is using Android 4.4 operating system KitKat. So, all teams presented today will run under this latest version, as will the Aquaris 5 bq, bq Aquaris 5 HD and bq Aquaris 5.7, which will be updated.


Price


Finally, although it is probably the most attractive of such phones, we talk about price. As you recall, the Motorola Moto E announced at 119 euros, cheaper than its big brother, the Motorola Moto G, although the company itself later dropped that would see a reduction.


Al bq Aquaris E4 is has a value of 129 Euros, slightly more expensive than your opponent, which will bill could happen, maybe not so much for this difference, but the closeness in price to a member of his own family, bq Aquaris E45, just over 20 Euros.
