**Budget Smartphone Showdown: Blue Life 1X vs Moto G**

The budget smartphone market has become increasingly competitive in recent years, with numerous options available to consumers looking for affordable devices without sacrificing too much quality. In this article, we'll be comparing two such devices: the Blue Life 1X and the Moto G. Both phones offer impressive features at their respective price points, but which one comes out on top?

**Design and Display**

The first thing that strikes you when picking up either phone is its design. The Moto G has a sleek, minimalist aesthetic, with clean lines and a solid build quality. However, this also means that the camera interface can be confusing to navigate, especially for those who aren't familiar with Android. In contrast, the Blue Life 1X has a more unique approach, with a slider on the side of the phone that requires you to "pull out" a hidden menu in order to access advanced settings and features.

This little slider makes for a very confusing experience while using the 1X's interface, as most of your go-to options and settings are already displayed on the screen with tons of extra features tucked under the setting menu. This can be overwhelming for users who are new to smartphones or prefer a more straightforward user experience. On the other hand, the Moto G's design is more familiar, but it lacks some of the advanced features that make the 1X stand out.

**Camera Capabilities**

One area where both phones excel is in their camera capabilities. The Blue Life 1X has a dual-camera setup with beauty modes, night modes, sport modes, and even a PR mode with manual controls. These extra modes can be accessed by pulling out the slider on the side of the phone, but as we've seen, this can also be confusing for some users.

In reality, however, the Moto G takes better pictures without all these extra modes. Both cameras capture decent amounts of detail and colors, but the Moto G always seems to have a bit more sharpness to the image making it a more pleasing photo. The Blue Life 1X's camera is also capable of producing great images, especially with HDR mode enabled.

**HDR Mode**

The Blue Life 1X has an HDR mode that does an excellent job of bringing out the shadows and reducing overexposed parts of images like skies. However, this feature requires you to manually toggle it on from the settings menu, which can be a bit inconvenient. On the other hand, the Moto G's camera is capable of producing brighter images without HDR, but with HDR enabled, it adds some better colors.

In low-light photos, both phones do a great job, but the Blue Life 1X always needs HDR mode on and a steady hand to create viewable images. The Moto G manages a brighter picture even without HDR, but with HDR, it adds some better colors. The front-facing 5 megapixel cameras are more closely matched, but still the Moto G manages to create the clearer and sharper image.

**Video Capabilities**

When it comes to video capabilities, both phones offer impressive options. However, the Blue Life 1X has a slight edge in this department due to its ability to shoot slow-mo video at 120 frames per second with a lower 720p resolution. On the other hand, the Moto G can also capture slow-mo video but only up to 60 frames per second.

**Value for Money**

So which phone offers better value for money? In this case, the Blue Life 1X takes the cake with its much lower price point of $149. The Moto G starts at $179 and even if you opt for the base model, it still costs $219 to get the same storage and configuration as the Blue Life 1X.

To make things even sweeter, the Blue Life 1X comes with a number of extras that are included right out of the box. These include a pair of in-ear buds, a screen protector, and a really nice case that doubles as a back cover. This is a great value proposition for anyone looking to spend under $150 on their next smartphone.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, both the Blue Life 1X and the Moto G are excellent budget smartphones with impressive features at their respective price points. However, when it comes down to it, the Blue Life 1X offers more advanced camera capabilities and a better value for money due to its lower price point and inclusive extras.

For those who are looking for a budget smartphone without sacrificing too much quality, the Blue Life 1X is definitely worth considering. It may not have all the features that the Moto G has, but it makes up for it with its impressive camera capabilities and great value proposition.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enbudget smartphones those couple words used to mean a certain thing to us if you weren't a big gamer or a picture Taker and just wanted a phone that was cheap and could do a few things here and there go get a budget phone right well during the past year or so this has slowly changed budget phones are getting really really good good enough to game to take good pictures and overall just getting to be very powerful the Moto G has been the king of budget smartphones for a while but with the second generation blue life 1X just announced there might be a new King in town hello everybody it's Crystal Laura and let's take a closer look at this with the 2015 Moto G versus the 2015 blue life 1X both of these phones feel great to hold for two reasons the first being their smaller footprint the Moto G is a smaller of the two with a smaller 5-in screen versus The Life 1 X's 5.2 in screen however in terms of thinness the Moto G is a lot thicker with this rounded back that's kind of the theme with the entire Moto G's design along with this rounded back all four corners have been rounded off a lot whereas the life1 X's rounded Corners are more traditionally sharp all this being said both thones are very light and are the perfect size for one-handed use and it will comfortably fit in most Pockets the second part of a great feel on the hand is due to the materials they wear on the back the 2015 Moto G's back plate is made of a nice rubbery material which will definitely allow for your hand to get a good grip onto the phone and on top of that we also have these little grooves routed to create a very cool textured feel the Moto G is going to feel very secure in your hand and even more so with that nice Motorola dimple the x is a nice resting point for your finger now with the 2015 blue life 1X we have an all-around more sleeker design with what looks to be a leathery plastic pattern that's coated in a smooth paint layer the pattern feels quite soft and has little indications and grooves all around like real leather wood which would also make you feel like you're not going to drop the phone even with it being a little taller than the Moto G while the Moto G is made of plastic all around the blue life 1X makes things interesting with this high quality aluminum frame with a sand blasted matte finish it really adds some extra Splash to the phone's design which is something most budget smartphones do not provide both backs are removable although not for exchanging batteries Instead This is where users can access a SIM card trace and micro SD card slots however while the 1X can support up to a 64 gig card the Moto G caps at 32 but there is one feature this removable back on the Moto G has that cannot be found in the 1X you see those little plastic pieces here and here they're there for sealing up the car tray because this phone is ipx7 certified water resistant so this phone can be immersed in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes and still be fine which is very impressive unfortunately you'll have to leave the blue life 1X behind when enjoying some water activities the Moto G is still a great feeling phone and looks very nice as well but if you appreciate a sleeker look the blue life 1X will probably be what you prefer when it comes down to displays on budget smartphones don't expect anything to make your head turn with a 5in IPS screen on the Moto G and a large 5.2 in IPS screen on the blue life 1X you'll have have some really good viewing experiences both displays look really nice and seem to be equally bright good enough to be able to see in sunlight without much of a problem in terms of colors the 1 X's display seems to be more on the cooler side with really nice and true whites while the Moto G is more warm making the whes seem more towards a reddish pinkish side if that's not enough for you the 1X also has a display setting that you can Tinker with called miror Vision which is an engine that allows for interactive tuning with real-time quality feedback this includes preset picture modes like standard which is what we were just comparing with the Moto G a vivid mode that ever so slightly boosts colors and really I know this is up to preference but we really love that extra kicking colors on this display it looks gorgeous there's also a user mode where you can unlock basic color tuning settings like contrast saturation picture brightness sharpness and color temperature also a dynamic contrast setting can be turned on and off if you prefer a less hazed image the blue life 1X is still not done beating up on the Moto G's display this 2015 Moto G still is stuck at 720p which is a little disappointing as you can clear clearly see the pixels making for a fuzzier image than the 1 X's 1080p resolution after saying all this the Moto G's display isn't bad but it could definitely use a bump up to 1080P and then it would be great but when comparing it to the 1 X's display there's no competition really the display on the 1X here doesn't need to be compared to any other phone to show just how great of a screen it is so let's get down to the reason why these phones are so cheap and considered to be budget phones you don't get a crazy amount of power packed inside these two phones but you seem to get just enough the blue life 1X packs a medium Tech processor which is clocked at 1.3 GHz while the Moto G has a Snapdragon 410 processor which is only a 1.4 GHz quad core it's still a great processor but with the Moto G's base model only having 1 gig of RAM and the 1X having 2 gigs of RAM blue smartphones seem to take the upper hand and you see this when it comes to the benchmarks with our base model Moto G geekbench 3 shows a life 1X achieving a much better single and multi-core score and also a better ranking on in 22's performance app in normal use of loading apps and switching between them you'll clear clearly find the 1X ases a much better and faster job apps will always load faster on the 1X and not refresh as much as a Moto G it's pretty disappointing that the Moto G's base model starts at 1 gig of RAM while still being more expensive than the 1 X's base model with 2 gigs but we'll take a closer look at pricing towards the end we have an interesting comparison when it comes to GPU we have the more familiar adreno 306 on the Moto G while the blue life 1X has a Mali t720 GPU and when running some Benchmark tests with gfx bench when looking at the lowle test which is all the Moto G had to offer we get some mixed results some show the 1X falling a bit short While others show it outperforming by a lot but for a real world test we tried playing Asal 8 the Moto G actually seems to load the game just as fast or a couple seconds faster than the 1X both do play great but I expect a couple more frame drops from playing on the blue Life 1 x it's still very playable but with the Moto G pushing less pixels that could be why you'll see smoother playback when listening to YouTube videos with the speakers on these two phones we've got complete opposites the Moto G has a pretty decently sized front-facing speaker found on the bottom of the display whereas the 1X has a smaller speaker found on the bottom of its backing both speakers sound good but the Moto G definitely has a better of the quality even with the Moto G being the much thicker phone blue managed to fit a bigger battery into the taller 1X the life 1X has a 2,900 mlia battery while the Moto G has a 2470 mAh battery you're going to get very impressive battery life out of each phone and in no way was I able to ever kill the batteries on either phone in a day the only modification I make to extend my phone's battery is turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scanning other than that all my emails are set to push all account data is set to syn and with moderate use both phones should last you at least 4 and 1 half to 5 hours of screen on time with a smaller and low resolution 720p found on the Moto G you may gain an extra 30 minutes of screen on time over the 1X but when it comes down to it it's hard to kill these in a day if you're wondering which phone is better at charging times well there's no fast charging or anything found here so if you're a heavy power user with these budget phones you may have to charge during the day and wait it out both phones offer great and pretty similar software experiences they're running Android lollipop 5.1 and both companies didn't really change too much creating a really close to stock Android experience there hasn't been any reskins in the menus or pull down sections and instead both companies just sprinkled a few extra features on top of the already good-looking and functional operating system on the Moto G there aren't many features but every feature on here users love like Moto display that lights up your screen when you receive a notification with fun and easy ways to preview the message and jump into it and you have some gestures too like Twist of your hand to launch a camera app or chop to launch a flashlight on the blue life 1X most features will be found within settings and there are a lot more within smart awake you can turn on finger gestures when the screen is off like drawing an m to launch your music player C to launch the camera and O to launch a flashlight a double tap to wake feature is also here and there's some more features like double tap of the home key will turn off the display a pocket mode that uses a proximity sensor to save battery flip to silence calls or alarms and finally schedule power on and off modes so you can tell your phone to turn off and on during certain parts of the day which is pretty interesting if you love a stock Android experience you'll be happy with both phones it's just up to you to pick the features you prefer now in the past Motorola was very timely with updates but recently Motorola users are still stuck waiting for their phones to update to Android marshmallow which could be a while blue on the other hand has said they are making an effort for Ely software updates and are making it a priority so even with the blue Life 1 x just announced we will probably lean a little more towards blue rolling out in marshmallow update first both cameras here offer 13 megapix rear fixing sensors with flash and autofocus as well as 5 megapixel front-facing cameras with these phones being so cheap you won't find any Optical image stabilization here both camera interfaces are very simple which usually we like because that means it's easy to use but on the Moto G perhaps it's too simple and actually makes it harder to use you can't tap to focus instead you need to drag to focus and tap to snap a picture and your settings are hidden and can only be accessed when you pull out the this little slider it makes for a very confusing experience while in the blue Life 1 X's interface most of your go-to options and settings are already displayed on the screen with tons of extra features that the Moto G doesn't have tucked under the setting menu here we have things like Beauty modes night modes sport modes dual view and even a PR mode with manual controls although as you'll soon see the Moto G still seems to take the better pictures even without all these extra modes both cameras capture decent amount of details and colors however the Moto G always seems to have a bit more sharpness to the image making for a more pleasing photo colors always seem to be much better on the Moto G and they really come alive and make for a beautiful picture the blue phone still manages to create a nice picture but with its darker image and more subdued colors most users will probably prefer the Moto G HDR also seems to do a better job on the Moto G and not only does it bring out the shadows and brings down to Overexposed parts of images like Skies but it's pretty fast the blue life 1X has an HDR mode too but there's no autom mode to it so you have to go into the settings menu and click it to switch it on it does make for a Brighter Image but but it does take quite a while with a progress bar showing up after clicking the shredder button and then you get a message urging not to move the phone as it takes the pictures so most of the time you'll end up with a blurry picture still though in these low light photos both phones do a really good job but the 1X is always going to need HDR mode on and a steady hand to create viewable images the Moto G manages a brighter picture even without HDR but with HDR it adds some better colors there is a night mode found on the 1X but once again you'll end up creating very soft looking images with not much detail due to the lack of a steady hand the front-facing 5 megapixel cameras are more closely matched but still the Moto G manages to create the clearer and Sharper Image although the onx tends to have the better exposed picture with better colors but it's very minimal HD video is available on each phone although by default the blue life 1X is set to 720p so make sure you change that within the camera settings the color is a main difference you'll see between the two the Moto G is much warmer than the 1X but this does come down to preference the color temperature on the 1X seems to be less warm but still the colors are pretty lack in compared to the Moto G you'll see more saturated colors with the Moto G even with this warmer tint and you'll also get a lot more detail out of the Moto G and overall a better video quality although the 1X does do a better job at focusing onto things the Moto G is capable of shooting slow-mo video at 120 frames per second with a lower 720p resolution where the 1X has no video features for such a low price point these phones make for great cameras if you're buying either one of these phones the camera probably isn't going to be the main priority for you so you should be happy with either camera but the Moto G does have a slight Edge really if you're in the market for a budget smartphone the winner usually comes down to the cheaper of the devices in this case the blue life 1X takes the cake with a much lower price point at only $149 now the Moto G starts at $179 but you're only going to get 1 gig at the base model so to get the same storage and configuration as the blue life 1X you'll have to dish out some extra cash at 219 which is $70 more overall blue also goes even further to help this 1 X's value as right out of the box they includes include a nice pair of inear buds a screen protector and even a really nice case that is actually a back cover so once you remove the leathery backing snap this one on and it'll fold over the front of the phone protecting it and activating a black and white clock with your notifications and even music controls the Blue Life One X really is an amazing value and it triumphs the Moto G in almost every aspect when it comes
