Posted March 28, 2015 I am looking for an Android smartphone under $500. I think the two main contestants in this price bracket are the OnePlus One and the Moto X, although I am open to suggestions. Which one is the best? I am leaning more towards the Moto X because it is only $400 now and also the superior design and uniqueness of leather or wood in your phone are pretty appealing. I would like some second opinions and other thoughts so please help me out. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $400 the Moto X is definitely a great choice but IMO the OPO is still better feeling in the hand, leather or wood might feel nice but it's nowhere near as good of a texture to have on the back of a phone as the OnePlus's Sandstone back. The OPO also has the benefit of better battery life. If you can find the features of the Moto X useful like Google voice search when the phone is off then go for the Moto X, otherwise the OnePlus One gets my vote.

Posted March 28, 2015 This is 100% personal preference to be honest. I like my Z3v, I liked my moto X. I liked my turbo. I held a S6 at the store today and loved it. It's all good man. Just as long as they have the features I want. D3SL91 | Ethan | Gaming+Work System | NAS System | Photo: Nikon D750 + D5200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
