HTC Desire 310 vs Motorola Moto G
Can the HTC compete with the Moto G with its newly launched Desire 310?
HTC seems to be targeting the budget segment with the launch of the quad core Desire 310 for a low price of just Rs 11,700. However, the Moto G could still rule the space since it sports a better hardware. Let’s give the two handsets a quick spec-match and find out who can be the winner in this budget handset race.
In the table below, you will find the main features and specifications of the two handsets.
Looking at the entire spec sheet, we think the HTC Desire 310 is no match to the Motorola Moto G. The Moto G beats the HTC Desire 310 with respect to major hardware factors.
- It has a superior display (IPS HD display) and a better screen protection (Gorilla Glass).
- It features a better chipset (Snapdragon) with a powerful GPU (Adreno).
- It sports a flash along with the rear camera and a better front camera for selfies (1.3MP).
There are some areas where the HTC Desire 310 could be considered marginally better.
- You can extend the internal storage to 32 GB using a microSD card.
- It sports the HTC Sense UI.
- It is priced almost Rs 2,500 lower than the Moto G.
The HTC Sense UI and the price difference could be taken into consideration. However, these few differences are not enough to keep up the competition. The Motorola Moto G has USB OTG enabled, which can be used to expand the internal storage by simply plugging in a USB pen drive.
On the last note, the display quality and the overall performance will finally matter. The Motorola Moto G has a better display and a superior graphics processor, which can the boost performance to a higher level as compared to the HTC Desire 310. We are waiting for the HTC Desire 310 to show up in our office, after which we will update this article with real-world performance test results. These numbers will speak the exact truth.
