The Oppo N1 Mini, on the other hand, features a relatively bigger 5-inch IPS LCD display with the same resolution as the Motorola device. In addition, the pixel densities of Motorola and Oppo handsets stand at 312 ppi and 294 ppi respectively.

The Moto X comes with a sleek body and boasts premium look. The exterior is made of durable plastic called PET composite. Even though the Moto X looks sturdy, the weight is kept to a minimum. Also, the back side has a soft-touch finish, hence it is comfortable on the hands and there shouldn't be any problems with fingerprints. However, there is no information available on the exterior of the upcoming Oppo N1 Mini at this point.

The thickness and the weight of the Oppo N1 Mini are 0.36-inch and 150 g respectively, whereas the Moto X is 0.41-inch thick and weighs 130 g.

Hardware, Software And Memory

The Oppo N1 Mini is powered by a relatively superior quad-core (Qualcomm Snapdragon 400) Cortex-A7 processor, clocked at 1.6 GHz. The Moto X, on the other hand, is powered by a dual-core (Qualcomm Snapdragon Pro) Krait processor, clocked at 1.7 GHz. Also, both the phones house the same 2 GB of RAM.

In addition, the Moto X device runs on Android OS, v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), which is upgradable to v4.4.4 (KitKat).

Furthermore, the Oppo N1 Mini offers 16 GB of internal storage, while the Moto X comes with 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB of in-built storage capacities. However, both the handsets do not support microSD card.
