Huawei is not the only complicated competitor that has come out lately to Motorola in the mid-range, but also has another in Nokia, with the added difficulty that the Finns are attacking what used to be one of their great claims: the experience of using pure Android (or almost). We leave you a comparative with two of their latest phablets: Moto G6 Plus vs Nokia 7 Plus.
Designer
The differences in design in this duel are more or less the same that we have seen in other comparisons because they have to do mainly with the peculiarities in this section of the game. Moto G6 Plus, which has joined the all-screen front fashion, but has not moved the fingerprint reader to the back, where we continue to find its distinctive way of locating the main camera. To this we must add that Motorola has decided to abandon the metal casing, still the most common in the mid-range, and bet on the glass. Of course, both offer us USB Type-C ports and retain the headphone jack port.
Dimensions
In the dimension section there are also some differences that we can take into account, although they do not really allow us to give the clear advantage to one or the other phablet: on the one hand, the Nokia 7 Plus can boast of being somewhat more compact with a screen of the same size (16 x 7,55 cm against 15,84 x 7,56 cm) but, on the other hand, it is the Moto G6 Plus, the one who comes out clearly gaining in weight (167 grams against 183 grams) and in terms of thickness, finally, they are tied (8 mm).
Screen
As we just mentioned, the screen of these two phablets is the same size (6 inches) but it is not the only thing in which they coincide, since they also have the same aspect ratio (the now usual 18: 9, more elongated than the classic 16: 9), both are Full HD (2160 x 1080) and both use LCD panels. Nothing here in the basic technical specifications that will help us choose.
Unlimited
In the performance section, there is a difference that helps us decide a winner and that is the processor: in both cases we have the latest generation Qualcomm mid-range chips (Snapdragon 630 eight core to 2,2 GHz against Snapdragon 660 eight core to 2,2 GHz), but the phablet of Nokia It is a superior model, with Kyro 260 cores instead of A-53 and with a higher level GPU. The two accompany him, yes, with 4 GB of RAM, which equates them in the face of multitasking. It may also be interesting to consider that although both arrive with Android Oreo and in both cases in its purest version, but being an Android One can end up giving an advantage to the Nokia 7 Plus in terms of updates (the Android P beta is now available for starters).
Storage capacity
Another point in favor of Nokia 7 Plus We have it in the storage capacity section, since it offers us twice the internal memory of what we have in the Moto G6 Plus (32 GB against 64 GB), although having both a card slot micro-SD, we will have the possibility to alleviate the differences using external storage.
Cameras
The phablet of Nokia thanks to some details such as that, for example, in both we have dual cameras of 12 SM, but yours has larger pixels (1,4um) and a more powerful secondary sensor (5 SM against 13 SM). It also counts in its favor that it comes out ahead, by a considerable distance, when it comes to the front camera (8 SM against 16 SM).
Autonomy
The last word will be the actual tests of use (we are still waiting to have comparable data for the Moto G6 Plus), but at the moment it does not seem too risky a bet to predict that he will win the Nokia 7 Plus which starts with a very notable advantage in battery capacity (3200 mAh against 3800 mAh) and that, in fact, it has already obtained quite positive results in independent tests.
Moto G6 Plus vs Nokia 7 Plus: final balance of the comparison and price
Apart from the differences in design that we have highlighted and our preferences in this field, although in many cases they are not too marked differences, there are quite a few details that make the overall Nokia 7 Plus seems like a superior option: its processor is superior, it is an Android One (although it is true that with the Moto G6 Plus we are going to have pure Android anyway), it has twice the internal memory and has better cameras.
It is true, of course, that it is a somewhat more expensive option, but the price difference does not really seem too significant considering the range in which we move, although of course that is already an assessment that each one will have to make: the Nokia 7 Plus can be bought now for about 380 Euros Meanwhile he Moto G6 Plus will be launched from 350 Euros.
