He is reported to have a 25% faster processor A7 (iPhone 5s) and by 50% exceeds it in graphics performance. In all of this, it consumes 50% less energy.

None of the phones are not considered demonstrates the strong superiority over the other.
Design :
It seems that Motorola, and Apple agree that today, the bigger the screen, the better. Display iPhone 6 grew to 4.7 inches and has a resolution of 1334 x 750. In Moto X screen more - compared with the previous model, it increased from 4.7 to 5.2 inches and has a higher resolution - 1920 x 1080 pixels. For this reason, the flagship Motorola somewhat more cumbersome, thick and heavier than the iPhone 6. The main changes that are taking design iPhone, refer to the shape of the power button, which has been moved to the top of the devaysa on his right side, and the camera became slightly protrude from the rear panel .
The iPhone 6 and Moto X 2014 compared to previous versions of modified housing. At Apple smartphone full metal body, and at Moto X - thin metal edging around the perimeter of the device, but the frame around the screen has been reduced in order to free up more screen space the front panel. IPhone Screen 6 also takes on the front panel more space than before, his body gained some roundness.
Metal panels iPhone 6 contrasted very beautiful "leather" finish Moto X. As for colors, which include telephones, there is an advantage in Moto X. It's hard to find an option of external design of the phone, which would be available to him. And iPhone 6, meanwhile, comes in the same colors as the 5s - golden, black and gray.
Build quality is better than the iPhone 6, and became the leader in customization Moto X.
Camera :
The iPhone 6 Camera several better. The phone has a 1.2-megapixel front camera FaceTime. In this newest iPhone can not boast "megapixel" and the main camera devaysa located on its rear panel. It is 8.1 megapixel. But we all know that the megapixels - not the point. Apple announced that the iPhone 6 has iSight, allows the camera to better define the face and control the exposure. It is able to shoot HD-video at 1080p and even perform slow motion at 60 frames per second.
On the rear panel Moto X is a 13-megapixel camera. But, despite this, the clarity of the photos above in iPhone 6. However, the camera never were the strong point of Motorola. The camera Moto X is able to satisfy most users fotopotrebnosti despite the superior clarity of images photographed by the camera of the new smartphone Apple.
Camera The iPhone 6 is better, despite the lower "megapixel".
Which of these phones you would find the best? Unlike HTC One M8, all-metal body in Moto X No, but really plastic casing of the phone is so unattractive that his presence immediately convinces users prefer a phone that has such a body? Meanwhile, the plastic case Galaxy S5 does not prevent it considered one of the most interesting public smartphones of the year.
