Indian smartphone market is flooded with smartphones under 20K, making it impossible for an average consumer to decide which smartphone to buy. To make it simpler for you guys, we have listed two of the most prominent smartphone makers offering great new devices. It’s Samsung Vs. Moto and we compare the Samsung Galaxy J7 and the Moto G4 Plus head to head.
But, first a brief about these two popular series by these renowned smartphone makers. The Moto G series has been the game changer for Motorola(now Moto) in India. The first generation Moto G was the comeback device for Motorola as a brand in India. Since then the Moto G series has been the most successful series for the brand, the last generation i.e. the Moto G3 was one of the best device by the company offering IPX7 certification at an affordable price.
Moving on the Samsung’s J series, the J could very well stand for Jealous as these devices offer so much value for money that it makes other smartphone makers and owners of other smartphones feel jealous. As a tech expert, I feel the J series is the real deal for Samsung staying as the market leader in India. Not only the J series offer design language seen in the top end Samsung smartphone but also the features are unique to the series.
I must congratulate Samsung on turning the tables in 2016 with excellent flagship devices in S7 and S7 edge and also the new mid-ranger J series.
