Design and display

The mid-range has adopted the best design features of the high-end terminals. Thus, today almost all have glass on the back and metal frames. And these two models are no exception.

The Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 sports a very glossy finish, in black, blue or gold. The edges are quite rounded and the triple camera sits in the upper left corner and in a vertical position. In addition, it is very well integrated, since it protrudes very little and the background of the camera is the same color as the rest of the terminal.

We have nothing else in the back, being quite clean. Where is the fingerprint reader placed then? On one of the sides of the mobile. The terminal has a small indentation so that we can detect it comfortably.

As for the screen, we have a 6-inch Super AMOLED panel. This has a FHD + resolution of 1,080 x 2,220 pixels, with an 18.5: 9 aspect ratio. We do not have a notch, but we do have black frames both at the top and at the bottom.

The full dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 are 159.8 x 76.8 x 7.5mm, with a weight of 168 grams.

The Motorola Moto One also bets on glass and metal. The double camera of the terminal is located in the upper left part, also in a vertical position. However, in this model we have the two sensors separate and not forming a tandem as is usual.

In the center of the back we find the fingerprint reader. This has a circular format and is under the M of the brand's logo. As for the front, we have a 5.9-inch screen and HD + resolution of 720 x 1,520 pixels. It has a 19: 9 aspect ratio, with a large notch at the top. At the bottom we also have a black frame, as well as on the sides of the screen.

The full dimensions of the Motorola Moto One are 150 x 72 x 7.97 millimeters, with a weight of 162 grams. The terminal is available in black and white.

Photographic set

Photography has become one of the most important points in a mobile phone. Innovation in this field continues to advance, to such an extent that we already have three sensors in a terminal that exceeds 300 euros for very little.

The Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 is equipped with a 24-megapixel main sensor, f / 1.7 aperture and autofocus system. It is accompanied by a second 8 megapixel lens with f / 2.4 aperture and 13 mm sensor, ideal for wide-angle shots. And finally, it includes a third 5 megapixel sensor with f / 2.2 aperture. This is responsible for providing depth to the shots, thus achieving the desired bokeh effect.

In addition, the main camera of the new Galaxy A7 is equipped with an LED flash and is capable of recording video in FHD quality at 30fps. For its part, the front camera is made up of a 24 megapixel sensor and f / 2.0 aperture. There is no lack of the usual artificial intelligence system with scene recognition, so common this year.

Something simpler is the system of its rival in this comparison. The Motorola Moto One is equipped with a double sensor on the rear. The main one offers a 13-megapixel resolution with f / 2.0 aperture and PDAF focusing system. As for the secondary, it offers a resolution of only 2 megapixels, f / 2.4 aperture and 1.75 µm pixels.

The main camera is capable of recording 4K resolution video at 30fps. In addition, the terminal has several creative modes for recording, such as Cinemagraphs.

As for the front camera, it includes an 8 megapixel sensor with f / 2.2 aperture and 1.12 µm pixels. It is accompanied by an LED flash and is capable of recording video with 1080p resolution.

Processor and memory

Let's now talk about the technical capacity of these two terminals. The Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 equips a processor with eight cores, four running at 2.2 GHz and the other four at 1.6 GHz. Accompanying it we have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage.

The smartphone is DualSIM and has three card trays. That is, we can use two nanoSIMs simultaneously without having to give up the microSD card. This, by the way, can be up to 512 GB.

To control all this hardware it has Android 8.0 Oreo along with Samsung's Touchwiz customization layer.

For its part, the Motorola Moto One is equipped with a Snapdragon 625 processor manufactured by Qualcomm. It is a CPU with eight cores at 2.0 GHz and Adreno 506 GPU at 650 MHz. Accompanying the processor we have 4 GB of RAM.

For storage it includes 64 GB and the possibility of using MicroSD cards. These can be up to 256GB. As an operating system we have Android 8.1 Oreo in its One version, that is, pure.

Autonomy and connectivity

Inside the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 we find a 3,300 mAh battery. This, curiously, is recharged through a Micro USB 2.0 port. It is a somewhat strange decision from Samsung, since any mid-range device already uses the USB Type-C connector. This makes the phone not have any fast charging technology.

In terms of autonomy, the phone has behaved correctly in our in-depth test. With moderate use, it lasts the whole day without problems. If we make a high use we will have more problems to reach the end of the day.

Its rival in this comparison has a smaller battery. The Motorola Moto One hides inside a 3,000 milliamp battery that is charged through the USB Type C port. It also includes 15 W TurboPower charging, which will give us up to 8 hours of power in just 20 minutes of charging.. And yes, the TurboPower charger is included in the terminal package.

How does this battery behave? As we could see in our in-depth analysis, the Motorola Moto One can handle the entire day of use without problems. This is achieved thanks to the use of a screen with a lower resolution, as well as the use of version One of the Android operating system.

In terms of connectivity, the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 opts for Bluetooth 5.0 instead of the 4.2 that Motorola equips. Both also have NFC. However, we must give Motorola a touch of attention, since the Moto One has 802.11n WiFi instead of 802.11ac, which limits the speed of the device's Internet connection.

Conclusions and price

We reached the end of the comparison and we must draw conclusions. Let's start with the design. As we always say, it is something very personal for each user. I personally like the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 better, but the truth is that they are very similar.

As for the screen, we give the winner to the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018. It has AMOLED technology and also with a higher resolution. The similar happens in the photographic section, where the A7 is superior to the Motorola Moto One.

And again the Samsung terminal wins when we talk about performance. Although the technical set of both phones is very similar, the performance tests do not lie. The Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 is more powerful than its rival in this comparison, with 123,046 points in AnTuTu compared to the 81,343 points obtained by Motorola.

In autonomy is, perhaps, where the results are more equal. Both can reach the end of the day without too much trouble, although they suffer if we make intensive use. Even so, we consider the Motorola Moto One the winner, since it gets a little more autonomy thanks to the operating system.

Finally, we must give another positive point to the Motorola mobile due to the incorporation of fast charging and the USB C connector. But also a negative point for including 802.11n WiFi.

We only need to talk about prices. The Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 is on sale with an official price of 350 euros. As for the Motorola Moto One, it is sold with an official price of 300 euros.
