X lacks any expansion capability. The Galaxy has IP67 certification for water and dust 
resistance, while the Moto X has only water resistant characteristics. The 16-megapixel 
camera and fingerprint sensor also give the Galaxy S5 the edge over its Motorola counterpart.
The only drawback to the Samsung Galaxy S5 is that it has an older version of the Android 
KitKat OS.

Talking Points:
Motorola released the Moto X in September 2014 as the successor to its predecessor with the 
same name. It features a better design, a metal frame and a quad-core CPU. The Moto X has 
been part of Motorola's return to popularity before the brand was occupied by Google. The 
company has already announced that the model will not be available on Sprint. 

The Galaxy S5 was released in April 2014 with an even more powerful camera and some 
special health-monitoring features over its predecessor. The company shipped more than 
11 million S5's within the first month, beating its predecessor by a million. It is worth noting 
that despite the record sales, the company recorded its lowest profits in 2 years in July 
2014.

Prices: 
The Motorola Moto X's cost starts at $500, while the Galaxy S5 comes with a price tag of 
$599.99.

Conclusion:
Both the Moto X and Galaxy S5 are pitted against each other to be matching in almost all 
sections. The Galaxy S5 however takes away the title of the better phone because of its 
expandable storage capacity and a more powerful camera lens.
