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.

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.
