HTC Desire 210 Dual SIM vs Motorola Moto E

HTC Desire 210 Dual Sim and Motorola Moto E are budget smartphones.

That means they are cheap, affordable, yet very reliable devices that can handle most of the operations required by the common user. If you’re in the market for a budget Android smartphone, we can help you make the best decision by comparing these handsets and their features.

Display and Design

Right from the start Motorola offers better experience. Due to the larger screen size (4.3 inches compared to 4-inches of the HTC), reading, browsing the internet and watching movies is much more pleasing on Moto E. Motorola’s device also has a better pixel density, which translates into sharper and crisper screen. Moto E boasts a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, and density of 256ppi. Desire 210, on the other hand, competes with 480 x 800 pixels screen resolution and density of 233ppi.

HTC has an advantage when it comes to dimensions. The phone is both lighter and slimmer than its competitor. Desire 210 weighs 130 grams, while Moto weighs 142. Lightweight devices feel better in the hand, and can be held tirelessly for a long time. Desire 210 is also slimmer (10.5 mm vs 12.3mm), which makes the device easier to handle or carry in the pocket. HTC’s phone also looks more stylish and fashionable.

Hardware and Operating System

Motorola’s handset basically runs over HTC’s in this category. Moto E has more power in every segment, including a faster processor and higher RAM memory. Moto E boasts 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor with 1 GB RAM memory. HTC’s device can offer only 1GHz dual-core MediaTek processor with just 512 MB RAM memory. Due to its more powerful processor, Moto E can handle multitasking more smoothly than Desire 210.

Internal storage is a problem with both devices, but you should expect that from a budget smartphone. Both handsets have 4GB internal storage, with an option to add a microSD card and increase the memory up to 32 GB. Moto E runs the newest Android version 4.4 KitKat, while Desire 210 is stuck at Android 4.2.

Camera

Both devices carry 5-MP rear cameras, a pretty decent option for taking pictures. One downside is that neither of the phones has flash, which means that taking photos in low light conditions is tricky. One advantage of HTC’s device is the front camera. Even though it is only 0.3 MP, it still is one feature Moto E doesn’t have. And in the modern era of selfies, having a front facing camera comes in handy.

Battery

Moto E has around 52% more battery capacity than its competitor. With 1980 mAh capacity, it can last for a longer time compared to HTC Desire 210 and its 1300 mAh battery capacity.

Price

Motorola is slightly cheaper than its competitor with a starting price of around $120. HTC Desire 210, on the other hand, costs around $130.

Final Verdict

Both phones are excellent choices for budget Android device. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, and the decision depends on your preferences. HTC’s device looks better in hand, is stylish and has more storage. However, the sheer power advantage of Moto E cannot be ignored.
