Moto G 5G in India has been introduced at the lowest price of Rs 20,999 while OnePlus Nord is available at the current pricing of Rs 24,999. The Motorola device offers more storage than the OnePlus smartphone at a lesser price. Also, Nord offers a smaller display than Moto G but we consider the smaller and slimmer display as it becomes easier to be carried in a pocket. Also, Moto has a slot for a memory card to expand the internal storage while Nord doesn’t. Motorola also offers more battery capacity to last longer. But in terms of camera capabilities, the OnePlus Nord takes the lead as it offers better camera resolution and also has dual front camera. However, Moto G 5G is a little better value for money but OnePlus Nord offers premium build quality with a better camera capability. So, you can choose any of these smartphones as per your requirement. If you are looking for more of a camera focused phone then we would opt for Nord but if you are interested in an affordable option then our pick is Moto G 5G.
