Plastic design might be a popular choice for smartphone makers but metallic body always overshadows a firm polycarbonate design and that why we give this round to Xiaomi Mi3. The Chinese mobile maker wraps its smartphone in a solid Aluminum- Magnesium chassis that looks way too cool and sturdy compare to Moto G’s plastic body.

Xiami Mi3 packs high quality flagship phone like display of IPS 1080X1920 pixels on 5 inch screen that matches most high end smartphone’s display with 441 ppi. On the other end Moto G has 4.5 inch display screen that has a resolution of 720X1280 pixels that gives 326 ppi pixels density.

Software:

Camera:

Like other features Xiaomi Mi3 also dominate the camera segment with 13 Megapixels rear camera and 2 megapixels  front facing camera dual flash and auto mode. While the  Moto G offers mere 5 megapixels rear and 2 MP front camera along with an LED flash.
