The Lenovo owned brand Motorola launched its Motorola One Power smartphone last month. The device debuts in the mid-range oriented price segment and it goes against the likes of Nokia 5.1 Plus, Realme 2 Pro and many other smartphones by Xiaomi around the same price point. Notably, this is also the first phone by the company to bear the Android One certification in India, and that’s what makes it a direct competitor of the recently launched Nokia 5.1 Plus. HMD Global has also launched the Nokia 5.1 Plus with a notch and Android One certification in India. In case you are wondering which of the two is well worth your money, down below is a comparison between both the phones to help you decide which phone to choose – Motorola One Power or the Nokia 5.1 Plus.
Nokia 5.1 Plus and Motorola One Power Similarities
Both are Android One Smartphones
This is one of the major reasons these phones go head-on against each other in the market. The Nokia 5.1 Plus comes with the Android One certification like other HMD Global phones and the Motorola One Power also boots the OS with the same accreditation as well. Both the phones come with stock Android 8.1 Oreo which will be eligible for the latest Android updates quickly and will also get the monthly security patches. The devices will also be soon in line for receiving the Android 9 Pie update as well.
Big Notch on Top
This is again one of the most significant similarities between the two phones. The Nokia 5.1 Plus sports a notch up front and the Motorola One Power also comes with a similarly styled notch. Both the phones also come with a pretty heavy chin at the bottom which features their own branding.
USB Type-C Port on a Budget
Unlike some other budget phones out there which come with the micro USB port which is considered dated and slow, the Motorola One Power and Nokia 5.1 Plus both come with the latest USB Type-C port. Although the USB Type-C on both the phones will be 2.0 instead of the standard 3.1, it will still be an upgrade from the previous models. The Motorola One Power will also come with fast charging given its massive 5000mAh battery.
microSD Card Slot
Being budget phones, both of these devices limit themselves when it comes to internal storage. However, there is no stopping the users from increasing the storage on these two phones as both, the Nokia 5.1 Plus and the Motorola One Power come with a microSD card slot. On both of these devices, users will be able to expand the storage to 256GB.
