Both the devices feature a 5-inch HD display with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels sans any protection. The Nokia 2 clearly seems to have an advantage in the design department, and Xiaomi’s Redmi 4 is also a great choice if you want a metal-bodied smartphone in a tight budget, but just ignore the Moto C Plus.
