Now we try to place it side-by-side the recent Moto X Style that is on the same price range as the OnePlus 2. Here’s a specs comparison of the two.

Motorola’s Moto X Style didn’t get left behind in terms of specs when compared to the OnePlus 2. The former has some pretty impressive advantages over the latter such us a bigger QHD display, NFC, and a higher pixel sensor for the rear camera.

In contrast, The Moto X still falls short in other aspects like in the processing department where OnePlus 2 has a faster Snapdragon octa-core CPU and bigger RAM running the show. As for the price, the Moto X Style is a bit more costly at $399, compared to the $329 and $389 tags of the OnePlus 2.
