Display and Processor
The Lenovo S660 flaunts a 4.7 inch IPS LCD capacitive touch screen display boasting a qHD resolution of 960×540 pixels that translates to a pixel density of 234 pixels per inch. Moto G on the other hand includes a smaller 4.5 inch IPS LCD capacitive touch screen display that carries HD resolution of 1280×720 pixels and a better pixel density of 326 pixels per inch. Furthermore, the Moto G display features Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection to prevent the display from scratches and damage. Being IPS panels, both the displays can deliver decent viewing angles and good color reproduction. However, carrying increased pixel density, the Moto G is the winner in the display segment. When it comes to hardware, the Lenovo S660 is equipped with a 1.3 GHz MediaTek MT6582M quad-core processor coupled with Mali 400 MP2 GPU and 1 GB of RAM. In comparison, Moto G is stuffed with a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor that is supplemented by Adreno 305 GPU and 1 GB of RAM. Hence, both the smartphones can handle good levels of multi-tasking and smooth performance.
Camera and Internal Storage
In the imaging segment, the Lenovo offering features an 8 MP primary camera teamed up with auto focus and LED flash, whereas Moto G includes a 5 MP rear camera with auto focus and LED flash.

To meet the storage needs, the Lenovo S660 packs 8 GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 32 GB with the help of a micro SD card. In comparison, the Moto G comes in two configurations – 8 GB and 16 GB of internal storage that cannot be expanded as there is no expansion slot on the device. Though Moto G has a 16 GB variant, the lack of a micro SD card slot is annoying.
