Camera

Despite the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 offering a 13MP primary camera and a 5MP front camera as compared to the Moto M's 16MP rear camera and 8MP front camera, the Redmi Note 4 outshines the Moto M in performance. The images on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 are far more refined than that of the Moto M. Also, images shot in low light image are better on the Redmi than then Moto M.

Software

Both the devices run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS. Xiaomi's MIUI skin offers more ease of use unlike the rather boring stock Android on the Moto M, which offers a clean user experience. Furthermore, Redmi buyers can upgrade to the latest Android Nougat based OS after purchase. Advantage Xiaomi.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 beats the Moto M when it comes to the battery usage and management with its 4100 mAh processor, but it loses in the quick charging department.

Other Specs

The Moto M is a handsomely stylish smartphone with a classy metal body. Its lighter than the Redmi Note 4 and is splash proof as well. The Redmi Note 4 is only slightly more heavier than the Moto and isn't too bad looking either. A slight advantage to the Moto M here.

Which Should You Buy? Moto M Vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 4

The Moto M is a reliable smartphone but it falls short of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 in performance, camera specs and battery performance. Price is everything in a market like India and with the Moto M being Rs.3000 more than the Redmi Note 4, its hard to explain the value advantage the Moto M offers over the Note 4.  That gives us just one winner here, and that's the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4.
