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.

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.
