Moto Z4 (2019) vs Nokia 4.2 (2019)

We couldn't find enough data on either product to be able to come to any reliable conclusions. We highly recommend that you take a look at some other options instead.

While the Moto Z4 (2019) wasn't able to make it to the very top of any roundups from sources that perform quality hands-on testing, it still got featured in a large number of them. PhoneArena, PCmag, Techradar, The Verge, Android Authority, and Android Central have all deemed it worthy of a place on their respective shortlists.

Moving on to the Nokia 4.2 (2019): it has performed really well in a handful of roundups done by reliable sources that perform their own objective testing, like Android Central, Good Housekeeping, and MakeUseOf - it was awarded the "Best for Tight Budgets" title by Android Central, "Best budget smartphone for hassle-free updates" by Good Housekeeping, and "Ranked 1 out of 5" by MakeUseOf, which marks it as a worthy candidate.

To get a better idea of how they fare when compared directly to each other, we analyzed review scores of sources that tested both. Techradar and Digitaltrends, for example, preferred the Moto Z4 (2019), while The Verge and Android Central rated both of them the same.

We also took a look at which sources had the best things to say about them. We learned that the Moto Z4 (2019) got reviewed the highest by PhoneArena - it gave it a rating of 9, while the Nokia 4.2 (2019) most impressed reviewers at Notebookcheck.net, which gave it a score of 8.1.

Lastly, we compared their average review performance to that of the rest of their competition and found that neither option got received particularly well. With an average rating of 7.1 out of 10, the Moto Z4 (2019) performed similarly to most other Smartphones on the market - the overall average review score for this product category being 7.5 - while the Nokia 4.2 (2019) did worse than most, with its average of 5.6 points.

There's one caveat here - a direct Moto Z4 (2019) vs. Nokia 4.2 (2019) comparison might not be entirely justifiable due to the difference in their pricing and the fact that some sources tend to give lower ratings to cheaper products because they don't take value for money into account.
