Motorola DROID Maxx 2 vs Samsung Galaxy A8 HTC One A9: specs comparison

Motorola made the Droid Maxx 2 official. With mostly mid-range specs, the phone is up against some heated competition in the mid-range segment. Equipped with a 5.5-inch 1080p display, 2GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 615 chipset, a 21MP camera, and also sizeable 2,630mAh battery. Sadly, we only get Lollipop out of the box.

In this day and age, these are mid-range specs, there's no denying that, so what are the phones that should the Maxx 2 get compared against? Well, we picked Samsung's Galaxy A8 and HTC's recent One A9 as two of the more recent and interesting offerings.
