PROS

  1. Triple Rear Camera Setup: Features a 13MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP depth sensor for versatile photography options.
  2. Solid Battery Performance: The 4000mAh battery provides reliable, long-lasting power for over a day of normal use.
  3. Stock Android Experience: Runs clean, near-stock Android with Motorola's useful enhancements, limiting bloatware.
  4. Decent Performance: Powered by the capable MediaTek Helio P70M processor which handles everyday tasks and light gaming efficiently.
  5. Fast Fingerprint Sensor: The rear-mounted fingerprint scanner is quick and reliable, situated in an ergonomic position.
  6. USB Type-C Charging: Includes a modern USB-C port, which is an improvement over older micro-USB budget phones.
  7. Expandable Storage: Supports microSD cards up to 512GB, allowing for ample media storage.
  8. 3.5mm Headphone Jack: Retains the traditional headphone jack for wired audio convenience.

  10. Good Price-to-Performance Ratio: Offers solid, reliable mid-range specifications at an affordable budget price.

CONS

  1. Only 2GB of RAM: The base model's 2GB RAM can lead to slow multitasking and apps closing in the background.
  2. Low Display Resolution: The 6.2-inch screen is only HD+ (720 x 1520), resulting in less crisp, low-resolution visuals.
  3. Low Internal Storage: Starts with only 32GB of internal storage, which can fill up quickly.
  4. No NFC Support: Lacks an NFC sensor, meaning it cannot be used for contactless mobile payments.
  5. Slow Charging Speed: The 10W charging is slow, taking a long time to charge the 4000mAh battery.
  6. Hybrid SIM Slot: The second SIM slot is hybrid, requiring you to choose between dual SIMs or a microSD card.
  7. Outdated Android Version: Launched with Android 9 (Pie), which is outdated compared to newer standards.
  8. Weak Low-Light Camera: Camera performance drops significantly in low light, producing grainy and noisy photos.
  9. Plastic Body: The build material is plastic, which feels less premium and can pick up scratches easily.
  10. No 5G Support: The device is limited to 4G LTE, which is not future-proof for high-speed networks
