Motorola Edge 30

The Motorola Edge 30 Fusion is an upper mid-range device that boasts some impressive features, including a high-end chipset and display. Its unique design, featuring faux leather and a two-tone camera bump, gives it a business-minded and classy look. The phone also offers a fast 144hz refresh rate, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, and a large 6.55-inch POLED display. With its impressive specs and stylish design, the Edge 30 Fusion is definitely worth considering for those in the market for a solid upper mid-range device.

Samsung Galaxy M34 5G

The Samsung Galaxy M34 5G is a lower mid-range smartphone that boasts an impressive feature set for its price point under 19,000 rupees. The phone's design follows the typical Samsung pattern with vertically arranged camera modules and a clean minimalist look. However, it may not be the most impressive-looking device in its category, with a glossy back prone to fingerprint marks and minor scratches. The Galaxy M34 features a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display with a 120Hz high refresh rate, peak brightness of 1000 nits, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The camera system includes a 15-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. While the primary camera delivers excellent results, the ultrawide camera exhibits a slight color shift difference, and the macro lens doesn't quite meet expectations. The phone is powered by a 5nm Exynos 1280 chipset with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Day-to-day usage and multitasking are handled smoothly, but gaming performance may experience some heating. Samsung's excellent software update policy is a significant plus point, with four years of OS updates and five years of security updates. The Galaxy M34's 6000mAh battery ensures all-day usage, even with demanding apps and a constant 120Hz refresh rate. The phone also supports 25W fast charging, although no charger is included in the box. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M34 5G presents itself as an attractive option in the budget 5G market, offering impressive camera capabilities, a crisp AMOLED screen, reliable performance, and a long-lasting battery. While it may not excel in night photography or have the most modern design, its price point of 18,999 rupees for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant makes it worth considering.
