Motorola Moto E30

The Motorola Moto E30 is a budget-friendly smartphone that packs a punch with its impressive specs. With a 5,000mAh battery that lasts an astonishingly long time, this device is perfect for those who want a phone that can keep up with their busy lives. The camera capabilities are also noteworthy, producing bright and colorful photos, even in low-light conditions. Priced at £99 in the UK, it's hard to find fault in the Moto E30's value proposition. But does its modest RAM and storage hold it back from being a truly great device?

Huawei Nova 8i

The Huawei Nova 8i promises to deliver an impressive blend of style, performance, and features. Its sleek design, complete with slim bezels, is sure to turn heads, while its stunning display is a visual treat. However, beneath its attractive exterior lies a processor that may leave some wanting more power. The camera resolution is also a point of interest, as it has the potential to capture incredible moments, but only if it can live up to expectations. Overall, this device seems to be a solid contender in the mid-range market, but will it truly deliver on its promises?
