Pros and Cons

Motorola Moto g Play

Strengths

I'm really happy here with what we're getting
You can definitely capture images that are plenty good for social media maybe you're on vacation you want to capture your various memories and preserve them for the long term I definitely think that the cameras here are perfectly adequate for that
The video and audio quality is pretty good especially for a lower end phone like this one we do have very fast autofocus and video mode as well which is awesome
The speakers get decently loud and it's great to see a headphone jack

Weaknesses

Only 32 gigs of storage which I pointed out in this video
No 5G which I definitely have to be only one of the main shortcomings for me
No NFC so if you're okay with those very shortcomings and you don't want to spend too much on a smartphone then I do think the Moto G play 2023 is worth considering
The phone is made completely of plastic besides the display which is glass, so keep that in mind so you definitely will want to pair this phone up with some sort of case just because plastic is more prone to getting scratched up

Honor X7

Strengths

Using the Honor X7 with its 720p display is surprisingly good unless you're really pixel peeping
The display is actually really nice and it's very smooth thanks to that 90 hertz refresh rate
Battery life is absolutely amazing, easily getting through a day
The large five thousand milliamp hour battery supports 22.5 watt fast charging
General everyday performance has been absolutely fine on the Honor X7 for multitasking and light gaming
The camera system takes some nice photos with a reasonable amount of detail
The Honor X7 is packing four gigabytes of ram with 128 gigabytes of internal storage, which should be enough for most users
The phone has a single bottom firing speaker, usb c charging port, microphone and 3.5 millimeter headphone jack

Weaknesses

The display is only 720p, which may not be ideal in 2022
There's no 5g support on the Honor X7, with a qualcomm snapdragon 680 4g processor
The camera system has inconsistent focus and poor quality video without stabilization
The five megapixel ultrawide camera is a big step down compared to other phones with eight megapixel ultrawides
The selfie camera on the Honor X7 is trash, with dull color reproduction and low photo quality
There's no stabilization on any of the cameras, resulting in budget phone quality video
The phone runs Magic UI version 4.2 on top of Android 11, which may not be ideal for some users
Compared to other phones like the Motorola G31, the Honor X7 has a worse camera system and less stock Android experience

Motorola Moto g Play

The Motorola Moto G Play is an affordable smartphone that packs a punch despite its modest price tag. With a large display, decent camera capabilities, and impressive battery life, this device is perfect for those who want a reliable phone without breaking the bank. However, like any budget-friendly option, it comes with some compromises, such as limited storage space, no 5G connectivity, and the absence of NFC capabilities. This review will delve into the pros and cons of the Moto G Play to help you decide if it's the right choice for your needs.

Honor X7

The Honor X7 is a mid-range smartphone that arrived on the market in April 2022. Despite its relatively modest specs, including a 720p display and Android 11, I found it to be surprisingly good for everyday use. The phone's performance was more than sufficient for social media, camera usage, and light gaming. However, some areas of the device fell short, particularly the inconsistent focus on the main camera and lackluster selfie camera quality.
