Pros and Cons

Motorola Moto G50

Strengths

The Moto G50 has a 5,000 milliamp cell that should keep you going all day effortlessly.
It supports 15 watt charging, although only comes with a 10 watt charger in the box.
The camera UI is fairly simple and streamlined compared to some other budget smartphones.
The primary sensor shoots 12 megapixel images by default using four in one pixel bin for HDR.
You have access to various camera settings just by dragging up on the display.

Weaknesses

The phone has a 720p display, which isn't as good as some rivals for streaming media and gaming.
You only get a 10 watt charger bundled in the box, when it supports 15 watt charging.
The rear camera doesn't have an ultra-wide angle lens.
The macro shooter is low resolution (5 megapixels) and might not be worth using.
The front camera isn't reliable for capturing high-quality photos.

Motorola Moto G30

Strengths

The phone has a respectable 64 megapixel quad pixel primary sensor that captures decent looking 16 meg pictures by default.
You can knock up the resolution to maximum 64 mega level by using the ultra rays bonus camera mode, which produces sharp and good-looking pics when the lighting is strong.
The phone works hard to capture worthy shots with minimal effort from your good self, with moving subjects being generally blur-free as long as they aren't right up in your face.
The 5000 milliamp battery will not be drained at the end of even a super long intensive deal unless you're literally piddling about with the camera or gaming on the thing non-stop.
The phone's battery life is strong, lasting two full days between charges with standard everyday use.
The 20 watt turbo charger is fast and efficient.
The phone has a good quality selfie cam that can cope with crappy conditions and turn out some good looking portrait snaps.
The phone offers better performance, camera tech, and a 90 hertz display compared to the Moto G10.
