Pros and Cons

Motorola Moto G53

Strengths

The phone offers a gloriously stock vanilla Android experience
You've got some pretty decent specs, display is unfortunately nothing tried home about but the battery life absolutely bloody wonderful
The camera is easy to use one-handed and you can drag down all the major toggles with a single thumb like sir in photomod by default
You've got lots of other bonus camera modes you can play around with, like some portrait modes, a dedicated night vision board, and a 50 megapixel Ultra res mode
The battery life is absolutely bloody wonderful, easily giving you a full day of play, most likely two days of use between charges
You've got that energy efficient Snapdragon 480 plus chipset and the stock Android Vibe as well

Weaknesses

The display is unfortunately nothing tried home about
There's no Optical image stabilization in the camera, making it less reliable in low-light conditions
The macro effort is a bit of a disappointment with only a 2 megapixel sensor
The charging speed is a bit slow at 10 watts, which can take ages to fill up that 5 000 milliamp hour capacity cell
The camera struggles in lower light conditions and HDR situations, producing blurry or gritty images
You might want to look at the likes of Xiaomi Redmi smartphones if you're after absolutely Tip-Top performance at this sort of price point

Motorola Moto G53

The Motorola Moto G53 is an affordable smartphone that offers a pure Android experience without the bloat of unnecessary software. Priced at £189, it's a budget-friendly option for those who want a hassle-free device with decent specs. The phone boasts a 5,000mAh battery, which provides more than a day of use, and a 50MP primary camera with a 2MP macro sensor. While the display may not be top-notch, the Moto G53's strengths lie in its efficient performance, snappy interface, and reliable battery life.

Ulefone Power Armor 13

The Ulefone Power Armor 13 is a behemoth of a phone, weighing in at an astonishing 492 grams, making it the largest and heaviest device I've ever had the pleasure of trying. While its size may be intimidating, this rugged phone packs a punch with its impressive feature set. Under the hood, you'll find the Mediatek Helio G95 processor paired with 8GB of RAM, delivering snappy performance that's more than capable of handling demanding tasks and games. The phone runs Android 11 out of the box, with a light launcher that feels remarkably close to stock Android. I was impressed by how fast it opens apps, switches between them, and even handles graphics-intensive games like Call of Duty. The display is another highlight, offering a larger screen than most rugged phones, making it perfect for those who need a device that can keep up with their active lifestyle. The battery life is equally impressive, providing days of use without needing to be plugged in. While the cameras are decent, they're not exactly setting any standards. In good light conditions, images are passable, but as soon as you venture into low-light situations, things start to degrade quickly. Video recording maxes out at 4K at 30fps, but lacks stabilization, resulting in shaky footage. The Ulefone Power Armor 13 is a solid choice for those seeking a rugged phone that can keep up with their active lifestyle. Its impressive battery life, larger screen, and robust feature set make it stand out from the competition. However, its massive size and weight may be a turn-off for some users, making it more suited to those who prioritize functionality over form. Overall, I'd say the Ulefone Power Armor 13 is a step up from other rugged phones on the market, but its size and weight may limit its appeal to some. If you're in the market for a reliable and feature-packed phone that can withstand the rigors of daily use, this device is definitely worth considering.
