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.

Xiaomi Redmi 9T

The Xiaomi Redmi 9T is an entry-level phone that shares many similarities with its counterpart, the Poco M3. However, there are some notable differences that set it apart. The design, for instance, boasts a glossy metallic finish and a splash-proof build, making it a great option for those who want peace of mind. The device also features NFC support, which is not available on the Poco M3. Under the hood, the Redmi 9T sports a Snapdragon 662 chipset, which provides decent performance but falls short in GPU-intensive tasks. This is likely due to the phone's 1080p display, which can be demanding on the processor. Despite this, the device manages to deliver excellent battery life, with our proprietary tests yielding an impressive 150 hours of usage. The cameras on the Redmi 9T are a mixed bag. The 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera is a welcome addition, but its photos lack detail and sharpness. The main camera takes good photos during the day, but struggles in low light conditions. Night mode does improve the quality, but it's still not up to par with other phones in this price range. In conclusion, the Xiaomi Redmi 9T offers a great balance of features for its price. While it may not excel in every department, it makes up for it with its splash-proof build, NFC support, and excellent battery life. For those looking for an entry-level phone that ticks all the right boxes, the Redmi 9T is definitely worth considering.
