realme 9 Pro+

The Realme 9 Pro is the latest mid-ranger from the brand, serving as a successor to the Realme 8s 5G. It boasts a larger screen, bigger battery, and new chipset, but falls short in its camera setup compared to its sibling, the Realme 9 Pro+. Design-wise, the phone has an identical design to its predecessor with a distinctive camera island, available in Midnight Black or Sunrise Blue variants. The glossy back catches fingerprints easily, but the flat sides make it feel sharp along the edges. The display is a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is a step up from the 90Hz OLED panel on the Pro+. However, gaming performance was disappointing, stuck at 60Hz despite efforts to increase it. Battery life is excellent, lasting 134 hours on our tests, thanks to its 5000mAh capacity and 33W charger. The phone's new Snapdragon 695 5G chipset handles day-to-day tasks well but stumbles with games. The camera setup, although improved from the Realme 8s 5G, still disappoints in terms of color accuracy and noise levels, particularly in low-light conditions. Selfies are also underwhelming. Overall, the Realme 9 Pro is a solid mid-ranger with a great display, fast charging, and up-to-date software. While it may not be the best value on the market, it's still a recommended choice for those seeking a 5G-capable device.

Motorola Moto G60

The Motorola Moto G60 is an intriguing mid-range smartphone that checks many boxes on the feature list. Priced around $300, this device boasts a massive 6,000mAh battery, 108MP back camera, and 4K-capable front camera with LED flash. Other notable specs include a high-refresh-rate display (120Hz), 8nm Qualcomm processor, and 4GB RAM. This phone offers impressive value for its price, making it a strong contender in the budget-friendly market.
