Realme 7
Realme 7 is the successor of Realme 6 and offers various improved features such as new SoC, a bigger battery and a new primary rear camera. It also has an improved design which makes it look much more elegant and thinner than Realme 6. However, due to bigger battery size it has more weight and feels bulkier as a result of which it can get a little fatiguing to use.
Rest of the features remain similar as the Realme 6. Realme 7 provides amazing gaming experience, thanks to the 90 Hz refresh rate and speedy SoC. Also, with good brightness and a heavy battery this phone could easily last a day or more for heavy users. 30W charger provided in the box helps to charge the phone fairly quickly.
The main rear camera of Realme 7 works a little better than Realme 6 in both daytime and nighttime, but the camera sensors in both the phones are still the same. The quality of video is decent in daytime but it could be better in nighttime. If one already has Realme 6 then it makes sense to directly switch to Realme 7 without thinking twice.
Motorola G9
Motorola G-series have always been loved by the people and also a backbone of Motorola in the Indian smartphone market. Motorola G9 is first launched in India and offer some great features at this price. One of the highlighted features is the lean version of Android, which Motorola calls MyUX. It gives a stock android experience backed with Motorola’s classic smartphone gestures.
Motorola G9 feels a little heavy and bulky but it is one the few smartphones available which have dedicated Google Assistant button. It is first phone in India to feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC, which does a decent job of keeping things running smoothly. Battery life of this phone was satisfactory but it sometimes takes longer than usual to load some heavy games.
Camera quality is quite decent and takes up some great photos in daylight. It suffers a bit in low-light but night mode helps a bit. Overall, Motorola G9 is a great phone if one wants a lean Android experience and can compromise a bit on processor.
