With all the mobiles that there are to choose from, the cheapest ones always have to be very well analyzed so as not to be mistaken. Two of the brands that offer the best options in this price range are Motorola and Realme, which this year have brought interesting news that will make it very difficult for us to choose between one model and the other. Specifically we refer to the Moto G9 Play and the Realme 6i .
To make this easier and easier for you, we are going to buy each section and highlight of the devices. Our intention is that you make the best purchase and your decision is not a mistake, so in the end we give you a cable to decide. You also have to personally assess each of the aspects, for some the battery is much more important than the camera or vice versa and this is very important to be clear about it.
Design and displays
We start by looking at the aesthetic section of these two mobile phones, where at a glance we see that Motorola and Realme have many differences when it comes to design. Motorola opts for a triple camera in a square and centered format, while the Realme 6i includes its cameras in vertical format. The fingerprint reader is behind on both phones, which offers a similar result.
The screen of the Motorola and Realme are the same, they share LCD technology and also measures so that its 6.5 inches are at our disposal. The front with a small notch in the shape of a drop is also nailed although the use is slightly better in the Realme.
Qualcomm vs. Mediatek
To move the system and the applications, a different processor is integrated in each one of them, Motorola on the side of Qualcomm with the Snapdragon 662 and Realme with Mediatek and the Helio G80 model. Both with a practically traced performance and that give special prominence to the configuration.
The Realme 6i arrive with 3 and 4 GB of RAM for 64 or 128 GB respectively. While the Moto G9 Play is only available with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. In both cases they have the possibility of adding a MicroSD card.
Cameras for all tastes
We start with more identical aspects, since the main camera is the same , 48 Mpx for the best result. The second lens of the Realme 6i is a wide angle with which Motorola does not compete and integrates a third macro lens that we also find in the Realme. Finally a 2 Mpx being to obtain depth details and get the bokeh effect.
Pro in front, the best selfie camera is the Realme 6i with its 16 Mpx compared to the 8 Mpx of the Moto G9 Play. In the recording functions everything is precisely identical, with electronic stabilizer, autofocus and color correction in addition to HDR.
Batteries and connectivity
At this point the two mobiles will arrive at the end of the day with battery, its great addition with 5,000 mAh offers them an unparalleled autonomy. We also have to add a fast charge of 18W to the Realme and 20W for the Moto G9 Play. In both cases with USB Type C and giving this step to connectivity.
4G networks are present in both models, as well as Bluetooth 5.0. A big flaw is that only the Moto G9 Play has NFC and will allow us to pay with the mobile, including an audio jack in both models.
Pure Android vs Realme UI
The tastes of each play an important point also in this case, since we find that the Moto G9 Play integrates Android stock in its version 10. The Realme 6i, on the other hand, includes Realme UI as its own customization layer. The options will be more varied for the Realme model but nevertheless the performance of the Moto G9 Play will be simpler and more agile as it has fewer additions. The two mobiles can give us what we need, it will only be a matter of our preferences.
Prices and conclusions
As a final point but not least the price, where the Realme 6i is cheaper when connecting it for 159 euros in its version with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of memory. On the contrary, the Moto G9 Play has a starting price of 189 euros for the version with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of memory.
These prices and looking at everything we have seen, make us opt for the Realme 6i . Both phones are going to be up to what we ask of them, but if we want to save money and also have more memory it will be an easy edition to take.
