      It stutters a bit while running Shop Titans while my old Poco X3 Pro runs the same game smoothly like butter. Maybe that will give you a good reference?

      My kids play minecraft on their G54s we just got this year for about $460 for two, this phone runs it better and more consistently smoothly than my $749 Pixel 7.

    • MrChumps on 28/02/2024 - 23:15

      Depends on the games that you'll play but aim for phones that have Snapdragons CPUs with Adreno GPUs as they are the most supported and games run better on them.

    How "average" is the average camera on these? Coming from a poco X3.

    • ldd-mn on 28/02/2024 - 22:16
      +3

      Probably worse than your Poco X3

    • ju2au on 28/02/2024 - 22:17

      Camera's pretty good under strong lighting but struggles in dim conditions (as to all cameras to some degree). However, it does offer a "pro" mode where you can manually adjust camera settings such as ISO, Shutter Speed and White Balance and save the photos in RAW format.

      Overall, I don't see that much difference from my Poco X3 Pro. However, note that I only use these phone cameras for casual snaps. For more serious photography, I break out my old DSLRs so I rarely push these phone cameras to their extremes.

    • utsc on 28/02/2024 - 22:33

      $200 - 5G 8/128GB eSIM anything else is a Bonus

      Not an Android vs iPhone debate but if the budget is low and need a reliable phone with most features and new battery you can not go wrong

      Should be somewhat of a speed boost.

      I said this before and i will say it again. Not afraid to say it over and over.

      That karate chop action to open the camera flash should be baked into android.

      Same for the twist action to open camera app.

      Buy the phone and a pool noodle. You know those long foam thing

      Cut a piece long enough to wrap around the side of it.

      Then cut a slit so the phone is snug into the slit.

      Hot glue so it stays around the phone.

      Then using a scalpel cut out pieces so one can still use the phone but it wont fall out.

    • Funjolt on 28/02/2024 - 23:47

      I missed out on g14 also. Not sure if that will come down again.

    • Heero on 29/02/2024 - 02:39

      Buy the kid a dumbphone. Teach them the value of looking after their belongings. Don't reward them with an upgrade or else they'll start breaking them on purpose.

    That CPU how is it compare to Snapdragon and Kirin??

    • xoom on 28/02/2024 - 22:44
      +2

      They are comparing it to a snapdragon 695 and kirin 980.

      Though the mediatek 7020 nudges ahead slightly i still prefer snapdragon as the difference is only minimal.

      • neonlight on 28/02/2024 - 22:53

        I can’t recall what phones use those CPUs any examples? but for this price is quite unbeatable

        • xoom on 28/02/2024 - 22:56

          The g82 has a 695. Huawei p30 pro has kirin 980. Just as an example.

    • kingmoron on 28/02/2024 - 22:51

      Using whilst getting pixel 6 fixed. Can't even tell the difference . Well except pixel 6 is hotter..

      • neonlight on 28/02/2024 - 22:53

        So basically in a nutshell a pixel 6 performance but with Motorola skin and better hardware

    • quill on 29/02/2024 - 00:51

      7020=dimensity 930. You can compare here https://www.socpk.com/cpucurve/ . Use 920 as it's the closest. Has a better cpu curve until 3w, then gets beaten by snapdragon 865. Gpu wise, horrendous. Has the same power curve as the 855 but extremely gimped low power, 2W vs 5w https://www.socpk.com/gpucurve/ But for the price I guess it's ok?

      I have a G82 and a G54. In my opinion, the G54 is as good as the G82 in just about every way.

      Being IPS, the screen isn't quite as good. The brightness is about the same on axis but brightness, contrast and black levels drop a bit off axis and it has a slightly cooler hue no matter what the setting.I have both set at natural with the colour temperature at the middle setting. I don't find it an issue in everyday use, but my eyes are old and worn out, lol.

      Couple of other differences, the G54 has e-sim, OTG and reverse charging if any of that is important to you.

      Ultimately, I would be happy with either. And am happy with both of them.
