2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Looks snazzy - the plastic chassis is finished in 2 colour gradient, which fades from a lighter to a darker shade as you cast your eyes downward
- The front has pleasingly rounded edges and slimline bezels with a tear-drop notch that looks striking, for a phone at this price
- Decent fingerprint sensor at the back
- Vibrant, large 6.5-inches IPS display - the images on the screen have a good amount of pop thanks to the display’s reasonably high contrast (though, the Redmi 9 Prime offers a Full HD display at this price)
- Sunlight legibility is good
- Motorola continues to keep the software on it's phones clean, and simple - it's basically stock Android with a few useful Moto add-ons
- Decent performance from the Snapdragon 460 - there's no issue in regular use, thanks to the clean and light software Motorola uses
- Good dual rear camera setup - a 48MP primary module, and a 2MP depth sensor
- In daylight, photos carry a good amount of details with bright colors and high contrasts - colours are boosted slightly to enhance appeal but the camera never overdoes it
- Low-light shooting is surprisingly good for the price - images appear bright, and the camera does an excellent job of teasing textures out from the shadows without adding too much visual noise
- Portrait mode is also good - the depth detection is good and subject separation is on par with other Motorola phones
- The 8MP selfie camera does a good job at taking clear sharp photos and it also offers a selfie portrait mode, which works well
- Excellent battery life from the 5000 mAh battery - a full charge will easily last you for 2 days of regular use
- The Motorola E7 Plus has good cameras for this price, it impresses with a quality user experience, and solid performance, battery life is good too, lastly, the design is trendy and it stands out among the phones from Redmi and Realme with its classy touches
|
- Well-built, sturdy design - the unique dual-tone ridged pattern similar to other Poco phones at the back looks really nice
- The front carries a dew-drop notch with decent bezels, which works for the price
- The textured back surface feels grippy and doesn't attract fingerprints
- The Face Unlock works decently in well-lit surroundings (though it leaves you at the helm of the passcode at night)
- It doesn't feel too thick or heavy even though it measures around 9mm and weighs 194g
- Good 6.53-inch IPS HD+ display - the viewing angles and colours are pretty good, better than those of the Realme C12 and C15
- The brightness is also adequate (though, it could have been better)
- MIUI 11 is as feature rich as ever, the overall interface on the phone is user friendly - Android 10 is running beneath all the jazz
- Decent entry-level performance from the MediaTek Helio G35 SoC - good for day-to-day tasks and can handle a bunch of light to medium apps at once (though, there's some noticeable stutter in the animations and opening apps at times)
- Decent triple rear cameras for the price - a 13MP primary camera, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor
- The quality of photos from the main camera is decent, given enough light - shots came out looking crisp and vivid
- The macro camera works nicely, it produces usable photos in well-lit conditions for social media
- Portrait mode works fairly well, even for objects
- The 5MP selfie camera can produce decent selfies during the day - photos maintain good color, and exposure levels
- Very good battery life - easily able to go about a day and half or even longer, on a single charge
- The Poco C3 is a good smartphone for first-time buyers, or for those wanting a cheap secondary phone
|
2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- At 200g, the phone is reasonably hefty
- It also picks up greasy fingerprints a little too easily
- However, this is not the most powerful phone at this price and gaming on this phone is a no go - the Realme Narzo 10A and Redmi 9 Prime both offer outstanding performance at this price
- No fast charging
- However, if you want a bit more power in your phone and a higher resolution display the Redmi 9 Prime is a good alternative at this price, though it's not for stock Android lovers
|
- It packs in plenty pre-installed bloatware, the ads are still here, it isn't the perfect user experience
- The Redmi 9 really struggles in low light - details are generally weak when shooting at night
- Video quality is strictly average
- The phone doesn't support fast charging and an hour of charge could only fill the battery to 40-percent charge
- Thought if you can spend little more, there are better options available from Xiaomi and Realme
