2-minute Review [Positives]	Looks snazzy - the plastic chassis is finished in 2 colour gradient, which fades from a darker to a lighter shade as you cast your eyes downward The front has pleasingly rounded edges and slimline bezels with a tear-drop notch that look 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 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 dated MediaTek Helio P35 - the phone feels fast when jumping from app to app and there's no issue in regular use, thanks to the clean and light software Motorola uses Good triple rear camera setup - a 16MP primary module, a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor The primary camera takes decent photos in daylight conditions and the HDR image processing also does a good job at boosting the saturation of the scene and images have a pop in them 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 The macro camera is a lot of fun to play around with - it’s capable of capturing intricate details on the smallest objects, from a macro distance of 2 cm 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 Power Lite offers clear software, excellent battery and a good set of cameras for the price, if that's all you're looking for, it does the job well	Nice design, with a modern front panel - a 6.4-inch display, superslim bezels and a top U-shaped notch Decent 6.4-inch AMOLED display - it has good color reproduction, and good sunlight legibility Samsung has gotten the software part on point with it's recent launches, with it's new One UI, that's now one of the better, more streamlined Android skins around - it's especially well suited for big displays like this, packs an intuitive gesture navigation system, and other useful things like a convenient 'dark mode' Good set of cameras for the price bracket The rear setup includes a 13-megapixel primary lens and a 5-megapixel wide-angle lens - the pictures come out especially good outdoors Portrait mode works well too, and there is Samsung's Live Focus option, which gives you control over how blurry the background appears The 8-MP selfie cam is good too - the color output is bold and realistic, and there's a good portrait mode here as well Very good battery life with a large 4000-mAh battery, combined with the low power display - you will easily get 1.5 days of use Decent fast charging speed - you will get 30% charge in 30 minutes, and 100% in less than 2 hours
2-minute Review [Negatives]	At 200g, the phone is reasonably hefty It also picks up greasy fingerprints a little too easily Sunlight legibility isn't great 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 C3 both offer outstanding performance at this price No fast charging However, if you want a bit more power in your phone the Narzo 10A is an excellent phone at this price, though it's not for stock Android lovers	The glossy plastic body is easily scratched, and also tends to gather fingerprints (you will want to use a case) The phone's rear fingerprint sensor is slow (you will mostly prefer using face unlock) Screen resolution is on the low side though - text, and app icons can often look slightly jagged on the A20's display The performance powered by the Exynos 7904 chipset (similar to Snapdragon 632) and 3GB of RAM is fine in day-to-day use, but not quite up to the level of the best performers in this price bracket On the whole, while the A20 is a decent option for the price bracket, and does especially well with battery life and a decent set of cameras - however, it falls a bit behind in terms of performance, and is a mixed bag in terms of the display - AMOLED, but low resolution - you will find better all-round options from the likes of Xiaomi, Realme and Asus
