| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Looks pretty slick - the glossy back with rounded edges gives the Moto G9 a premium look - the design is very similar to other Motorola phones like the Moto E7 Plus
- The front has pleasingly rounded edges and slimline bezels with a tear-drop notch that looks decent (though, phones have started to offer hole-punch displays 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
- 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 new Snapdragon 662 - 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 - you can also do some casual gaming
- Decent triple rear camera setup - a 48MP primary module, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor
- In daylight, photos carry a decent amount of details with bright colors and high contrasts - colours are boosted slightly to enhance appeal but the camera never overdoes it
- Macro camera can take some fun photos for social media, if you can find the right focus
- Portrait mode is good - the depth detection is nice 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
- Very good battery life from the 5000 mAh battery - a full charge will easily last you for 2 days of regular use
- Decent fast charging from the 20W fast charger - takes about 2 hours to completely charge the phone
- The Motorola Moto G9 is a decent phone for the price - the software is the key winner here, it offers clean Android with decent performance and nice cameras
|
- The Nokia 5.3 is a looker, with its sleek and nearly premium design - the polycarbonate back has a matte finish, that gives it a good grip
- The fingerprint sensor at the back of the Nokia 5.3 is responsive and works fine
- The Nokia 5.3 also has a dedicated Google Assistant button
- Decent 6.55-in IPS LCD screen with HD+ resolution - colour reproduction is good and so are the viewing angles
- Being part of Android One series, you get clean, simple stock Android backed by at least 2 years of guaranteed updates
- Decent performer powered by the Snapdragon 665 SOC - it handles regular day-to-day usage with ease, calling, messaging, and social media apps are not an issue, and you can multitask between them quite easily - you can also run some heavy games like PUBG Mobile in its lower setting (though, this phone is not recommended for gamers)
- Portrait shots taken with the Nokia 5.3 have good edge detection, and the camera app does let you set the level of blur before taking a shot
- Selfies taken with the 8MP camera are decent in daylight and it does give you the option to take portraits - In low light, there is a slight dip in quality but it is still decent
- Good battery life from the 4000 mAh battery - you will get a full day of battery life out of it
- The competitions beats the Nokia 5.3 at every spec it has to offer, except the software experience and the guarantee to get updates for few years, but that can't be the only reason to buy this phone - If you are a heavy user or are looking to play a lot of games, you might want to consider more powerful and similarly priced alternatives such as the Realme 6i and the Redmi Note 9 Pro

| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- At 200g, the phone is reasonably hefty
- It also picks up greasy fingerprints a little too easily
- The resolution is low for the price, every reasonable competitor offers a full HD display at this price
- However, this is not the most powerful phone at this price and heavy 3D gaming takes a toll on the processor - the Redmi Note 9 offers a better performance at this price
- Average low-light performance - the lack of detail and sharpness make the photos look foggy
- However, if you want a bit more power in your phone and a higher resolution display the Redmi Note 9 and Realme 6i are good phones at a little more price, though it's not for stock Android lovers
|
- Most competing phones offer an FHD+ panel at the price, which the Nokia 5.3 is lacking
- Nokia 5.3 could use some more power, the competition offers better SOCs at this price
- Average quad-camera setup - a 13MP primary camera, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor
- In daylight, photos lacked dynamic range and fine grain was visible in the output on zooming in
- Shots taken with the wide-angle camera are of a lower resolution, and these too are grainy
- The macro camera is strictly average, and the subject needs to be well lit for shots to come out looking decent
- Low-light shots are below average and do not have good detail - switching on Night mode improved brightness and sharpness, but photos remain grainy
- The camera performance of the Nokia 5.3 isn't very good overall, and you can get better results from other phones at this price level
- No fast charging - charging the phone completely takes close to two hours
