| 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
|
- Pleasant, refreshing design - back is textured and the Narzo 20 looks and feels almost exactly the same as its C-series cousins
- Front has a similar affair with a dew-drop notch and thin bezels
- The patterned back almost completely eliminates the chances of getting fingerprints or smudges - it also adds a lot of grip and gives the phone a very solid, sturdy feel
- Face recognition and fingerprint sensor are quick to unlock the smartphone
- Large, 6.5 inch IPS display with HD+ resolution - the colors are vibrant with a decent amount of sharpness
- The Narzo 20 comes with Realme UI based on Android 10 which is much more streamlined and clean compared to previous realme phones - it still packs a lot of useful features like Dark mode, Focus mode, Game Space and Personal Information Protection
- Performance is good for the price - the Realme Narzo 20 runs smooth in day-to-day situations, UI is pleasantly fluid and flipping between apps is quite easy - heavy gaming is possible, but don't expect too much
- Good triple camera setup for the price - a 48MP primary shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP depth sensor
- The main camera can click photos with decent details in bright light - colours have a punch, they come out well even when shot against a direct light source, thanks to the HDR and chroma boost
- The ultra-wide camera captures a wider perspective (though the details are on the weaker side)
- The macro camera produces fun, usable photos as long as you give it a lot of light and the correct focal distance
- The portrait shots look good, and the edge detection is decent as well
- The 8MP front camera can shoot decent selfies - the portrait mode works for the front camera as well
- Decent video recording quality, with a option to shoot slow motion videos
- Monster 6000mAh battery delivers an incredible 2-3 days of usage easily, making for one of the largest battery life smartphones currently available
- Supports 18W Fast charging with an included fast charger
- The Narzo 20 is a decent phone with great battery life and good enough performance for occasional gaming, therefore much easier to recommend than its C series cousins, and a much stronger offering in its segment

| 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
|
- Quite hefty, at 208g weight and 9.8 thickness
- The Narzo 20 misses out on a full HD panel that some of Realme’s competitors have already started offering at this price
- There is no Widevine L1 certification which means that you cannot enjoy HD content on Netflix and Amazon Prime
- There's still some bloatware that comes pre-installed
- Low light photos are average, as expected, they lack detail and aren't very sharp
