2-minute Review [Positives]	The front has a notch-less display, that spans almost edge to edge, with a pop-up selfie camera mechanism (which is a rare sight in this price bracket) There's a handy button dedicated to the Google Assistant The rear-mounted fingerprint scanner is easy to reach and quick to unlock the smartphone Crisp, large 6.5-inch IPS LCD panel - it is HDR10 certified, and there are three colour modes to choose from - the display is set to the Saturated colour mode by default, but you can switch to the Natural or Boosted options if you prefer The lack of a notch helps make the screen appear immersive, and consuming content on the screen is a pleasure True to Motorola style, you get clean and simple stock Android - mind you, it's not an Android One series phone though despite the 'One' moniker The minor Motorola additions to stock Android are those that make the user experience even better - there are the Moto navigation gestures as well as the Moto Display, both of which make it easier to live with when compared to any other stock Android phone Excellent performance powered by one of the best chipsets at this price, the Snapdragon 730G - there's enough grunt to handle day-to-day duties as well as heavy gaming with ease, PUBG Mobile defaults to the High preset Very good quad-camera setup - there's the 64MP primary, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle, a 5MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor In daylight, it manages good shots with ample detail, objects at a distance have decent detail - the phone also enables HDR automatically in bright scenes The ultra-wide-angle camera offers a wider field-of-view at the cost of slightly lower details than the primary camera - it has a slightly different colour tone compared to the primary camera Close-ups turns out quite well - the macro camera lets you get a lot closer to an object Portrait mode lets you set the level of blur before you take a shot - edge detection is good, and the background is blurred properly Night mode works surprisingly well, you've to hold the phone steady for slightly longer - but the output with Night mode is a lot brighter and have improved details in the shadows as well Selfies taken with 16MP selfie shooter has good details - you can also enable portrait mode for selfies, and edge detection is decent - the selfie camera also supports Night mode This single speaker is loud enough to fill a small room and adds to the video watching experience Very good battery life with the 5000mAh battery - it will easily last you for 2 days on moderate use The One Fusion Plus comes with an 18W TurboCharger in the box to help with fast charging Motorola has got the specifications and the pricing right for the One Fusion Plus, making it very easy to recommend - the highlight is its clean, bloatware-free near-stock Android software which provides excellent user experience and the notch-less display is a cherry on top	Very good build quality and premium glass sandwich design, similar to its predecessor, the Redmi Note 7 Pro Uses Gorilla Glass 5, front and back Good quality, bright 6.53 inch IPS panel, with very good sunlight legibility Supports HDR - a rare find in this price range MIUI is one of the more refined and smooth Android skins around, and has a number of add-on features and a lot of customizability Excellent, best-in-class performance with the powerful Helio G90T on board - that performs around the same level as last year's flagship Snapdragon 845 - the Redmi Note 8 Pro sails through anything you throw at it - this is essentially a top-end gaming phone on the cheap - and it has a significant edge in benchmarks over it's main competitor, the Realme XT, that packs the Snapdragon 712 The Note 8 Pro once again delivers some superlative camera performance for the price bracket (as the Note Pro series has done for a few years now) - especially from the main 64MP camera The quad camera setup on the rear includes a 64MP primary camera + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP depth sensor + 2MP macro lens The main 64MP sensor is versatile and delivers excellent images at day and night It is also capable of some surprisingly good 2x (digital) zoom photos eliminating the need of a cheap telephoto lens The 20MP selfie camera is also pretty good Great video recording quality overall Overall, this is now the best camera phone under INR 20k, with a slight edge over the other great camera phone of this price bracket, the Realme XT, with clearer low-light photos, and slightly sharper images Excellent headphone audio Outstanding, class-leading battery life, with a 4500mAH cell and a super-efficient chipset - you will comfortably get 2 days of use and more Supports USB PD 18W fast charging, that can charge the phone from 0 to 40% in about 30 minutes - and for a change (for the Redmi Note Pro series), now also includes a compatible fast charger in box As usual, the new leader of Xiaomi's Redmi Note series is a fantastic bang-for-the-buck phone and will compete strongly with the Realme XT - choosing between the 2 will be down to your preference - the Note 8 Pro will deliver slightly faster performance, longer battery life, and slightly better camera - on the other hand, the Realme XT will deliver a better (OLED) display, under-display fingerprint reader, and faster 20W VOOC charging - you won't go wrong with either really
2-minute Review [Negatives]	Reaching the top while using the phone single-handed is somewhat difficult Motorola One Fusion Plus feels chunky and heavy, as it is 9.6mm thick and weighs 210g Motorola has positioned all the buttons on the right, which looks cluttered while the left side is bare	The camera bump on the rear is on the big side Hefty for the screen size, at 200g It's slippery like glass backs tend to be, so using a case is recommended It's not as clean and minimalistic as stock Android though - in the default setup you will get both plenty of bloatware, and ads in the UI The macro and ultra-wide cameras are uninspiring - for high quality photos you will want to stick to the main camera Video recording in 1080p could have been a bit better Weak-ish mono speaker - while okay, it isn’t very loud or crisp
