If you’re based in India and you need a 5G all-rounder, you have an ocean of choices. One of the last is the amazing Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G, but there are also several important phones released last year with amazing specifications. Smartphone prices increased in 2021 and often you can find better phones if you look at the ones released a year ago. Among these, there are Motorola Moto G 5G and Realme X7 5G, still sold in the Indian market at great street prices. Here is a comparison between the specifications of Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G, Motorola Moto G 5G, and Realme X7 5G.
My favorite design and the most attractive one is the Realme X7. Despite it is not built with premium materials, it almost looks like so. It is way thinner than its two rivals with a thickness of just 8.1 mm and it is even lightweight as it weighs just 175 grams. The Motorola Moto G 5G is very thick and heavy compared to other phones, so it is a less comfortable option when it comes to one-handed use and so. Realme Narzo 30 Pro sits in the middle: it is still pretty thick and heavy since it houses a big battery, but not excessively.
Do you need a superior display? Choose the Realme X7 5G and you won’t regret it. The Realme X7 5G is the only one to come with an AMOLED display, so it is able to show brighter colors and deeper blacks. Further, it has an in-display fingerprint reader. The Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G has an IPS panel but it is still very interesting, especially for gamers, because it has a 120 Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, Motorola Moto G 5G lacks both a high refresh rate and an AMOLED panel, but it has HDR10 technology improving the image quality. However, it can not compete with the Realme X7 5G.
The best devices in terms of hardware are Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G and Realme X7 5G which pack a Dimensity 800U chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM, and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.1 native storage. The Snapdragon 750G found on the Motorola Moto G 5G is at the same level as the Dimensity 800U (even slightly better, in my opinion), but the phone offers up to 6 GB of RAM, and having 2 gigs more is definitely better. Unfortunately, all of these phones ship with Android 10 out of the box, but they will be updated to Android 11.
The most advanced cameras belong to the Realme X7 5G. It has a superior 64 MP main camera paired with an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, a 2 MP camera for macros, and a 2 MP dedicated depth sensor. Besides a better main camera, the Realme X7 5G also packs a better front camera with a 32 MP resolution.
Realme X7 5G wins everywhere except when it comes to the battery life: Motorola Moto G 5G and Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G have bigger 5000 mAh batteries and they beat their higher-end rival. On the other hand, Realme X7 5G supports faster charging with a power of 65W.
You can actually find Realme Narzo 30 Pro with an Rs. 15,999 / $215 starting price, Moto G 5G retails for Rs. 20,999 / $283, and Realme X7 5G costs Rs. 19,999 / $270. If we exclude the battery, Realme X7 5G is the best phone, while the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G has the highest value for money.
