The ZuPick verdict

2.1out of 5
SkipBest at battery, weakest at performance.

This phone covers the basics, but it misses too many essentials for the ₹20,000–₹30,000 range. The 4G-only network support, low-resolution display, modest performance and weak value make it hard to recommend when stronger alternatives are widely available.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance1.8
With 4 GB RAM and 5G missing, this is a basic performer for everyday apps rather than a strong multitasker. It is fine for calls, browsing and light social media use, but demanding games and heavier app switching will feel limited.
Camera1.9
The 50 MP main camera and f/1.8 lens are acceptable for daylight photos, but 1080p at 30 fps, an 8 MP selfie camera and the lack of zoom flexibility keep it well behind stronger camera phones in this range. It is built for casual use, not serious photography.
Display1.8
The 6.67-inch screen reaches 1000 nits and 90 Hz keeps navigation reasonably smooth, but the LCD panel and 720x1612 resolution are well behind what buyers should expect at this price. This is one of the phone’s clearest weak spots.
Battery2.8
The 5200 mAh battery should comfortably last a full day for typical use, but 18W charging is slow in a category where faster top-ups are common. Good enough for light users, less convenient for heavy ones.
Value1.9
At ₹25,515, the combination of 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, 4G-only connectivity and a basic display is poor value against what else this budget can buy. You are paying mid-range money for hardware that feels much closer to the entry level.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Clean Android experience

Android 15 and Motorola’s typically light software make day-to-day use simple and easy to learn. It suits buyers who want a straightforward phone without extra clutter.

Decent daylight camera

The 50 MP main camera with an f/1.8 lens can capture pleasing photos in good light. Autofocus helps it lock on quickly for casual shots of people, food and documents.

Stereo speakers included

Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos are a nice practical extra for videos, calls and casual gaming. They give a fuller sound than the single-speaker setups still seen on budget-focused phones.

What’s not
4G only connectivity

At ₹25,515, a phone without 5G is a poor fit for this market. Most alternatives in this range support 5G, so this hurts long-term usability and resale value.

Weak display for price

The 720x1612 LCD panel is noticeably less sharp than the Full HD AMOLED screens many rivals offer. 90 Hz helps scrolling feel smoother, but the panel quality is still a major compromise here.

Slow charging speeds

The 5200 mAh battery is a reasonable size, but 18W charging is slow for this budget. Many competing phones refill much faster, which matters if you top up often.

Entry-level memory setup

4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage are hard to justify at this price. Multitasking headroom is limited, and storage can fill up quickly with games, videos and app updates.
