Hey, people! Struggling to choose between Moto G100 and Samsung S20FE. Both are basically the same price around here, and offer similar performance for the things I need. But I found out today, yeah, today, that Motorola has a desktop feature, which I intend to use, and that was the reason I was looking for Samsung' s model. I understand the processor is different, but not by far, so what makes me divide is:
1. Camera quality, for I'm coming from a S10+ and it has good rear cameras but terrible front cameras... I heard the G100 has also bad quality pictures?
2. Processing for emulators, for yeah, sometimes I intend to play, is there a huge difference between SD865 and SD870?
3. Battery endurance, for Moto has a bigger one, but which is better in real life, considering similar usage for both phones?
4. Dex Mode x Ready For mode, I know Samsung has spent the last years evolving the system, but in some videos I saw the Motorola's also good. So, which is better? I intend to use it constantly.
Thanks for your help in this!

If you look for a good camera, this is not your phone.
Beside it, it's a powerhouse. Amazing phone.
I just can't understand why the version with 12gb Ram and 256gb ROM isn't sold worldwide, i bought this one for less money than in UK.

Works great but it's huge and can be a bit too big to handle with one hand.
Figured out how that you can force full screen by turning the "Full screen" feature on in the settings AND pinch outwards on the screen in an app when you want to fill the entire screen and the app doesn't automatically goes 100% full screen .

My update is: this phone camera is garbage. The front and back cameras are both worse than those of my Pocophone F1's. Only good thing about it is the 4k 60FPS videos I take are smooth and not shaky. But the picture quality is terrible.

I just bought this phone and have been using it all day, coming from a Pocophone F1 from 2018. Will update with my thoughts.

Used it for one week now; got it for 390 euros(100 euros discount); fast software, fast mobile internet and Wifi, solid cameras(but I am not an expert in that area), excellent battery, useful Moto gestures, no nonsense phone. Wished that it would be little bit smaller and lighter, but because of smaller width is easier to operate. I am not a power user, have choosen this phone to have something reliable for at last 3 years. Hoping that is not much vulnerable to falls. We shall se.

Phone Reviewer, 04 Sep 2021Why would anyone pick this phone over the OnePlus 8T, Mi 10... moreIn US website they are selling this phone without Ready For dock at $600. It also supports fewer 5G bands and carrier compatibility is less compared to phones like Motorola One 5G Ace. I would really like to buy this as my second phone but it is too expensive. So I will just wait for the release of Samsung S21 FE maybe around October or November. By that time I will just check the prices again and hopefully either Moto G100 and the older Samsung S20 FE has already a sale or has reduced its price.

Phone Reviewer, 04 Sep 2021Why would anyone pick this phone over the OnePlus 8T, Mi 10... moreI pick this over those mentioned smartphones because it has a front ultrawide camera, a headphone jack, and Ready For capability. Sure that the rest has a much higher screen refresh rate than this phone, but I never pay much attention to it since I deeply value battery life. I do care a lot about having a pocket PC capability and this phone has it. After all, Motorola's Ready For can rival Samsung's DeX as found in the S20 FE.

Why would anyone pick this phone over the OnePlus 8T, Mi 10T Pro or Samsung S20 FE? No, seriously. A very bizzare choice for best premium smartphone from gsmarena when clearly there is much better value for its current price of $500.

The phone has silicon case included - very good.
The phone glass is very smooth and seems the fat from fingers doesn't stick that much - perfect.
The phone is a bit clumsy - fat and heavy. No surprise as battery life is excellent. I compare with my Samsung S9+ which started draining battery for less than days.
In general I recommend it!
Software has some lags, but seems after updates they're gone.

I have been using this phone for about two weeks now. It's a good phone overall but I'm having an issue with face unlock feature. It is worthless. I deleted and re-install it a few times but it still doesn't work.
Does anyone else have the same issue?
