    Motorola needs to work on their camera optimisation and design. I remember the past moto phones with circular camera module and premium feel; moto X4 for example. Nowadays they make cheap looking and hefty phones.

            Yes, Xiaomi o realme are cheaper than motorola, but I prefer the software of Motorola. 400 dollars for 6gm ram and 128gb rom is not a break deal, but it's a good price

                Brands like Realme and MI sell only for one reason, the budget price. People in my country just look at the specs and compare the price but they don't have a clue about what these companies do to make the price lesser than the competition. (Most of them don't even know what they are supposed to do with those specs.)The ad services in these phones are pretty irritating (which is bread and butter for MI and realme), which is why I stick to the stock android phones like Motorola.

                        I own this phone. It's a good phone with more pros and liveable cons. The ad free software experience and zero stutter in day to day usage are the best part. Have used Mi phones before for their low price and good value, but the hidden ads and stutters mar the experience.
                        I got the Moto G 5G 6Gb/128 Gb version at USD 250 in India, the similar specced Mi 10i retails at USD 300. The Moto has a good quality LCD and comes close to an amoled one, the performance and battery life in my opinion are among the best in this price range of 5g phones. Camera could have been better though.

                          Recently upgraded from Moto G3 which lasted me very well for 4 years and still going strong. Really pleased with the g5g but find it gets quite hot after being on it for only 20 minutes

                                Display is average, charging is very slow and price is high for what it offers so not recommended in my book...specially since you have good alternatives.
                                Mi 10T Lite 5G is much better for the price and also other phones are good alternatives in Realme, Samsung etc

                                  so many pros, the cons are not a huge deal, so why the low score gsmarena?

                                    The A42 has an HD+ Amoled panel. I think this is a fine choice on my country it has the 128GB version as it runs the UI very smooth.

                                    You won´t find a better deal if you´re looking for a stock android experience trust me it´s worth

                                      "And while the two offerings above seem like a good deal, you will probably be quite impressed with the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 5G. In some cases, the handset can be found for as low as €250, but the price varies up to €280. Either way, it's sensibly cheaper than the Moto, it has a brighter 120Hz IPS screen, better overall camera performance (especially at night), lower but still dependable battery life, better build with Gorilla Glass 5 and faster charging, while being powered by the same Snapdragon 750G chipset. It's tough to argue with those numbers."

                                      tl;dr: pointless phone, just buy Mi 10T/Poco X3
