Motorola’s Moto G lineup has a strong presence in the cheap smartphone segment in the US. It has been offering excellent value for the bucks, with the latest model, the Moto G Power 5G (2024), going a step further. It’s obviously better than last year’s model but more importantly adds several features that have been missing in the lineup, making it the best Moto G phone the company has ever made.

Samsung is not unknown in this territory, with plenty of options from the Galaxy A series. The Galaxy A15 5G is one of the best cheap phones from the brand, going neck-to-neck with the Moto G Power 5G (2024) in both pricing and hardware. It’s difficult to pick the right one that suits your needs. So, to make it simpler, here are four reasons to buy the Moto G Power 5G (2024) over the Galaxy A15 5G and two reasons to avoid it.

Four reasons to buy the Motorola Moto G Power 5G (2024)

1. A delight to hold

This year’s Moto G Power has a textured vegan leather back, not the shiny and slippery plastic back you see on most budget phones. It does a great job of resisting fingerprints and provides enough grip that you won’t feel like it’s getting off your hands. Also, the Moto G Power 5G (2024) boasts a water-repellant design but lacks an IP rating for water and dust protection.

The Galaxy A15 5G is all-plastic, from top to bottom. It isn’t made from premium materials, yet feels good in hand with a matte finish on the back. And it also doesn’t pick up fingerprints.

2. Larger, smoother display

Motorola’s Moto G Power 5G (2024) boasts a bright 6.7-inch screen that’s good for content consumption. The Galaxy A15 5G has a slightly smaller 6.5-inch screen, but it has an OLED panel instead of an LCD panel like the Motorola phone.

Both have 1080p resolutions, but the Moto G Power 5G feels a lot smoother, thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate (vs. 90Hz on the Galaxy A15 5G). I’d give this Motorola phone an extra point for the hole-punch selfie camera, which looks and feels more premium than a waterdrop-style cutout on the Galaxy A15 5G, which is mostly seen on cheaper phones.

Another difference between the two is the size of the bezels. They are a lot thicker at the bottom than at the top, but the side ones are significantly slimmer on the Motorola phone, thus making the screen more usable.

3. Speedy performance

At the heart of the Moto G Power 5G (2024) is the MediaTek’s Dimensity 7020 chipset, which isn’t a great chipset, to be honest. But for a $200 phone, it satisfies the purpose. You may notice occasional stutters, such as when switching between apps, but overall, it feels fairly snappy and smooth.

On the Galaxy A15 5G, you get the Dimensity 6100+ chipset. While it’s slightly less powerful than Dimensity 7020, the performance is good except for slowdowns when opening apps. The Samsung phone comes with 4GB RAM only, which feels less when there are plenty of options with 8GB RAM at a similar price point, including the Moto G Power 5G.

4. Quicker charging, less waiting

While they have the same 5,000mAh battery capacity, there’s a big gap in charging capabilities. The Moto G Power 5G (2024) supports 30W charging over a USB-C cable, which is capped at 25W on the Galaxy A15 5G.

The surprising addition to the Motorola phone is its wireless charging capability, which is rarely seen on cheaper phones. The maximum speed for the wireless charging is 15W. The Galaxy A15 5G only supports wired charging, though.

The Moto G Power 5G (2024) doesn’t tick all the right boxes, as the Galaxy A15 5G is stronger in some important areas, including camera performance and software support, as discussed below.

Two reasons to avoid the Motorola Moto G Power 5G (2024)

1. Mediocre camera output

Although the Moto G Power 5G (2024) camera has improved from last year, it isn’t as impressive as the Galaxy A15 5G. It has a 50-megapixel primary sensor, joined by an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor that doubles as a macro camera.

The Motorola phone captures decent details and colors in bright lighting scenarios, while zoom capability still remains a weak point. The output is fine at up to 2x, but beyond that shots are grainy with a lot of details missing. The ultrawide shots are fine, though.

The Galaxy A15 also has a 50-megapixel primary sensor, joined by a 5-megapixel ultrawide and a 2-megapixel macro camera. It takes nice, detailed shots using the primary camera with good color retention. The output is definitely better than the Moto G Power 5G in various lighting conditions.

Despite many upgrades, both phones do not support 4K video recording. The maximum they record is 1080p.

2. Limited software support

One of the biggest drawbacks of owning the Moto G Power 5G (2024) is limited software support. This phone will only get one Android upgrade. Since it was launched with Android 14, it’s eligible for Android 15, which will roll out sometime in 2025, and that’s all — no more major upgrades after that.

Samsung, on the other hand, is very generous with software support. The Galaxy A15 5G in question will get four major OS updates. That means the device will still be eligible for three more Android updates when the Moto G Power 5G becomes outdated.

Motorola, however, has learned from its mistakes and is now promising longer software support for newer models. The Edge 50 Neo, launched in August, was Motorola’s first phone to be eligible for five Android updates, and then the Moto G75 and ThinkPhone 25 joined the party. The upcoming Moto G Power models will also have better software promise, hopefully.

So, which one would you pick? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

The post 4 Reasons why Moto G Power 5G (2024) is better than Galaxy A15 5G and 2 reasons it isn’t appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is one of the best smartphone brands globally, with a strong lineup of smartphones across all price segments. Even with a $500 budget or lower than that, there are so many excellent options out there, including some high-end Galaxy S-series phones.

Short on time? Here are the products in this article:

1. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE 5G

The Galaxy S24 FE (or Fan Edition) is currently available for just $474. That’s a nice 27% discount from the original price of $650, making it the best Galaxy pick for anyone with a budget of around 500 dollars.

It delivers a near-flagship experience for a significantly cheaper price. From the outside, the S24 FE looks like the Galaxy S24 Plus, with some downgrades to reach a lower price point. Those include a weaker chipset, a less brighter display, and a few others, but it’s still a solid choice for $500. It has all the Galaxy AI features from the premium models. You’ll also enjoy seven years of Android updates, the best on any Android smartphone.

Unlike other Galaxy S24 models, the S24 FE ships with an Exynos chipset instead. While it does a good job handling everyday tasks, hardcore fans looking for flagship performance might find it a bit disappointing.

If you prefer the Snapdragon chip over Exynos, the Galaxy S23 might be a better option, as detailed below.

2. Samsung Galaxy S23 5G

As we get newer Galaxy phones, the previous-generation models suddenly become a great buy with a sweet price cut. The flagship Galaxy S23, launched at a base price of $799.99, is now down to $499, putting it in a great spot for $500 buyers.

It’s a compact 6.1-inch flagship phone rocking a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, ensuring smooth performance whether you’re endlessly scrolling social media or playing your favorite titles. However, the 3,900mAh battery might seem a downgrade, but it’s actually not. The battery performance is similar to the Galaxy S24 FE (4,700mAh capacity) because of an efficient chipset and a smaller display.

The Galaxy S23 has excellent cameras. In fact, the Galaxy S24 carries identical camera hardware, but the latest model promises better processing thanks to an improved chipset. The changes are rather subtle and go unnoticed most of the time.

For $500, the Galaxy S23 is a no-brainer deal. It has a solid display, performance, and camera setup. It’s better than the Galaxy S24 FE, with only one downside: a smaller form factor.

3. Samsung Galaxy A55 5G

The Galaxy A55 is a solid mid-range smartphone currently available for just under $300. It’s surprisingly good at photography at this price point, even competing with some premium Galaxy devices.

The device is ripped with an aluminum frame all around. And the IP67 rating and Gorilla Glass Victs+ protection make it a long-lasting deal. The performance is okay for everyday tasks and offers light gaming as well.

The Galaxy A55 features a 6.6-inch 1080p bright Super AMOLED panel that refreshes at 120Hz. It also has an excellent triple camera setup, which includes a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide lens with a 123-degree field of view, and a 5MP macro shooter. The 32MP shooter takes decent selfies.

Battery life is excellent, lasting more than a day. It’s 5,000mAh, by the way, which is one of the biggest on Galaxy phones. Unfortunately, you don’t get a charger inside the box, so you’ll have to use an existing type-C charger or spend some more bucks getting one.

4. Samsung Galaxy A35 5G

For $250 (at Amazon), you get a large 1080p Super AMOLED screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate support, along with Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus+ for reliable protection against occasional drops. The performance is decent with Exynos 1380. You can do light gaming as well. But for a decent gaming performance, you should spend extra money getting a more powerful chipset.

The Galaxy A35 5G boots Android 14 out of the box and offers four years of guaranteed Android upgrades, up to Android 18. The camera performance is decent, offering detailed shots in good lighting conditions, but the low-light photography could be improved.

It lets you do 4K recording with its selfie camera as well, which we don’t see this very often on cheap phones. The connectivity options are good. You easily get a full day of battery backup with a few hours to spare the next morning, and supports 25W fast charging for quick top-ups.

5. Samsung Galaxy A15 5G

Even though the Galaxy A15 5G is a plastic phone from top to bottom, it has got the aesthetics of the Galaxy S24 family, with a matte finish on the back. And it doesn’t pick up fingerprints, thanks to a non-glossy finish.

The center point of this phone is the AMOLED screen you’re getting for just $170. It’s vibrant and has deep blacks that easily outperform any LCD panel. It’s a 1080p screen with 800nits of peak brightness, which isn’t bad for a phone at this price. The 90Hz refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling and animations.

You wouldn’t expect amazing photography from a $170 phone. However, the Galaxy A15 5G does a better job than most budget phones at this price. The primary camera outputs slightly over-emphasized colors, but the detail is good for subjects. However, the ultrawide and macro cameras aren’t impressive but do the job.

The performance of the Galaxy A15 5G is as you would expect on a budget phone. It handles basic tasks like web browsing, messaging, and other everyday activities with ease. But as you push it with heavier games or intensive multitasking, some lags are easily noticeable.

Besides a great display, the Galaxy phone offers an excellent battery backup of more than a day. On light usage, you can easily make it to two days or possibly more on a single charge. That makes the Galaxy A15 5G a solid option for content consumption.
