Performance and Battery
The Moto G37 Power uses a Dimensity 6400 chipset in India, offering faster app loading and gaming.
UFS 2.2 storage boosts real-world speed, and the 120Hz display enhances responsiveness.
Samsung's Exynos 1330 handles daily tasks reliably but lags under heavier loads. However, Samsung promises six major Android upgrades, making the software more future-proof.
Motorola dominates battery life with a 7000mAh cell lasting up to two days. It supports 30W wired charging and 6W reverse charging.
Samsung's 5000mAh battery provides full-day use but cannot match Motorola's endurance.
Camera
The Galaxy M17 features a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro. OIS stabilizes low-light shots and video, offering more versatility.
Motorola has a single 50MP rear camera that captures detailed daylight shots and records 2K video. It lacks an ultrawide lens, limiting creativity.
Samsung's 13MP selfie camera produces sharper images with better skin tones. Motorola's 8MP selfie camera is acceptable but softer.
