Redmi 13 5G vs Moto G64 5G? Let’s Choose The Perfect Budget 5G Phone 

On the other hand, if you’re willing to spend more for extra RAM and storage, the Moto G64 5G gives you 12GB RAM and 256GB storage for Rs 17,999, making it a compelling choice.

Redmi 13 5G vs Moto G64 5G: Design

The Redmi 13 5G has a stylish, glass-like back and a boxy design. It comes in Orchid Pink, a cool Hawaiian Blue with a unique pattern, and Black Diamond shades. While the phone’s size might be overwhelming for someone with smaller hands, its modern aesthetics surely turn heads.

On the other hand, Motorola uses 3D PMMA, a type of plastic commonly used in 3D printing, giving the device a slightly more premium touch. The back has excellent tactile feedback, and its faux matte aesthetic looks stunning. At the same time, the back attracts lots of fingerprints. The colour shading ensures it’s not explicitly visible, but yes, that is there.

We know that design is very subjective. But if you prefer bigger phones with boxy looks, the Redmi 13 5G is a good choice. If you prefer a phone with slightly rounded edges and a more premium feel, the Moto G64 5G is a better choice.

Redmi 13 5G vs Moto G64 5G: Display

The Redmi 13 5G boasts a large 6.79-inch display with accurate colours and sharpness. It also supports Widevine L1 on Netflix, which is impressive for a budget phone. We also watched Mirzapur S3 on the Redmi 13 5G, and the viewing experience was excellent.

On the other hand, Motorola has opted for a slightly smaller display with a 6.5-inch FHD+ panel. It is good enough for consuming content indoors, and the 120Hz refresh rate keeps things snappy. The colours are accurate, too, and the sharpness is good enough even when the brightness is maxed out.

While these devices have good displays, it’s worth noting that they are LCD panels and not AMOLED. This means blacks won’t appear as deep, and outdoor visibility might be limited. However, the display quality will be perfectly satisfactory for most users, especially considering the price point.

Redmi 13 5G vs Moto G64 5G: Performance and UI

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 AE (Accelerated Edition) is at the heart of Redmi 13 5G. It’s the same processor used in its predecessor. But with some optimisation for enhanced performance and battery life. Everyday tasks like scrolling through social media, sending emails, and making calls are easy on the device.

However, it’s important to note that we have witnessed a fair number of lags and stutters with the Redmi 13 5G, even when setting up the device. Now, that might be the case with one particular device of ours. But that is something that has happened.

We also tried playing BGMI on the Redmi 13 5G, and the experience was quite nice. We were able to play on low graphics settings. The game reached HD and High graphics, up to 40.2 fps, and a minimum of Smooth and Ultra, dropping to 29.4 fps.

The Moto G64 5G is powered by the Dimensity 7025 processor, making it the only phone in India with this chipset. It performs well for everyday tasks like social media, watching content, and taking photos.

The phone can also effortlessly handle simple games like Alto’s Adventure. However, the performance isn’t as fast and smooth for more intensive games like Badland or Asphalt 9. But considering its affordability, we don’t have any complaints.

We also ran popular benchmarking tests like AnTuTu and Geekbench on both of these devices. Here’s how they performed:

Regarding software, the Redmi 13 5G is the company’s first budget device to run on the HyperOS based on Android 14. If you love customisation, then the Redmi 13 5G is the device for you. It comes with Xiaomi’s library, where you can change your lock screen, fonts, icons, wallpapers, themes, and more.

On the other hand, the Moto G64 5G comes with the My UX on top of Android 14. And there’s no need to say that if you prefer a clearer, more stock Android-like experience, the Moto G64 5G is your pick. When going to the app drawer, there are some pre-loaded folders for categories like Shopping, Entertainment, and Gaming. It’s important to note that they are not bloatware but ads.

Regarding updates, Xiaomi offers two years of Android updates and four years of security patches, whereas Motorola promises only one year of Android updates and three years of security updates.

Redmi 13 5G vs Moto G64 5G: Camera

The 108MP primary sensor on the Redmi 13 5G is one of the key highlights of this device. It captures amazing photos when the sun is up. The photos have a balanced dynamic range, accurate colours, and good detail. The saturation level is also under check and doesn’t go overboard with the colours, which can be the case with some budget phones.

Surprisingly, the portrait mode on the Redmi 13 5G is amazing during the day. The edge detection is good, and the skin tones are maintained accurately. The selfie game of the Redmi 13 5G is nice, too. The phone retains skin tones with enough details.

The Portrait mode works well, too, capturing edges accurately as long as the subject stays still. The selfie camera performs well, even in poor lighting, and photos with the flash are quite nice too.

Moreover, both phones have 8MP ultrawide sensors that capture social media-postable photos. However, both these devices suffer from low-light photography.

Redmi 13 5G vs Moto G64 5G: Battery Life and Charging

The Redmi 13 5G packs a 5,030mAh battery, which offers decent optimisation for everyday use. With typical tasks like browsing, texting, calling, and social media scrolling, you can expect to comfortably reach the end of the day on a single charge.

However, the Moto G64 5G comes with a massive 6000mAh battery, which is more than enough for most users. If you need a phone which will last a day or more, this one has you covered.

Furthermore, both the phones support 33W fast charging. During our tests, the Redmi 13 5G took around 1 hour and 13 minutes to go from 0 to 100%. Wherares the Moto G64 5G took about 1 hour and 32 minutes. We also ran PCMark battery tests on both of these devices. Here’s how they performed:
