Moto G84 5G vs Realme 11 5G vs OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite: Design
Moto has kept a refreshing outlook for the design of its phones, and the Moto G84 shows those traits. The company has offered the device with a vegan leather finish and acrylic glass finish option, weighing 168 grams and 166 grams, respectively. The design language has been evident with other Moto phones with its small camera module at the back and a clean unibody design. It also comes with an IP54 rating which makes it water-resistant.
Realme 11 5G goes for a different approach, as the back panel is made of plastic that has a glitter-like finish. The back panel also houses the circular camera module that takes its place on the top-left. The company has also used an intriguing pattern that reflects in the light to show like letter S which makes it look stylish. The phone weighs 190 grams which makes it heavier than the Moto G84.
The Nord CE 3 Lite borrows its design elements from the vanilla Nord model but goes for a plastic finish because of the price. The phone has flat edges which makes it less comfortable but good to have a lightweight design, even though it weighs the heaviest of these three phones at 195 grams. The frame is also made of plastic but in its defence, the quality doesn’t look cheap.
Looks can be subjective, but the Moto G84 definitely has the edge with its classy vegan leather and ultra-light dimensions.
