Realme P1 or Moto G64: Display, Design

The Realme P1 boasts a noticeably larger screen than the Moto G64, as shown in the table above. The colours on the Realme P1 appear vivid, particularly when consuming video content across various applications. Additionally, the screen is exceptionally bright, ensuring visibility even under glaring sunlight.

The Moto G64 features a smaller screen and lacks uniform bezels. Its thick chin seems rather peculiar while browsing through social media apps in light mode. Viewing content becomes challenging under direct sunlight. However, the colours appear appropriately saturated when indoors.

As for the design, the Realme P1 sports a brushed finish that enhances its aesthetic appeal. Because of the flat design and larger screen estate, it becomes uncomfortable to hold after a while. In this case, slapping a case helped for comfortable usage. The circular camera module at the back is quite large, which attracts a lot of attention when in a crowd.

In contrast, the Moto G64 initially closely resembles its predecessor, the G54. If you perceive no discernible changes, unfortunately, that’s the reality. Nevertheless, its comfortable in-hand feel will resonate with those who prefer smaller and compact phones.

Realme P1 or Moto G64: Performance

The Realme P1 outshines the Moto G64 in the Antutu benchmark score, but when it comes to Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core tests, the Moto G64 steals the spotlight.

Performance-wise, the Realme P1 excels in day-to-day tasks. Scrolling through social media apps, multitasking with multiple apps, streaming YouTube videos, and jamming to my favourite tunes felt like a breeze. Unfortunately, the app animation is missing on this device.

For gaming, we test the P1 with three heavy hitters: Call of Duty: Mobile, BGMI, and CarX Street. In smooth plus extreme settings, this phone worked like a charm. Sure, the phone started warming up after an hour, but that did not slow down the gaming experience.

The Moto G64 handles everyday tasks like a champ—browsing, calls, texts, and social media scrolling are smooth sailing. Light games such as 2048 and Candy Crush run quite well, and the phone stays cool. When it came to games like BGMI and Call of Duty: Mobile, the G54 worked quite well in HD settings initially, but we started experiencing lags and stutters after about 20 to 25 minutes of use. It does tend to heat up near the camera module.

So, if gaming’s your main priority, the Realme P1 is your go-to. But for everyday use, both phones will serve you well.

Realme P1 or Moto G64: Cameras

The Realme P1 snaps decent pictures with its 50MP primary camera in daylight conditions, albeit requiring a touch of editing before sharing on social platforms. Portrait shots also turn out well, effectively blurring the background. However, when it comes to low-light photography, it tends to lose out on accurate details. There’s noticeable noise in dim lighting, and the colour reproduction could do with some improvement.

The Realme P1 delivers social media-ready pictures, smoothing your face like the actors in K-drama if that is something you prefer. There’s no need to spend time editing; just snap and post.

In contrast, the Moto G64 ships with a 50MP main camera featuring OIS, alongside an 8MP ultrawide camera. Both cameras perform admirably in daylight conditions. Regarding low-light photography, the Moto G64 impresses with its ability to capture nice shots considering its price, surpassing the Realme P1. While some noise persists in the pictures, the clarity is notably superior.

Additionally, the 16MP selfie camera on the front produces satisfactory results, though a slight red tint may create the impression of blushing.

Realme P1 or Moto G64: Software

The Realme P1 offers a range of customisation options, allowing you to tailor your phone to your preferences. It boasts numerous themes for lock screen customisation. However, it comes with abundant bloatware that can be deleted.

On the other hand, the Moto G64 delivers the simplicity of stock Android, offering a clean user experience. It is an excellent choice if you prioritise a clutter-free interface. It also features convenient gestures for the flashlight, camera, and security functions. The phone has app suggestions, but they can be easily uninstalled.

Realme P1 or Moto G64: Battery and Charging

The Realme P1 took 30 minutes to charge from 0 to 52% and took 1 hour and 12 minutes to reach a full charge with a 45W fast charger. During the PC Mark battery test, the smartphone lasted for 13 hours and 29 minutes. So, if you’re a heavy user, this phone can last 7-8 hours.

Conversely, the Moto G64 reached 35% in 30 minutes, but it took 1 hour and 35 minutes to charge fully, given the bigger battery. Despite its slower charging support, the Moto G64 is the clear winner in terms of battery capacity. During the PC Mark battery test, the smartphone lasted (will add once done). It can easily last you an entire day with light to moderate usage.

Verdict

There’s fierce competition in the under Rs. 20,000 price segment, with contenders like the iQOO Z9, Tecno Pova 6 Pro, and Vivo T3, among others. So, if you’re in the market for a smartphone under 20K, you’ve got plenty of options to sift through.

However, when it comes down to choosing between the Realme P1 and the Motorola G64, if you need a smartphone that excels in everyday tasks and heavy gaming, then the Realme P1 is the way to go. Conversely, if you prioritise camera quality and a clean user experience, the Moto G64, along with seamless day-to-day performance, is your go-to choice.
