iQOO Z9 5G vs Moto G64 5G : The budget smartphone sector has really heated up, having just recently been put below ₹15,000, with the iQOO Z9 5G and Moto G64 5G being among the best candidates. Both of these devices tend to promise a great bang for the buck, being 5G-ready, fast enough, providing good battery backup, and decent displays. But which would be more suitable for the user in search of a good smartphone below ₹15,000-the iQOO Z9 5G or the Moto G64 5G? The two shall be weighed against the most significant parameters.
Design and Display
The rear of the iQOO Z9 5G could almost be said to be stylishly plastic-its 6.67 AMOLED display operating instance at FHD+ resolution with 120Hz refresh rate shall scroll sights of bright graphics in color and smooth glory. The Moto G64 has about 6.5-ish inches of CMYK LCD screen-with extended resolution of FHD+. 120Hz refresh rate for both. An AMOLED panel wins fair and square with deeper blacks and better contrast to lay claim to having the best display.
Performance and Processor
The MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chips fuel the iQOO Z9 5G-powered graphics. It really is the best one available to be offered in the sub-15k range, giving a user an excellent gaming and multitasking experience. Elsewhere, with Dimensity 7025 being the chip powering game graphics for the G64, the chips offer performance that is just enough to get through daily chores. For gaming, the iQOO Z9 5G has performance in spades.
Camera Comparison
With Electronic Image Stabilisation for optimal clarity and low-light performance, the main camera on the iQOO Z9 5G is a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor. These two cameras, while advertising themselves as 50MP main cameras, have a lack of Optical Image stabilisation and are therefore of different sensors and result in below-par pictures under really poor lighting conditions. The picture is taken for selfies on both phones with their front 16-megapixel cameras, which, owing to iQOO’s image processing, give it a slight edge in overall picture quality.
Battery and Charge
These two share somewhat similar 5,000mAh which can last a full day on a single charge. The iQOO Z9 5G has fast charging support up to 44W and the Moto G64 5G up to 33W. Both charge pretty quickly, though, with the Z9 5G, you might probably get back to full charge a little faster.
Software Experience
In simple words, near stock Android 14 makes the Moto G64 5G pretty clean with no bloatware to speak of. This can easily weigh down as a huge plus for users who like a minimalistic UI. On the contrary, Funtouch OS 14 runs on the iQOO Z9, richly featured but with a couple of unwanted applications. If clean software is your priority, round three goes to Moto G64.
Both iQOO Z9 5G and Moto G64 5G are good buys in their bracket, though it caters to slightly different users. Strong performance, AMOLED display, and some camera prowess-iQOO Z9 5G should be the choice. But if the user prefers a more overtly clean Android experience with a slightly larger display, it is probably fair to say that Moto G64 5G won’t let him down. On the whole, iQOO Z9 is dependent on the most widespread and powerful device for the average user looking for a gaming-and-content-consumption-ready device under ₹15K.
