Moto G84 vs Xiaomi 15 Pro
The Verdict
Moto G84 delivers solid mid-range performance with a bright 6.55-inch 120Hz P-OLED display and capable 50MP main camera with OIS for $279, making it excellent value for everyday users. Xiaomi 15 Pro operates in an entirely different league: its Snapdragon 8 Elite crushes the 695, the 6.73-inch display reaches 3200 nits brightness with QHD resolution versus the Moto's 1080p, and the triple camera system (1-inch 50MP main plus 50MP telephoto with 3x zoom plus 50MP ultrawide) vastly outpaces the Moto's dual setup. The 15 Pro's 90W charging and 50W wireless charging demolish the Moto's 33W wired-only approach. Build quality differs significantly: aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 versus plastic, IP68 versus IP52 rating. At $699, the 15 Pro costs 2.5 times more but justifies it through flagship components, superior camera versatility (8K video recording), 16GB RAM versus 6GB, and genuinely flagship performance. Budget-conscious buyers get real value from the G84's excellent display and dependable processor. Serious photography enthusiasts and power users should choose the 15 Pro without hesitation.
