Moto G32 Vs Redmi Note 11: Which Smartphone Is Better?

Motorola India just launched a new affordable smartphone in the G series. This smartphone comes with a slew of highlights, including a Snapdragon 680 processor, a 90Hz refresh rate display, a punch-hole cutout housing a 16MP selfie camera sensor, and more. Despite these features, the smartphone is priced at Rs. 12,999 in the country.

Given these specs, the Motorola smartphone comes as a rival to many similar offerings in the country's budget market segment. One such offering is the Redmi Note 11, which is among the bestselling smartphones right now. It was launched earlier this year starting from Rs. 13,499 and shares some similarities with the Moto G32.

Redmi Uses AMOLED Panel

On the other hand, the Redmi Note 11 uses a relatively superior 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a similar resolution, aspect ratio and refresh rate. There is a punch-hole cutout on both the panels to house the selfie camera sensor. The Redmi offering has an upper hand with a Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

Performance Seems Identical On Paper

While the Motorola smartphone comes in a sole variant with 4GB RAM + 128GB ROM, the Redmi smartphone in multiple configurations with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM.

Moto G32 Lacks Dedicated Depth Sensor
