Display Comparison
The Motorola Moto G84 boasts a significantly brighter display, reaching a measured 996 nits, compared to an unspecified brightness for the nova 10 Youth. This higher peak brightness translates to better visibility outdoors under direct sunlight. While both likely utilize LCD panels given their price points, the G84’s brightness advantage is a clear win. Details regarding color accuracy and refresh rate are missing for both, but the G84’s brightness is a tangible benefit.
Camera Comparison
Detailed camera specifications beyond 'Photo / Video' are lacking for both devices. However, given the market positioning, it’s reasonable to assume both feature primary sensors around the 50MP mark. The absence of information regarding Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) or lens apertures makes a direct comparison difficult. Without further data, it’s impossible to definitively declare a camera winner, but the Moto G84’s image processing algorithms, typically tuned for natural-looking photos, may offer a slight advantage.
Performance
The Motorola Moto G84’s Qualcomm SM6375 Snapdragon 695 5G represents a step up in processing power compared to the Huawei nova 10 Youth’s Snapdragon 680G. The 695 features a more modern CPU architecture with 2x2.2 GHz Kryo 660 Gold cores and 6x1.7 GHz Kryo 660 Silver cores, versus the nova 10 Youth’s 4x2.4 GHz Cortex-A73 and 4x1.9 GHz Cortex-A53 configuration. This translates to snappier app launches and smoother multitasking on the Moto G84. Crucially, the 695 also enables 5G connectivity, a feature absent in the 4G-only nova 10 Youth. Both chipsets are built on a 6nm process, suggesting similar efficiency, but the architectural improvements favor the Motorola.
Battery Life
The Motorola Moto G84 shines in battery performance, achieving an impressive 12:31h of active use and an endurance rating of 117 hours. While the Huawei nova 10 Youth’s battery capacity is unknown, its 66W wired charging is significantly faster than the Moto G84’s 30W charging. The nova 10 Youth can reach 60% charge in just 15 minutes and 100% in 35 minutes. However, the G84’s superior battery life means you’ll likely need to charge it less frequently, mitigating the slower charging speed. The G84 also offers 5W reverse wired charging, a feature absent on the nova 10 Youth.
Buying Guide
Buy the Huawei nova 10 Youth if you absolutely need the fastest possible charging speeds and primarily use your phone for basic tasks like calling, texting, and social media. Its 66W charging will minimize downtime. Buy the Motorola Moto G84 if you value 5G connectivity, longer battery life during active use, and a more versatile chipset capable of handling more demanding applications and occasional gaming.
