Motorola Moto G (2024)
- Potentially better software support from Motorola
- More efficient chipset for longer battery life during basic tasks
- Likely more affordable price point
- Significantly weaker performance compared to the Poco X6 Pro
- Slower charging speeds (18W)
- Likely a less impressive display
Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro
- Exceptional performance with the Dimensity 8300 Ultra
- Ultra-fast 67W charging
- Brighter and potentially higher-quality display
- Xiaomi’s MIUI software can be polarizing
- Potentially less consistent software updates compared to Motorola
- May run warmer under heavy load
Display Comparison
The Poco X6 Pro boasts a significantly brighter display, reaching a measured 1148 nits, making it far more usable outdoors than the Moto G (2024), for which display brightness data is unavailable. While the Moto G (2024) likely utilizes an IPS LCD panel to keep costs down, the X6 Pro’s panel technology is unconfirmed but likely AMOLED, offering superior contrast. The X6 Pro’s higher peak brightness translates to a more vibrant and readable experience in direct sunlight, a crucial advantage for outdoor users.
Camera Comparison
The context data for both devices is limited regarding camera specifics. However, given the Poco X6 Pro’s positioning, it’s likely to feature a more sophisticated camera system with a larger sensor and potentially optical image stabilization (OIS). The Moto G (2024) will likely focus on providing adequate image quality for social media sharing, but will likely lack the advanced features and low-light performance of the X6 Pro. The absence of details on the Moto G’s camera suggests a more basic implementation.
Performance
The performance gap between these devices is substantial. The Poco X6 Pro’s Mediatek Dimensity 8300 Ultra, built on a 4nm process, is in a different league than the Motorola’s Qualcomm SM4375 Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 (6nm). The Dimensity 8300 Ultra’s octa-core configuration – 1x3.35 GHz Cortex-A715, 3x3.20 GHz Cortex-A715, and 4x2.20 GHz Cortex-A510 – provides a significant uplift in both single-core and multi-core performance compared to the Moto G’s 2x2.0 GHz Cortex-A78 & 6x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55. This translates to smoother multitasking, faster app loading times, and a much better gaming experience on the Poco X6 Pro.
Battery Life
The Poco X6 Pro’s 67W wired charging, supporting QC2.0 and PD3.0, and achieving a 100% charge in just 45 minutes, is a clear advantage over the Moto G (2024)’s slower 18W charging. While the Moto G (2024) may offer decent battery life due to the efficiency of the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, the X6 Pro’s faster charging mitigates any potential battery life concerns. The X6 Pro’s active use score of 11:46h demonstrates strong endurance, and the rapid charging ensures minimal downtime.
Buying Guide
Buy the Motorola Moto G (2024) if you prioritize long-term software support from a reputable brand and need a phone that excels at basic tasks with good battery efficiency. Buy the Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro if you're a gamer, content creator, or simply demand the fastest possible performance for your money, and value rapid charging speeds.
