Motorola Moto G82
- Brighter and more vibrant display
- More efficient Snapdragon 695 5G chipset
- 5G Connectivity
- Exceptional battery life
- Slower 30W Charging
- Slightly less powerful for demanding games
Display Comparison
The Moto G82 takes a clear lead in the display department. Its measured 690 nits peak brightness is significantly higher than the G60S, offering better visibility in sunlight. The 'infinite' contrast ratio (though nominal) suggests excellent blacks and vibrant colors on the G82. The G60S has a decent display, but it lacks the brightness and contrast of its competitor.
Camera Comparison
Both phones offer capable cameras, but the G82 likely has a slight edge in image quality due to the Snapdragon's image signal processor (ISP). The G60S's camera is generally good, but the G82's ISP should provide better dynamic range and low-light performance. Video recording capabilities are comparable.
Performance
The Snapdragon 695 5G in the Moto G82 offers a more efficient and generally smoother experience than the Helio G95 in the G60S. The 6nm process of the Snapdragon chip contributes to better power efficiency. While the G60S has a slightly higher clocked CPU core, the Snapdragon's architecture and optimizations provide a more consistent performance in everyday tasks and light gaming. 5G connectivity is also a significant advantage for the G82.
Battery Life
The Moto G82 boasts an impressive endurance rating of 130 hours, indicating exceptional battery life. While the G60S has a 50W charger for faster top-ups, the G82's superior power efficiency means it will likely last longer on a single charge.
Buying Guide
The Motorola Moto G60S is ideal for users prioritizing fast charging and a slightly more powerful gaming experience on a tighter budget. The Motorola Moto G82 is a better fit for those who value a vibrant display, smoother performance, 5G connectivity, and longer battery life, even if it means sacrificing some charging speed.
