Motorola is back with Moto Edge Series and Motorola Edge 20 Fusion is the latest offering under this new series. The device is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 800U and it has around 13 5G bands.
Also, this is the first smartphone to have a 10bit OLED display under Rs 25000. So if you’re that person, who wants the best display quality then this is it, you won’t get a better display than Moto Edge 20 Fusion (read review).
The processor is also, good, there won’t be any kind of problem but if you want better performance then you can take look at RealMe X7 Max.
By the way, Moto Edge 20 Fusion is running on pure stock UI which means, no bloatware, and no pre-installed apps. You will get the best software experience.
The camera is also good and considering the price tag, I think you will be more than happy with the camera’s performance.

Xiaomi 11i 5G

Yes, the Xiaomi 11i is a bit pricey but this happened because of the chip shortage still, I feel, Xiaomi could have launched this phone at around 22k.
Now, if you want to buy Xiaomi 11i 5G then I would recommend you to wait for the Flipkart sale because you will get this phone at around 20k to 21k which great deal but now at 25k, it seems a bit pricey.
Coming to the smartphone,
The Xiaomi 11i 5G comes with a 6.67-inches 120Hz AMOLED display with a pick brightness of 1200 nits while it has a 360Hz touch sampling rate.
