It is okay to purchase a 4G phone now? Actually my cousin (female) wants to purchase a new phone. But is confused between realme 9 4G and realme 9 Pro 5G. Her priority is mainly Camera, and she consumes a lot of content (YouTube, TV Shows, etc). realme 9 4G has an AMOLED Display and 108MP camera. While realme 9 5G has 5G but no AMOLED Display, also Camera is 64MP and that too a Samsung sensor, not Sony. I recommended her to get Moto G71 5G, but she said she didn't like the design of it and is skeptical of the brand in general. She will use the phone for atleast 3 to 4 years.
What should I do? Should I tell her to go with Moto G71?
@Prithi Deb bro, one must be really really skeptical of BBK Electronics (as well as xiaomi) brand(s) more than Motorola, imho. HW in a phone is a body, SW is Jeevan / life. BBK phones have Jeevan POLLUTED (reason in Point 5), which lots and lots of people never care about, sadly.
Ask her to go for Moto G71 5G, bro.
[1] Moto has clean software, like I explained above.
[2] Moto has long life span. I am talking from my experience, MI3 died in 14 months, Moto 1 Power is going strong till now for 5+ years. (But still ask her to use TG as well as a case, as this phone has plastic frame and not metal (Not sure, but even GSMArena didn't show this info).
[3] Moto has more 5G bands, which will help getting 5G not just near window or just in terrace or say only one room in whole house having 5G coverage., comparing single 5G band phones from even 1+. Since she wants to use it for long time, the regretting later will be much more painful, imho. Just imagine changing modes to 4G preferred when entering home and selecting "5G/4G Auto" when leaving home without forgetting DAILY for those 4 years.
[4] Moto SD phones generally allows GCam for taking better photos.
[5] I will NEVER EVER recommend any Chinese phones (except Moto) for Ladies in general, as most of their stock apps are suspicious, having permission to use all cameras (incl front) as well as mic in both foreground as well as background, whenever they want. I am NOT saying, they are doing this just for fun. but they are forced to do so, by you know who. (Ask any Army person you know, for the reason). There is a reason Govt banned lots of Mi's own Apps. For Girls, my order of preference in recommending is Pixels > iPhones > Samsung > Motorola > Rooted and Stock ROM flashed Chinese phones.
Finally, If going to use the phone for 4 years, 5G phone is better (waiting for few months will be still better). But if she can't wait (like say, due to bad condition of current phone), ask her to go for Moto G71 now.
