Motorola Moto G54: Users who prioritize battery life, overall performance, a lighter phone, and smoother video recording at 1080p.

4. Decision Framework

Key Questions:

  1. How important is battery life?
  2. Is heavy multitasking a frequent need?
  3. Which is more important: Higher resolution video or smoother 1080p video?

Scenario-Based Recommendations:

  • Heavy User: Moto G54 for its longer battery life and stronger performance.
  • Multitasker: Blackview A96 for its extra RAM.
  • Casual User: Moto G54 for its overall balance and lighter weight.

My Choice: Motorola Moto G54

The Moto G54 is the better overall phone for most users. The significantly larger battery, lighter weight, and more powerful processor with more modern CPU cores outweigh the Blackview A96's advantages in RAM and video resolution. While 12GB RAM is appealing, 8GB is still sufficient for most users, and the performance gains from the Dimensity 7020 will be more noticeable in day-to-day usage. The considerable difference in battery life is a crucial factor for most users. The lighter weight enhances comfort significantly. Finally, while missing specifications like peak brightness prevent a complete analysis, the available data strongly points towards the Moto G54 as the superior choice.
