Moto G84 vs Galaxy A54: who has the better screen?
Seen from the front and at first glance, we can very well say that Moto G84 and Galaxy A54 look almost identical. The difference between the screens of each mobile phone is only 0.1 inches. However, as is usually the case with comparisons, the differences are in the details.

As for the screen, it seems to us that the most significant difference is the maximum brightness, which is higher on the Moto G84. In terms of screen protection, the Moto G84 uses Panda Glass, which, although less well known than Corning’s Gorilla Glass, also offers a good level of protection. In any case, it is best to protect the phone you choose with a case.
When it comes to the design of each, we have mixed feelings. And while we’re fans of the Galaxy design, the truth is, the Moto G84 has a nice design, especially if you opt for the genuine leather version.
Moto G84 vs Galaxy A54: who has the better camera?
The photography section is definitely the distinguishing aspect between the Moto G84 and the Galaxy A54, and although they are in the same range and have relatively similar prices, your experience will be much better if you go for the Samsung.

For example, in the selfie section, you are sure to see more details if you choose the Galaxy A54.
When using the main cameras, the results you get from the Moto G84 are pretty average. You’ll notice chromatic aberration, little detail when zooming in on photos, and trouble focusing when using a wide angle. The only area where we’d say the Moto G84 could perform better than the Galaxy A54 is night mode.
For the casual user, the Moto G84’s cameras are probably fine, but if you plan to use it to create content for social media, you might want to consider another option.
On the other hand, the Galaxy A54 remains one of the best mid-range cameras. The level of detail it captures is fantastic and you’ll get better results overall.
Moto G84 vs Galaxy A54: who has better performance?
Overall, the Galaxy A54 has and will have better performance in the medium term, with the Exynos 1380 outperforming the Snapdragon 695 5G. However, in terms of general use, the experience is pretty much the same from phone to phone. However, as we’ve already noted, it’s possible that as both phones update, the Moto G84 will start to slow down much sooner than the Galaxy A54.
When it comes to the battery, you won’t see much difference between each cell phone, except of course charging, which is slightly faster on the Moto G84.
Moto G84 vs Galaxy A54: which is better?
We believe that the decision to buy a particular mobile phone should be based on your needs, especially in the photography section. If you are a user who is too keen on social media and content creation, then definitely go for the Galaxy A54.
On the other hand, if your digital life doesn’t revolve around taking photos and uploading them to social media, the Moto G84 will suit you just fine. By the way, you could purchase some accessories for the difference in price.
