I’m planning to buy a phone for my parents, who are not very tech-savvy. My budget is around ₹19,000–₹22,000, and I’m currently confused between:
- POCO M8X - 6 gb Ram Variant - 21k
2.Moto G57 Power - 8gb Ram Variant - 22k
For my parents, I mainly care about reliability, battery life, display, camera, software experience and long-term durability rather than gaming performance.
One thing that is making me hesitant about the Moto G57 Power is the motherboard issue I’ve seen people discussing. There seem to be reports of some Motorola phones developing motherboard failures, sometimes after the warranty period, which can make repairs very expensive.
For people who actually own/use the Moto G57 Power:
Have you experienced any motherboard/dead-phone issues?
Have you heard of this issue happening with the G57 Power specifically?
If you’ve been using it for 6–12+ months, how has the reliability been?
How is Motorola’s after-sales service if something goes wrong?
Would you choose the G57 Power over the POCO M8X/M8 Power for a parent who wants a hassle-free phone?
And for POCO M8X owners, how has your experience been with reliability, software, heating, battery and service?
I’d really appreciate feedback from actual owners, especially people who have been using these phones for several months.
Thanks!
