The Motorola Moto C was one of the silent Moto releases of 2017. Although it is at one of the lowest price points for budget phones, is the Moto C worth it? In the post, we'll have a look at the features of the Moto C.
Bands, Screen, Cameras
Bands: The Moto C has access to all the current 3G bands in Australia, and also the major 4G bands as well. This allows the Moto C to access the fast 4G bands for excellent browsing, and also makes the Moto C a great futureproof phone.
Screen: The Moto C has a 5 inch screen which is a 480 x 854 pixel display. While this isn't the largest screen and the largest resolution in the market, the Moto C is at a size that is ideal to hold and will sit comfortable in your pocket. The screen is still easily to do reading at 196 pixel per inch, and also won't stress the battery life too much.
Cameras: The Motorola Moto C has a 5 megapixel back camera and 2 megapixel front camera, with LED Flash, geo-tagging, and panorama. It does lack autofocus, but it is still capable of taking some commendable shots in good lighting conditions. However as with most budget handsets, low light shots will struggle to maintain the same level of detail.

On first look, the LG Q6 looks just like their latest flagship, the LG G6. But unlike the G6, LG Q6 is not a flagship phone, it is a budget phone. But does the LG Q6 still have enough to offer to make it an attractive purchase? In this post, we'll have a look at all the features of the LG Q6.

The HTC One X10 was released by HTC in 2017, and promises long battery life, excellent build quality and many more. How does it fare in all the features and is it worth it for the price? In the post, we'll have a look.
Performance
Battery Life
First of all, lets jump right into looking at the battery life. In a day and age where most phones are only able to last one day, anything above that is considered excellent, and the HTC One X10 ticks that box. HTC has promised 'Up to 2 days of use' and that should be the case for light to medium users, as many reviews have attested for. Heavy users who usually struggle to make their phone last the day should be able to more easily last the day. For comparison, the battery capacity of the HTC One X10 is a massive 4000mAH, whilst most other similar phones usually have a capacity of around 2800mAh-3000mAh.
Processor and Memory
The HTC One X10 is certainly not lacking in memory, with 32GB of on-board storage and 3GB of RAM. 3GB of RAM certainly seems to be the sweet spot right now, and should allow you to run many apps simultaneously without many issues. 32GB of storage is plenty as well, but if you are a heavy media user who needs more than that, there is the usual slot for you to add in a MicroSD card of up to 256 GB to expand the storage. The HTC One X10 is powered by the Mediatek Helio P10 chipset with Octa-Core CPU, and benchmarks and real world reviews both show that the chipset in the One X10 compares well to its mid-range Snapdragon alternatives, being very fast. As a result, the One X10 should be able to handle most basic to medium tasks without any lag.
