Motorola Moto G Pure vs TCL K33 5G

The TCL K33 5G is the better buy for most people. It doubles storage to 64GB, adds 1GB of RAM, a larger 6.75-inch display, a 5010mAh battery and fast charging. The Moto G Pure counters with a fingerprint reader plus face unlock, a headphone jack, a macro lens and a lighter body. Owners of the Moto G Pure rate it modestly at 3.2 out of 5, with 32GB and 3GB of RAM the common complaints. Neither is a fast phone; both are budget 5G handsets, and the TCL simply gives you more headroom for apps and photos.

  • Choose the Moto G Pure if you want face unlock alongside a fingerprint reader, a headphone jack, and a lighter phone for calls and light apps.
  • Choose the TCL K33 5G if you want more storage and RAM, a bigger screen and a larger battery that charges faster.

What reviewers say

Motorola Moto G Pure

  • 3.2 / 559 ratings

What people mention
  • PerformanceCriticisedOwners say it slows down with several apps open.
  • StorageCriticised32 GB fills fast, so a microSD card is close to required.
  • DisplayMixedThe 6.5-inch screen is big, but 720p resolution looks soft.
  • BatteryPraisedReviewers say it gets through a full day of light use.
