If you’re shopping for a power-packed 5G smartphone under ₹16,000, two strong contenders are making waves: the Tecno Pova Curve 5G and the Moto G85. Both models deliver impressive specs at an affordable price — but each excels in different ways. So which one gives you the better value for your money? Here’s a side-by-side comparison to help you decide.
Processor: Raw Power vs Multitasking
