Poco uses the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. Samsung employs its own Exynos 1330 processor. Motorola opts for the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3. Each processor handles daily tasks capably. The choice depends on brand preference.
The battery on the Poco C85 is 6000mAh which supports reverse charging, as well as fast charging at speeds of 33W (Watt). The Samsung M17’s battery is 5000mAh and is capable of charging up to 25W and the battery for the Motorola G45 is also at 5000mAh and the phone supports slower 20W fast charging.
