Like POCO, Motorola is also back on track because the company has just launched Motorola One Fusion+ which is also priced at Rs 17,000.
Now, the question is, which one is best for you. So this is what we’re about to find out. So let’s begin.

Motorola One Fusion+ vs POCO X2: Which one you should buy
Between Motorola One Fusion+ and POCO X2, I would say Motorola One Fusion+ is the best buy because its priced at 17k and you’re getting 6GB of Ram and 128GB storage while at 17k POCO is offering 6GB Ram and 64GB storage. Also, Motorola One Fusion+ comes with a clean Android 10. In short, Motorola One Fusion+ is a better option as compared to POCO X2.
I give you a direct answer but why Motorola One Fusion+ is a better option then POCO X2, so let’s explore a little bit more…
Display Quality
Motorola One Fusion+ and POCO X2 comes with LCD panel, so the display quality is going to be the same on both the phone but Motorola One Fusion+ comes with the full-view display while POCO X2 has punch hole notch.
POCO X2 comes with 120Hz display which could be a great feature for some people but if you ask me, I would say, we don’t have many games who support above 60Hz refresh rate, so there is no need for 120Hz. Still, if you want to experience 120Hz then you can go with POCO X2 because Motorola One Fusion+ only offers a 60Hz display.
Design
I won’t say much about design because it depends on your personal preference. If you don’t like the pop-up camera then you may like POCO X2. In short, it depends on your choice.
Camera Quality
The POCO X2 comes with 64MP primary sensor, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro and depth sensor while Motorola One Fusion+ comes with the same 64MP primary sensor, 8MP ultra-wide but it has 5MP macro lens and 2MP depth sensor.
What I’m saying, as of now POCO X2 has good cameras because the phone was launched on 12th Feb 2020 that means POCO has optimized the camera via OTA update. While Motorola One Fusion+ is recently launched.
In short, POCO X2 will provide better image quality then Motorola One Fusion+. If Motorola provides OTA update and fixes the camera a little bit then it’s going to be better then POCO X2. So the question is, which one is better?
Go with Motorola One Fusion+ because the camera is not that bad, so if the phone receives the updates then it’s going to be better and better.
Performance
Both the Motorola One Fusion+ and POCO X2 are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G but POCO X2 runs on MIUI while Motorola One Fusion+ runs on Stock Android 10. If you ask me, which one you would buy?
I would go with Motorola One Fusion+ because I don’t like the way MIUI looks, I need simple UI. Performance is going to be the same on both the phone, now you have to decide whether you like MIUI or Stock Android.
Battery Life
The Motorola One Fusion+ has a whopping 5,000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging support while POCO X2 comes with 4,500 mAh battery with 27W fast charging support. Here, POCO wins the race.
