The OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite beats the Moto G37 Power on most technical benchmarks, but buyers must decide whether those gains justify paying roughly ₹8,000 ($60) more.
Both phones carry 7,000mAh batteries, run Android 16, and target the budget segment in India. The comparison ends there.
Display
The Nord CE 6 Lite ships with a 6.72-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD panel running at 144Hz. The G37 Power uses a 6.67-inch HD+ IPS screen at 120Hz.
The resolution gap is the more significant difference. HD+ panels produce visibly softer text and images compared to Full HD+, particularly during video playback or extended reading sessions.
Performance
OnePlus chose the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Apex — a mid-range chip positioned above the Dimensity 6300 and 6400 variants Motorola uses, depending on the region. The Nord CE 6 Lite also pairs that processor with UFS 3.1 storage, which transfers data faster than the G37 Power’s UFS 2.2 standard.
In practical terms, that means faster app launches and smoother multitasking on the OnePlus device. The Moto handles everyday tasks without issue but trails under heavier workloads.
Charging
The Nord CE 6 Lite supports 45W wired charging, 10W reverse charging, and bypass charging — a feature that routes power directly to the processor during gaming to reduce heat and battery wear. The G37 Power supports 30W wired charging and 6W reverse charging.
Both phones will likely deliver multi-day battery life given their identical 7,000mAh capacity, according to manufacturer specifications.
Camera
Each phone uses a 50MP primary sensor. The Nord CE 6 Lite adds a second rear camera and records video at 4K at 30 frames per second with gyroscope-based electronic image stabilization. The G37 Power tops out at 2K video on the rear.
The front cameras both measure 8MP. OnePlus applies gyro-EIS to its selfie video as well; Motorola records selfie video at 2K without stabilization.
Where Motorola Wins
The G37 Power holds specific advantages. It includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, a dedicated microSD card slot, NFC support in select markets, and Gorilla Glass 7i screen protection — none of which appear on the Nord CE 6 Lite.
Motorola also uses an eco-leather rear panel, a material choice that differentiates the phone physically from most competitors at this price.
Price
The Moto G37 Power carries an approximate retail price of ₹15,000 in India, equivalent to around $180. The OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite is priced at approximately ₹23,000, or around $240, according to available market listings. Prices vary by region and retailer.
Background
OnePlus and Motorola have each pursued distinct strategies in the Indian budget segment. Motorola has leaned on broad feature coverage and aggressive pricing, while OnePlus has historically prioritized display quality and charging speed even on lower-cost models. The Nord CE and Moto G series represent the core of each brand’s high-volume push in markets where the ₹10,000–₹25,000 price band drives the majority of smartphone sales, according to International Data Corporation market tracking for South Asia.
