Best in segmentAlex Valentino (Jul 6, 2023) on Gadgets 360 RecommendsCould improve quality in display. Battery, Camera, charging and sound quality is excellent. I previously bought Moto g52 9months ago for almost the same price, but it is no where near the realm of Nord. Worth every pennyIs this review helpful?
