Okay so I'm very budget conscious person, almost everything I do involves a budget, even my underpants are budget, in all seriousness, I'm currently in possession of two phones, one being the ZTE blade x max which is locked to Cricket, the other being a verizon Moto e4 that I've unlocked, I'm stuck between which I should use as my daily driver, I don't do any mobile gaming, don't like social media (except a bit of Facebook drama) and honestly I just need feedback on which of the two I should use.

OH alright, so that means my on the e my brightness would have to be higher to achieve what the ZTE screen does on minimal brightness?

The ZTE has a 1080p screen, vs the Moto's 720p panel. This essentially means that the ZTE will look better, especially in media consumption.

Oh well I don't really do much media consumption on my phones, all that is done with my TV or PC, Never touch the YouTube app. I'm just concerned about which gives the best overall user experience as far as usability and smoothness, I don't expect either one to be lighting fast because of sd 425 but out of the two besides the screen difference which would you say?

I can't seem to find info on those phones. Do they share the same processor? If so, the Moto e4 will probably be slightly faster, due to not having to render as many pixels. However, I do not know for sure as I cannot find the specs of these phones.
