Apple iPhone 12 Pro

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro boasts several upgrades over its predecessor. The device features a larger screen with improved durability, powered by a significantly faster chipset that also supports 5G connectivity. Portrait photography has seen an improvement, thanks to enhanced depth mapping provided by the new lidar camera, which enables more precise subject separation and better detail in portrait shots. The iPhone 12 Pro's camera system also includes a wider-angle ultra-wide lens, which now supports night mode for improved low-light performance. The device's selfie camera is capable of capturing detailed images with good contrast and color balance, and it can take high-quality selfies even in low light conditions. When shooting video, the iPhone 12 Pro delivers excellent quality, particularly when using the main or telephoto lenses. However, the ultra-wide lens produces mediocre results, and low-light footage from this camera is especially poor. One notable omission is a charger; users will have to provide their own. Furthermore, the device's display still lags behind in terms of refresh rate and resolution compared to some other smartphones on the market. In comparison to the standard iPhone 12, the Pro model offers two key upgrades: an optical zoom feature that allows for more versatility in camera shots, and a lidar camera that enhances depth mapping. However, the price difference between these models varies depending on the region; while it may be worth paying extra for the upgraded camera system in some markets, others may find the standard iPhone 12 to be the better value proposition. Overall, the Apple iPhone 12 Pro represents an incremental upgrade over its predecessor, offering improved performance and features without a significant price increase. Whether or not these upgrades are worth the investment will depend on individual priorities and needs.

Honor Magic Vs

The Honor Magic Vs is a promising foldable smartphone that boasts impressive features, including a large display, fast charging, flagship chipset, and great cameras. The device's 5,000mAh battery is its largest among current foldables, but unfortunately, it only delivers average battery life. The camera performance of the Honor Magic Vs is one of its strongest aspects. The 54MP main camera captures excellent photos with good detail, balanced color rendition, and wide dynamic range. The 8MP telephoto camera and 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera also produce great results, especially in low-light conditions. However, the device's launch price is quite high, making it less competitive against its rivals, such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. Additionally, the Magic Vs lacks features like stylus support, waterproofing, and wireless charging that are available on other foldable smartphones. One notable omission is the ability to use the external screen as a viewfinder for taking selfies with the main camera, which may be a minor inconvenience for some users. The device's video recording capabilities also have their limitations, with excessive sharpening and contrast in the main camera's footage. Overall, while the Honor Magic Vs has many impressive features, its shortcomings make it hard to recommend as the most value-for-money option. For those seeking alternatives, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is another strong contender, along with the Techno Phantom V-Fold.
