Pros and Cons
Asus Zenfone 10
Strengths
The display has a great contrast, support for HDR 10 plus video, and good color accuracy.
The fingerprint reader is blazing fast and reliable.
The phone comes with IP68 protection against water and dust.
The battery life is similar to the previous model, but with better screen on results.
The charging speed is nearly the same as expected, with a 30 watt wired charger that can top up the phone from 0 to 60 percent in half an hour.
The cameras take solid day photos with plenty of detail and good dynamic range.
The main camera has gimbal stabilized video capture up to 8K at 24fps.
The Zenfone 10 is still a great phone, one of the best compact flagships on the market.
Weaknesses
The display's highest refresh rate setting is only usable in games.
The cameras lose autofocus on the ultra wide and selfie cams compared to the previous model.
The ultrawide cam's video quality is good, but lacks contrast and wide dynamic range.
There is a bit of sharpening in low light conditions that can lend details a slightly over-processed look.
The phone doesn't have any major upgrades over the previous model except for the chipset and wireless charging.
The white balance in indoor scenes with the selfie cam was a bit too cold.
You might not need to upgrade if you already have last year's Zenfone 9, as it's still a great phone.
The camera's ability to handle movement like running is not perfect.
realme 14 Pro+
Strengths
For $27,999, the Realme 14 Pro+ is a killer package that offers great value for money.
The device features a good display that provides super battery life, reliable cameras, and impressive performance.
The phone's 120Hz refresh rate is optimized well by Realme, making everything feel super snappy and responsive.
The device comes with a huge 6,000 mAh battery that can last for 1.5 to 2 days on heavy use.
The 80 W charger quickly charges the phone from 0 to 100% in about 45-55 minutes.
The Realme 14 Pro+ is highly recommendable, especially considering its competitive price point.
Weaknesses
The device lacks NFC, which may be a surprise for some users, but it's not a deal-breaker since many people don't use this feature.
The phone comes with a lot of bloatware apps pre-installed, which can be annoying and take up storage space.
There is no headphone jack on the Realme 14 Pro+, which may be a drawback for some users who prefer wired audio connections.
The device's storage type is UFS 3.1, but it would have been nice to see faster storage options like UFS 4.0 or even SSD storage.
The phone's interface is optimized well, but the app drawer can feel cluttered with all the pre-installed apps and bloatware.
There are some minor complaints about the device's performance in certain benchmarks, although it still performs well in day-to-day use.
