The device features a sleek design with a compact size, making it easy to handle and carry around. The 6.0-inch display provides a crisp and vibrant visual experience, while the dual-SIM support allows for seamless switching between networks. Under the hood, the Pixel 4a 5G packs a punch with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB storage options. The device runs on Android 10, providing a clean and intuitive user interface. Battery life is decent, with an estimated 12 hours of video playback.

realme Narzo 50A

The Realme Narzo 50A is an affordable smartphone priced from Rs. 11,999 in India. While it checks all the right boxes on paper, its worthiness of the price tag remains uncertain. Design-wise, the phone sticks to Realme's familiar principles with a simple yet practical back panel made of polycarbonate. The rear camera module extends till the center of the phone and engulfs the fingerprint reader, making it sometimes difficult to find. However, the grooved texture on the back helps with grip due to its big and heavy build at 207 grams. Performance-wise, the Realme Narzo 50A is decent for casual gaming but struggles with heavy games. The Mediatek Helio G85 Soc doesn't always allow heavy games to run smoothly, with Call of Duty Mobile just playable at default low graphics settings. Moreover, the phone warmed up quickly during gameplay. In terms of display, the phone features a 6.5-inch HD+ screen with a water drop style notch that looks outdated compared to punch-hole displays offered by competitors. However, the display looked sufficiently sharp and had decent viewing angles. Battery life is an area where the Narzo 50A excels, lasting two whole days with casual gaming and up to three days on light usage. The cameras, though impressive on paper, failed to impress in real-world scenarios. The primary camera struggled to produce detailed photos, especially when zoomed in. Selfies had good detail but looked over-sharpened, and the portrait mode was subpar. Macros weren't great either, looking over-sharpened and dramatic. In conclusion, the Realme Narzo 50A is a smartphone with reliable battery life and basic features. However, it's not ideal for gamers due to its performance limitations. Its cameras also fall short of expectations. Overall, this phone is best suited for those seeking a budget option with long battery life but can live with average cameras, design, and performance.
