Google Pixel 6 Pro

The Google Pixel 6 Pro boasts a striking new design, with a powerful triple camera setup, huge battery, and impressive performance from the Google Tensor chip. However, its battery life falls short, and while the cameras are capable, they require some tweaking to achieve consistent results. One of the standout features of the Pixel 6 Pro is its ability to capture up to 2.5 times more light than its predecessor, resulting in excellent low-light photography. The camera software also receives a boost with the Google Tensor chip, allowing for faster and more efficient HDR corrections. Video quality has seen significant improvements as well, with great dynamic range and pleasing colors in both 4K at 60 FPS and two times video modes. The phone's performance is generally strong, making it suitable for gaming and other resource-intensive tasks. However, sustained gaming does push the limits of the Google Tensor chip, which can lead to some frame drops. Nonetheless, the Pixel 6 Pro is a solid option in the premium smartphone market, especially considering its starting price of $899. Google's commitment to software updates is also worth noting, with three years of OS updates and five years of security patches promised. This means that even after two or three years, the phone will still receive important security patches, giving users peace of mind. Overall, while the Pixel 6 Pro has some minor setbacks, it remains a compelling device for those looking to upgrade from an older smartphone. However, if you already own a more recent Google Pixel, it may be worth waiting for the second generation of Google Tensor chip before considering an upgrade.

Samsung Galaxy M15 5G

The Samsung Galaxy M15 5G is a budget smartphone that packs a punch with its impressive features. The device boasts a stunning Super AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate, making it almost flagship-level. The phone's build quality is also noteworthy, despite being made of plastic, which gives it a premium feel. In terms of performance, the Galaxy M15 5G delivers decent results for a budget device. The camera setup is satisfactory, with a wide-angle sensor and macro mode that produces good-quality photos. However, the night photography mode didn't make much of an impact, and video recording tops out at Full HD at 30fps. One of the standout features of this phone is its massive 6000mAh battery, which provides an incredible 12 hours and 42 minutes of battery life according to PCMark benchmarking. The addition of 25W fast charging support is also a welcome feature. Other notable aspects of the Galaxy M15 5G include its dual-SIM capabilities with 5G connectivity, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3 support, and NFC for contactless payments. While not perfect, this phone offers an excellent balance of features at an affordable price point. The display, software, and battery life are particularly notable strengths that set it apart from other budget smartphones.
