Google Pixel 8 Pro

The Google Pixel 8 Pro is a flagship camera phone that brings several changes over its predecessor. One notable upgrade is the display, which is now flat and extra bright, making it ideal for viewing content. The new chipset also provides improvements in performance. However, the battery life of the device falls short compared to competitors, with an overall endurance rating of just 90 hours. Thermal management is another area where the Pixel 8 Pro lags behind, experiencing significant thermal throttling during prolonged stress tests. The cameras are one of the standout features of the phone, with a 50-megapixel main camera and a new 48-megapixel telephoto lens that offers five times optical zoom. The ultra-wide-angle camera has also been upgraded to capture excellent photos in low light conditions. Video recording is similarly impressive, with great detail and dynamic range. One unique feature of the Pixel 8 Pro is its built-in thermometer, which can be used for environmental monitoring. Overall, the Google Pixel 8 Pro is a solid flagship camera phone that excels in various areas. While it may not match the performance of competitors in certain aspects, its strengths in display and camera capabilities make it a great option for those looking for a reliable and feature-rich smartphone. Despite some shortcomings, the Pixel 8 Pro remains a compelling choice for those who value long-term software support – Google promises seven years of updates. If you're considering alternatives, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max are worth exploring, but the Pixel 8 Pro is certainly a great option to consider.

vivo v40E

The Vivo V40E is a mid-range smartphone that boasts an impressive 5500 mAh battery capacity and 80W super fast charging capabilities. In this test review, we put the phone's charging speed to the test. With a fully dead battery (1% charge), we connected the phone to its 80W charger and let it run for 15 minutes, after which it reached 46%. The charging speed was remarkably fast, considering the phone's size and capacity. At 25 minutes, the battery had reached 67%, and by 35 minutes, it had climbed to 87%. The phone continued to charge quickly, hitting 96% by the 40-minute mark. After a further three minutes, the battery finally hit 100%. The entire charging process took just 43 minutes, a testament to the power of Vivo's 80W super fast charging technology. In our test conditions (21°C room temperature), the phone's charging speed was impressive, and we would expect similar results in everyday use. While the battery size is substantial, the phone's overall design is still sleek, with a glass back and plastic frame, featuring dual cameras and a 50MP primary sensor. While this review focused solely on the battery charging test, it's clear that the Vivo V40E has plenty to offer, including its speedy charging capabilities. If you're in the market for a mid-range smartphone with impressive specs, the Vivo V40E is definitely worth considering.
