Honor Magic 3 Pro+

In a test of its gaming prowess, the Honor Magic 3 Pro+ has been put through its paces with four demanding games: a racing title, a popular multiplayer game, and two visually stunning RPGs. The device's top-end performance, screen quality, and dual speaker audio have been pushed to their limits. With temperatures soaring and battery life under scrutiny, the Honor Magic 3 Pro+ has emerged unscathed in most tests, but with a few notable exceptions. Does it truly live up to its gaming credentials?

vivo V40 Lite 5G

The Vivo V40 Lite 5G is an entry-to-mid-range smartphone that packs a punch with its unique design and impressive features. Available in three colors, the phone's matte finish gives it a sleek look, while the 6.67-inch AMOLED screen boasts a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels at 120Hz refresh rate. In terms of performance, the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, which provides decent gaming experience but not as smooth as higher-end devices. However, it's perfect for casual use like WhatsApp and taking photos. The battery life is also commendable, lasting around 13 hours and 30 minutes in standardized tests. The phone comes with an 80W flash charge, which can charge the device from 15% to completion in just 50 minutes, or even faster if the fastest charging option is enabled. However, be aware that this may cause overheating issues in the long run. The Fouch OS 14 runs the show, but it's not without its flaws, including annoying bugs and notification issues. Camera-wise, the dual-camera setup takes decent shots, with a notable feature being the aura light for portrait mode, which provides a diffused look to avoid harsh lighting. Other notable features include a USB-C port at the bottom, dual SIM card slots, and a relatively good color accuracy on the screen. Overall, the Vivo V40 Lite 5G is a solid choice for those looking for a smartphone that's great for everyday use, photo-taking, and casual gaming.
