The Honor X5B Plus is an entry-level smartphone that has been generating a lot of buzz lately. This device boasts an impressive combination of style, performance, and features, making it a compelling option for those in the market for a budget-friendly phone. Design-wise, the X5B Plus sports a sleek and modern look, with a plastic matte finish back and sturdy frame that gives it a premium feel. It's slim, lightweight, and comfortable to hold, yet durable enough for daily use. The device is available in two fresh color options: Ocean Blue and Mintte Black. The phone features a 6.56-inch TFD LCD HD Plus display with a high brightness of 513 nits, making it perfect for streaming content and browsing social media apps. The smooth 90Hz refresh rate ensures a fluid responsive experience whether you're scrolling, watching videos, or engaging in light gaming. Under the hood, the X5B Plus is powered by a mid-range processor, the MediaTek Helio G36, which provides steady performance for daily apps and popular mobile games. However, it may not be able to handle high-graphics games like PUBG and Mobile Legends. The phone's camera setup is capable, with a 50MP primary sensor that captures sharp detail shots in good lighting. The additional auxiliary lens enhances video quality, and the 5MP front-facing camera takes good selfies. One area where the X5B Plus truly shines is its battery life, with a 5,200mAh battery that easily lasts all day and beyond. Charging support includes 10W fast charging. Overall, the Honor X5B Plus offers great value for its price, balancing performance, display quality, camera capabilities, and design in a way that makes it a fantastic choice for those looking for an affordable phone with a decent feature set. With a price tag of 319 Dirhams in Dubai, this device is definitely worth considering.
The Ulefone Note 12P is another iteration of the company's Note series, boasting impressive specs for its price point. The device features a massive 7,700mAh battery, a 6.82-inch display with a relatively low resolution of 720p, and a Unisoc SC9863A processor that's likely to be power-hungry. Despite its impressive battery life, the Note 12P struggles to run certain games smoothly, particularly at higher settings. The device also falls short in terms of camera quality, with poor image and video recording capabilities, as well as mono sound. The microphone picks up sound poorly, and the phone's screen is a fingerprint magnet. One redeeming aspect of the Note 12P is its ability to run on the Google Play Store, which means users can access regular security updates and other apps without any issues. However, with Xiaomi's Redmi series offering similar specs at lower price points, the Note 12P may struggle to hold its value in the long term. Overall, the Ulefone Note 12P is a basic phone that excels at providing long battery life but falls short in terms of overall performance and features. While it may be a good option for those looking for a simple device with access to Google Play Store updates, buyers should expect some compromises on camera quality, display resolution, and sound capabilities. The Note 12P's biggest weakness is its reliance on an outdated processor that consumes too much power. This results in limited performance and battery life that's not as impressive as the manufacturer claims. Despite this, the phone remains a viable option for those seeking a basic device with decent specs at an affordable price point.
