Honor X6

The Honor X6 is a budget-friendly smartphone that boasts a sleek design, but its performance and camera capabilities leave much to be desired. The phone's display is decent for the price, with clear visuals, but it lacks a high refresh rate and vibrant colors. Under the hood, the Honor X6 packs a mid-range processor, which provides adequate performance for everyday tasks, but struggles when multitasking or demanding apps are used. The 4GB of RAM also feels restrictive, leading to occasional lag and slowdowns. The camera system on the Honor X6 is a letdown, with a 50-megapixel primary sensor that fails to deliver impressive results. Photos lack detail in good lighting conditions, and color reproduction is dull. The presence of only two 2-megapixel cameras for macro and depth sensing further limits the camera's capabilities. Video recording is also subpar, topping out at 1080p at 30 frames per second. Selfies taken with the 5-megapixel front camera are similarly underwhelming, with poor detail and performance in low-light conditions. Given its price point of £150, there are better options available in the market. Phones like the Motorola G32 offer superior displays, performance, and camera experiences for a similar price. The Honor X6 is an okay option if you're set on getting an Honor phone, but it's not the best choice. If you're looking for a budget smartphone, consider alternatives from Xiaomi, Realme, or Oppo that offer higher refresh rates, better displays, and improved cameras.

Samsung Galaxy A02

The Samsung Galaxy A02 is a budget-friendly smartphone that fails to deliver on its promises. Despite having a quad-core Mediatek processor and 3GB of RAM, the phone's performance is sluggish, making everyday tasks like web browsing and app usage frustrating experiences. The phone's camera, display, and battery life are average at best, but it's the poor performance that really stands out as a major issue. Even simple tasks like loading apps or browsing the web become long-winded processes, making it feel like a chore to use the phone. What's even more puzzling is that when you do finally manage to get into a game, it runs surprisingly smoothly. It's a strange paradox where the phone can handle demanding games but struggles with everyday tasks. This inconsistency makes no sense and only adds to the overall frustration of using this device. In terms of specifications, the phone has a 4-year-old quad-core Mediatek processor and either 2 or 3GB of RAM, which is not impressive compared to other devices in its price range. The Geekbench scores are also underwhelming, putting it at the bottom of the list among recent phones. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A02 feels like a phone that's been left behind by time and technology. Even considering its low price point, it's hard to recommend this device when there are better options available for the same or slightly higher cost. The a02s and a12, both more expensive than the A02 but still budget-friendly, offer far superior performance, cameras, and features. Unless Samsung releases some significant software updates in the near future, it's best to avoid the Galaxy A02 altogether. Instead, consider one of its better siblings or other devices from different manufacturers that can provide a much smoother and more enjoyable user experience.
