Huawei nova 11 Pro

The Huawei Nova 11 Pro is a mid-range smartphone that prioritizes selfie-centric features. With two front-facing cameras, this device aims to impress the younger audience. While it boasts a unique leather design and super fast charging capabilities, the upgrade over its predecessor feels limited. The lack of significant improvements in camera quality, video recording, and chipset make it fall behind competitors. This review will delve into whether the Nova 11 Pro's features justify its existence as a worthwhile purchase.

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.
