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.

Ulefone Note 18 Ultra

The Ulefone Note 18 Ultra is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers a decent set of features at an affordable price point of around $140. The phone boasts a large screen perfect for watching videos, a big battery life that can last up to 2-3 days on a single charge, and supports 5G connectivity. The camera performance is average, suitable for everyday snaps but not ideal for professional photography. However, the phone's customizable button on the side is a convenient feature that allows users to quickly launch their favorite app. In terms of gaming performance, the Note 18 Ultra holds its own with casual games like Asphalt 9 Legends and PUBG Mobile running smoothly on medium settings. However, hardcore gamers may find it lacking in more demanding titles. The phone runs on Android 13, which is slightly outdated but promises an update to Android 14 within a reasonable timeframe. The MediaTek Dimensity 720 chip handles daily tasks efficiently, and the 6GB RAM provides sufficient multitasking capabilities. Other notable features include NFC for contactless payments, Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi 5 connectivity. While it's not the most powerful phone in its class, the Ulefone Note 18 Ultra delivers the essentials at a great price, making it a solid option for everyday users who value a good-looking phone with basic functionality. Overall, the Ulefone Note 18 Ultra scores a respectable 7 out of 10, offering a reliable and feature-rich experience without breaking the bank.
