Huawei nova 11i

The Huawei Nova 11i is a budget phone that's making waves in the mid-range smartphone market. With its sleek design and plastic frame, this device boasts a comfortable and sturdy feel in the hand. The highlight of this phone lies in its impressive display - a 6.8-inch IPS LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate and 94.9% screen-to-body ratio. Priced at an affordable 949 Dirhams, it's hard to ignore the Nova 11i's potential as a daily driver that balances performance, battery life, and features without breaking the bank. Is this phone worth your consideration?

realme C25

The Realme C25 is a solid contender in the smartphone space, offering a huge 6,000mAh battery, decent screen, and an affordable price tag. The device has a similar design to its older brother, Luminarso 38, with a square camera cutout and rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The back panel features a rigid texture that resembles brushed metal, making it resistant to fingerprint smudges. The Realme C25 packs a triple camera setup, including a 48MP primary lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. While the camera quality is decent in well-lit conditions, it struggles in low-light situations and produces over-sharpened images with excessive saturation. Under the hood, the device runs on Android 11 with RealmeUI 2.0, powered by a Mediatek Helio G70 CPU, Mali-G52 GPU, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. While it handles basic tasks like web browsing without issues, gaming performance is marred by slight hiccups when playing graphically intensive games. The 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1600x720 pixels offers decent visuals, but the screen's brightness could be improved. The device also supports 18W fast charging and reverse wireless charging. Priced at PHP 7,490, the Realme C25 is an attractive option for those seeking a budget-friendly smartphone with a long-lasting battery and decent performance. However, its camera capabilities are a letdown, and gaming enthusiasts might find it wanting in certain areas.
