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?

Xiaomi Redmi 9T

The Xiaomi Redmi 9T is an entry-level phone that shares many similarities with its counterpart, the Poco M3. However, there are some notable differences that set it apart. The design, for instance, boasts a glossy metallic finish and a splash-proof build, making it a great option for those who want peace of mind. The device also features NFC support, which is not available on the Poco M3. Under the hood, the Redmi 9T sports a Snapdragon 662 chipset, which provides decent performance but falls short in GPU-intensive tasks. This is likely due to the phone's 1080p display, which can be demanding on the processor. Despite this, the device manages to deliver excellent battery life, with our proprietary tests yielding an impressive 150 hours of usage. The cameras on the Redmi 9T are a mixed bag. The 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera is a welcome addition, but its photos lack detail and sharpness. The main camera takes good photos during the day, but struggles in low light conditions. Night mode does improve the quality, but it's still not up to par with other phones in this price range. In conclusion, the Xiaomi Redmi 9T offers a great balance of features for its price. While it may not excel in every department, it makes up for it with its splash-proof build, NFC support, and excellent battery life. For those looking for an entry-level phone that ticks all the right boxes, the Redmi 9T is definitely worth considering.
