With a 6.75-inch HD+ display and a massive 6000mAh battery, this phone promises to deliver extended usage hours. However, its performance is compromised by an outdated Kirin 710A processor and a relatively low-resolution display. Additionally, the camera system, while functional, may not meet expectations in certain lighting conditions. This review aims to assess whether the Nova Y71's value lies in its price or its actual features.

The Note 12 also features a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth connectivity, airplane mode, long screenshot, flashlights, and auto rotate, making it a standard smartphone in terms of features. However, the phone's design may not be for everyone due to its heavy weight, which might make it uncomfortable to carry. While the Note 12 is not the most techy or feature-rich smartphone on the market, it makes up for it with its good camera quality and impressive battery life. The phone's durability remains to be seen after prolonged use, but it shows promise as a budget-friendly option for those seeking a basic yet functional smartphone experience. In terms of design, the Ulefone Note 12 has three cameras on the back and a decent build quality. However, its weight may be a drawback for some users who prefer lighter smartphones. Overall, the Note 12 is a solid choice for those looking for a budget-friendly option with good camera capabilities and decent battery life.
