Motorola Edge 30 Pro

The Motorola Edge 30 Pro - a mid-range smartphone that promises big performance on a budget. With Android 13 running smoothly and a respectable battery life, this device is a decent option for those seeking a hassle-free experience. However, its large size and underwhelming camera capabilities may be a turn-off for some users. In this review, we'll delve into the pros and cons of this phone, exploring whether its affordability justifies its compromises on design and photography.

Apple iPhone 13 mini

The iPhone 13 mini is identical in size and design to its predecessor, the iPhone 12 mini, with some minor changes such as diagonal camera alignment and a slightly reduced notch. Despite being heavier and thicker than the 12 mini, it still feels comfortable to use due to its compact size. One of the standout features of the iPhone 13 mini is its display, which boasts a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR screen with HDR 10 Dolby Vision support. The screen has excellent brightness, color accuracy, and pixel density, making it one of the sharpest displays on this year's iPhone lineup. The phone also features stereo speakers with good loudness and audio quality, and a large 2,438mAh battery that provides an impressive 75-hour endurance rating. Despite being small, the battery is 10% larger than last year's model. Under the hood, the iPhone 13 mini packs Apple's A15 Bionic chip with 4GB of RAM, making it one of the fastest mobile chipsets available. The phone also features iOS 15 out of the box, which brings improved notification management and other significant upgrades. The camera system on the iPhone 13 mini is identical to its larger siblings, featuring a 12MP main camera and a 12MP ultrawide camera with sensor shift stabilization and fixed focus. While the camera performs well in good light conditions, it struggles with foliage rendering and noise in low-light situations. The selfie camera, however, produces excellent results with great detail, contrast, and color accuracy. Overall, the iPhone 13 mini offers a unique blend of compact design, excellent display, powerful performance, and top-notch camera quality, making it the best compact flagship on the market.
