Pros and Cons

OnePlus Ace

Strengths

The A3's display panel is the same as a realme GT5 Pro, with a high peak brightness of 4,500 nit.
The screen has its highlights, such as full-screen brightness reaching 1,600 nits and manual maximum brightness reaching 800 NITs.
The phone supports LTPo, Gorilla Victus 2, and other eye-protecting features.
OnePlus has kept the same design on five different models, including this one.
The A3's main camera uses the IMX A90 a sensor, commonly used in Oppo family phones like the iON NE 9.
The main camera is a flexiblent performer and can take good photos at both 23mm and 56mm (twice the zoom) without any issues.
The phone has a large 5,500mAh battery with high charging power, making it the king of battery life in its price range.
The A3 supports super resolution and frame interpolation, allowing all games to be played at 1200p and 120Hz.

Weaknesses

The phone still uses the same camera design as previous models, which is not ideal.
The macro camera is poor in image quality and buggy, with a greenish left side and reddish right side of the photo.
The ultra-wide camera is not good, with low clarity and getting worse in low-light conditions.
There's no Wiress charging, IP68, or USB-C 3.0 on this phone, which is surprising given its price point.
The IR emitter is back, but there's a step back in the super large vibration motor, now just a normal linear motor.
The timing feel of the fingerprint recognition is rather ordinary and not as smooth as some other phones.
This phone still uses USB 2.0, which is less common at this price point.
The main camera can be buggy sometimes, especially when using HDR or exposure compensation.

Samsung Galaxy M35

Strengths

The Samsung Galaxy M35 offers surprisingly decent performance with its Exynos 1380 chip, handling basic tasks and demanding games like BGMI and CODM smoothly.
The phone's battery life is excellent, lasting up to a day and a half on regular use, and dropping by only 30% after three hours of heavy gaming.
The camera setup is decent, with good detail and natural colors in photos taken with the main 50MP lens, although portrait mode can struggle to detect edges.
The phone has a great display, featuring a punchy 6.6-inch Super AMOLED panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, super bright up to 1000 nits, and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection.
The sound quality is surprisingly good thanks to the Stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos support.
The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that's quick and responsive.
Samsung's commitment to updates is solid, with 4 years of Android update and 5 years of security patches.
The phone has NFC for easy payments.

Weaknesses

The Exynos chip may not be as powerful as a Snapdragon processor, which could affect gaming performance in graphically intensive titles like Genshin Impact.
The charging speed is relatively slow, taking around 2 hours to fully charge from 0 to 100% through 25W wireless charging.
There's no charger included in the box.
The phone can get warm after prolonged gaming sessions.
The camera system may not be as strong as some other phones at this price point.

OnePlus Ace

The OnePlus Ace 3 has finally arrived, and it's clear that the brand isn't resting on its laurels in the mid-range segment. With the same processor as its predecessor, but some notable upgrades, this phone promises to deliver a top-notch gaming experience. The camera setup, however, is where things get interesting - or rather, unchanged from previous models. And with rumors of an improved battery life, can the Ace 3 truly live up to its name? Let's dive in and find out!

Samsung Galaxy M35

The Samsung Galaxy M35 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers impressive performance, camera capabilities, and battery life, making it a solid choice for those looking for a Samsung phone under 20,000 rupees. Under the hood, the phone is powered by the Exynos 1380 chip, which was surprisingly effective in handling demanding tasks like gaming. The M35 handled games like BGMI, Call of Duty Mobile, and Genshin Impact with minimal lag, even after extended periods of playtime. However, it did struggle to maintain high frame rates in Genshin Impact, especially on high settings. The camera setup features three cameras, including a 50MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. While the photos taken by the main camera were decent with good detail and natural colors, they looked somewhat soft. The ultra-wide camera performed well in matching the color of the main camera, but portrait mode was not its strong point. The phone's battery life is where it truly shines, lasting a day and a half on regular use, even with heavy usage like gaming. However, charging was slower than expected, taking around 2 hours to fully charge from 0 to 100%. The Galaxy M35 also features a punch-hole display, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and surprisingly good sound quality courtesy of the dual speakers. The display itself is bright and smooth, reaching up to 1,000 nits, and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M35 offers great value for its price, with impressive performance, camera capabilities, and battery life making it a solid choice for those in the market for a budget-friendly smartphone.
