The front-facing flash is a great help when taking selfies in low light conditions.

realme 13 Pro 5G

The Realme 13 Pro 5G, a device that promises to deliver premium features without the hefty price tag. Compared to its bigger brother, the Pro Plus 5G, this variant boasts a sleek design with a glass back and sandblasted finish. Equipped with a 6.7-inch Full HD+ display, 50MP triple camera setup, and fast charging capabilities, it seems to offer everything in between. With a powerful Snapdragon 7S Gen 2 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and Android 14 out of the box, this device is set to impress. Can it deliver on its promises?

Apple iPhone Xr

The Apple iPhone XR is the most affordable model in Apple's latest lineup, with a price that undercuts the higher-end options by $250. Despite being the cheapest option, the XR still offers impressive performance and features. One notable compromise made on the XR is its lower resolution display compared to other models. However, when considering the significant price difference, this is an easy trade-off for many users. The iPhone XR also boasts a comparable battery life to the 10S Max, making it a great option for those who want a reliable device without breaking the bank. The camera on the XR is surprisingly good, with excellent details and colors in both photos and videos. While it lacks a telephoto lens like the dual-camera setup found in other models, it can still take great portrait shots with a blurred background effect that's spot-on. The selfie camera is also impressive, taking very good selfies even in low-light conditions. Gesture controls on the iPhone XR are smooth and intuitive once you get used to them. While some users might find this transition challenging, it's worth giving it a try for those who want to experience iOS at its best. The iPhone XR has received criticism for being underwhelming compared to previous years' flagship models. However, this may be due to rising prices and changing consumer habits rather than any inherent flaws with the device itself. Ultimately, the Apple iPhone XR is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable and feature-packed smartphone without the hefty price tag associated with other iPhones. Its impressive performance, great camera, and smooth gesture controls make it well worth considering, especially for those who want to try out iOS or upgrade from an older iPhone model.
