realme 9 Pro+

The Realme 9 Pro is the latest mid-ranger from the brand, serving as a successor to the Realme 8s 5G. It boasts a larger screen, bigger battery, and new chipset, but falls short in its camera setup compared to its sibling, the Realme 9 Pro+. Design-wise, the phone has an identical design to its predecessor with a distinctive camera island, available in Midnight Black or Sunrise Blue variants. The glossy back catches fingerprints easily, but the flat sides make it feel sharp along the edges. The display is a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is a step up from the 90Hz OLED panel on the Pro+. However, gaming performance was disappointing, stuck at 60Hz despite efforts to increase it. Battery life is excellent, lasting 134 hours on our tests, thanks to its 5000mAh capacity and 33W charger. The phone's new Snapdragon 695 5G chipset handles day-to-day tasks well but stumbles with games. The camera setup, although improved from the Realme 8s 5G, still disappoints in terms of color accuracy and noise levels, particularly in low-light conditions. Selfies are also underwhelming. Overall, the Realme 9 Pro is a solid mid-ranger with a great display, fast charging, and up-to-date software. While it may not be the best value on the market, it's still a recommended choice for those seeking a 5G-capable device.

Honor X7c

The Honor X7c is a budget smartphone that stands out in the market with its impressive design and durable build quality. Its Forest Green back panel has a matte finish that resembles leather, making it comfortable to hold and providing good grip. One of its key selling features is its IP64 rating, ensuring resistance to dust and water splashes on multiple angles. With an affordable price tag of 8,999 pesos, this device offers decent performance, cameras, and battery life, making it a solid entry-level option for those seeking value without sacrificing style.
