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.

Motorola Moto G40 Fusion

The Motorola Moto G40 Fusion's disassembly process is a complex procedure that requires precision and patience. To begin, the SIM card tray must be removed, followed by prying off the back housing with a plastic tool. Once loose, applying heat will help release the adhesive, allowing for easy removal of the fingerprint reader and back housing. This exposes various components, including the LED flash, camera lenses, battery cable, and more. The process is detailed and involved, requiring careful attention to each step to avoid damage.
