Pros and Cons

realme 9i 5G

Strengths

The Realme 9i 5G brings a lot of features to the table for its price.
It has a Sleek design with a glossy polycarbonate back that reflects light in an almost metallic way, giving it a premium feel despite being a budget-friendly device.
The phone's 6.6-inch Full HD Plus display features a resolution of 2,480 by 1,080 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and transitions.
It has a powerful Mediatek Dimensity 810 chipset that ensures the phone can handle everyday tasks with ease from multitasking to gaming.
The camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, two MP portrait lens, and a 2MP macro lens for close-up shots, delivering detailed and sharp photos in good lighting conditions.
It has a massive 5000mAh battery that will easily get you through a full day of usage, making it perfect for streaming, gaming, or just browsing the internet.
The phone supports fast charging with an 18W charger, which can charge the phone from 0 to 100% in about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Weaknesses

It's not the fastest charging on the market.
The display is not an AMOLED panel, but it still offers good brightness levels at around 400 nits making it visible outdoors and sunlight.
There's no mention of any exciting color options beyond 'Metallica Gold' and 'Rocking Black'.
It only has two RAM options (4GB and 6GB) paired with either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, which might be a bit limiting for heavy users.
The front camera is an 8MP selfie camera with eye beautification features, but it's not mentioned if it has any other exciting features.
It only supports 1080p recording at 30 FPS on the rear camera, which is decent for casual videography.
There's no mention of any IP rating or water resistance, making it less durable in case of accidental splashes or submersion.

realme 9i 5G

The Realme 9i 5G is making waves in the budget 5G smartphone market with its sleek design, smooth performance, and impressive features. This phone boasts a minimalist look with a glossy polycarbonate back, a 6.6-inch full HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate, and a triple-camera setup that delivers sharp photos and decent video recording capabilities. Powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 810 chipset, this device offers seamless performance and efficient battery life. With its competitive price starting at around $190, the Realme 9i 5G is an attractive option for those seeking an affordable 5G smartphone with great value for money.

Ulefone Power Armor 13

The Ulefone Power Armor 13 is a behemoth of a phone, weighing in at an astonishing 492 grams, making it the largest and heaviest device I've ever had the pleasure of trying. While its size may be intimidating, this rugged phone packs a punch with its impressive feature set. Under the hood, you'll find the Mediatek Helio G95 processor paired with 8GB of RAM, delivering snappy performance that's more than capable of handling demanding tasks and games. The phone runs Android 11 out of the box, with a light launcher that feels remarkably close to stock Android. I was impressed by how fast it opens apps, switches between them, and even handles graphics-intensive games like Call of Duty. The display is another highlight, offering a larger screen than most rugged phones, making it perfect for those who need a device that can keep up with their active lifestyle. The battery life is equally impressive, providing days of use without needing to be plugged in. While the cameras are decent, they're not exactly setting any standards. In good light conditions, images are passable, but as soon as you venture into low-light situations, things start to degrade quickly. Video recording maxes out at 4K at 30fps, but lacks stabilization, resulting in shaky footage. The Ulefone Power Armor 13 is a solid choice for those seeking a rugged phone that can keep up with their active lifestyle. Its impressive battery life, larger screen, and robust feature set make it stand out from the competition. However, its massive size and weight may be a turn-off for some users, making it more suited to those who prioritize functionality over form. Overall, I'd say the Ulefone Power Armor 13 is a step up from other rugged phones on the market, but its size and weight may limit its appeal to some. If you're in the market for a reliable and feature-packed phone that can withstand the rigors of daily use, this device is definitely worth considering.
