realme C25Y

The Realme C25Y is a budget smartphone that boasts a 50-megapixel primary camera, which is a notable feature in its price range. The device's design is similar to previous C-series models, with a textured finish and a physical fingerprint sensor on the back. However, the screen resolution is only 720p, which may be disappointing for some users. The phone's camera quality is impressive, especially in bright lighting conditions. Details are sharp, colors look natural, and dynamic range is acceptable. The primary camera takes decent images, while the macro and black-and-white cameras work poorly. The selfie shooter produces good images considering its price point. However, the device's performance is let down by an entry-level Unisoc T610 chipset, which is a below-average processor for Realme. This chipset is not as powerful as those found in other budget smartphones from the brand. The phone offers 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, although this can be expanded with a microSD card. The battery life is a redeeming feature, with up to two days of use on a single charge, and fast charging that can top up the device in under an hour and a half. The phone runs on Android 11.0 with Realme's UI, but the display resolution could have been better. Overall, the Realme C25Y is a decent option for those looking for a budget smartphone with good camera quality and long battery life. However, its performance is hindered by an underpowered chipset, and the price point may be confusing due to these limitations.

Ulefone Armor 15

The Ulefone Armor 15 is a rugged smartphone that boasts impressive features at an affordable price. The device's design is unique, with two rubber flaps on top that conceal built-in wireless earbuds. These earbuds connect to the phone and can be used for hands-free calls, music streaming, and more. They are always charged and stored within the phone, eliminating the need for a separate charging case. The Armor 15 has a 5.45-inch IPS screen with a 720p resolution, which is decent but not exceptional. The device's performance is powered by the Mediatek G35 CPU, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. While it's capable of running most applications, it's not the fastest phone on the market, with an Antutu score of around 130,000. The camera setup includes a main camera, ultra-wide camera, and selfie camera, but don't expect high-quality images from these cameras. The phone also features an NFC chip for contactless payments and a GPS unit that takes a few seconds to find your location. While the Armor 15 has some impressive features, such as its wireless earbuds and speakers, it's not the fastest or most powerful smartphone out there. However, considering its affordable price, it's hard to criticize it too harshly. Overall, the Ulefone Armor 15 is a solid choice for those looking for a rugged phone with unique features at an budget-friendly price.
