realme C55

The Realme C55 is a budget-friendly smartphone that's making waves with its Dynamic Island feature, a notch-style cutout turned into a usable interface. This mid-ranger boasts a higher-res display, updated chipset, and improved main camera compared to its predecessor. With a large 5000mAh battery, 90Hz refresh rate, and decent performance, it's an attractive option for those seeking a capable phone on a low budget. But does it live up to the hype?

Samsung Galaxy A04

The Samsung Galaxy A04 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers a large display, good battery life, and decent performance. The device features a 5,000mAh battery, which should last for a full day or even multiple days with moderate use. Unfortunately, the phone does not support 5G connectivity, limiting it to 4G LTE speeds. One of the standout features of the A04 is its display, which is only 720p but still looks crisp and clear on its large canvas. The device also gets very loud, making it suitable for watching videos or listening to music. However, the phone's performance is a major letdown, with slow processing speeds that make everyday tasks feel sluggish. The A04 also lacks features like NFC, which means users cannot take advantage of mobile contactless payments. The phone's build quality feels surprisingly premium, considering its low-end status. However, it does pick up fingerprints easily due to its glossy back. The device is made entirely of plastic, except for the glass display. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A04 may not be the most exciting or powerful smartphone on the market, but it could be a viable option for those who want a budget-friendly phone with a large display and good battery life. Its slow performance and lack of features are significant drawbacks, but its price point might make it an attractive choice for some users.
