realme C61

Realme C61 delivers a vibrant display, powerful battery, and smooth performance in a budget-friendly design for everyday use.

Xiaomi Redmi A3

The Xiaomi Redmi A3 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers decent value for its price. The phone's design is modern with clean lines, but the camera bump may not appeal to everyone. The display is nice and the battery life is surprisingly good, lasting up to 3 days on a single charge. Performance-wise, the phone is suitable for casual users who only need it for basic tasks like calls, texts, browsing, and occasional social media use. It can handle some lighter games, but hardcore gaming enthusiasts may want to look elsewhere. The phone's RAM, storage, and processor are pretty basic, making it a no-frills champion. One of the notable improvements is the charging speed, which has been upgraded to 18W fast charging. This allows for faster charging times, making it convenient for users who prioritize battery life. Overall, the Redmi A3 is worth considering if you're on a tight budget and only need a phone for the essentials. However, it's not a powerhouse device that can handle demanding tasks or high-performance games. In summary, this phone gets the job done, but doesn't excel in any particular area. It earns a 6 out of 10 rating, making it a decent value play for those who don't need much from their smartphone.
