Pros and Cons

realme C61

Strengths

It has a fantastic display with higher resolution, refresh rate, and brightness
The battery life is very good with 5,000 milliamps capacity
It comes with fast charging (33 w) despite not including a charger in the box
The processor is a Mediatech G70300, which is comparable to Flagship-grade processors from a couple years back
It has expendable storage up to 2 TB
The camera can record at 4K 30 and 1080p 30

Weaknesses

It's overpriced for what it offers, especially compared to the CMF phone
It comes with a lower-end processor than some mid-range phones on the market
The build quality is made of plastic all around, which might not be as premium as other devices
It doesn't come with a charger in the box, despite fast charging capability
The fake camera at the back is a major minus for me
The device feels like a mid-range phone with a higher price tag

ZTE Blade A34

Strengths

The battery actually should last you a pretty decent time most likely longer than most other Android devices...
This is right now as the best as you can experience this device... with freshly set up, so it's running best right now...
The processor it's most likely going to last a decent amount of time... an octacore processor this is the a55...
If put some stuff on it applications it will slow down it will run crappier... but this is right now as the best as you can experience this device...
This should be a pretty decent battery life anyway for devices that come out nowadays...

Weaknesses

It's painfully slow so when you open up applications it just takes them a decent while to load up...
The device is freshly set up, so it's running best right now... but if put some stuff on it applications it will slow down it will run crappier...
This won't be a pleasant thing to use so anyway with that being said hopefully you found this video helpful...
You can see it's painfully see it's painfully slow so when you open up applications it just takes them a decent while to load up...
The device itself is crap but boy if I would ever get lost in a Wilderness this device would literally last me up to a month the battery there was absolutely insane for a device with a touchcreen...
