realme C65

The Realme C65 is an intriguing entry-level device that packs a punch despite its budget-friendly price tag. With a Mediatech Helio G85 chipset and 5,000mAh battery, it promises to deliver decent performance and all-day battery life. The phone's design, while not groundbreaking, is still visually appealing. Features like Smart sensing, AI Boost, and Writing mode add a layer of convenience to the user experience. But can this device truly excel in its intended role as a reliable daily driver? Let's dive deeper into our review to find out.

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.
