realme GT5 Pro

The Realme GT5 Pro boasts a stunning design with a beautiful screen that's perfect for gaming. The 144Hz refresh rate offers a smooth experience, rivaling flagship devices at twice the price. This smartphone is equipped with impressive specs, including a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and high-quality speakers. Its camera capabilities are also noteworthy, with features like street mode, macro quality, and HDR video recording. Let's dive into this review to see if it can deliver on its promises.

Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro

Despite its impressive specs on paper, the Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro failed to deliver in various aspects. The phone's camera was a major letdown, struggling with low-light photography and often overexposing images. Even using a GCAM port didn't improve the results significantly. Daytime photos were excellent, but that's not enough to redeem the camera's shortcomings. The 100-megapixel sensor, touted as a highlight of the phone, seemed to be hampered by software issues rather than hardware limitations. The battery life was average, with around 7-8 hours of screen time in everyday use. However, gaming performance was excellent, with smooth gameplay and long battery life (4-5 hours). The speakers were also impressive, making this a great phone for gaming enthusiasts. However, the camera's poor performance makes it hard to recommend this phone, especially when considering its high price point. For the same money, you can get better cameras on older Xiaomi phones or even last year's OnePlus 9 Pro. If your primary concern is gaming, then the Redmi K50 Pro might be a good choice. The display, battery life, and speakers all performed well in this regard. However, if photography is important to you, there are far better options available, making this phone a hard sell overall.
