realme Narzo 50

The Realme Narzo 50 is the latest addition to Realme's affordable gaming device series. Priced starting from RM599, this smartphone offers impressive specs at an affordable price point. One of the standout features of the Narzo 50 is its display - a high-resolution LCD screen with fast refresh rate, making it ideal for gamers and media enthusiasts. The phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio G96 processor, which provides smooth performance in day-to-day use and gaming sessions. The camera department boasts a 50MP primary sensor, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. While the camera takes decent shots during the day, it struggles with noise and low light conditions. However, night mode helps to brighten up dark scenes. In terms of performance, the Narzo 50 handles gaming sessions well, although intense games may require lower graphics settings for optimal performance. The phone's battery life is also commendable, lasting a full day with moderate usage. With a 5,000mAh battery and 33W fast charging support, the Narzo 50 offers great value for its price. Its expandable storage up to 11GB RAM and microSD card slot add to its appeal. Overall, the Realme Narzo 50 is an excellent choice for those seeking a budget-friendly smartphone with impressive specs and performance.

Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro

The Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro is a rugged phone designed to withstand harsh environments. While it achieves its water-resistant goal, its shockproof claims are questionable due to the glass-covered screen. Dropping this phone could result in a broken screen, as I experienced with previous rugged phones. A 10,000mAh battery powers the device, paired with a low-power MediaTek Helio G85 CPU. This setup yields over 15 hours of screen time on a single charge. Charging is fast, with support for 18W wired and 15W wireless charging. The phone's design features rubberized plastic corners, metal sides, and a back made from a combination of plastic and rubber. While it doesn't win any beauty awards, it's sturdy enough to withstand drops. Other notable features include a 3.5mm audio jack, customizable button, USB-C port, and a single speaker with mediocre sound quality. The fingerprint scanner on the power button works reasonably well but is slow. The phone boasts a 6.52-inch IPS screen with 720p resolution, which feels outdated in 2022. Outdoor use reveals low brightness levels making it difficult to view content in direct sunlight. Camera performance is average, with two cameras (one for portrait mode) and maximum recording resolution of 1080p. Image stabilization is absent. Performance-wise, the phone is not a powerhouse, scoring around 260K on Antutu benchmarks. Most applications run smoothly, but gaming is limited to casual experiences. The Ulefone Power Armor 14 Pro is an average device that excels at battery life but falls short in performance and camera capabilities.
