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.

Xiaomi Redmi 9T

The Xiaomi Redmi 9T is an entry-level phone that shares many similarities with its counterpart, the Poco M3. However, there are some notable differences that set it apart. The design, for instance, boasts a glossy metallic finish and a splash-proof build, making it a great option for those who want peace of mind. The device also features NFC support, which is not available on the Poco M3. Under the hood, the Redmi 9T sports a Snapdragon 662 chipset, which provides decent performance but falls short in GPU-intensive tasks. This is likely due to the phone's 1080p display, which can be demanding on the processor. Despite this, the device manages to deliver excellent battery life, with our proprietary tests yielding an impressive 150 hours of usage. The cameras on the Redmi 9T are a mixed bag. The 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera is a welcome addition, but its photos lack detail and sharpness. The main camera takes good photos during the day, but struggles in low light conditions. Night mode does improve the quality, but it's still not up to par with other phones in this price range. In conclusion, the Xiaomi Redmi 9T offers a great balance of features for its price. While it may not excel in every department, it makes up for it with its splash-proof build, NFC support, and excellent battery life. For those looking for an entry-level phone that ticks all the right boxes, the Redmi 9T is definitely worth considering.
