Pros and Cons

realme Narzo 50i Prime

Strengths

The phone has a relatively low price of around 90 euros, making it one of the cheapest phones available.
The display is a good size at 6.5 inches and resolution of 720 by 1600 with average brightness of about 400 nits
The battery is a decent size at 5000 milliamp hour and should last for a fairly long time despite being powered by a low-performance chip.
There's a dual sim slot along with an sd expansion slot, allowing users to expand the storage further which is really nice for any phone regardless of price range
The fingerprint sensor, NFC, and other basic features are included, making it a fully functional phone without unnecessary frills
For its price, it's not a bad deal at all, and some devices may even work worse than this but cost more

Weaknesses

The charger is not included with the purchase which can be seen as outdated considering current standards.
It doesn't have 5G support or Wi-Fi 5 GHz support
The design of the phone is very similar to other Realme models, such as the Realme C30, but costs a bit more despite being essentially the same phone in every way
It only has a single 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel front camera which may not be ideal for some users
The processor is not the fastest and may cause performance issues with demanding tasks or apps
Some older features, such as micro USB, are still included, which might be seen as unnecessary in modern smartphones

realme Narzo 50i Prime

The Realme Narzo 50i Prime is one of the most budget-friendly options available in the market, priced around 90 euros. This phone packs a 6.5-inch display, a single 8MP camera, and a 5000mAh battery. Powered by a Unisoc Tiger T612 processor, it's available with either 3GB or 4GB of RAM, depending on your needs. I'll be reviewing this device to see if its affordability comes at the cost of performance and features.

Google Pixel 3

The Google Pixel 3 is a well-designed smartphone with a much better screen than its predecessor. The device boasts a single 12-megapixel camera on the back, which may seem outdated compared to the triple-camera setup found in many other smartphones. However, Google's machine learning capabilities shine through in the camera department, producing excellent results. Daylight shots are detailed and well-exposed, while portraits taken with the phone's camera mode are remarkable for a single-camera setup. The new Night Sight mode uses multiple images to produce better exposure and color accuracy, although it's not yet available to the public. Low-light photos have plenty of detail and well-preserved colors. The front-facing camera has been upgraded with an additional lens offering a wider angle. 8-megapixel selfies are sharp and detailed, although portraits taken with this camera may show slightly more visible flaws. However, the Pixel 3 is not without its compromises. Battery life is below par, and the phone can experience heat throttling during intense usage. The new navigation system, while intuitive once mastered, takes some getting used to and can be frustrating at times. Despite these issues, the Google Pixel 3 remains a top contender in the Android market. Its camera capabilities make it a standout, and users will enjoy timely software updates. If you're looking for an Android smartphone with exceptional camera performance, the Pixel 3 is worth considering – just be sure to invest in an external battery pack.
