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The charger is not included with the purchase which can be seen as outdated considering current standards.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.

Samsung Galaxy A04

The Samsung Galaxy A04 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers a large display, good battery life, and decent performance. The device features a 5,000mAh battery, which should last for a full day or even multiple days with moderate use. Unfortunately, the phone does not support 5G connectivity, limiting it to 4G LTE speeds. One of the standout features of the A04 is its display, which is only 720p but still looks crisp and clear on its large canvas. The device also gets very loud, making it suitable for watching videos or listening to music. However, the phone's performance is a major letdown, with slow processing speeds that make everyday tasks feel sluggish. The A04 also lacks features like NFC, which means users cannot take advantage of mobile contactless payments. The phone's build quality feels surprisingly premium, considering its low-end status. However, it does pick up fingerprints easily due to its glossy back. The device is made entirely of plastic, except for the glass display. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A04 may not be the most exciting or powerful smartphone on the market, but it could be a viable option for those who want a budget-friendly phone with a large display and good battery life. Its slow performance and lack of features are significant drawbacks, but its price point might make it an attractive choice for some users.
