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The charger is not included with the purchase which can be seen as outdated considering current standards.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 A04e

The Samsung Galaxy A04e is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers decent performance and features at an affordable price. The device is made of plastic, except for the glass display, which is typical of its segment. However, I appreciate the unique wavy design on the back, which makes up for the glossy finish. Under the hood, the phone is powered by a Mediatek Helio P35 processor and 3GB of RAM. While it's not the most powerful combination, it should handle basic tasks like phone calls, text messages, watching videos, and occasional social media use without any issues. However, heavy users may experience some slowdowns. The camera department is another highlight of this device. It features a dual-camera setup with additional modes like Pro mode, Panorama, food mode, and hyperlapse. While not the most advanced cameras, they're decent for their price point. Other notable features include a 5,000mAh battery, which should provide generous battery life, Android 12 with Samsung's skin laid over, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Unfortunately, it lacks NFC, making mobile contactless payments impossible. In terms of hardware, the phone is relatively low-end, but its price point makes up for that. If you're looking for a reliable device from a reputable brand without breaking the bank, the Samsung Galaxy A04e might be worth considering.
