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The charger is not included with the purchase which can be seen as outdated considering current standards.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

The camera has a main sensor of 13 megapixels with autofocus feature, suitable for shooting moving objects.

The screen protection is made of tempered glass, which gets less scratched than normal glass.
Android update of two years (up to Android 14) will be automatically updated.
The price is competitive at $90 US dollars.

Weaknesses

No fingerprint scanner is provided.
The screen resolution is only HD Plus with a low refresh rate of 60 Hz.

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 F04

The Samsung Galaxy F04 is the latest budget-friendly smartphone from the company's F-series, which is essentially a rebranded version of the Galaxy A04e. The phone boasts a stylish design with a glossy back panel, dual SIM tray on the left side, and a power button and volume rockers on the right side. The device features a 6.5-inch PLS LCD display with an HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate, which might make it less suitable for heavy graphics users. Under the hood, it's powered by a MediaTek Helio P35 chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The camera department includes a 13MP primary sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and autofocus, accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor for taking pictures of small objects. The phone also features a 5MP selfie camera with an f/2.5 aperture. In terms of performance, the Galaxy F04 scored around 213754 in benchmark tests, which is relatively average. The phone supports 4G connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11, and Bluetooth 5.0, along with a massive 5000mAh battery that can be charged quickly using a 15W fast charger. The phone's price is around $90 (USD) or ₹8,000 (Indian Rupees), making it an affordable option for budget-conscious buyers. Overall, the Galaxy F04 seems to be a decent offering from Samsung in this segment, but its performance and camera capabilities are nothing to write home about.
