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The charger is not included with the purchase which can be seen as outdated considering current standards.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 F12

The Samsung Galaxy F12 is a new budget smartphone that starts from ₹10,999. It boasts a unique textured back with a wave-like pattern, setting it apart from other smartphones in its price range. The device features a 6.5-inch HD+ 90Hz LCD display, which provides punchy colors and a sharp viewing experience. The rear camera setup consists of a 48MP primary sensor, 5MP ultra-wide sensor, 2MP depth sensor, and 2MP macro sensor, offering versatility in capturing various scenes. However, there's no video stabilization, and video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps. The phone runs on the Exynos 850 chipset with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, providing a smooth performance. It also features a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, USB Type-C port, and a headphone jack. The device ships with Android 11 and One UI Core 3.1, which is expected to receive updates for a longer period. The Galaxy F12's battery is a 6000mAh unit that should provide a long-lasting experience. However, it only supports 15W charging, which takes around three hours to fully charge the device. Despite this, the phone's pricing seems competitive, and Samsung has done a decent job of packing in features without breaking the bank. Overall, the Galaxy F12 appears to be another solid addition to Samsung's lineup of budget smartphones, offering a feature-rich experience at an affordable price point.
