The Realme Narzo 50i is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers decent performance and features at an affordable price point. Design-wise, it has a polycarbonate back with a textured pattern design that's not too smudge-prone but can attract dirt on oily hands. The camera module is sleek, and the phone lacks a fingerprint scanner. The display is a 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen with a 720p resolution, which is good for indoor use but not ideal for outdoor visibility. It also has a single rear camera, an 8MP shooter that can produce sharp images but struggles in low-light conditions. The front camera is a 5MP sensor that takes decent selfies with vibrant colors. Performance-wise, the phone runs on a UniSOC SC9838 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage, making multitasking and heavy gaming challenging. It also has a large 5000mAh battery that can last up to two days on moderate use, but charging it takes around 2-3 hours. The phone comes with Android 11 skinned with Realme UI Go Edition, which is simpler and easier to navigate than the standard Realme UI. Connectivity options include dual-SIM, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and screencast. Priced at around PHP 6,290, the Narzo 50i offers a good balance of performance, features, and price. However, it faces stiff competition from other budget smartphones that offer better performance and cameras for similar prices.
The Ulefone Note 12 is a basic smartphone that excels in providing a good camera experience, decent battery life, and standard features. The phone has a large screen for enjoying videos and pictures, a 13MP main camera, and an additional 2MP depth sensor, which takes great snapshots. The battery life is impressive with up to seven hours of continuous video playback. The Note 12 also features a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth connectivity, airplane mode, long screenshot, flashlights, and auto rotate, making it a standard smartphone in terms of features. However, the phone's design may not be for everyone due to its heavy weight, which might make it uncomfortable to carry. While the Note 12 is not the most techy or feature-rich smartphone on the market, it makes up for it with its good camera quality and impressive battery life. The phone's durability remains to be seen after prolonged use, but it shows promise as a budget-friendly option for those seeking a basic yet functional smartphone experience. In terms of design, the Ulefone Note 12 has three cameras on the back and a decent build quality. However, its weight may be a drawback for some users who prefer lighter smartphones. Overall, the Note 12 is a solid choice for those looking for a budget-friendly option with good camera capabilities and decent battery life. This phone's biggest selling point lies in its ability to provide all the basic features one would expect from a smartphone while also boasting an impressive battery life.
