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.

realme 9

The Realme 9 4G is a mid-range smartphone that boasts impressive features for its price point. With a 6.4-inch full HD+ AMOLED display and a fast refresh rate, this phone promises smooth visuals and responsive touch interactions. Powered by the Snapdragon 680 chipset, it delivers decent gaming performance. The camera setup, featuring a 64MP primary sensor and 16MP selfie camera, is also notable. We'll be putting this device through its paces to see if it lives up to its promise of being an affordable yet capable smartphone.
