Pros and Cons

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

Strengths

Unique foldable design
Flagship chipset and solid camera setup
Improved durability and water resistance
Stylus support and hidden selfie cam

Weaknesses

Design compromise with the hinge
Thermal issues and battery life concerns
Charging speed could be faster

realme 14 Pro

Strengths

The color changing design is quite interesting, even if it's a gimmick over time. It feels much better than last year's Real Mi 13 Pro Plus or Xiaomi's Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus for that matter.
It has a solid premium and robust design, military standard A10 Edge compliant, shock resistant, and has all kinds of IP ratings like IP66, IP68, and ip69, which is a first in Realme's mid-range phone.
The display on this thing is nice too, with good color reproduction, touch response, and everything else. It has high PWM dimming, 120Hz refresh rate, works well, and the higher 1.5k resolution makes everything look sharp and RIS.
It also has a huge 6,000 mAh battery that easily gets over eight hours of screen on time with this phone, so 1.5 days of battery life plus it charges pretty fast like within 55 minutes with its 8wat charger.
The camera performance is decent, with good color reproduction and sharpness in images. The primary lens does a fantastic job during nighttime too, with nice details and exposure management.

Weaknesses

It's not the most balanced mid-range phone mainly because of its average performance and a lack of a good Ultra wide lens.
The ultra-wide camera has an average resolution (8 megapixel) that results in average ultra-wide angle images during daytime as well as night, and you cannot shoot 4K videos with it.
You have to settle for 1080p video recording when switching from the primary camera to the ultra-wide camera.
The Snapdragon 7s gen 3 chipset doesn't support 4K 60 FPS recording, so the max you can shoot from the main and front camera is 4K 30 FPS with quality issues like movement wble.
It's not perfect for every aspect, it has some flaws like average performance, ultra-wide lens issues and lack of better chipset which could have made it a king among mid-range phones.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is a unique foldable phone that offers a large AMOLED screen tucked inside its compact design. The device boasts a flagship chipset, great stereo speakers, and a solid set of cameras. Since last year's model, there have been significant improvements to durability, water resistance, and screen brightness. The phone's dual screens feature fast refresh rates, making for seamless transitions between them. Stylus support is also a welcome addition, allowing users to interact with the device in new ways. The hidden selfie camera is an interesting innovation that adds a touch of elegance to the design. In terms of performance, the Z Fold3 is powered by a flagship chipset, but thermals can be a concern during intense use. Battery life is nothing special, and charging speed is relatively slow compared to other flagships. Camera-wise, the Z Fold3's main camera produces excellent shots in good lighting conditions, with great detail and color accuracy. The telephoto lens also performs well, especially when using night mode. However, the ultra-wide camera can be soft at times, and low-light performance is a mixed bag. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is the most advanced foldable phone on the market today. While it has some drawbacks compared to other flagships, its unique design, feature set, and solid cameras make it worth considering for those who value innovation and exclusivity.

realme 14 Pro

The Realme 14 Pro Plus is a color-changing smartphone that's hard to ignore. With its unique thermochromic design, this device promises a good overall package under ₹30,000. While it boasts impressive specs like a high-refresh-rate display and a triple-camera setup, there are some compromises to be made. Performance might not be the strong suit of this phone, but its camera capabilities are noteworthy, especially for portrait shots. Let's dive into the pros and cons of this device.
