Ulefone Note 11p

The Ulefone Note 11P is a budget smartphone that promises to deliver good performance and features at an affordable price of around $180. After using it for two weeks, I have mixed feelings about this device. On the positive side, the phone has a decent design despite being made of cheap plastic. It also features a 3.5mm audio jack, which is useful for those who still use wired earbuds. The triple card slot allows you to insert dual SIM and a micro SD memory card simultaneously, which is a convenient feature. The Ulefone Note 11P has impressive specifications, including the Helio P60 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. However, I found that the 8GB of RAM is more of a marketing gimmick than an actual performance booster. The phone's performance was smooth, but benchmark results were comparable to those of devices with lower RAM configurations. The camera setup is another highlight of this device, particularly the 48MP primary sensor and ultra-wide-angle camera. However, the bokeh camera was disappointing, producing subpar portrait mode shots. Battery life was average, but charging time was excessively long at around 3 hours for a full charge. Overall, I would not recommend the Ulefone Note 11P over other budget smartphones like the Redmi Note 10 or its 5G variant, which offer better performance, display, and battery life at similar prices. The next smartphone from Ulefone needs to address these issues if they want to compete in this crowded market.

vivo Y15a

The Vivo Y15a is a budget phone released in November 2021, still available in the market. This review provides an impression of the device, highlighting its features and performance. The phone's design is sleek and modern, with a matte finish that resists fingerprints. It comes in two color options: wave green and mystic blue. The phone has a water drop notch display with a 720p resolution, which is acceptable for budget phones but not as sharp or colorful as higher-end devices. Performance-wise, the Vivo Y15a runs on an old Mediatek Helio P25 chip with 4GB of RAM, making it suitable for basic tasks like browsing and social media scrolling. However, gaming performance may be compromised, especially for demanding games like Call of Duty Mobile. The phone's battery life is strong, with a 5000mAh capacity that can last more than a day on light usage. The camera setup includes a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor, while the front camera has an 8MP resolution. Video recording capabilities are capped at 1080p for both rear and front cameras. The phone runs on FunTouch OS based on Android 12, but lacks customization options compared to higher-end devices. The Vivo Y15a has only one configuration: 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, priced at 7999 pesos. In comparison, the Y15s model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is available for 619 pesos. Overall, the Vivo Y15a offers decent performance and battery life but may not be suitable for demanding users or gamers due to its old processor and limited camera capabilities.
