Pros and Cons

Ulefone Note 11p

Strengths

The smartphone has a 3.5 millimeters audio jack, which is useful for some users.
The three-card slot allows you to insert dual sim and a micro sd memory card at the same time, making it convenient to expand storage.
The device has very good specifications, including the Helio P60 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage.
The phone's performance is smooth, with most apps running well, and the user interface is fast.
The camera quality on Ulefone Note 11p is really good, with good photos and videos taken by both the main camera and ultra-wide angle camera.
The phone runs on the latest Android 11 operating system, which makes it a great option for those who want the latest software.
Despite being a budget smartphone, the device has a 48-megapixel quad-camera setup, which is not common in this price range.

Weaknesses

The design and build quality of Ulefone Note 11p are cheap and feel like a budget phone.
The phone's display has an HD+ resolution (720 x 1600 pixels), which is lower than expected for a 2021 smartphone.
8GB of RAM seems to have no effect on performance, as the device performs similarly to one with 4GB of RAM.
The bokeh camera struggles to take good pictures in portrait mode and looks like it's fake.
Battery life is average, not great but also not bad, but charging time is very long (almost 3 hours).
For the same price ($180), you can get a Redmi Note 10 with much better performance, full HD AMOLED display, and bigger battery with fast charging support.

ZTE Blade A53 Pro

Strengths

The phone comes with a screen protector, which is a nice surprise.
It has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, although some of it may be reserved for system use.
The device has a dual camera setup, even if the cameras are not impressive
The phone's price is relatively low at $150.
It comes with a SIM tool and a charger

Weaknesses

The packaging is cheap and flimsy.
The charging port is micro USB, which is outdated and a major inconvenience.
The cameras are not impressive, especially the 2MP sensor
The display has a low resolution of 720p and no high refresh rate
The processor is weak and not powerful enough to handle demanding tasks

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.

ZTE Blade A53 Pro

The ZTE Blade A53 Pro - a budget smartphone that falls short on several fronts. With a subpar display resolution, outdated micro USB charging port, and questionable camera setup, this device struggles to justify its $150 price tag. Add to that a weak processor, limited storage, and no NFC or 5G capabilities, and you're left with a phone that feels like a major compromise. Can it still be considered a budget option, or is it simply not worth the money?
