Pros and Cons

vivo iQOO 7

Strengths

The phone performs incredibly well, making it perfect for gamers who want smooth performance without any lag.
The beautiful 6.6-inch AMOLED display is a treat to look at, with HDR10 and 120Hz refresh rate adding to the visual experience.
The triple camera setup takes crisp pictures and has a lot of features, including a 48MP main camera and support for up to 4K video recording.
The phone's battery life may not be its strongest point, but the included huge wall charger makes it easy to top up when needed.
The design is stylish and sleek, with a beautiful blue, black, and red color scheme that turns heads.

Weaknesses

The battery size is relatively small (4000mAh), which means it may not last a full day if used heavily.
The speakers are not particularly loud, which can be a letdown for those who enjoy watching videos or listening to music on their phone.
Video stabilizer doesn't do the best job of stabilizing footage, which can result in shaky video.

Xiaomi Redmi note 12 Pro

Strengths

The phone's display is a 6.67 inch AMOLED with a 1080p resolution, a 120hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It's pretty much the same display as the Pro Plus but we measure the max brightness as a bit less here it's still great though - 490 nits for the manual slider which can boost to 890 nits in auto mode.
The performance of the phone is satisfying when it comes to both multitasking and gaming, with great thermal management.
The cameras are decent, with a 50 megapixel main cam that takes great photos for the class, and a good dynamic range.
The battery life is quite solid, with an endurance rating of 97 hours in our proprietary tests.
Fast charging is supported at up to 67 watts, which is still very fast.
It's considered way cheaper than the Pro Plus model.

Xiaomi Redmi note 12 Pro

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro is a solid mid-range smartphone that stands out from its counterparts with a more powerful chipset and stereo speakers. It features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The device also has a side-mounted fingerprint reader and comes with 128 or 256GB of storage, but lacks expandability. The Redmi Note 12 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chip, which provides improved CPU and GPU performance compared to last year's model. The device has a 5,000mAh battery that lasts up to 97 hours in our tests, although it only supports 67W charging, which is still relatively fast. The camera setup includes a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. While the 50MP camera may seem like a downgrade from last year's model, it produces great results with sufficient detail, low noise, high contrast, and punchy colors. The main camera can also record 4K videos at 30fps, which are impressive in terms of detail and color accuracy. In conclusion, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro is a well-rounded mid-range smartphone that offers good performance, a great display, and decent camera capabilities. While it may not be perfect, it's solid for its price and worth considering for those looking for an affordable option.
