Strengths

The device offers a flagship experience with a Snapdragon Triple 8 processor at an affordable price of Rs. 34,000.
It has optical image stabilization (OIS) in the camera, which is a great feature to have.
The phone's performance is fluid and lag-free, making it suitable for gaming and other resource-intensive tasks.
The fast charging capability of 66 watts is impressive and can quickly top up the battery.

Weaknesses

It has a bright AMOLED display
The battery is quite massive and will last for a long time, even with heavy usage
You can make 4K 30fps videos with this phone, which is impressive at its price point

There's a durability concern with the Realme 9 SE, but it's also available with a similar spec and price point

vivo iQOO 9 SE

The Vivo IQOO 9 SE is a formidable smartphone that packs a punch despite its price. With the Snapdragon Triple-A processor, UFS 3.1 storage, and up to 8+128GB configuration, this device breezes through benchmarks and offers seamless performance. Gaming experiences are taken to the next level with titles like Call of Duty and BGMI running smoothly at high settings. The phone's camera is another highlight, featuring OIS and a decent set of lenses that capture good images. However, battery life is somewhat disappointing, given its capacity of 4500mAh. Fast charging is a redeeming feature, allowing for quick top-ups even with minimal usage. Software-wise, the Vivo IQOO 9 SE runs on FunTouch OS 12 based on Android 12, offering an optimized experience that's close to stock. While some might find the default launcher lacking in certain features like swiping navigation gestures when using third-party launchers, overall, the software experience is commendable. Priced at ₹34,000 for the base variant, this device competes directly with the Realme GT Neo 2 and MI 11X, making it an attractive option. The IQOO 9 SE's price is a steal considering its impressive specs, OIS camera, and fluid performance. For those seeking a high-performance smartphone without breaking the bank, the Vivo IQOO 9 SE is a solid choice. While it may have some minor drawbacks, such as a mediocre battery life, the overall package makes it an excellent value-for-money proposition. In conclusion, the Vivo IQOO 9 SE is a commendable device that checks many boxes for users looking for a top-notch smartphone experience without shelling out more than ₹35,000. Its impressive performance, solid camera, and fast charging capabilities make it an attractive option in its price segment.

Samsung Galaxy F34 5G

The Samsung Galaxy F34 5G is an intriguing smartphone that checks many boxes for casual users. Its AMOLED display shines bright, while its massive 6000mAh battery promises extended usage times.
