vivo iQOO Z5

The Vivo iQOO Z5 is an intriguing device that packs a punch in its price segment. With a sleek design and impressive specs, this smartphone promises to deliver on both performance and features. The device boasts a large battery life, making it perfect for heavy users, and the camera setup seems to be a strong point, offering a 64MP primary sensor and a capable selfie snapper. I put this phone through its paces, and my initial impression is that it's a formidable contender in the budget flagship space.

Xiaomi Redmi K60

The Redmi K60 Ultra is a solid mid-range smartphone that offers a premium design, impressive display, and decent performance. While its design may not be as sleek as the OnePlus H2 Pro, it has a more refined look and feel. The phone's screen is top-notch, with high refresh rates, peak brightness, and PWM, making it ideal for gaming and video streaming. However, the K60 Ultra lags behind the H2 Pro in terms of performance, particularly during stress tests and gaming sessions. It overheats quickly, causing frame rates to drop significantly. While the phone's 120W fast charging is impressive, its lack of wireless charging is a drawback. The camera performance is decent, but not exceptional. The Leica-style color tones are a highlight, but photos can appear over-contrasted and underexposed at times. Video recording quality is good, but the ultra-wide angle camera has noticeable purple fringing issues. In terms of battery life, the K60 Ultra performs similarly to its competitors, lasting around 20 minutes on a full charge. The phone's speakers are average, lacking the sonic fidelity of the H2 Pro. Overall, the Redmi K60 Ultra is a solid mid-range offering that excels in display quality but falls short in performance and battery life compared to more expensive options like the OnePlus H2 Pro. It's worth considering for those seeking a budget-friendly smartphone with impressive visuals.
