vivo T1x 4G

The Vivo T1x 4G is an entry-level smartphone designed for gaming. It boasts a Snapdragon 680 chipset with a 6nm architecture, touted as ideal for gaming. The device has a 6.58-inch IPS LCD display with full HD+ resolution and a 5,000mAh battery. It runs on Android 11 with Funtouch OS and features a 50MP triple camera setup. In our tests, the Vivo T1x performed well in four games: Mobile Legends, League of Legends, Call of Duty: Mobile, and Genshin Impact. While we encountered some minor issues with frame drops and stuttering in Genshin Impact at low settings, the device delivered stable performance in the other three games. With a 4GB RAM configuration, plus an additional 1GB shared RAM from onboard storage, the device managed to maintain smooth gameplay even in demanding scenarios. We observed no significant lag or issues during team fights and intense gaming sessions. Battery life was decent, lasting around 2 hours and 14 minutes of screen time with 74% battery left. Charging took under 2 hours and 10 minutes using the 18W fast charger. Despite some minor caveats, the Vivo T1x offers an impressive gaming package for its sub-9,000 PHP price tag. While a higher storage capacity would have been beneficial to accommodate more apps and games, the device still managed to deliver good performance in our tests. Overall, the Vivo T1x 4G is a solid entry-level smartphone that's worth considering for those seeking a capable gaming device without breaking the bank.

vivo Y21

The Vivo Y21 is a budget-friendly smartphone designed to compete in the upper budget segment. Priced at KSh 16,999, this device boasts an affordable tag while packing some impressive features. Design-wise, the phone has a sleek diamond glow texture that's sure to turn heads. The well-positioned volume buttons and USB-C port are also notable features. Vivo opted for a side-mounted fingerprint sensor instead of an in-display one, which works efficiently. The 6.51-inch Halo LCD display with 1600x720 pixels resolution is not high-refresh-rate enabled, but it still provides a pleasant multimedia experience. The phone's performance is backed by a Mediatek Helio P35 processor paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, expandable to 1GB. While the device handles light to medium tasks without any issues, gaming performance takes a hit. Playing graphic-intensive games like Call of Duty requires medium settings, which might deter some users. However, the phone's battery longevity is noteworthy. The 5000mAh battery delivers up to two days of use on a single charge, with charging speeds that top off from 0-70% in just 52 minutes using an 18W charger. The camera setup features three sensors - an 8MP selfie camera and a 13MP dual main camera with a 2MP macro sensor. While not the best camera performer, it's still a commendable feature set for its price bracket. Overall, the Vivo Y21 is a solid budget offering that's worth considering, especially given its excellent battery life, satisfactory performance, and value-for-money pricing.
