vivo V23e 5G

The Vivo V23e 5G is a mid-range phone that boasts an impressive 44-megapixel selfie camera. The design of the phone is sleek and premium, with a thin and lightweight build that feels great in the hand. The AMOLED 6.44-inch screen gets very bright, but has noticeable bezels around the sides and bottom. The phone's triple-camera setup includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. However, the front-facing camera is the real star of the show, with its 44 megapixels and AI autofocus. While it produces sharp photos, the colors can be somewhat muted, lacking vibrance. Photos taken with the primary camera also suffer from similar issues, with washed-out colors and a lack of detail. The phone's HDR capabilities help to some extent, but the overall performance is underwhelming considering its price point. Video capture is limited to 1080p at 60fps, which may not be enough for some users. The phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chip, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It comes with a 4050mAh battery and 44W fast charger, but its performance is somewhat average in our benchmarks. The Vivo V23e 5G retails for 1599 ringgit, making it a hard sell based on specs alone. Overall, the phone has some nice features, but it falls short of expectations in several areas.

realme C30

The Realme C30 is back with its budget-friendly charm. Priced between ₹8,000-₹10,000, this phone packs quite a punch. With the Unisoc T612 chipset and a 6.5-inch display, it's an attractive option for those seeking a no-frills smartphone experience. The design is slim, battery life promises two days of use, and the camera setup is adequate for casual snappers. But how well does it perform in real-world scenarios? This review delves into the details to find out if the Realme C30 is worth your consideration.
