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.

Xiaomi Redmi 13C

The Xiaomi Redmi 13C is an impressive smartphone that checks all the right boxes. Equipped with Android 13 and MIUI 14, this device offers a seamless interface for daily tasks, multitasking, and entertainment needs. A stunning 6.74-inch IPS LCD display brings visuals to life, while a 90Hz refresh rate ensures smooth performance. The Helio G85 chipset provides efficient multitasking capabilities, making it perfect for gaming sessions or everyday use. With a triple-camera system, expandable storage, and impressive design, the Redmi 13C is definitely worth considering for those seeking an affordable yet feature-packed smartphone experience.
