Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G

vivo V25 Pro

The Vivo V25 Pro has been released with a strong focus on camera performance, but is it any good? The device comes with a lot included in the box, such as a see-through plastic case, power brick, USBC cable, headphones with a 3.5mm jack (although the phone doesn't use this), and a free adapter. The V25 Pro has a sleek design with a curved display, AMOLED screen, and 120Hz refresh rate. The camera performance is impressive, with a 64MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro camera. Photos come out nicely with good dynamic range, natural colors, and details, although noise creeps in above 5x zoom. The front-facing selfie camera is also impressive with a 32MP sensor and good night mode performance. However, portraits and selfies can suffer from an over-polished look on faces. The video quality is excellent, especially in low light conditions, thanks to OIS and processing. Performance-wise, the V25 Pro is smooth and fluid, thanks to its Mediatek Dimensity 1300 chip and 12GB of RAM (with an additional 8GB from storage). Battery life has held up well with a 4830mAh battery, but could be improved with more heavy use. The phone also comes with Android 12 and Funtouch OS 12. Pricing starts at around 1500 Dirhams for the V25 and 2200 Dirhams for the Pro model. Overall, the Vivo V25 Pro is a solid device with impressive camera performance, smooth performance, and good battery life.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G is a value-packed mid-ranger that offers a lot more than its 5G counterpart. With a larger battery, different screen and chipset, and expandable storage, this phone seems to cover all the basics quite well. However, it also has some notable differences and compromises compared to the 5G model, such as a lower IP rating and less sharp display. Is this the one to get for those on a budget? Our review will delve into its strengths and weaknesses.
