vivo V25e

The Vivo V25e is a solid device that checks most of the right boxes for its price. It boasts a sleek design with a flat profile, glass on both display and rear, and a nice matte textured finish on the rear glass. The phone also features a triple camera setup with dual rings, a single bottom-firing mono speaker, and a 6.4-inch 1080p AMOLED display with a U-style notch. The Vivo V25e's display is vibrant and gets really bright up to 1300 nits, making it suitable for everyday use. The phone also features a fingerprint scanner on the display, which has been responsive and accurate most of the time. Software-wise, the device runs on Android 12 and Funtouch OS 12, with some nice customizations. The Mediatek Helio G99 processor powers this device, offering better battery optimization and higher CPU frequency compared to its predecessor. The phone also features 8GB of RAM, which can be extended by an additional 8GB via RAM Plus. While the V25e doesn't support 5G, it's a decent option for gaming, with smooth performance in high-graphics titles. The camera department has seen an upgrade, particularly on the main camera with the addition of OIS to its 64MP camera. However, there's no ultra-wide camera, and instead, we get a 2MP macro and depth sensor. The selfie camera is 32MP, taking good photos but sometimes requiring multiple shots due to overexposure. Overall, the Vivo V25e offers great value for its price, with impressive benchmark scores and decent gaming performance. While it may not be perfect, the phone's solid build quality, good display, and camera capabilities make it a strong contender in the mid-range market.

realme C75

The Realme C75 has generated significant buzz with its claims of being "unbreakable". At a lower price point, manufacturers often compromise on durability, but this phone seems to defy that trend. With a robust IP69 rating and the use of tougher materials, it's been put through some rigorous tests - including a 3-day underwater immersion and multiple drop tests from 1m and 1.5m heights. Does it truly live up to its promise?
