vivo V40 SE

The Vivo V40 SE is a mid-range smartphone that offers decent performance at an affordable price point of around €300. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor with eight cores, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. It also features a large 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The camera setup consists of a triple-camera arrangement with a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro lens. While the camera performance is average for its price range, it does offer some features like Pro mode for capturing photos in raw format. Battery life is one of the highlights of this device, with a large 5,000mAh battery providing good juice for heavy users. The phone also runs smoothly on daily tasks and games like Call of Duty Mobile, although minor stuttering or slowdown may occur at times. While the Vivo V40 SE offers some positive aspects, it falls short in terms of camera performance and processor power, which is expected from a device in its price range. Overall, this phone is an acceptable option for those looking for a budget-friendly smartphone with good RAM, storage, battery life, and display quality.

Xiaomi Redmi 10

The Xiaomi Redmi 10 is a budget phone that offers a range of desirable features at an affordable price. While it may not have all the bells and whistles, it's a solid upgrade over its predecessor, the Redmi 9. One of the notable improvements is the design, which now features a smooth plastic finish on the back and frame, rather than the textured one found on the Redmi 9. The screen has also been upgraded to a 6.5-inch IPS LCD with a 1080p resolution and a fast 90Hz refresh rate. The phone's performance is adequate for everyday tasks, but it falls short in terms of gaming capabilities. The battery life is decent, lasting up to 127 hours in our tests, although the charging speed is somewhat slow. The camera setup has been improved with a new main cam featuring a 50MP quad-camera sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, as well as a macro camera and depth sensor. However, while the daytime shots are good, the colors are not realistic, and there's poor contrast and dynamic range. The night mode feature is a welcome addition, providing significant improvement in sharpness, fine detail, and overall picture quality. Overall, the Redmi 10 is a solid budget phone that offers a lot of value for its price. While it may have some shortcomings, such as a mediocre chipset and slow charging, it's still worth considering if you're in the market for a budget device.
