Ulefone Note 11p

vivo Y02s

The Vivo Y02s is an entry-level smartphone that boasts a 5000mAh battery, premium design, and construction at an affordable price. The phone comes with a USB-C cable, which is a nice addition, but lacks earphones. Design-wise, the Y02s looks like a premium phone, with a boxy shape, flat side panels, and a soft-touch material on the back. The phone's bezel has a ballroom rocker and power button on the right-hand side, a single bottom-firing speaker, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The camera system features a single rear 8MP camera with autofocus and a dual-camera setup, where the second lens is actually a flash disguise. The front camera fares better, producing sharp photos in indoor lighting. Performance-wise, the Y02s has decent performance for a budget phone, handling basic tasks like social media, watching videos, and switching between apps. However, it struggles with heavier apps, multitasking, and gaming, resulting in noticeable lags and slowdowns. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 5 days of standby time and 9 hours of screen-on time. The phone charges quickly using its stock charging brick, but takes almost three hours to reach full charge. Overall, the Vivo Y02s excels in design and battery departments but falls short on performance. It's a suitable option for those looking for an affordable phone that can handle social media, selfies, and basic tasks, but not much more.

Ulefone Note 11p

The Ulefone Note 11P is a budget smartphone that promises to deliver good performance and features at an affordable price of around $180. After using it for two weeks, I have mixed feelings about this device. On the positive side, the phone has a decent design despite being made of cheap plastic. It also features a 3.5mm audio jack, which is useful for those who still use wired earbuds. The triple card slot allows you to insert dual SIM and a micro SD memory card simultaneously, which is a convenient feature. The Ulefone Note 11P has impressive specifications, including the Helio P60 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. However, I found that the 8GB of RAM is more of a marketing gimmick than an actual performance booster. The phone's performance was smooth, but benchmark results were comparable to those of devices with lower RAM configurations. The camera setup is another highlight of this device, particularly the 48MP primary sensor and ultra-wide-angle camera. However, the bokeh camera was disappointing, producing subpar portrait mode shots. Battery life was average, but charging time was excessively long at around 3 hours for a full charge. Overall, I would not recommend the Ulefone Note 11P over other budget smartphones like the Redmi Note 10 or its 5G variant, which offer better performance, display, and battery life at similar prices. The next smartphone from Ulefone needs to address these issues if they want to compete in this crowded market.
