vivo Y36

The Vivo Y36 5G is an entry-level smartphone that promises to deliver 5G connectivity, a 9Hz display, large 5000mAh battery, and a 50MP camera at a budget-friendly price. The phone's design features a sleek and modern look with a glass front, plastic back, and plastic frame, but it's a fingerprint magnet. The device boasts a 6.64-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, making everything look smoother and more responsive. The display also has good viewing angles and color accuracy, although it's not perfect. Under the hood, the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6020 chipset, an 8GB RAM, and 256GB internal storage. While gaming performance is average, the phone can handle smooth performance. The device runs on Funtouch OS 13, based on Android 13, with a clean and simple interface. The Y36 5G's camera features a dual rear setup with a 50MP main camera and a 2MP depth sensor. While it takes decent photos in good lighting conditions, the quality is average. The front camera is a 16MP sensor that takes selfies with good clarity. The phone has a large 5000mAh battery that lasts for a full day of moderate usage, with fast charging capabilities. However, the build quality is plastic, and there's no ultra-wide lens or mono speaker. Overall, the Vivo Y36 5G offers a lot of value for its price, making it a good option for those looking for a budget-friendly smartphone with decent performance, long battery life, and 5G connectivity.

Xiaomi Redmi 9T

The Xiaomi Redmi 9T is an entry-level phone that shares many similarities with its counterpart, the Poco M3. However, there are some notable differences that set it apart. The design, for instance, boasts a glossy metallic finish and a splash-proof build, making it a great option for those who want peace of mind. The device also features NFC support, which is not available on the Poco M3. Under the hood, the Redmi 9T sports a Snapdragon 662 chipset, which provides decent performance but falls short in GPU-intensive tasks. This is likely due to the phone's 1080p display, which can be demanding on the processor. Despite this, the device manages to deliver excellent battery life, with our proprietary tests yielding an impressive 150 hours of usage. The cameras on the Redmi 9T are a mixed bag. The 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera is a welcome addition, but its photos lack detail and sharpness. The main camera takes good photos during the day, but struggles in low light conditions. Night mode does improve the quality, but it's still not up to par with other phones in this price range. In conclusion, the Xiaomi Redmi 9T offers a great balance of features for its price. While it may not excel in every department, it makes up for it with its splash-proof build, NFC support, and excellent battery life. For those looking for an entry-level phone that ticks all the right boxes, the Redmi 9T is definitely worth considering.
