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.
The Xiaomi Redmi A3 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers decent value for its price. The phone's design is modern with clean lines, but the camera bump may not appeal to everyone. The display is nice and the battery life is surprisingly good, lasting up to 3 days on a single charge. Performance-wise, the phone is suitable for casual users who only need it for basic tasks like calls, texts, browsing, and occasional social media use. It can handle some lighter games, but hardcore gaming enthusiasts may want to look elsewhere. The phone's RAM, storage, and processor are pretty basic, making it a no-frills champion. One of the notable improvements is the charging speed, which has been upgraded to 18W fast charging. This allows for faster charging times, making it convenient for users who prioritize battery life. Overall, the Redmi A3 is worth considering if you're on a tight budget and only need a phone for the essentials. However, it's not a powerhouse device that can handle demanding tasks or high-performance games. In summary, this phone gets the job done, but doesn't excel in any particular area. It earns a 6 out of 10 rating, making it a decent value play for those who don't need much from their smartphone.
