realme 14 Pro

Strengths

The color changing design is quite interesting, even if it's a gimmick over time. It feels much better than last year's Real Mi 13 Pro Plus or Xiaomi's Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus for that matter.
It has a solid premium and robust design, military standard A10 Edge compliant, shock resistant, and has all kinds of IP ratings like IP66, IP68, and ip69, which is a first in Realme's mid-range phone.
The display on this thing is nice too, with good color reproduction, touch response, and everything else. It has high PWM dimming, 120Hz refresh rate, works well, and the higher 1.5k resolution makes everything look sharp and RIS.
It also has a huge 6,000 mAh battery that easily gets over eight hours of screen on time with this phone, so 1.5 days of battery life plus it charges pretty fast like within 55 minutes with its 8wat charger.
The camera performance is decent, with good color reproduction and sharpness in images. The primary lens does a fantastic job during nighttime too, with nice details and exposure management.

Weaknesses

It's not the most balanced mid-range phone mainly because of its average performance and a lack of a good Ultra wide lens.
The ultra-wide camera has an average resolution (8 megapixel) that results in average ultra-wide angle images during daytime as well as night, and you cannot shoot 4K videos with it.
You have to settle for 1080p video recording when switching from the primary camera to the ultra-wide camera.
The Snapdragon 7s gen 3 chipset doesn't support 4K 60 FPS recording, so the max you can shoot from the main and front camera is 4K 30 FPS with quality issues like movement wble.
It's not perfect for every aspect, it has some flaws like average performance, ultra-wide lens issues and lack of better chipset which could have made it a king among mid-range phones.

Xiaomi 12X

The Xiaomi 12X is the most affordable phone in the company's new flagship series, yet it shares many features with its more expensive siblings, including the Xiaomi 12. Despite being the cheapest option, the 12X has an identical design to the 12, featuring a similar matte finish and camera island layout. Weighing just 176 grams, the 12X is one of the most compact smartphones on the market, making it easy to use with one hand. The phone's 6.2-inch AMOLED display boasts a full HD resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and 480Hz touch sampling rate, delivering excellent media consumption experiences. The camera system, although lacking a telephoto lens, is impressive, producing well-balanced photos with accurate colors and dynamic range. The main camera captures detailed shots in bright conditions, while the ultrawide lens produces pleasing images with minimal distortion correction. Portrait mode shots are particularly outstanding, with subjects rendered in great detail. In low-light situations, auto night mode performs admirably, taking sharp, detailed, and noise-free photos. The selfie camera is also capable, capturing well-exposed and detailed images with good dynamic range and accurate colors. The 12X's performance is bolstered by its flagship-grade chipset, which is less prone to throttling than the one in the Xiaomi 12. While it may not be perfect, with no water resistance and an underwhelming telephoto lens, the phone's many strengths make it a compelling option for those seeking a high-quality smartphone at an affordable price. Overall, the Xiaomi 12X has all the ingredients necessary to become a popular smartphone, offering a great display, comfortable design, good camera performance, and respectable battery life. While it may face competition from other phones like the Realme GT2 Pro, its strengths make it a phone worth considering.

realme 14 Pro

The Realme 14 Pro Plus is a color-changing smartphone that's hard to ignore. With its unique thermochromic design, this device promises a good overall package under ₹30,000. While it boasts impressive specs like a high-refresh-rate display and a triple-camera setup, there are some compromises to be made. Performance might not be the strong suit of this phone, but its camera capabilities are noteworthy, especially for portrait shots. Let's dive into the pros and cons of this device.
