Xiaomi Civi 2

The Xiaomi Civi 2 is the latest phone designed specifically for female users, boasting a new series of features and upgrades. Unfortunately, despite some improvements, the phone falls short in several areas. One of the biggest letdowns is the design, which has taken a step back from its predecessor. The switch from metal to plastic frames makes the phone look and feel cheaper. Additionally, the camera module design seems uninspired compared to other phones on the market. However, the camera itself is where the Civi 2 truly shines. With a 32-megapixel autofocus front main camera and a 32-megapixel ultra-wide angle front camera, selfie-taking has never been better. The new camera features, such as beauty modes and flash options, are also welcome additions. The rear camera has also seen significant upgrades with the IMX 766 sensor and a 32-megapixel ultra-wide camera. Photos taken with the main camera are excellent most of the time, but night shots can be blurry without OIS. The ultra-wide camera takes high-contrast photos with a great atmosphere. Despite its strengths in camera capabilities, the Civi 2 falls short in other areas. The Snapdragon 7th generation 1 processor is underwhelming for gaming performance, and the screen is only average with a 120Hz FHD+ display. The battery life is decent, but the single speaker replacement from stereo dual speakers is a significant step back. Overall, the Xiaomi Civi 2 is a solid camera-focused phone that may not be worth it if you're looking for other features to shine.

vivo Y29 5G

I recently got my hands on the Vivo Y29 5G, a smartphone that promises a lot but delivers little. With a starting price of around Rs 15,000, I expected more from this device. The phone's design is decent, with a diamond-black finish and a sleek aluminum frame, but things take a turn for the worse when it comes to performance. The processor feels slow, even for basic tasks like browsing and social media, and the camera is underwhelming, producing average photos that don't impress.
