Xiaomi Mi 10i

The Xiaomi Mi 10i is an impressive mid-range smartphone that competes with flagship devices like the Galaxy M51. While it falls short in some aspects, it excels in others. Design-wise, the Mi 10i has a better design compared to its predecessor, with a higher refresh rate display (up from 60Hz). The 6.67-inch screen is crisp and vibrant, making it enjoyable for watching videos or gaming. Under the hood, the phone packs a slightly better-performing chipset, which translates to smoother performance in daily tasks and demanding apps. However, it's worth noting that the device can get warm during intense usage. The camera setup on the Mi 10i is impressive, with four lenses at the back: a primary 108MP sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro camera. While it produces sharper images than the Galaxy M51, its colors often have a slight red tint, which might not be accurate. Portrait shots from the Mi 10i can sometimes look ghastly due to excessive details on the subject's face, but they're not bad overall. Nighttime images are similar to those taken by the Galaxy M51, with good exposure and saturation. In terms of video capabilities, the Mi 10i shoots at 1080p 60fps, while the Galaxy M51 can record at 4K 30fps. However, the former's videos look stabilized, unlike the latter's shaky recordings. Battery life is a letdown, with the 4500mAh cell lasting only a day, whereas the Galaxy M51's 7000mAh battery easily lasts two days. Despite this, the Mi 10i's proprietary 33W power adapter quickly charges the phone to 100%. Overall, the Xiaomi Mi 10i is a good mid-range smartphone that excels in some areas but falls short in others. It requires optimization of its flagship-grade camera sensor with future updates to truly compete with the Galaxy M51.

vivo Y28 4G

The Vivo Y28 4G promises a budget-friendly smartphone experience. With its sleek design and vibrant dark green color, this device catches the eye. The phone features a 6.5-inch LCD IPS display, a dual-camera setup, and a large 5000mAh battery with fast charging capabilities.

The cameras include an 8MP front shooter and a dual-camera setup at the back, though details are scarce on the latter. Pricing for this device remains uncertain, making it an intriguing yet unknown quantity in the budget smartphone market.
