Xiaomi Mi 10S

The Xiaomi Mi 10S is an upgraded version of the original Mi 10, boasting impressive specs at an affordable price point. Released in 2021, this phone was a best-seller due to its excellent reception and powerful performance. The device features a sleek design with a glossy metal ring around the camera lens, similar to the Mi 11 Ultra. The white color variant has a premium feel, with a textured glass back that resists fingerprint stains. The Mi 10S is powered by the Snapdragon 870 chip, delivering smooth gaming experiences and efficient performance. In our tests, we observed consistent frame rates of up to 89 fps in PUBG and 56 fps in Genshin Impact. The phone's cooling system allows for sustained performance without overheating, making it ideal for gamers. The camera setup is identical to the Mi 10, with a 108MP primary sensor, but the photos produced by the Mi 11 algorithm are very good, especially considering the price point. The ultra-wide angle lens performs well in daylight and nighttime conditions. The phone's audio quality has also been improved with the addition of Harman Kardon tuning, making it one of the best-performing phones we've tested recently. With a 6.67-inch FHD+ display, the Mi 10S offers a great viewing experience and efficient battery life. Charging speeds have been increased to 33W, allowing for quick top-ups throughout the day. Overall, the Xiaomi Mi 10S is an excellent choice for those seeking a powerful phone without breaking the bank.

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.
