Pros and Cons

Xiaomi Mix 4

Strengths

Impressive Under Display Camera: The Xiaomi Mix 4 boasts the best under-display camera (UDC) technology currently available, surpassing even the Axon 30 Fold 3 and the first-generation Axon 20.
Fast Charging: The phone supports incredibly fast charging at 120 watts, taking around 22-25 minutes to fully charge the battery.
Great Ceramic Build: The Mix 4 has a fantastic ceramic build, with a solid construction that feels premium in hand. It's just a bit on the heavier side, weighing over 220 grams.
Fast Wireless Charging: Despite not having the wireless charger on hand, the phone's wireless charging speed is around 30 minutes.

Weaknesses

Outdated Camera Sensor: The Mix 4's camera choice of a 108-megapixel HMX sensor from Samsung feels like a missed opportunity, especially considering it's slightly dated for late 2021. A GN2 camera would have been a more desirable upgrade.
Thermal Issues with Snapdragon 8+ Plus: Unfortunately, the phone's performance is hampered by thermal issues associated with the Snapdragon 8+ Plus chipset. This can lead to overheating and even booting out of demanding games or apps.

Oppo A3 4G

Strengths

The phone has a premium design that looks good, especially with its iPhone-like aesthetic.
It has a triple card slot, allowing for expandable storage via microSD.
The phone is said to be drop-resistant and military standard (810h), which adds an extra layer of durability.
The camera has a 50MP main sensor with a wide aperture, capable of taking decent photos in good lighting conditions.
The battery life is reportedly good, lasting up to four years with moderate use.

Weaknesses

The phone's performance is merely 'so-so', lacking the power expected from a mid-range device.
The camera performance is subpar, especially in low-light conditions and when using the front-facing camera.
The front-facing camera resolution is very bad and shaky, making it unsuitable for any type of photography beyond video chatting.
The phone's Snapdragon 6s gen one chip is reportedly a rebranded older model (Snapdragon 685), which may lead to performance issues.
The phone's price point of 9,000 pesos seems too high considering its relatively weak specs and camera capabilities compared to other options like the Infinix Hot 3 4G.

Xiaomi Mix 4

The Xiaomi Mi 11 is a phone that has left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, it boasts some impressive specs, including a 108MP Samsung HMX sensor and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Plus chip. The phone's ceramic build and fast charging capabilities (120W) are also notable features. However, my experience with the camera was underwhelming. While the 108MP sensor is capable of producing high-quality images, it feels like an outdated choice in today's market. I would have preferred a GN2 sensor, which is used in the Mi 11 Ultra. The camera's performance is further compromised by its tendency to switch between digital and optical zoom modes. The Snapdragon 8+ Plus chip is another area of concern. While it delivers excellent performance, it also suffers from overheating issues when subjected to demanding tasks like gaming or benchmarking. This was evident in my experience with the Antutu benchmark test, which crashed due to excessive heat. Despite these drawbacks, the Mi 11 still has some redeeming qualities. The phone's ceramic build is solid and premium-feeling, and the fast charging capabilities are a welcome feature. However, the camera and thermal issues make it difficult for me to wholeheartedly recommend this phone. Overall, the Xiaomi Mi 11 is a phone with potential that falls short due to its mixed performance. While it may appeal to those seeking a fast-charging experience, I would caution gamers and photographers to look elsewhere.

Oppo A3 4G

The Oppo A3 4G is an intriguing smartphone that boasts premium features at an affordable price point of 8,999 pesos. With its sleek design and iPhone-like aesthetics, it's hard to ignore its attractive exterior. The phone also comes with a range of impressive specs, including a 6nm Snapdragon 680 processor, 128GB storage, and 5,100mAh battery. But is it worth the hype? Our review will delve into the device's performance, camera capabilities, and gaming experience to help you decide if this phone is truly worth its price tag.
