Xiaomi Redmi A1+

The Xiaomi Redmi A1+ is the most affordable smartphone from Xiaomi in 2022, offering a clean Android experience at an unbeatable price point. This budget-friendly device comes with a leather texture design and features a 6.52-inch HD Plus display, although not full HD. The phone runs on stock Android, similar to the Google Pixel lineup, which sets it apart from other Xiaomi smartphones. One of the notable aspects of the Redmi A1+ is its lack of bloatware, with only around 10 pre-installed applications that can be easily uninstalled. This is a significant improvement over most Xiaomi devices. Additionally, the phone's haptics are surprisingly powerful, making it feel like a more premium device. The Redmi A1+ also boasts an impressive 5,000mAh battery that can last up to two days on a single charge, although it does not support fast charging. The camera setup consists of an 8-megapixel primary lens and a depth sensor, which while not ideal for content creation, is sufficient for capturing decent photos in emergency situations. With its affordable price tag of around PHP 4,000, the Xiaomi Redmi A1+ is an attractive option for those on a tight budget. While it may not be the best smartphone in 2022, it's a great alternative for casual users who just need a reliable device for communication and basic tasks. Overall, the Xiaomi Redmi A1+ offers impressive value for its price point, making it a solid choice for those seeking an affordable Android experience without breaking the bank.

vivo Y15a

The Vivo Y15a is a budget phone released in November 2021, still available in the market. This review provides an impression of the device, highlighting its features and performance. The phone's design is sleek and modern, with a matte finish that resists fingerprints. It comes in two color options: wave green and mystic blue. The phone has a water drop notch display with a 720p resolution, which is acceptable for budget phones but not as sharp or colorful as higher-end devices. Performance-wise, the Vivo Y15a runs on an old Mediatek Helio P25 chip with 4GB of RAM, making it suitable for basic tasks like browsing and social media scrolling. However, gaming performance may be compromised, especially for demanding games like Call of Duty Mobile. The phone's battery life is strong, with a 5000mAh capacity that can last more than a day on light usage. The camera setup includes a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor, while the front camera has an 8MP resolution. Video recording capabilities are capped at 1080p for both rear and front cameras. The phone runs on FunTouch OS based on Android 12, but lacks customization options compared to higher-end devices. The Vivo Y15a has only one configuration: 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, priced at 7999 pesos. In comparison, the Y15s model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is available for 619 pesos. Overall, the Vivo Y15a offers decent performance and battery life but may not be suitable for demanding users or gamers due to its old processor and limited camera capabilities.
