Xiaomi Redmi Note 12S

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12S is a decent mid-range smartphone that offers good value for money. The device boasts a large AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for gaming and video consumption. The battery life is also impressive, with a substantial capacity and a fast charger (33W) in the box. However, the camera setup is a major letdown. The inclusion of a useless "garbage camera" (as I'd like to call it) is frustrating, especially considering the device's price point. Build quality-wise, the Note 12S feels somewhat plasticky, which may take away from its premium feel, even if it's not marketed as a high-end device. The processor, while not the most powerful, handles everyday tasks with ease. However, those seeking more processing power may want to look elsewhere. The fingerprint sensor doubles as a power button, and the inclusion of an IR Blaster is a nice touch, allowing users to control appliances remotely. Compared to other devices in its price range, the Note 12S struggles to stand out. For instance, the Xiaomi Poco F5 (non-pro variant) offers significantly better value for your money at a lower price point. While not a flagship device, the F5 delivers impressive performance and features that make it an attractive option. In summary, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12S is a solid mid-range smartphone with some notable drawbacks. If you're looking for a reliable device without breaking the bank, this may be worth considering. However, if budget allows, I'd recommend exploring other options like the Poco F5, which offers significantly better value and performance. Good display, decent battery life, fast charger, IR Blaster Underwhelming camera setup, plasticky build quality, unimpressive processor

vivo Y18t

The Vivo Y8T is a budget-friendly smartphone that packs a punch with its impressive features. Priced at around BDT 15,000, this device boasts a 6.56-inch IPS LCD display, a 5,000mAh battery with fast charging, and a quad-core processor powered by the Unisoc Tiger T612 chipset. With a 50MP primary camera and an 8MP selfie camera, the Y8T is equipped to take stunning photos and videos.
