The Reality 6 i phone is the tondown version of Realme 6.

Realme 6i has a 6.5-inch display with a hole-pan design. At the same time, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner has also been provided in Fanna.

Poco m2 professional

Poco M2 Pro has been introduced in the budget segment. It has a premium design and a 6.67-inch display is available like Poco X2. It has a panel with standard 60 Hz refresh rates. Poco has used Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back and has given P2I coating on M2 Professional, which makes it somewhat splash resistant.

This smartphone is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset, which we have also seen in competitive models like Redmi Note 9 Pro.

The price of these three variants is Rs 13,999, Rs 14,999, Rs 16,999 respectively.

The phone captures good-looking pictures in the daylight, but in the photos taken from its wide-angle camera, we got to see faded colors and low details. In low light, both primary and wide-angle cameras struggled to produce details. Night mode was also not very effective.

Samsung Galaxy M21

We were quite surprised by how the Galaxy M22 was compared to the Samsung Galaxy M30s. In fact, in addition to a high-rugulation selfie camera on the new model, both phones are almost the same. The best thing is that the price of Samsung Galaxy M21 is kept less than the Galaxy M30S, which makes it a better option.
Some strong points of the phone include its best AMOLED display, low weight, very good battery life and decent app performance. It runs on Samsung’s One UI 2.0 interface based on Android 10. It works on the Exynos 9611 chipset, which is not the most powerful chipset, especially when you have better Qualcomm and MediaTek chipset on some smartphones in the same segment. Nevertheless, for general use and mild gaming, Egsinos 9611 chipset works well.

Triple rear cameras work fine during the day, but they struggle slightly in low light. The 20-megapixel selfie camera is a good improvement compared to the Galaxy M30s. The pictures taken during the day have good details and low light shots also cannot be called bad.

The price of Samsung Galaxy M12 has recently increased, now its 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage variants are priced at Rs 13,999 in India and its high-end variant comes with 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, priced at 15,999 Is Rs.

So the company tease the phone for better gaming performance. NARZO 10 includes MediaTek Helio G80 chipset, which handles the games well and is also solid in the case of app loading and multitasking performance. This smartphone also has a USP good battery life.
The main area where Narzo 10 could do better is its camera. The daylight performance with all rear cameras and the same front was good, but low-light performance did not make us very happy. The camera app could have been slightly more comfortable. Realme UI looks fresh and interesting, but still contains a lot of blotware.

It has only one configuration with 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. Its price is Rs 11,999. Small issues of Narzo 10 can be forgiven at this price.

Redmi observe 9 professional

One of the best phones in the segment of Rs 15,000 is recently launched Redmi Observe 9 Professional smartphone. The Dual-Sim Redmi Note 9 Pro 6.67 inch Full-HD+ (1080×2400 pixels) comes with an IPS display.
