The Realme GT 7 delivers a powerful performance in terms of battery, display, and overall capabilities. The 7,000mAh battery, combined with 120W fast charging, sets a benchmark at this price point, while 6000 nits of peak brightness makes it brighter than the iPhone 16. The camera department is not the biggest highlight of the GT 7, though. For gaming enthusiasts, the phone can deliver on every front. Keeping in sync with market trends, the GT 7 features a host of AI enhancements, which is a welcome addition.

Vivo’s V40 Pro has a slim design which uses a polycarbonate frame sandwiched between two glass screens with curved sides. The device also offers a top-notch IP rating and finally offers stereo speakers. The phone has a curved edge display which gets really bright and has a thin bezel.
The device offers enough raw performance to easily handle day-to-day tasks. Gaming is also not a problem as the phone can easily handle high end games. The device, despite its slim design, surprisingly manages to pack in a vapour chamber cooling system which keeps its performance in check when under stress.
Camera performance of the primary and camera is good and the same goes for the phone’s telephoto camera, but the ultrawide camera’s image quality leaves a lot to be desired. Battery life is impressive and will easily last beyond a day of heavy usage. Charging speed albeit only wired is also quite fast.

The Honor 200 Pro has a stunning design that makes it stand out from the crowd, a crisp display that makes multimedia consumption a breeze, and a flagship-grade performance with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
However, the Honor 200 Pro's camera sets it apart from the competition. It takes some perfect photos in both daylight and low-light conditions. The portraits came out to be sharp and crisp, full of details from the rear sensor.
The front camera performance is decent, and you get good shots in daylight and low-light conditions. The Honor 200 Pro also packs a decent battery life. Overall, if you are looking for a reliable camera-centric smartphone with no budget constraints, you can consider the Honor 200 Pro.

The Pixel 8a has a fresh new design that will remind many of the premium offerings in Google’s smartphone lineup. Its design still uses a plastic back but now has a more premium feel thanks to its soft, frosted finish.
The phone also offers a solid IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. Its Tensor G3 brings plenty of new AI features once reserved for the premium Pixels to the A series. Performance is still not its strong point, but it offers decent performance for everyday app usage.
Still, the camera performance is pretty solid, and the same can be said about the rear camera’s low-light performance, which works well on both primary and ultrawide cameras.
Battery life is not great but will last most users a day. Charging speeds are still quite slow and the same applies to the Qi standard wireless charging the phone offers.
