Realme GT 7 Pro Review: Snapdragon 8 Elite Power! Check Pros & Cons

<h2>The Realme GT 7 Pro makes a grand entrance, featuring the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, cutting-edge Hyperimage+ camera tech, and an impressive 5,800mAh battery. With all these standout features, is it worthy of a spot on your wish list?</h2>

Realme is back in the flagship game with the new GT 7 Pro. This is the most premium Realme smartphone to launch in India, starting at ₹59,999 for the base 12GB+256GB variant.
It is also the first Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered phone in India. So, is this also the best premium Android smartphone? Let's find out!
Realme GT 7 Pro Performance
Since this is the first smartphone with the &nbsp;Snapdragon 8 Elite, let&rsquo;s talk about its raw performance.&nbsp;
I began with AnTuTu, where I was hoping to see that 3 million mark.
But, the GT 7 Pro scored 2.62 million, which is still approximately 24% better than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's peak of 2.1 million.
It surprisingly scored a bit less with the performance-focused GT mode enabled. Also, enabling GT mode did reduce the battery life, without adding much to the performance, so I suggest keeping it disabled.&nbsp;
For GPU performance, the 3DMark Wildlife Extreme benchmark resulted in a peak score of 5893, which is lesser than the Dimensity 9400&rsquo;s best score. However, the stability rating of the GT 7 Pro was quite impressive.&nbsp;
In a 30-minute BGMI gaming session at 90fps with &lsquo;Smooth&rsquo; graphics, the phone showed no frame drops or overheating. It also ran smoothly at 40fps with &lsquo;Ultra HDR&rsquo; graphics.&nbsp;
You also get frame rate interpolation which artificially boosts the game frame rate to up to 120fps and it works quite well.
Interestingly, while this phone did get quite hot during benchmark tests, it maintained respectable temperatures while gaming. So, thermal throttling shouldn't be much of an issue here.
Realme GT 7 Pro Design
Now, moving on to the design, the GT 7 Pro sports a fresh, bold look that I really like. The squarish camera island with its extended border, and subtle copper accent gives a distinctive look to this smartphone.
Then, this Galaxy Grey colourway of our review unit has a brushed metal texture and a matt finish which looks great. But, if you love bold and vibrant colours, the available Mars Orange option could be perfect for you.&nbsp;
The premium feel of the metal frame and glass back gives this smartphone a top-notch in-hand experience.&nbsp;
Realme GT 7 Pro Battery &amp; Charging
This smartphone has a nice weighty feel to it, partly due to its high quality construction, and partly due to its big 5800mAh battery.&nbsp;
This is a silicon carbide battery with higher energy density than lithium ones, allowing for either a smaller battery with the same capacity or a larger capacity in the same size.
Therefore, the Realme GT 7 Pro packs stays decently slim at 8.55mm despite packing a big battery.
However, the Chinese unit of this smartphone has a 6,500mAh battery. Realme claims that they downsized the battery on the India unit due to regulatory issues, but still a difference of 700mAh is quite significant.&nbsp;
Still, 5800mAh is quite big by any standard so, a 9-hour+ screen time with mixed use can easily be achieved on this smartphone.&nbsp;
Plus, you still get that quick 120W fast charger in the box. It can fully charge this battery from 0-100 in around half an hour.
However, wireless charging is notably absent here, and it's an essential flagship feature that Realme shouldn't have skipped.
Realme GT 7 Pro Display &amp; Utility
Good looks and big battery aside, the GT 7 Pro also gets the added durability with an IP69 rating and Gorilla Glass 7i protection for its display.
Then, it gets an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner which worked quite well in my experience.
Talking of the display, it's a Samsung-made 6.78-inch LTPO OLED with a 120Hz refresh rate. It has a 120% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage and delivers an astonishing peak brightness of 6500 nits when viewing HDR content.
But, in practical use, its 2000 nits brightness in high brightness mode still ensures it remains brilliantly visible, even in direct sunlight.
In case you haven&rsquo;t already noticed, this display is not fully flat: it is micro curved on all 4 edges. This is a trend that we&rsquo;re gonna see on a lot of Chinese flagship phones this year, and frankly, I&rsquo;m not a big fan of it.&nbsp;
You see, traditional curved displays, despite being less practical, offer a premium look. On the other hand, fully flat displays prioritise practicality. These micro curves seem like an unnecessary addition which doesn't add much aesthetic or practical value to a smartphone.&nbsp;
Realme GT 7 Pro Software &amp; AI
Coming to software, you get Realme UI 6 here, which, like always, is quite feature rich and works really well on this phone thanks to 16GB of RAM on my test unit. Bloatware has thankfully been kept in check on this phone, but the Glance lock screen still remains.&nbsp;
Realme has enhanced this phone&rsquo;s software with a powerful AI suite, particularly for photo editing. There's also a new Samsung-like draw-to-image AI generator, but it's limited to 10 generations per day.
However, most of these AI features will not work without an internet connection.&nbsp;
I mean, what's the point of boasting about the latest and greatest chipset with powerful neural processors if everything is being processed online?
Anyway, the GT 7 Pro will get 3 OS updates and 4 security updates. Qulacomm is officially supporting the Snapdragon 8 Elite for 8 years, so Realme really needs to work on its update policy in this competitive market.
Realme GT 7 Pro Cameras
Finally, lets talk about those cameras. The GT 7 Pro packs 3 lenses at the back: a 50MP main, a 50MP 3x telephoto, and an 8MP ultrawide.&nbsp;
Please watch the video to see camera samples.
I really like how images from all sensors remain colour matched with true to life colours. I also found the photos taken by the main camera to be quite impressive with a good amount of detail and dynamic range. Nightime photos are fine but not quite flagship grade because of muted shadows.&nbsp;
Videos from the main sensor are not very impressive since the 4K 60fps footage is not stable enough, while 4K 30fps clips have a lot of noise. You can shoot 8K 24fps footage from this camera too, but I won&rsquo;t recommend it.&nbsp;
The 50MP telephoto camera takes great portraits with nice bokeh drop off and accurate edge detection. But portraits come great only if there is ample light.&nbsp;
This sensor does not work in low light, which is typically a mid-range phone behaviour, and it should be fixed via an update. It also occasionally struggles with focusing on the subject. &nbsp;&nbsp;
The ultrawide is pretty good by 8MP sensor standards, as long as you give it enough light.
The 16MP front camera does a fine job by producing accurate skin tones and good dynamic range.&nbsp;
Realme GT 7 Pro Review
And there you have it, the Realme GT 7 Pro. It strikes a fine balance between performance, display quality, battery life, and design, making it an excellent choice for those who want a powerful phone without breaking the bank.&nbsp;
But, if you&rsquo;re specifically looking for a camera phone, you may need to look elsewhere as its cameras, while solid, don't quite reach flagship levels.
Still, Realme has crafted a surprisingly premium package with the GT 7 Pro, marking a great comeback in the flagship game.

Is the Oppo Find X8 Pro the best smartphone camera system you can buy today? Find out all about it in our detailed review!

Oppo Find X8 Pro Review: India's First Phone With Dimensity 9400; Check Pros & Cons

<h2>Is the Oppo Find X8 Pro the best smartphone camera system you can buy today? Find out all about it in our detailed review!</h2>

I&rsquo;ve been using the new Oppo Find X8 Pro for about a week now, and let me tell you, this thing is a genuine spec monster.&nbsp;
The list of hardware it packs is long enough to send shivers down the spine of any competition.&nbsp;
But there are three things that really stood out to me&mdash;cameras, performance, and battery.&nbsp;
Look, the race to build the ultimate smartphone camera is fiercer than ever, but honestly, the Find X8 Pro feels like it&rsquo;s already claimed the crown.&nbsp;
This phone packs four 50MP cameras on the back. And if that&rsquo;s not crazy enough, two of them are telephoto lenses offering 3x and 6x optical zoom.&nbsp;
The main camera is a 1/1.4" Sony LYT 808 sensor and the ultrawide camera boasts a 120-degree field of view.&nbsp;
This ultrawide lens is the only one without OIS, but it makes up for it with autofocus, making it versatile for both landscape and macro photography.&nbsp;
This time, they&rsquo;ve introduced the new Hasselblad Master Camera System, which they claim takes photography to an entirely new level&mdash;and honestly, I agree.&nbsp;
Please watch the video to see camera samples.
The results are fantastic, with excellent dynamic range, balanced exposure, and accurate colours. That large sensor on the main camera also shines in low-light conditions, capturing beautiful shots often without even needing night mode.
But it's the telephoto shots that are truly noteworthy, delivering exceptional detail at 3x and 6x zoom . But Oppo is also offering something called AI Telescope Zoom that kicks in at 10x zoom and beyond.
It leverages the full 50MP telephoto camera to restore lost detail using AI. At 60x, when the data is limited, it uses advanced AI models to enhance the image. Just look at the details on the pigeon&rsquo;s wings &ndash; that&rsquo;s pretty insane!
Another advantage of having powerful telephoto lenses like these is that you get amazing portraits.
The phone automatically uses the 3x lens for portraits, but you can also switch to the 6x lens or even the main camera. By the way, all four lenses can shoot 4K video at 60fps in Dolby Vision, offering better dynamic range across the board.
There&rsquo;s also a 32MP camera up front, and it does a decent job with selfies&mdash;nothing groundbreaking, but it gets the job done.
The Find X8 Pro introduces a new hardware button, similar to the iPhone 16's Camera Control Button. It&rsquo;s pressure-sensitive and lets you take photos and zoom in and out of shots. I actually found it more intuitive than the one on the iPhone 16, but I never really felt the need to use it much.
On the whole, the Find X8 Pro is a fantastic package, and I have to say, it&rsquo;s easily one of the best camera phones available right now.
Anyway, enough about cameras, because the other big highlight is the new Dimensity 9400 flagship chipset.&nbsp;
The Find X8 Pro is the first phone in India to feature this processor, so of course, I had to run some benchmarks.&nbsp;
And to make things more interesting, I compared it with the extremely powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite on the Realme GT 7 Pro, which also happens to be the first phone in India to run on that processor.
In AnTuTu, the Find X8 Pro scored an impressive 2.31 million, but it was still a bit lower than the Realme GT 7 Pro&rsquo;s 2.62 million.
However, the Find X8 Pro offers better GPU performance, with a higher peak score of 6,465 in the 3DMark Wildlife Extreme benchmark. The GT 7 Pro, though, had a better stability rating of 71.7%.
Now, while this phone did get a bit hot during benchmark tests, it maintained respectable temperatures while gaming, and I managed to get stable frame rates without any jitter.
With 16GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage on tap, day-to-day performance was consistently smooth, whether I was multitasking or running demanding apps.
The other big upgrade for the Find X8 Pro is its larger battery capacity, made possible by Oppo's shift to silicon-carbon batteries from traditional lithium ones.&nbsp;
This new battery technology allows for significantly larger capacity without increasing the physical size, giving the phone better endurance while maintaining a sleek form factor.
And that's why, the Find X8 Pro packs a massive 5,910mAh battery while staying decently slim at just 8.24mm. It easily lasted more than a day on a single charge, so battery anxiety wasn&rsquo;t an issue.&nbsp;
That said, I wasn&rsquo;t all that impressed with the charging speeds.
It supports 80W fast charging with a charger included in the box, and you also get 50W wireless charging, but in my testing, it took 30 minutes to charge from 1 to 50 percent. While that&rsquo;s fine, I think Oppo should have included at least a 100W charger to top up the bigger battery a bit faster.
Elsewhere, the Find X8 Pro is every bit a flagship device.&nbsp;
It features a stunning 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an incredible 4,500 nits peak brightness, making it one of the brightest displays on the market.
The phone also boasts an IP69 rating for top-tier dust and water resistance, excellent stereo speakers that deliver immersive audio, and the latest ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, which brings refreshed visuals and some genuinely useful AI features.
But like I said at the very start&mdash;cameras, performance, and battery&mdash;these are the three pillars that make the Oppo Find X8 Pro a top contender in its price range.&nbsp;

Looking for the best smartphones under ₹40,000 in India? Here’s a curated list of top picks offering impressive performance, cameras, and value.

Best smartphones under Rs 40,000 in India including Vivo T3 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S23 FE and more 

<h2>Looking for the best smartphones under ₹40,000 in India? Here&rsquo;s a curated list of top picks offering impressive performance, cameras, and value.</h2>

If you&rsquo;re looking for a new phone, but are on a tight budget here&rsquo;s a quick roundup of the best phones in India you can buy right now for under Rs 40,000. After testing a wide range of devices, I&rsquo;ve narrowed it down to my top 5 picks. &nbsp;
Whether you&rsquo;re looking for great cameras, powerful performance, or a solid all-rounder that&rsquo;ll last, this list has something for everyone. &nbsp;
<h3>1. Vivo T3 Ultra&nbsp;</h3>
Starting at Rs 32,000, the Vivo T3 Ultra offers incredible value, especially if you&rsquo;ve been eyeing the Vivo V40 Pro but want something similar at a lower price. This phone is a must-have for gamers with its flagship-grade Dimensity 9200+ chipset&mdash;an upgraded version of the already powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9200.&nbsp;
In our benchmark tests, the T3 Ultra even outperformed the Vivo V40 Pro and held its own against the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered
Moto Edge 50 Ultra. It runs BGMI smoothly at 60FPS and Call of Duty Mobile at 120FPS, making it an excellent choice for gaming.&nbsp;
Now, since it&rsquo;s a Vivo phone, you can expect impressive camera performance, and the T3 Ultra doesn&rsquo;t disappoint. &nbsp;&nbsp;
In terms of battery, its 5500mAh battery delivers almost 9 hours of screen time&mdash;perfect for gaming sessions or all-day use. If you want even more performance, the 12GB RAM variant at Rs 36,000 is a great option.&nbsp;
So, if gaming and battery life are priorities and you also want good photos, the Vivo T3 Ultra is a fantastic choice!&nbsp;
<h3>2. Realme 13 Pro Plus&nbsp;</h3>
When it comes to good photos, the Realme 13 Pro Plus is definitely a phone to consider. &nbsp;
It's actually India&rsquo;s first smartphone with two Lytia sensors. It features the Lytia 701 for the 50MP main camera and the Lytia 600 for the 50MP 3x telephoto lens, plus an 8MP ultrawide lens to complete the triple camera setup.&nbsp;
Realme has also introduced a new AI algorithm for post-processing, which takes the camera quality up a notch. &nbsp;
You can see the results in the sample photos in the video&mdash;shots from this phone have excellent detail and dynamic range. Night photos are impressive too, thanks to its advanced noise control and shadow detail. For portrait shots, the 13 Pro Plus delivers sharp images with a contrasty look and great edge detection.&nbsp;
Now, the downside here is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset. By 2024 standards, it&rsquo;s pretty basic&mdash;it handles everyday tasks and light gaming fine, but it&rsquo;s clear Realme is making you choose between camera quality and performance.&nbsp;
That said, at under Rs 30,000 online, this phone is a solid choice if you prioritize camera performance above everything else!&nbsp;
<h3>3. Samsung Galaxy S23 FE&nbsp;</h3>
Launched in October last year, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is the more affordable version of the flagship Galaxy S23 series, but it still brings a lot to the table with premium-level specifications and a design that mirrors its higher-end sibling.&nbsp; The S23 FE originally launched at Rs 55,000, but now, with the arrival of the latest S24 FE, you can typically find the older model for around Rs 35,000 online. So, the question is&mdash;is the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE still worth buying over a year after its release?&nbsp;
Surprisingly, the Exynos 2200 chipset has held up really well into 2024. It&rsquo;s not the latest chipset, but it handles most tasks&mdash;including gaming&mdash;smoothly without any hiccups. Plus, those who pick up the Galaxy S23 FE will continue to receive software updates until Android 17 (2027), ensuring it stays relevant for a few more years.&nbsp;
The camera system is another major highlight. The S23 FE features a triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP primary, 12MP ultrawide, and 8MP telephoto sensor. When shooting outdoors, the 50MP primary camera delivers excellent HDR performance, well-balanced contrast, and vibrant colors. The video quality is also top-notch, with stability and well-exposed footage.&nbsp;
The 3x zoom telephoto camera performs admirably, and the 30x hybrid zoom is impressive, thanks to Samsung&rsquo;s post-processing magic.&nbsp;
In other words, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is an all-rounder with premium features now available at a much lower price. If you&rsquo;re looking for flagship performance without the flagship price, this one definitely deserves a closer look. &nbsp;
<h3>4. OnePlus 12R &nbsp;</h3>
Next, we have the OnePlus 12R, another all-rounder that&rsquo;s quickly become a popular choice&mdash;and for good reason. &nbsp; This phone boasts a stunning 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ credentials, so it's perfect for enjoying content on streaming platforms. It even matches the OnePlus 12 with a crazy high peak brightness of 4500 nits, ensuring the screen is more than bright enough for clear visibility even in bright daylight&nbsp;
Under the hood, it runs on the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, making it a solid pick for gaming and high-performance tasks.&nbsp; While the camera setup isn&rsquo;t the most versatile, the 50MP main sensor with OIS delivers sharp and clear shots that are perfect for your Insta feed. &nbsp;
Another major perk is its 5500mAh battery, paired with the super-fast 100W SUPERVOOC charger. It takes just 26 minutes to charge the phone from 1% to 100%, which is just fantastic.&nbsp;
So, if OnePlus 12 is out of your budget, the OnePlus 12R could be a great alternative, starting at Rs 39,999 for the 8GB RAM, 128GB storage variant. Plus, you can often find the phone for an even better price with discounts online, making it an even sweeter deal. &nbsp;
<h3>5. Moto Edge 50 Pro&nbsp;</h3>
The Moto Edge 50 Pro has quickly become one of my top picks at a starting price of Rs 32,000, especially considering everything it offers. You get a 144Hz display and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, so it handles gaming and multitasking like a champ. And the 125W charge is seriously fast&mdash;fully charges in under 20 minutes, which is a lifesaver when you&rsquo;re always on the go.&nbsp;
The camera system also solid but for me, it&rsquo;s the software that steals the show. Motorola&rsquo;s Hello UI based on Android 14 is clean and bloatware-free. Plus, Motorola's gesture shortcuts are always fun to use. &nbsp;

<h3>iQOO 13 vs OnePlus 13 vs Realme GT 7 Pro: Which One to Buy?</h3>
Each of these smartphones shines in its own way, making the choice largely dependent on individual priorities.
The Realme GT 7 Pro takes the crown in brightness and battery capacity, with Dolby Vision support and 6,500mAh battery.
The OnePlus 13 is ideal for heavy multitaskers, offering up to 24GB RAM and the added convenience of wireless charging.
The iQOO 13 offers a balanced mix, excelling in camera features and providing strong value across specs.

Not only is it the first phone with ColorOS 15, but it&rsquo;s also the first flagship in India to feature the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset.
It packs a hefty 5,910mAh battery, so it weighs in at well over 200 grams, but the weight is well-distributed, and it stays slim at just 8.24mm.
Design-wise, it keeps the round camera module from the X7 series, but OPPO finally nailed the look by centering the Hasselblad logo, ditching the asymmetry of the X7 Ultra that drove me crazy.
Unfortunately, OPPO isn&rsquo;t launching a vegan leather version this time around, but we&rsquo;ve got the black color in a soft matte finish. It may not be as eye-catching as the Find X7 Ultra, but it&rsquo;s still very premium and is even rated for IP69 dust and water resistance.
On the back, you've got four camera lenses, including dual-periscope lenses for serious photography. Up front, there&rsquo;s a stunning 6.78-inch 120 Hz display with slightly curved edges and ultra-thin bezels.
And oh, on the side, there&rsquo;s a new Quick Button for instant camera control&mdash;just like on the latest iPhone 16 series and I do love me an alert slider.
Full review coming soon, so stay tuned for that.
The OPPO Find X8 Pro, launching on November 21st, features the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset and a 5910mAh battery, combining power with a sleek, sophisticated design. With its centered Hasselblad logo and IP69 rating, this flagship is poised to captivate both tech enthusiasts and style-conscious consumers.

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Review: Is it Worth Buying? Check Full Specs, Price, Pros & Cons

Discover the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G, a budget-friendly smartphone with impressive features. Read our in-depth review to learn about its specs, price, camera quality, battery life, and overall performance.

<h2>The Samsung Galaxy A16 offers long-term software updates, which are uncommon at its price. Is it an ideal choice for mid-range buyers seeking a dependable all-rounder with Samsung quality?</h2>

The Samsung Galaxy A16 enters the competitive mid-range market with Samsung&rsquo;s commitment to long-term software support.&nbsp;
Priced starting at ₹18,999, this device caters to those looking for reliability, style, and features without a premium price. Let&rsquo;s examine the Galaxy A16 across several essential aspects to see how it fares.
<h3>Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Design &amp; Utility</h3>
The Galaxy A16 5G showcases a refined look with its &lsquo;glasstic&rsquo; back which gives it a nice feel, although it is glossy and showcases fingerprints.&nbsp;
In terms of build, Samsung has gone for a practical approach. The materials feel sturdy, and the device appears well-built.
At just 7.9mm thick, its slim profile is comfortable to hold, while the rounded edges further improve handling. The power button, doubling as a fingerprint scanner, is responsive and easy to reach.&nbsp;

Samsung has added an IP54 rating to this model, meaning it&rsquo;s resistant to dust and splashes.&nbsp;
This rating isn&rsquo;t as high as some other models, but it&rsquo;s still useful for everyday spills and exposure.
However, the thick display bezels and that U-shaped notch at the front do look really outdated.&nbsp;
<h3>Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Display</h3>
Samsung&rsquo;s displays are generally impressive, and the Galaxy A16 5G doesn&rsquo;t disappoint. It features a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, which is vibrant and bright. Colours appear lively, and the sharpness is noticeable when watching videos or scrolling through social media.
A 90Hz refresh rate enhances the viewing experience, making animations and scrolling appear smooth. For a mid-range device, this refresh rate is a good inclusion, though some may miss the more fluid 120Hz seen in higher-end phones.&nbsp;
Still, this display holds up well for most tasks, including gaming and media consumption. Outdoors, visibility is decent but may require slight brightness adjustments under direct sunlight.
<h3>Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Camera</h3>
The Galaxy A16 is equipped with a triple rear camera system. The primary sensor is 50MP, backed by a 5MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro lens.&nbsp; The main sensor performs well in natural light, capturing detailed and balanced photos. Colours are realistic, which is an advantage if you prefer more natural tones over saturated ones.

In low light, there&rsquo;s some noise, and details are not as sharp, but this is typical for many mid-range devices.
The ultrawide lens provides decent coverage, although there&rsquo;s a drop in detail compared to the primary camera.&nbsp;
The macro lens, while useful for close-ups, doesn&rsquo;t match the clarity of the other two sensors, and its application might be limited for everyday users.
Overall, the camera setup is suitable for social media photos and basic photography.
<h3>Galaxy A16 5G Performance &amp; Software</h3>
Samsung has chosen the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor for the Galaxy A16 5G, which is capable for most daily tasks.&nbsp;
With 8GB of RAM, switching between apps is fine in most cases, though heavy multitasking or gaming can cause occasional stutters. It handles general browsing, streaming, and app usage comfortably.
The Galaxy A16 5G runs Android 14, combined with Samsung&rsquo;s One UI 6.1, a user-friendly interface known for its customisation options.&nbsp;
One UI adds convenience through features like multi-window, gesture control, and Samsung&rsquo;s own apps.&nbsp;
Samsung promises six generations of OS upgrades and six years of security updates for this model, which is excellent for longevity. This makes it appealing for users wanting a device that will stay updated for several years.
<h3>Samsung Galaxy A16 5G Battery &amp; Charging</h3>
Battery life is one of the strengths of the Galaxy A16. It comes with a 5,000mAh battery, which lasts well over a day with regular use. This capacity is sufficient for browsing, watching videos, and general app usage without frequent recharging.
Samsung includes support for 25W fast charging, but as always, you&rsquo;ll have to buy the charger separately. Also, some competing brands offer faster charging in this range, so this may feel slightly slower in comparison.&nbsp;
<h3>Samsung Galaxy A16 5 G Review</h3>
The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G brings together good battery life and an assurance of long-term software updates, which is rare in this price range. Its display is good for the most part, making it good enough for media use.
Performance-wise, it handles daily tasks effectively, though users who want a great gaming smartphone for under ₹20,000 will notice some limitations.
For those seeking a mid-range phone that&rsquo;s a reliable all-rounder and carries the Samsung tag, the Galaxy A16 is worth considering. While it may not stand out in any particular area, it performs well in the essentials.

Discover the raw power of the Realme GT 7 Pro with our in-depth performance test. We benchmark the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset to see how it stacks up.

Realme GT 7 Pro Performance Test: How Powerful is Snapdragon 8 Elite? | Benchmark Results

<h2>Realme GT 7 Pro, powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite, aces benchmark and gaming tests with impressive scores.&nbsp;</h2>

The Realme GT 7 Pro is India&rsquo;s first phone powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which promised massive performance upgrades over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.&nbsp;
I know you've probably got a lot of questions about this powerhouse of a chip.
How much does it score on AnTuTu? Does it stay cool under pressure? How does it handle gaming and is it significantly better than the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 3?&nbsp;
To start, let&rsquo;s break down what makes this chipset special. It&rsquo;s called the Snapdragon 8 Elite because it now incorporates eight Orion cores, with two clocked at a blazing 4.32 GHz and six at 3.53 GHz.&nbsp;
This upgrade pushes the clock speeds well beyond what we saw in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and even Apple's latest A18 Pro chip in their new iPhones.
Plus, Realme has upgraded the GPU and introduced a new AI engine with the Snapdragon 8 Elite on the GT 7 Pro.&nbsp;
On paper, this makes it one of the most powerful setups out there. But let&rsquo;s see how it actually performs in benchmarks.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 7 Pro AnTutu Score</h3>
We started with the AnTuTu test, where I was hoping it would hit that 3 million mark as per reports.&nbsp;
It came close, scoring 2.62 million with the GT mode disabled, and surprisingly, a lower 2.58 million with the GT mode enabled.&nbsp;
This still marks a 20-24% leap over last year&rsquo;s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which hit a peak of around 2.1 million on the iQOO 12.
<h3>Realme GT 7 Pro Geekbench Score</h3>
On the Geekbench CPU test, the Snapdragon 8 Elite flexes its power, achieving 2932 points in single-core and a whopping 9043 in multi-core tests. For GPU performance, it stands strong with an impressive 16807 on the OpenCL score.
To check its sustained performance, I ran a CPU throttling test on the Realme GT 7 Pro.&nbsp;
Over a 15-minute, 20-thread test, the phone throttled down to about 74%.&nbsp;
Also Watch: <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/mobiles/iqoo-13-launched-all-you-need-to-know-including-specifications-and-features-1730724735134" target="_blank">iQOO 13 launched; All you need to know about features and specifications</a>
With the CPU benchmarks done, let&rsquo;s dive into the GPU performance and see how the new upgrades stack up.&nbsp;
In Geekbench, the scores show clear improvement over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in both OpenCL and Vulkan tests, which is promising.
<h3>Realme GT 7 Pro 3DMark Score</h3>
But for a real GPU workout, I turned to 3DMark's Wildlife Extreme benchmark, which runs for 20 minutes to test sustained graphics power.&nbsp;
Here, the Snapdragon 8 Elite scored an impressive 5893&mdash;a noticeable upgrade over the 8 Gen 3. The GT 7 Pro achieved a stability rating of 71.7% in this test.
During these tests, temperatures did spike, reaching the 45-degree Celsius mark. While this wasn&rsquo;t uncomfortable, I believe the GT 7 Pro can stay cooler with better software optimisations in the final production version.&nbsp;
These improvements could enhance the overall user experience and maintain optimal performance.
<h3>Realme GT 7 Pro BGMI Test</h3>
The Snapdragon 8 Elite shows promise as a solid upgrade, but the real test is in gaming. I put it to the test with BGMI, everyone's favourite.
In a 30-minute session at 90fps and &lsquo;Smooth&rsquo; graphics settings, the phone performed flawlessly&mdash;no frame drops or overheating.&nbsp;
Additionally, BGMI also runs smoothly at 40fps with &lsquo;Ultra HDR&rsquo; graphics.&nbsp;
Overall, for gaming, the Realme GT 7 Pro delivers.&nbsp;
Outside of gaming and benchmarks, the phone also feels exceptionally smooth in everyday use.&nbsp;
I&rsquo;ll be bringing you the full review very soon, so be sure to stay tuned!

Vivo X200 Pro ASMR Unboxing: Check Features, Price and more

<h2>Vivo X200 Pro launches in India with a 200MP camera and a 6000mAh battery, featuring fast charging and a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset for superior performance.</h2>

The Vivo X200 Pro has officially launched in India, and it comes packed with some impressive upgrades over its predecessor, the Vivo X100 Pro. From a brighter display and faster performance to the much-hyped 200MP telephoto camera, this phone seems ready to redefine expectations in its segment. Let&rsquo;s take a closer look at the device to see what Vivo is offering this time around.
<h3>Vivo X200 Ultra Unoxing</h3>
Vivo has included the essentials in the X200 Pro&rsquo;s box:
<ul>
<li>Vivo X200 Pro (16GB + 512GB) in Titanium Grey</li>
<li>Clear silicon case</li>
<li>USB Type-C cable</li>
<li>90W Super FlashCharge adapter</li>
<li>SIM ejector tool</li>
<li>Quick start guide and warranty information</li>
</ul>
It&rsquo;s nice to see a fast charger included, especially as many brands are starting to skip this.
<h3>Vivo X200 Pro Design</h3>
At first glance, the Vivo X200 Pro looks premium, thanks to its sleek design and attention to detail. The Titanium Grey version has a brushed metal finish that not only looks great but also provides a good grip. Vivo has also introduced IP68 and IP69 ratings for the first time, making the phone more durable against water and dust.
The phone has a metal frame with a matte finish, making it resistant to fingerprints. At 228 grams, it&rsquo;s slightly heavier than some competitors, but the weight distribution is decent. The Cosmos Black variant is a bit lighter and features a matte black finish, catering to those who prefer a classic look.
Vivo has also added wet-finger screen control, which means you can use the phone for gaming, calling, or photography even with wet hands&mdash;a thoughtful addition for everyday scenarios.
<h3>Vivo X200 Pro Display</h3>
The Vivo X200 Pro boasts a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K+ resolution (2800 &times; 1260 pixels). Vivo claims the screen can reach up to 4500 nits of peak brightness, which is excellent for outdoor visibility. Colors pop brilliantly, thanks to support for 1.07 billion colors and the ZEISS Master Color Display.
The LTPO technology enables a dynamic refresh rate ranging from 0.1Hz to 120Hz. Scrolling through the UI and playing games feels buttery smooth. You can also tweak the display settings with modes like Standard, Professional, and Bright.
For video lovers, there&rsquo;s support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Whether you&rsquo;re binge-watching Netflix or streaming on YouTube, the visuals are crisp and immersive.
<h3>Vivo X200 Pro Camera</h3>
Cameras have always been a strong suit for Vivo, and the X200 Pro is no exception. The device features:
<ul>
<li>50MP main camera (Sony LYT-818 sensor) with ZEISS T* coating and OIS</li>
<li>50MP ultra-wide camera with Samsung JN1 sensor</li>
<li>200MP telephoto camera with Samsung HP9 APO sensor, 3.7x optical zoom, and telemacro capabilities</li>
<li>32MP front camera</li>
</ul>
The 200MP telephoto lens steals the show here, offering impressive zoom capabilities and excellent results even in challenging lighting conditions. Vivo&rsquo;s collaboration with ZEISS ensures edge detection in portrait mode is sharp and natural, while the telemacro shots are a game-changer for capturing intricate details.
The camera app includes features like Pro Sports mode, Supermoon mode, and even a new Stage mode for concerts. The 4K portrait video and Dolby Vision HDR recording are standout additions for content creators.
<h3>Vivo X200 Pro Performance</h3>
Powering the Vivo X200 Pro is the new MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip. This chipset, built on TSMC&rsquo;s 3nm process, offers a 35% boost in single-core performance and a 28% boost in multi-core performance compared to its predecessor.
Paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, the phone handles multitasking, gaming, and heavy apps with ease. During a quick gaming session with titles like BGMI and COD, there were no noticeable frame drops.
<h3>Vivo X200 Pro Battery Life</h3>
The 6000mAh battery is another highlight of the Vivo X200 Pro. Vivo&rsquo;s Silicon-Carbon battery technology ensures reliable performance, even in extreme temperatures. In real-world usage, the phone easily lasts over a day with moderate to heavy use.
Fast charging is supported at 80W, which takes the phone from 0 to 50% in about 20 minutes. However, the phone gets a bit warm during charging. There&rsquo;s also 30W wireless charging, but you&rsquo;ll need Vivo&rsquo;s proprietary charger, which is no longer sold&mdash;a minor inconvenience.
<h3>Vivo X200 Pro Software</h3>
The X200 Pro runs on Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15. Vivo has promised four years of OS updates and five years of security updates, a welcome move for long-term users.
Funtouch OS 15 introduces new features like Vivo&rsquo;s Priority Scheduling for faster app launches, AI-powered call translation, and enhanced collaboration with Windows devices. While the interface is feature-rich, it still comes with a bit of bloatware.
<h3>Vivo X200 Pro First Impressions</h3>
The Vivo X200 Pro makes a strong case for itself with its robust camera setup, stunning display, and powerful performance. While the ultra-wide and front cameras leave room for improvement, the overall package is impressive.
Priced at ₹94,999, it&rsquo;s a premium offering, but it delivers on most fronts. If photography, display quality, and all-day battery life are your priorities, the Vivo X200 Pro is worth considering.
The vivo X200 Pro has made a strong first impression. Its standout features&mdash;like the stunning display, innovative camera setup, and flagship-grade performance&mdash;make it a compelling option for those looking for a premium smartphone.
However, at ₹94,999, it faces stiff competition from the likes of the OPPO Find X8 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Google Pixel 9 Pro. Each of these phones offers unique strengths, so choosing the X200 Pro will depend on how much you value its ZEISS-enhanced cameras and battery life.
Stay tuned for a full review where we&rsquo;ll dive deeper into its performance, camera capabilities, and overall usability.

The tax would be offset through money paid to Australian media organisations. The size of the tax is not clear.

Australia Plans To Tax Digital Platforms That Don’t Pay For News

The tax would be offset through money paid to Australian media organisations. The size of the tax is not clear.

The Australian Government said on Thursday (December 12, 2024) that it will tax large digital platforms and search engines unless they agree to share revenue with Australian news media organizations.
The tax would apply from Jan. 1 to tech companies that earn more than 250 million Australian dollars ($160 million) a year in revenue from Australia, Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones and Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said. They include Meta, Google, Alphabet and ByteDance.
The tax would be offset through money paid to Australian media organisations. The size of the tax is not clear.
"The real objective...is not to raise revenue &mdash; we hope not to raise any revenue. The real objective is to incentivise agreement-making between platforms and news media businesses in Australia,&rdquo; Mr Jones told reporters.
The move comes after Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, announced that it would not renew three-year deals to pay Australian news publishers for their content.
A previous Government introduced 2021 laws called the New Media Bargaining Code (NMBC) that forced tech giants to strike revenue-sharing deals with Australian media companies or face fines of 10% of their Australian revenue.
Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday (December 12).

The Redmi Note 14 Pro enters the mid-range market with with standout features, while the Nothing Phone 2a remains a fan favorite. In this comparison, we’ll break down their performance, design, cameras, and more to help you pick the best.

Redmi Note 14 Pro Review vs Nothing Phone 2a: Which Mid-Ranger Reigns Supreme?

<h2>The Redmi Note 14 Pro enters the mid-range market with with standout features, while the Nothing Phone 2a remains a fan favorite. In this comparison, we&rsquo;ll break down their performance, design, cameras, and more to help you pick the best.</h2>

The Redmi Note 14 Pro is the latest entry in India&rsquo;s mid-range smartphone market having sparked quite the buzz and hype with its specs and features. The Nothing Phone 2a on the other hand, has been around for a while, but continues to enjoy its popularity with users, thanks to its smooth performance, distinguishing design and solid reputation. But how does the Redmi Note 14 Pro, stack up against the Nothing Phone 2a?
In this review, we&rsquo;ll provide a detailed comparison of these two phones under ₹25,000 to help you figure out which one&rsquo;s the better fit. &nbsp;
<h3>Redmi Note 14 Pro vs Nothing Phone 2a: Price&nbsp;</h3>
Both have their own unique strengths, but it's their features and overall experience that set them apart from each other. But when it comes to the price, the Nothing Phone 2a comes in at ₹23,999, making it a strong contender in the mid-range category. The Redmi Note 14 Pro also starts at the same price when you include special launch offers, keeping things competitive,&nbsp;
<h3>Redmi Note 14 Pro vs Nothing Phone 2a: Design&nbsp;</h3>
The Redmi Note 14 Pro gets a dual-tone matte back, and I love how it looks, especially in this mint green color. It feels a little plasticky, though, so it doesn't exactly feel premium in the hand but the matte finish does a great job at keeping fingerprints off, which is always a win in my book. The Nothing Phone 2a sticks to its signature semi-transparent back and those awesome Glyph lights. They look amazing, but the plastic back does pick up dust and scratches quite easily. &nbsp;
As for the camera design, the Redmi plays it safe with a squircle module that&rsquo;s clean and simple, while the Nothing Phone 2a goes all in with a pill-shaped horizontal module, which is definitely a quirkier choice. Both phones have symmetrical bezels, but the Redmi offers slimmer bezels and a curved display, giving it a more premium look compared to the flat screen of the Phone 2a.&nbsp;
Now, when it comes to comfort, both phones are pretty lightweight at 190 grams, but the Redmi offers more rounded edges, which make it way more comfortable to hold for long periods.
The Nothing Phone 2a, with its blockier design, doesn&rsquo;t feel uncomfortable, but it&rsquo;s not as smooth in the hand as the Redmi. In terms of durability, the Redmi Note 14 Pro takes the crown with its IP68 water resistance, while the Nothing Phone 2a is rated IP54, which means it&rsquo;s splash-proof but not quite as durable in harsher conditions.&nbsp;
<h3>Redmi Note 14 Pro vs Nothing Phone 2a: Display and Audio&nbsp;</h3>
The Redmi Note 14 Pro features a slightly smaller 6.67-inch AMOLED screen as compared to the Nothing Phone 2a, but it packs better specs like a 1.5K resolution, Dolby Vision, and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. This makes it much more suitable for outdoor use compared to the Nothing Phone 2a, which maxes out at 1,300 nits. The Phone 2a, though, opts for a flat display that&rsquo;s easier to grip during gaming, offering more convenience than the Redmi&rsquo;s curved edges. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Both phones feature 120Hz dynamic refresh rates, and they adjust seamlessly depending on usage, plus both have reliable in-display fingerprint scanners, though the positioning feels a little low for comfort. The Nothing Phone 2a also stands out in terms of haptics&mdash;its subtle, satisfying feedback is just better than what you get on the Redmi. &nbsp;
As for the audio, while they both feature dual stereo speakers that get loud enough, I find the Nothing Phone 2a delivers a richer sound with better bass, even at full volume. It just offers a more enjoyable listening experience overall.&nbsp;
<h3>Redmi Note 14 Pro vs Nothing Phone 2a: Performance&nbsp;</h3>
The Redmi Note 14 Pro runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra chipset, while the Nothing Phone 2a uses the Dimensity 7200 Pro. Now these chips aren&rsquo;t direct upgrades, so you&rsquo;re not going to get massive performance gains with the Redmi. &nbsp;
Please watch the video for benchmark scores.&nbsp;
In Antutu, the Phone 2a pulled ahead with 7.36 lakh, while the Note 14 Pro scored 6.53 lakh. In our CPU throttling tests, the Phone 2a held up better, dropping to 92% of its max performance, while the Redmi dropped to 88%. Both phones did well overall though, so throttling isn&rsquo;t a major issue.&nbsp;
For gaming, the Nothing Phone 2a supports 90FPS gameplay in BGMI, while the Redmi Note 14 Pro can be played on extreme graphics. With performance mode enabled on the Redmi, I still saw a solid 60FPS in BGMI, so it&rsquo;s holding its own in terms of gaming performance.
In daily use, both phones handle multitasking with ease. I also had 25-30 apps open at once, and they handled the shuffle without any problems. Both devices offer up to 12GB RAM variants, but storage is limited to UFS 2.2. This is mostly standard for the price range, but it&rsquo;s worth noting that brands like Poco are stepping up with faster UFS 4.0 storage on models like the Poco X6 Pro.&nbsp;
<h3>Redmi Note 14 Pro vs Nothing Phone 2a: Cameras&nbsp;</h3>
The Redmi Note 14 Pro features a triple-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro camera, while the Nothing Phone 2a has a dual-camera setup with two 50MP sensors&mdash;one main and one ultra-wide.&nbsp;
Please watch the video to see camera samples.&nbsp;
In terms of image quality, the Redmi Note 14 Pro delivers vibrant, contrast-heavy shots with a warm tone, while the Nothing Phone 2a leans towards more natural colors. For dynamic range, the Nothing Phone 2a falls short, often struggling with highlights and shadows.&nbsp;
For zoom, the Redmi Note 14 Pro does better at 2x, preserving more detail when zoomed in. Portrait shots also come out sharper on the Redmi, with better edge detection and more consistent background blur.&nbsp;
When it comes to ultra-wide shots, the Nothing Phone 2a sometimes adds a blue tint to the sky, and shadows often get crushed. The Redmi does a better job at retaining details.&nbsp;
Neither phone includes a telephoto lens, so long-range shots aren&rsquo;t their strong suit. However, in low light, the Nothing Phone 2a pulls ahead with better detail retention, while the Redmi struggles to keep up.&nbsp;
In video, both phones can shoot 4K at 30fps but neither really stands out in a big way, but the Nothing Phone 2a does have the edge when it comes to color reproduction.&nbsp;
For selfies, the Redmi has a 20MP camera, while Nothing comes with a 32MP sensor. The Nothing phone definitely pulls ahead here, capturing more detail and offering a better portrait mode for more polished shots. &nbsp;
Overall, both phones have their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to cameras, but I prefer the Redmi Note 14 Pro.&nbsp;
<h3>Redmi Note 14 Pro vs Nothing Phone 2a: Software&nbsp;</h3>
If you&rsquo;re familiar with Nothing OS, you already know how smooth and polished it is. It&rsquo;s free of bloatware and feels like a breath of fresh air. The Redmi Note 14 Pro runs on HyperOS, which offers tons of customization options and AI features. However, it does come with a fair bit of bloatware, and while Xiaomi lets you uninstall most of it, it can be a bit of a hassle to clean up.
Both phones come with Android 14, and both promise 3 years of major updates and 4 years of security patches, which is reasonable for this price range.&nbsp;
<h3>Redmi Note 14 Pro vs Nothing Phone 2a: Battery and Charging&nbsp;</h3>
Battery life is where the Redmi Note 14 Pro really shines. With its 5,500 mAh battery, I&rsquo;ve found it easily lasts over a day, even with heavy use. It supports 45W fast charging, which fully charges it in about 1.5 hours, and it even comes with the charger in the box, which is a nice touch&mdash;something the Nothing Phone 2a skips.
The Phone 2a&rsquo;s 5,000 mAh battery still gets you through a full day, with around 30% left on heavy days and 50% on lighter days. It supports 45W charging too, but you&rsquo;ll need to buy the charger separately to take advantage of that speed.&nbsp;
<h3>Redmi Note 14 Pro vs Nothing Phone 2a: Verdict&nbsp;</h3>
in the end, both phones have a lot to offer. The Redmi Note 14 Pro is great if you&rsquo;re looking for a phone that can last all day without worrying about charging, and it&rsquo;s got solid performance to back it up. Plus, the camera does a pretty decent job with photos. The Nothing Phone 2a, on the other hand, has a really cool design, a smooth software experience, and it&rsquo;s better for gaming. &nbsp;
But when it comes to overall performance, the Redmi is the more well-rounded pick, especially if you&rsquo;re after a reliable all-day phone.&nbsp;

iQOO 13 vs Realme GT 7 Pro: Comparing the Latest Flagship Killers; Check Benchmarks & Camera Performance

<h2>Both of these impressive new flagship killers feature the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. So, which is the superior option: the iQOO 13 or the Realme GT 7 Pro? Let&rsquo;s find out!</h2>

It&rsquo;s that time of year again: a brand-new flagship chipset, and two hot new phones vying for your attention.
On one side, we have the iQOO 13, and on the other, the Realme GT 7 Pro. If you want to experience the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, these two are your best bets.&nbsp;
More importantly, both these phones are priced under ₹60,000, in fact, the iQOO can be purchased for as low as ₹51,999 with launch offers.
So, should you buy one of these, or maybe wait for something else? Let&rsquo;s find out!
iQOO 13 vs Realme GT 7 Pro: Design
Both the iQOO 13 and Realme GT 7 Pro have a nice glass sandwich design with an aluminium frame.
However, I find the Realme GT 7 Pro to have a more premium feel. It feels weightier in hand and features a matte frame that resists fingerprints better than the glossy finish on the iQOO 13.
The back of the iQOO 13 is undeniably cool with its matte ivory Legend colour and subtle BMW M-inspired strips. You&rsquo;d also notice this LED RGB ring around the camera island, which is fully customisable and adds some character to this phone.&nbsp;
Although this LED ring surrounds a downgraded camera system, which I&rsquo;ll talk about in a while.
Anyway, I still prefer the Realme&rsquo;s brushed metal texture on this grey colour: it just looks more upscale. Although the Realme&rsquo;s matte back does show fingerprints, its overall design edges out the iQOO for me.
Both smartphones are also decently robust with an IP69 rating and credible glass protections for their displays.
Both smartphones also feature quick ultrasonic fingerprint readers. I&rsquo;m glad that ultrasonic scanners are finally going mainstream 5 long years after their original debut in the Galaxy S10 series.
iQOO 13 vs Realme GT 7 Pro: Performance, Benchmarks &amp; Software
Okay, since performance without breaking the bank is the main mantra of these two phones, let&rsquo;s have a look at their benchmark scores.&nbsp;
Please watch the video for benchmark scores.
The iQOO 13 takes the lead with higher scores in AnTuTu and Geekbench. However, it scored surprisingly low in the Wildlife Extreme stress test, which is likely due to optimisation issues.&nbsp;
Although in practical terms, performance gains since the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 are hard to notice. At this point, a new flagship chip is mostly about boasting your high score on Antutu, because even a two year old 8 Gen 2 can play demanding games with ease. &nbsp;
And, when it comes to all the AI features, they still rely on an internet connection. So, it leaves me wondering, what are these powerful NPUs actually doing?
Anyway, in everyday use, both phones perform superbly. They handle heavy games without breaking a sweat, even during extended sessions. Both manage heat pretty well, although the iQOO 13 remained slightly cooler after a 30 minute BGMI session.&nbsp;
Both models also offer frame rate interpolation. The Realme can boost frame rates up to 120fps, while the iQOO has a dedicated Q2 chip that enhances gaming up to 144fps and optimises power efficiency. Do note that only a few games support frame rate interpolation.
Despite having the same chipset and 16GB of RAM, the iQOO 13 feels faster and smoother thanks to better software optimisation. Apps open swiftly on it and multitasking is seamless as well.&nbsp;
Realme, on the other hand, has cleaner software with fewer preinstalled apps. It doesn&rsquo;t bombard you with spammy notifications like the iQOO&rsquo;s V-App Store.&nbsp;
Both phones include the Glance lock screen, which feels out of place on premium devices.
You can disable all of these things on both phones, but cleaning up the iQOO will definitely require more time.
The iQOO 13 fights back with a longer software update cycle of 4+5 years compared to Realme&rsquo;s 3+4 years.&nbsp;
As mentioned before, AI features are present on both phones as long as you are connected to the internet. Realme&rsquo;s AI suite is more organised and user-friendly. It offers more features, though it still doesn&rsquo;t match the comprehensiveness of Samsung&rsquo;s AI tools.
iQOO 13 vs Realme GT 7 Pro: Cameras
After performance, now let's tackle the second most important question about these phones: are their cameras any good?
In my recent full review of the GT 7 Pro, I found its cameras to be pretty good, but not quite flagship grade.&nbsp;
So, given how good the iQOO 12&rsquo;s cameras were, can we take the liberty of assuming that iQOO 13 has a great camera system too. Sadly, not quite.
The camera sensors have changed on the iQOO 13, and they are a bit of a downgrade, especially that telephoto lens which now has an inferior sensor and no periscope system.
Please watch the video to see camera samples.
The main camera is pretty equally matched on both phones in terms of detail, but realme can be a little inconsistent. For example, in this challenging shot, Realme struggled a bit with dynamic range, and in this second shot, it added a greenish tone to the ambience which wasn't there.
Night mode definitely goes into iQOO&rsquo;s favour because of its better detail and focus, but its tendency to make the night sky blue can be annoying for some.
Both phones take detailed videos but suffer from EIS jitter. iQOO however, performs much better in tricky scenarios.
Telephoto cameras are where things get interesting, because the downgrade on the iQOO 13 versus iQOO 12 is pretty hard to ignore. In fact, in portrait shots it sometimes struggled to focus on the person, which is quite surprising for a Vivo phone.&nbsp;
The iQOO 13 definitely processes light flares better than the GT 7 Pro, but none of the phones were particularly consistent with skin tones.&nbsp;
Also, since there&rsquo;s no periscope on the iQOO 13, its long range zoom is limited to just 30x.&nbsp;
Telephoto footage from both smartphones is not particularly stable, but it is detailed with good dynamic range.
When it comes to ultrawide, the iQOO has a clear advantage with its higher resolution camera. It takes better photos in the day as well as low light. Plus it can also shoot good videos at 4K 60fps, whereas the Realme is capped at 1080p 30fps.&nbsp;
Coming to selfies, the Realme has a 16MP front sensor while the iQOO has a 32MP sensor. I am not particularly fond of any of these cameras, because Realme oversharpened and brightness up every photo, whereas the iQOO does not get the skin tones right.
All things considered, the iQOO 13 still has the better camera system of these two phones. But sadly, the punch above its price magic of the iQOO 12 is just gone. So if a camera phone in this price range is what you want, try grabbing an iQOO 12 while you still can.&nbsp;
iQOO 13 vs Realme GT 7 Pro: Display
Display is one criteria where these two smartphones are pretty different to be honest.&nbsp;
At a glance, both displays are high-end: Realme shines with peak brightness, while iQOO offers a higher refresh rate.&nbsp;
However, the GT 7 Pro&rsquo;s display has peculiar colour reproduction. It just shows bluish tones across all profiles. iQOO&rsquo;s display, on the other hand, stays fairly neutral.
Realme's cooler tones is not an issue in isolation, but its tendency to exaggerate blues becomes obvious when compared to the iQOO.
iQOO 13 vs Realme GT 7 Pro: Battery Life &amp; Charging
Finally, there&rsquo;s battery life and charging. Charging is industry-leading with both phones supporting 120W wired charging and coming with a bundled adapter. But wireless charging is sadly missing on both phones.
Anyway, with or without wireless charging, battery life is pretty amazing on both smartphones. Realme&rsquo;s 5,800mAh and iQOO&rsquo;s 6,000mAh cells will easily give you 9+ hours of screen time with mixed use.
Even with an hour of gaming and about 3-4 hours of watching videos, the screen time hovered around the 7 hour mark on both, which is pretty brilliant.&nbsp;
iQOO 13 vs Realme GT 7 Pro: Verdict
Ultimately, if you want a high-end gaming phone that plays high end titles without dropping frames or heating up, both of these are fantastic options.&nbsp;
However, there is always just one winner, and in this case, it's the iQOO 13. It offers long software support and slightly better cameras than the Realme, but more importantly, it is cheaper by ₹5,000.&nbsp;
Although, knowing Realme, do keep an eye on the GT 7 Pro&rsquo;s price during the New Year sale season.&nbsp;

The Realme GT 6 is a powerful smartphone with a stunning display, fast performance, and fast charging. But is it free from flaws? Read on to find out its pros and cons after six months of use.

Realme GT 6 long-term review: Performance powerhouse even after 6 months?

<h2>The Realme GT 6 is a powerful smartphone with a stunning display, fast performance, and fast charging. But is it free from flaws? Read on to find out its pros and cons after six months of use.</h2>

After nearly six months with the Realme GT 6, it&rsquo;s clear that this phone is a bit of a mixed bag. While there&rsquo;s no denying it&rsquo;s a powerhouse, like any long-term relationship, its quirks begin to stand out over time.&nbsp;
Though the device excels in many areas, it does have its flaws, which we&rsquo;ll break down in this review.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Design&nbsp;</h3>
The GT 6 still feels premium, with its smooth matte silver finish and glossy stripe across the back. That stripe, however, is a total smudge magnet, picking up fingerprints and smears. While the phone does come with a case, the glossy stripe and camera module remain exposed, so it doesn&rsquo;t do much to improve the situation. &nbsp;&nbsp;
At 8.6mm thick, it&rsquo;s not the slimmest phone out there, but the curved edges make it feel comfortable in hand. The camera bump has some heft, and while functional, it lacks any unique flair. Phones like the Realme 13 Pro+ still manage to look sleeker despite being lower in the lineup.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Display and Audio&nbsp;</h3>
This 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED panel is undoubtedly one of the highlights. Colors are vibrant, HDR content pops, and the 120Hz refresh rate makes every interaction buttery smooth. The bezels are razor-thin, and the chin is barely there, giving you an edge-to-edge experience.&nbsp;
Realme claims a peak brightness of 6000 nits, which, let&rsquo;s be real, is more about marketing than practical use. In actual use, it&rsquo;s capped at 1600 nits in High Brightness Mode, which is still plenty bright for outdoor usage.&nbsp;
The optical fingerprint scanner is also fast and reliable, and the stereo speakers are great for bingeing content or casual gaming.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Performance&nbsp;</h3>
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset powering the Realme GT 6 is as fast as it was on day one. From demanding games to multitasking with dozens of apps, the phone consistently delivers a smooth and responsive experience. Playing graphics-intensive games like Call of Duty at 120 fps continues to feel satisfying, with no stutters or frame drops.&nbsp;
However, one long-term observation is its thermal management. While the GT 6 performs well in short bursts, extended gaming sessions often lead to noticeable heat buildup, making the phone somewhat uncomfortable to hold. Over time, this hasn&rsquo;t worsened but hasn&rsquo;t improved either. Realme's updates have helped slightly with optimization, but the heat generation remains an issue. &nbsp;
Interestingly, while it scores over 14 lakh on AnTuTu, it falls slightly behind its more affordable sibling, the GT 6T, which is powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Software and AI Features&nbsp;</h3>
On the software front, our review unit is still running Realme UI 5.0, based on Android 14. While Realme has announced the early access rollout of Realme UI 6.0, powered by the Android 15 beta in India, we&rsquo;ve yet to receive it on our device despite repeated attempts to check for updates.&nbsp;
As it stands, Realme UI 5.0 delivers a smooth and feature-packed experience, but it&rsquo;s not perfect. Bloatware remains an issue, and the relentless app market notifications can be downright annoying. Thankfully, a significant amount of the pre-installed apps can be uninstalled, though it does take some effort.&nbsp;
On the bright side, features like the AI Eraser in the Photos app are genuinely useful, even if they rely on an internet connection to work.&nbsp;
Realme&rsquo;s commitment to software updates isn't too bad either&mdash;three years of major OS updates and an additional year of security patches. This means if you buy the device today, you&rsquo;re set to receive updates up to Android 17 untill 2027 and security support until 2028.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Camera&nbsp;</h3>
Using the cameras over a longer period has reinforced my initial impressions. The 50MP Sony LYT-808 main sensor pulls its weight in most scenarios. Photos come out sharp and detailed, with natural colors and solid dynamic range. Low light performance is commendable, though extreme contrast can trip it up.&nbsp;
The 50MP telephoto lens with 2x zoom is a welcome addition, but the lack of OIS is noticeable. Indoor portraits often struggle with blur, and edge detection can be hit or miss. Outdoors, though, it shines with accurate skin tones and pleasing bokeh effects.&nbsp;
The 8MP ultrawide is fine for casual shots but doesn&rsquo;t bring anything groundbreaking. On the video front, the GT 6 impresses with 4K 60fps recording from the main and telephoto lenses, offering detailed and stable footage.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Battery and Charging &nbsp;</h3>
The 5,500mAh battery consistently delivers, comfortably lasting a full day with mixed use &nbsp;and consistently delivering over 8 hours of screen-on time&nbsp;
What&rsquo;s spoiled me, though, is the 120W fast charging. Going from 0 to 100% in just 30 minutes has been a lifesaver, especially on busy days. The charger&rsquo;s included in the box, which feels like a rare treat these days.&nbsp;
<h3>Realme GT 6: Price and Verdict&nbsp;</h3>
Overall, the Realme GT 6 remains a capable performer. Priced at ₹40,999 on Flipkart at the time of making this video, it offers a solid combination of performance, display quality, and fast charging . For those who prioritize speed, display quality, and fast charging, it&rsquo;s an easy recommendation. &nbsp;
That said, the competition in this price range is fierce. The Poco F6 offers comparable power, and the Realme GT 6T provides much of the same experience for less money. Still, for those who want a reliable all-rounder with flagship touches, the GT 6 holds its ground.&nbsp;
