Realme P2 Pro 5G launched in India as a solid midrange offering

0

Realme just launched a new midrange phone that comes packed with flagship-like features. This article will delve into the details of Realme P2 Pro 5G including its expected price in Nepal.

Realme P2 Pro 5G Overview

Design and Display

The Realme P2 Pro 5G comes in what the company dubs “BioVision Design”. Realme has overused its marketing jargon and the message they were trying to convey has become a bit convoluted. However, trying to make sense of it, it appears the phone has grooves across its back panel that shimmer when exposed to light. Furthermore, it appears the P2 Pro has vegan leather on its back panel as Realme is calling it “Bionic texture”. As I said earlier, it is a bit unclear what they are trying to say. Regardless, this phone features an IP65 rating, shock-absorbing ArmorShell Protection, and ships in Parrot Green and Eagle Grey colours.

Realme P2 Pro 5G Design

On the front, it has a curved OLED screen that stretches 6.7 inches and spans FHD+ in resolution. It also features a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, a touch sampling rate of 240Hz, and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. The Realme P2 Pro 5G is also capable of 20,000 levels of brightness adjustments and up to 2,000 Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate. It can display 1.07 billion colours while covering 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut. Additionally, Rainwater Smart Touch support is available. This feature allows the phone to be used in rainy environments as it can negate the water droplets on the screen and recognise intentional touch commands.

Performance

For performance, the Realme P2 Pro 5G taps into the power of Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. This chipset was launched just launched last year and comes in 4nm fabrication and peaks at 2.4GHz. Moreover, the phone packs either 8GB or 12GB memory and a choice between 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage. Users can virtually extend the RAM on this phone by an additional 12GB as well. Unfortunately, there is no option for storage expansion. It packs a large 5,200 mAh battery with 80W SUPERVOOC charging support. All this hardware is kept cool by a nine-layer cooling structure complete with a 4,500 mm2 vapour chamber and stainless steel heat dissipating unit.

Realme P2 Pro 5G CPU Tuning

The Realme P2 Pro 5G boots on Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14 and offers some nifty software features. Firstly, this phone comes with “GT Mode” which allows you to manually control the CPU performance and load up the game faster. It also allows you to mess around with your voice in the game. Then there is “Air Gestures” which lets you navigate through the phone without touching it. Similarly, “Microsoft Phonelink” provides an ecosystem-like seamlessness with your computer that runs on Windows. Furthermore, there are other minor features like “App Cloner” and “File Dock” for users’ convenience.

Camera and the rest

This phone’s optics side of things isn’t a sleeper either. It has a 50MP OIS camera coupled with the Sony LYT-600 sensor acting as the primary shooter. It is assisted by an 8MP ultrawide lens. On the front, it has a 32MP sensor for selfies. The Realme P2 Pro 5G comes with an AI HyperRAW Algorithm as well as an AI Smart Removal feature.

Infinix Zero 40 5G Review: It’s got some appeal!

0

Infinix’s GT series of smartphones have proved to be the best price-to-performance phones in the market. While in case you do not know, this Chinese brand also has Zero Series which is more into cosmetics and cameras. I have had this Infinix Zero 40 5G for the past two weeks as my daily driver and I have to say, this guy does pack some punch. And here’s my Infinix Zero 40 5G review.

Before heading forward, let’s take a quick look at the specs.

Infinix Zero 40 5G Specifications

  • Display: 6.78 inches, 3D-curved AMOLED, 144Hz, FHD+ (1080×2400), 1300 nits (peak), Corning Gorilla Glass Protection
  • Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate 5G chipset, Arm Mali-G610
  • Memory: 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB Storage
  • Software & UI: Android 14, 3 years of security patch updates
  • Rear Camera:
    • Main: 108 MP with OIS
    • Ultra-Wide: 50 MP, 120-degree field of view
    • Video Recording: 4K at 30FPS
  • Front Camera:
    • Resolution: 50 MP
    • Video Recording: 4K at 60FPS
  • Battery: 5000 mAh
    • Wired Fast Charging: 45W
    • Wireless Fast Charging: 20W
  • Colors: Violet Garden, Blossom Glow, Misty Aqua colors
  • Special Features: GoPro Mode
  • Price in Nepal (Expected): NPR 55,999 (12/256GB)

Infinix Zero 40 5G Review:

Elegant Design

  • Design: Dual-tone design with curved panels and slim frames
  • Dimensions: 164.3 x 74.8 x 7.9 mm
  • Weight: 195 grams

The most appealing part of the Infinix Zero 40 5G is its design, of course. This thing is elegant to look at from every angle. The rear panel is made up of glass and it blends really well with the circular camera module on this Violent Garden shade. What’s more admirable is the hands-on feel here. We have a curved middle frame frame here alongside a curved display upfront and it’s way easier to hold than a phone with boxy flat frames. And Infinix has provided a back cover with a wireless charging magnet.

Display

  • 6.78” AMOLED panel, 144Hz refresh rate, 1300 nits High peak brightness
  • FHD+ (1080 x 2400)

Infinix Zero 40 5G

Flipping to the front, the 6.78-inch AMOLED panel is equally beautiful with curved sides and no accidental touches, by the way! It’s got a fast 144Hz refresh rate, yeah, even faster than the typical 120Hz, we get in other midrange phones. And the 144Hz works pretty well across the system while some third-party apps get capped at 120Hz. But it’s not an issue, by any means. If you care about battery though, you should go for the auto-refresh rate settings.

Be it for day-to-day reels and TikTok scrolling, this panel is delightful with punchy colors and vibrancy. Also, it is complemented by a pair of dual stereo speakers, tuned by JBL! And the output is decent, not that great, I would say. Also, pair that with weaker haptics. Infinix should have gone for stronger haptics here.

Performance

  • OS & UI: Android 14 with XOS14 on top
  • Chipset: Octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate (4nm)

Running the show on the core is the Dimensity 8200 “Ultimate” SoC. Which is actually a powerful chip thanks to its tri-cluster architecture. You get one Cortex A78 core at 3.1GHz, three Cortex A78 cores at 3.0GHz, and four Cortex A55 cores at 2.0GHz. And in real-world usage, this chip is snappy and fast with no hiccups at all. Be it normal social media usage or some gaming, it can handle the job well with its 12GB of RAM. Likewise, the internal storage is also a fast UFS 3.1 storage.

What about gaming?

So, let’s get to the gaming front, shall we? Okay, I tried everyone’s favorite PUBG on this guy but let me be the bearer of the sad news. Guess what, despite having a 144Hz panel, you don’t get 90 or 120fps on PUBG here. So, you are capped at 60 frames but at up to HDR graphics. And talking of the score, it makes it easy with a 59.3 fps average fps with not much heating. The same goes for Mobile Legends Bang Bang, with a 59fps median score.

Infinix Zero 40 5G Gaming

And Geshin Impact on Medium + 60fps also ran at 59fps median and 50fps at 99% percentile. But the temperature went pretty hot at almost 45 degrees.

How’s the XOS 14?

  • OS and UI: Android 14 with XOS 14 on top

One thing that still lacks a bit of the charm is the software side. It is superbly feature-rich with all of the fancy customizations and some extra features. But the UI elements still lack charm, at least for me. Otherwise, as aforementioned, the customizations and extra features are more than enough for an Android fan.

Infinix Zero 40 5G Android 14

Camera

As the Zero Series particularly emphasizes the camera aspects, let’s talk about it. This guy has a main 108MP sensor with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 2MP depth sensing unit. Upfront, there is a 50MP selfie unit.

Daylight

The 108MP primary camera clicks decent-looking images in the daylight. However, it tends to brighten up the entire scene which goes into its favor in some images and doesn’t in others. But when it comes to close-ups, the colors look nice and warm.

Ultrawide

Talking of the ultrawide images, they are great. This 50MP res camera does click nice images with some amount of detail. The colors are eye-pleasing with contrasty looks.

Portraits

Coming to the portraits, the 1X portraits are nice and clear while the 2X ones are in-sensor zoomed with a bit fewer details and more contrasty outputs in some conditions.

Lowlight

The low-light images are just on the average side, I would say. Turning on the low-light mode can make it a bit better but I have seen better low-light takers in this price range, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 and Realme Narzo 70 Pro.

Selfies

When it comes to selfies, the 50MP snapper clicks decent images, nothing exceptional.  Overall a 3.8/5 rating on selfies!

Videography

This guy lets you shoot 4K 30fps from three cameras: Main, Ultrawide, and Selfie. A one of the kind in the segment! By default, the stabilization option is turned off, so, you have to tap on it and activate the EIS to enjoy some stabilization. By default settings, expect some jitters.

Talking of the actual quality, the details are not that exceptional but let’s say it ticks the decent mark. Other than that, there are some fun vlog modes to play with, as well as a dedicated GoPro Mode that can provide live previews and some camera controls for your GoPro Hero cameras.

Battery and Charging

Fueling the Infinix Zero 40 5G is a 5000mAh battery backed up by a 45W charger. And Infinix ships a compatible one right inside the box. What’s more interesting here is that you get three modes— low-temp, smart, and hyper, which chronologically increase the charging speed. So, you can just set your desired mode as per your requirements. And it also supports wireless charging, up to 20 watts! The company is not generous enough to provide a magnetic coil on this one, so, I had to borrow a wireless pad from the much cheaper Infinix Note 40 and it works, unsurprisingly!

Talking of the battery life, this guy can last you a day easily with moderate usage such as social media, a couple of matches of PUBG, phone calls, and some photography. Or if you are a light user, expect a day and a half battery life but at an auto-refresh rate setting. If you go on to stick with the 144Hz refresh rate-only mode, the battery life will be depleted for obvious reasons.

And yeah, one more thing— there is bypass charging mode which comes in pretty handy while gaming. It directly provides power to the phone’s motherboard instead of charging the phone and gaining more heat.

Infinix Zero 40 5G Review: Conclusion

Okay wrapping things up, the Infinix Zero 40 5G is a good overall package if you consider the price. I mean, the design is premium, the display is great with a 144Hz refresh rate and the camera is super decent if not the best! Also, XOS is feature-rich, although, I would like it a bit more refined on the UI elements side.

And the other thing is, that it can work on optimizing the main camera as this phone has a capable sensor and chipset alike!

Infinix Zero 40 5G Review: Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Good value for money
  • Smooth 144Hz OLED display
  • Powerful performance
  • Elegant Design

Cons

  • Tends to heat while intensive gaming
  • UI elements can be more refined
  • Average haptics

Samsung Galaxy M05 is here — a bit different looking Galaxy A05, that’s about it

0

Samsung just launched a new addition to the M-series in India which is pretty much a repackaging of the Galaxy A05 — the predecessor of the Galaxy A06, which went live in Nepal just a few days ago. Let’s discuss the Samsung Galaxy M05 further in this article, including its expected price in Nepal.

Samsung Galaxy M05 Overview

Design and Display

There isn’t much to talk about regarding the design of Samsung phones these days. The company has settled with the “Signature Galaxy” and applies the same blueprint across the board. While that may be true, there are nuances to separate their different offerings. In this case, the Samsung Galaxy M05 takes a monotone approach with a slightly grainy/glittery-ish finish. In contrast, its A-series counterpart has linear patterns on the back. Furthermore, it is available in a single colour only i.e. Light Blue.

Samsung Galaxy M05 Design

The front of the Samsung Galaxy M05 is the same as the A05. Given that, it dons a 6.74-inch PLS LCD panel. It stretches HD+ in resolution and offers a standard 60Hz refresh rate and colour depth of 16 million.

Performance

Under the hood, it packs the MediaTek Helio G85 processor with eight cores, 12nm fabbing, and a peak frequency of 2.0GHz. The Samsung Galaxy M05 ships in a single configuration of 4GB memory and 64GB storage. The storage is nowhere near enough by the 2024 standard, that’s why the South Korean tech giant has equipped this phone with a MicroSD card slot with up to 1TB support. You also get an option to expand the memory by an additional 4GB virtually.

Samsung Galaxy M05 OS Update

Software-wise, the Samsung Galaxy M05 boots on OneUI 6.0 based on Android 14. Moreover, it will receive two years of OS updates and four years of security patches.

Camera and the rest

In terms of cameras, the Samsung Galaxy M05 carries three units. The primary of which is a 50MP shooter. It is coupled with a 2MP depth sensor at the back. Meanwhile, it has an 8MP snapper on the front which doubles down as a face scanner. Likewise, the fingerprint scanner is integrated into the power button for additional biometrics.

Samsung Galaxy M05 Camera

Powering everything is a 5,000 mAh battery, which is in contrast to the 6,000 mAh capacity the M-series usually gets. However, it is not totally surprising shift either because the highest offering of the series — Galaxy M55 also packs a 5,000 mAh cell. This phone supports charging of up to 25W through the USB 2.0 Type-C interface. The Samsung Galaxy M05 also comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
