Oneplus 10R Lite: What will it offer?
It's possible that OnePlus may launch the OnePlus 10R Lite in the Indian market very soon. It has been speculated that the handset in question would be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition that was only recently introduced in China. This is not the first time people are seeing something like this, as the firm previously rebranded the OnePlus Ace as the OnePlus 10R for the Indian market.
Key Features of Oneplus 10R Lite
Design
The Oneplus 10R Lite has a pretty high level of brand awareness due to its striking look. The 10R utilizes a plastic middle frame and a plastic rear cover. The overall grasp is fairly satisfying, and customers have a choice between two colours for the Oneplus 10R Lite: light speed blue and competitive grey. This selection allows customers' aesthetic requirements to be satisfied to a large extent.
When it comes to lightness and thinness, the phone has a thickness of 8.7 millimetres and weighs 205 grams. The camera module section of the Oneplus 10R Lite employs a square matrix with three built-in cameras. In addition, the phone has a weight of 205 grams.

Screen
The Oneplus 10R Lite comes with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. Its screen is made of LCD material featuring a resolution of 1080p. It offers a 6-speed adaptive dynamic frame rate, and has AI intelligence dimming. Additionally, this model is extremely silky and smooth for day-to-day usage.
The support to stream high-definition videos from services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video helps to make up for a few issues. These files make it possible for you to watch your favourite movies in high definition and round out the experience with a powerful speaker.
Therefore, the screen of this latest OnePlus Smartphone may not be the best one available, but it offers the most value for the money by giving a screen of a good quality that is suitable for media consumption, such as viewing movies, playing games, or browsing social media websites.

Camera
This particular kind of smartphone, the Oneplus 10R Lite, has two cameras—one on the front and one on the back. Although the back camera employs a camera module with a "64 Megapixel main camera + 8 Megapixel wide-angle lens + 2 Megapixel macro lens," the front camera only has 16 Megapixels, yet the total image impact is still quite impressive. Xiaofang still supplies you with a few proofs in order to provide you with a deeper comprehension of the camera capabilities that are available in the Oneplus 10R Lite.
Scenes are often rendered in a manner that is accurate thanks to the sensor's color science, which is thankfully not very sophisticated. Even in dim conditions, the main sensor of the smartphone does a respectable job of preserving the details of the scene. Having said that, the graininess of the images is quite noticeable, particularly when the night mode was used.
The cameras did not have a dynamic range that was sufficient. The photographs that have been provided seem to have a tone that is fairly warm. Sometimes the tone makes the overall appearance of the photographs seem better, while other times, it makes it look worse. In low light, the contrast becomes more pronounced. To keep the same level of quality in photographs shot during the night, further attention is required. With the main camera, users are able to capture movies with maximum quality of 1080p at a frame rate of 30 fps.

Performance
The Oneplus 10R Lite is powered by a processor known as the Dimensity 8100-MAX, which is essentially a modified version of the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC. As was said previously, the processor has already been included in the OnePlus Ace and the OnePlus 10R that are sold in India. On the software side, the phone comes preinstalled with Android 12.0-based ColorOS 12.1, which is the default operating system. The system supports up to 12 GB of random-access memory (RAM) and 256 GB of storage onboard.
The Oneplus 10R Lite has exceptional overall performance when compared to other mobile devices. A comprehensive frame rate assessment was performed on each of them. The mobile game has an average frame rate of 59.7 frames per second.
The Oneplus 10R Lite is supported by the MTK frame stabilization strategy and the GPA stabilization strategy of the HyperBoost game frame stabilization engine. Both of these strategies are intended to improve the overall quality of the gaming experience. The performance is excellent overall.

Battery
The Oneplus 10R Lite has a battery with 5,000 mAh capacity and is capable of wired fast charging at 65 watts.
When the battery is completely depleted, it can be charged to 20 percent in five minutes, and the battery can be charged to 76 percent in thirty minutes. The final remaining battery capacity was measured by IGeekPhone to be 52 percent after it was subjected to a heavy endurance test that lasted for five hours.

Infinix Hot 12 Review: Is it a good budget Smartphone?
When it comes to entry-level devices, the market today is now more saturated than ever. This is also the price range that offers the most value for money as brands compete to get a slight edge over the other. Infinix has been one of the top performers in the budget segment mainly because of its aggressive price and better-than-budget specs. The brand launched its Infinix Hot 12 series on 26th April 2022 in Bangladesh. Here is a quick rundown of the specs and performance of Hot 12. Stay with us to ultimately decide whether to go for it or not.
Key Specifications of Infinix Hot 12
Design and Build Quality
The design and the build quality are the most compromised section of a budget series device. From generic design to poor build quality and material, the story is somewhat similar across brands. While the Infinix Hot 12 doesn’t completely overhaul the design elements, the four vertical sensors over a rectangular base feel like a refined iPhone 12 design.
Read Vivo X80 Pro 5G Review: Is it a reasonable flagship Smartphone?
The back and the frame of the device are made from plastic. But the refractive frosted finish and brushed chrome coating on the frame give it metal and glass back look. Of course, users will be able to tell right away after they hold the device, but aesthetically, it looks much more premium than its price.
Moving on to the ports and button selection, everything is as usual and expected from a budget device. The sim tray supports a dual sim and a standalone micro SDXC slot for extra memory. The headphone jack is retained here as well which is a common sight in the budget segment.
A fast charge supporting Type-C port is also present here. What impressed me here is the dual loudspeaker. The bottom and the upper mount speaker together produce great sound at a loud pitch. The fingerprint sensor here is side-mounted on the power button. Like the previous iterations, the fingerprint scanner is also lighting fast and accurately.
Read Motorola Moto G22 Review: Is it a worthy budget phone?
Overall, the design of the Hot 12 is nothing out of the ordinary, and neither is its build quality. But a lot of little refinements over the previous generations add up together to make a compelling smartphone at a very aggressive price.
Display
The display might be a bit of a letdown for most people. When it is said that the Infinix Hot 12 is a budget device and aggressively priced, users need to understand that it is still on the upper spectrum of prices in this segment. As a result, there are a lot of equivalents and lower competition in the market.
Therefore, to see Infinix go for a 720P IPS LCD panel was a letdown. Especially when devices like Redmi 10 and Redmi Note 11 are providing better panels at a lower or equivalent price.
Read OnePlus 10R Review: Is it a worthy Midrange Flagship Killer?
The only saving grace here is the 90 Hz refresh rate. Other than that, there’s nothing much to talk about the display. The colors look good for a 720P LCD panel. Color shifts aren’t also that noticeable unless viewed from an extreme angle. Overall, this is a passable display. But the expectation was a bit more from Infinix here.
Camera
Flipping the phone over, there are 4 lens cutouts in the camera housing of the device. But don’t let that fool you as there are only 3 sensors at the back. The extra one is just for design purposes.
Moving into the sensors themselves, the main one is a 13 MP wide-angle shooter with an f/1.8 aperture and autofocus. There’s nothing special about the main sensor here as this is a common sensor in the budget category. The other two sensors are an unrated 2 MP camera along with a VGA shooter. Needless to say, the latter two sensors won’t be of much use day-to-day, or of any use for that matter.
Read Infinix Note 12 Review: Is it worth buying?
Speaking of the camera quality of the device, it’s on par with the similar 13 MP shooter in this price range. Pictures appear bright and sharp in direct sunlight but the performance disappears in low light conditions. Pictures look grainy with a lot of noise in them. The videography of the back camera is rated at 1080P at 30 fps.
The front camera is a generic 8 MP one. There’s nothing special about this sensor as well other than the dual flashlight it comes with.
Processor and Performance
The chipset used in the Infinix Hot 12 is MediaTek Helio G85 built on the 12 nm architecture. At this same price point, competitors are offering Snapdragon 680 or G88 from MediaTek. So, this is another aspect where Infinix could have done better.
Read Walton Primo GH11 Review: The Ultra Budget Device Made in Bangladesh
The processor onboard has an octa-core 2 2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 and 6 1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 chip design with Mali-G52 MC2 GPU.
Speaking of the performance of the chip, it’s moderate at best. Day-to-day tasks run smoothly without any lag whatsoever. We tried playing 3D games like PUBG which also ran pretty smoothly in a medium graphics setting. But the device does tend to become hot after some time of continuous gaming.
One noticeable issue however is the XOS 10.6 based on Android 12. The OS itself is filled with bloatware and will eventually bog down the performance of the device.
Read Xiaomi Redmi 10c Review: Can this budget phone fulfil users’ needs?
Battery and Charge Time
The Infinix Hot 12 comes with a 5000 mAh battery with 18 W fast charging. On casual days, users can expect to churn out about 5 to 6 hours of continuous usage.
Price of Infinix Hot 12
The Infinix Hot 12 has been officially launched in Bangladesh in two variants – 4GB/128GB and 6/128GB variants. The price of the former is 14,499 BDT while the latter is available for 15,699 BDT.
Verdict
The price of the Hot 12 positions in the higher quadrant among the entry-level devices. but other than the design and the build quality, the device fails to impress. Especially when compared with similar offerings from other brands. There is a lot of work to be done on the camera front. And Infinix could’ve definitely included a better display panel and processor.
Read Samsung Galaxy A23 4G: Can it uphold the reputation of ancestors?
Hot 12 comes with some good features like nice design, smart look, better sound quality, standard refresh rate, type C-port, big battery, fast charging mechanism, etc.
Overall, Infinix Hot 12 can be a good choice for casual usage. Senior citizens can use it or youngsters can keep it as an additional phone. However, there are definitely better options out there at this price point.

Vivo X80 Pro 5G Review: Is it a reasonable flagship Smartphone?
Vivo is a China-based multinational tech company that is best known for its smartphones. The company rose to prominence with its camera phones which propelled them to the top 10 phone makers in the world in 2015. Vivo currently has several lineups with the X series being their top-of-the-line flagship offerings. The company launched their latest Vivo X80 Pro 5G on 29th April 2022 globally. Here’s a detailed take on the device so that users can decide whether to go for it or not.
Key Specifications of Vivo X80 Pro 5G
Design and Build Quality
Before diving into the details of the Vivo X80 Pro 5G, it's important to note that this is a through and through camera phone. Vivo has done some next-level stuff here which will be discussed in detail later.
The X80 Pro completely resembles the X70 Pro with its matte black finish and an almost one-third-spaced camera housing on the back. The most obvious change is the module itself. Now the camera comes in a circular module whereas the X70 Pro had a vertical setup. But the base of the camera remains the same ceramic rectangular design.
Read: Motorola Moto G22 Review: Is it a worthy budget phone?
The stainless-steel frame and the overall matte finish exudes premium quality in the device. All the buttons and ports are as usual. Users won’t be getting any headphone jack just like the X70 Pro. There isn’t any micro SDXC support so users will have to choose between 256 GB or the 512 GB option.
The under-display fingerprint is a 3D ultrasonic sensor now. Vivo has perfected the ultrasonic tech to give a lightning-fast response. At about 215 gm and 6.48-inch in height, this is not a small phone by any means. But the premium design, material, and overall finish definitely put it among the top.
The Display
The best thing about Vivo X80 Pro is that the brand has tried to incorporate something groundbreaking in every department. The display also got a little upgrade which is worth talking about. The panel itself is an LTPO3 AMOLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 2K resolution, HDR10+ support, and 1500 nits brightness.
Read: Vivo T1 Pro 5G Review: Does it offer value for money?
The specialty here is the E5 technology used in the panel. The E5 tech allows the device to significantly reduce power consumption. On average, a 2K AMOLED panel with a high-power chipset can last about 4 to 5 hours of continuous usage. But the E5 tech allows to stretch that to up to 6 to 7 hours.
Moving on to the performance, it's as expected from a high-end display. The colors look sharp and crisp with 1B color support. The viewing angles of the panel are excellent and the 1500 nits offer perfect outdoor visibility. Overall, be it for casual use or media consumption, this device is guaranteed to offer a phenomenal experience.
The Camera
The camera system on the X80 Pro is the highlight of the entire device. The quad-camera setup has a 50 MP main lens, 48 MP ultrawide, 12 MP telephoto, and an 8 MP periscope for those ultra-zoom shots. Needless to say, each lens is more than capable of its purposes.
Read: OnePlus 10R Review: Is it a worthy Midrange Flagship Killer?
The main lens has been changed to Samsung’s new GNV sensor. In addition to OIS and PDAF, Vivo actually included a physical micro gimbal in the main sensor. Such camera techs are unheard of before. The front camera is the same 32 MP sensor found in the X70 Pro. Vivo could improve the selfie sensor.
It is important to note that Vivo has collaborated with Zeiss for the post-processing and color rendition on the X80 Pro and the partnership delivers. Zeiss incorporated their T lens coating and pixel shift technology along with luts support. Yes, the same luts that are used in Lightroom or After Effects are now present in the stock camera app of the X80 Pro.
All of these features bring out a scintillating result. There really isn’t any drawback to the camera here. The cinematic mode, ultra-zoom, portrait mode, oval bokeh, and even the night mode – everything exceeded the level of expectation. Part of the post-processing development can be attributed to the new V1 chip that Vivo included specifically for photo and video post-processing. Overall, this is a camera system that is easily the new standard to beat for all the competitors out there.
Read Infinix Note 12 Review: Is it worth buying?
Processor and Performance
Depending on the market, the Vivo X80 Pro will come with either MediaTek Dimensity 9000 or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. Both of these are similarly powered processors built on the 4 Nm architecture. The octa-core design of the Snapdragon is expected to be 1x3.05 GHz Cortex-A78 and 3x2.6 GHz Cortex-A78 and 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55.
In addition to being powerful, the 4 Nm architecture offers incredible efficiency at a fraction of the power consumption. The device absolutely blazes through everything that is thrown at it. Whether it's 3D games or casual social media browsing, this device will perform with equal dexterity. Depending on the region, the device will either run the Android 12, or Funtouch 12 or Origin OS Ocean. However, many users have complained about bloatware in its OS. And, its UI shows Ads which irritates the users.
Battery and Charge Time
The Vivo X80 Pro has a 4700 mAh battery which supports 80W fast charging. The fast charger comes in the box and it can take the device from 0 to 100% in just 38 minutes.

Price of Vivo X80 Pro 5G
The official release price of the Vivo X80 Pro 5G in India is 79,999 Rs for the base model (256GB/8GB). That means the price in the Bangladeshi market should be around 90,784 BDT (1 INR = 1.13 BDT). But the price may differ in the local market depending on various factors.
Verdict
X80 Pro is the flagship standard of the company. It is the culmination of the breakthrough tech the company has developed over the years. The X80 Pro absolutely shines in almost every department be it the display, camera, or battery. This phone offers a powerful processor (MediaTEk Dimensity 9000), Android 12 OS, great speaker performance, and sturdy build quality.
However, this device is not free from drawbacks. It shows a somewhat overheating problem. The front camera comes with the similar specs like ancestor X70 Pro. It could have been improved. The price seems a bit high. The users might experience bloatware in its OS and ads in UI. Overall, if you are looking for a Vivo phone promising proper premium flagship experience, consider Vivo X80 Pro 5G.

Motorola Moto G22 Review: Is it a worthy budget phone?
In recent days, some Moto G phones ask for similar prices to iPhones. But the Moto G series was initially targeted at users looking for low-budget phones offering great features. Motorola Moto G22 inherits the original Moto G idea. Motorola released Moto G22 on April 8 in India. For a less budget, this latest Motorola phone offers a sleek design, clean stock Android 12 software, great battery life, and a capable camera. However, like any other budget phone, Moto G22 has some caveats. Let's check out the pros, cons, and price of the Motorola Moto G22.
Key Features of Motorola Moto G22
Design
There are no major surprises in the Moto G22's appearance or feel. The company has a history of producing some of the most reassuringly robust budget phones on the market, and that tradition continues here.
Although the structure is entirely made of plastic, it does not feel cheap or tacky. The frame features a beautiful split angle, and the back cover has a glass-like gloss. It does, however, take up fingerprints very quickly.

Our test model is Cosmic Black, although Iceberg Blue and Pearl White varieties are also available if you want to make a bigger impression. For such low-cost phones, users should prefer the sneaky approach.
With distinct dimensions of 163.95 x 74.94 x 8.49mm, this phone is huge. However, it has almost the same size as a typical flagship phone and weighs 185 grams less.
The Moto G22 is described as "water-resistant," although there is no IP classification to back up this claim. To be honest, its presence at this pricing can shock users a little.

The Moto G22's display is a huge 6.5 inches in size, and it can be stretched to an astounding (for the price) 90Hz refresh rate if you enable it in the Settings menu. But that's about the extent of the goodwill.
For starters, it's an LCD display rather than the OLED seen in the Moto G31, so it's a tad washed out. Worse, it doesn't get very bright at all. Even in shady indoor settings, users can keep it set to full or almost full the whole time and could have used more.
With a resolution of 1600 x 720 (HD+ or 720p), its screen isn't very crisp. It seems to be pretty clear in normal navigation, but compare it to a conventional 1080p competitor, and you'll notice the difference, particularly with site material and photographs. Let's face it; this phone will be used for a lot of different things.

Other than that, although the presence of a 90Hz option is great for the money, it means little when the performance is so bad. More on this later. However, this gadget has a high shutter count. Simply said, a 60Hz OLED makes much more sense on such basic technology than a 90Hz LCD.
Camera
The Moto G22 has a quad-sensor camera system, but only two of them are noteworthy: a 50-megapixel f/1.8 wide camera and an 8-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide camera. The other two slots are taken up by a 2-megapixel macro and a 2-megapixel depth sensor, both of which will be of little use to most users.
It seems to be the same setup as the Moto G31, but with the addition of the depth sensor. This means you get a perfectly decent primary camera that uses a 4-to-1 pixel-binning technology to generate pretty crisp 12.5-megapixel images.

If you give this sensor a lot of light, it will generate attractive results. On brighter components, there's a touch of overexposure, but overall, the auto-HDR does a good job of balancing light and shadow, and Motorola's colour science doesn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Lower illumination circumstances, on the other hand, make the Moto G22 struggle. While there is a Night setting, it produces images with so much noise that you'll give up trying to record your nights before long.
The Moto G22, unlike the Moto G50, has an ultra-wide camera, which is a plus. Of course, the tone is considerably colder and flatter than the findings from the primary sensor, and there's significantly less detail; but that's to be expected from a cheap gadget.

There's also a 16-megapixel selfie camera on the front, which, in ideal lighting, may produce acceptable photos. HDR struggles in bright regions - but it gets the job done.
Performance and Software
The Moto G22's fatal weakness may be its performance, which is seeking to compete with the finest affordable phones. The phone is supported by a MediaTek Helio G37 processor, which falls short of the remainder of Motorola's current budget portfolio.
The Moto G22 fails to sustain the advertised 90Hz display refresh rate once started, with numerous halts and stutters even while browsing between home screens and applications and even between menus, as previously mentioned.

This awful baseline performance is backed up by some dreadful benchmark results. A Geekbench 5 score of 171 single-core and 943 multi-core falls well short of competitors costing just a few dollars more.
In terms of graphics, the Moto G22 isn't very outstanding. The phone couldn't even perform 3DMark's Wild Life test, and it only got 460 in the Slingshot Extreme test. In contrast, the Nokia G50 had a score of 2462. For Genshin Impact, a notoriously demanding GPU test, the game's settings were set to Low, yet it was still unusable. Even lowering those settings to Lowest resulted in enormous big stops in action.

It's worth noting that the software condition on the Moto G22 has nothing to do with these performance difficulties. One of the phone's primary strengths is its user interface.
There are no issues with the Moto G22's other specifications, which include 4GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. With a microSD card reader, you may increase storage by up to 1TB.
Battery and Charging
You can depend on a Moto G phone to give excellent endurance in addition to competitive cost, good build quality, and clean software. The Moto G22 doesn't disappoint, thanks to a 5000mAh battery and a dull 720p display.

With more than 50% in the tank, users will be able to go through a full day of usage with 90Hz active and roughly 3hrs 30mins of screen-on time. Users can make it through a second day if they don’t anticipate it being especially demanding.
Price of Moto G22 in Bangladesh
The Motorola Moto G22 has been released with 6GB RAM in the UK at GBP 139.99 or BDT 15,422. The conversion rate here is 1 GBP = 110.16 BDT. However, the official price of Motorola Moto G22 in Bangladesh may vary due to tax and other issues.
Verdict
Motorola Moto G22 is a budget Android phone that looks fantastic for the money and has good battery and camera capabilities, but it's let down by poor performance and a dim 720p LCD display. Considering the Moto G22's camera and battery life are good considering its low price. However, investing a little extra money will give you a far more fluid experience.

Vivo T1 Pro 5G Review: Does it offer value for money?
Vivo, a renowned Chinese smartphone manufacturer, has unveiled the Vivo T1 Pro 5G smartphone to compete in the mid-range smartphone market. The first impression of the T1 Pro is favourable, and the camera output seems to be of high quality. Here is a comprehensive evaluation of the latest Vivo smartphone in order to address the aforementioned question and assist you in deciding whether or not to purchase the brand-new Vivo device.
Key Features of Vivo T1 Pro 5G
Design
Starting with the design, you will be blown away by the Vivo T1 Pro's stunning appearance as soon as you take it out of the box. Despite its regular gradient blue colour, the Vivo T1 Pro 5G enters the ranks of attractive phones. The phone's back panel has a gleaming finish that shimmers in the light, giving it a funky appearance.
A large and bold camera module rests proudly on the back cover, coupled with an LED flash. The phone is made of plastic, yet it is dust and scratch-resistant, giving it a nice and tidy appearance.

The phone features curved corners and a matte finish, making it comfortable to use. The phone is small and portable, which will appeal to you if you are not a huge lover of large phones. The phone comes in two colours: Turbo Black and Cyan Tide, and the Cyan Tide one.
On the right side of the smartphone, there is a power button and a volume rocker, whereas the left side has nothing. The sensor is rather sensitive, and you can unlock the smartphone using face recognition or an in-display fingerprint sensor.
The phone's SIM slot is located on the bottom, along with a speaker grille and a USB Type-C connector. There is no 3.5 mm audio jack on the phone. Despite its 4700 mAh battery, the phone is extremely small and comfortable to hold.

Display
The T1 Pro 5G has a 6.44inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a respectable 90 Hz refresh rate. A greater refresh rate of 120HZ may have been provided by the mobile phone carrier. The display is smooth and responsive, making it ideal for playing high-octane games and for viewing movies and video content on your phone. It has excellent colours, sharpness, and brightness.
The display boasts a great 20:9 aspect ratio and a DCI P3 colour gamut of 100%. On top of that, the phone features an SGS Eye Care Display certification, which means you can binge-watch for hours without straining your eyes.
Camera
On the back, the Vivo T1 Pro 5G has a triple camera configuration with a 64-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. A 16-megapixel camera is available for selfies.

The 64-megapixel main camera excels at capturing fine details and has a wide dynamic range. Its big f/1.79 aperture delivers plenty of details even in low-light situations. A Super Night Mode denoises photos while adding light softly to nighttime photographs.
The 8MP ultra-wide camera is also rather good. It has a 117-degree field of vision. However, it produces soft details, and there is a colour shift in photographs taken by ultra-wide cameras compared to those taken by standard cameras.
In terms of selfie cameras, skin colour reproduction might be better. Panorama mode, portrait mode, and Slow-mo are just a few of the features that make the phone a good choice for social content makers. In portrait mode, you may experiment with various filters and styles to spice up your social media postings. The image quality is excellent while utilising the Full Zoom option.

Performance
A Snapdragon 778G 5G octa-core processor with Kryo 670 CPU cores powers the phone. Despite being a year old, it's an energy-efficient CPU capable of extending the 4700mAh battery's life and providing well-optimised performance.
The same A73 5G CPU can be found in the iQOO Z6 Pro. It performs well in everyday tasks and most games run at high visual settings. You will have no problems playing BGMI and Call of Duty for a few minutes.
The gadget has Ultra Game Mode, as well as a calibrated Z-axis linear motor and 4D Game Vibration for a more immersive gaming experience. You can also use picture and video editing software like Canva, which worked well.

You can enjoy binge-watching web series and movies since there was no latency even after many hours of use. The gadget also holds true to its boast of having 8 layers of liquid cooling since it never got hot. It is undoubtedly one of the greatest processors in this price range.
Battery
A large 4700mAh battery powers the phone. It provides an excellent battery backup of up to a day on a single charge based on my typical activity, which includes accessing the internet, viewing movies or films, attending calls or video chats, browsing social networking applications, and playing games.
Not only that, but the Vivo T1 Pro comes with 66W FlashCharge technology, which allows you to charge your smartphone to 50% in only 25 minutes.

Price of Vivo T1 Pro 5G
The Vivo T1 Pro has been released with 6GB RAM and 8GB Ram in India at INR 23,999 (BDT 27129) and INR 24,999 (BDT 28259) respectively. The conversion rate here is 1 INR = 1.13 BDT. However, the price may change due to tax and other issues after the official release in Bangladesh.
Verdict
Vivo T1 Pro 5G excels in appearance and performance but falls short in terms of battery charging time, audio setup, and night photography.
120 Hz refresh rate could make it a better deal. It has no dual/stereo speakers which is available in many contemporary low budget phones. Though being a mid range phone, the T1 Pro lacks an ultrawide sensor, which is surprising. Its low charging speed and lack of dust/water resistance can be a deal breaker for those who stay outdoors for long hours. It does not provide NFC support.

T1 Pro supports a 5G connection. The display quality is also commensurate with the cost. If you want a phone with a trendy design, adequate performance, and a high-quality selfie camera, then you may consider Vivo T1 Pro 5G.
