OnePlus 10R Review: Is it a worthy Midrange Flagship Killer?
Since their merger with Oppo, OnePlus steadily ventured into the mid-range market with their Nord series. Fast forward to 2022, OnePlus has lined up a mid-range successor to their flagship 10 Pro. The phone is officially known as the OnePlus 10R globally. But the Chinese variant comes with the OnePlus Ace branding. The device officially launched globally on 4th May 2022.
The company has long since lost its flagship killer title as it focused on the premium segment. But will the likes of 10R be able to revive that title for the Chinese brand? Let's find out.
Key Features of OnePlus 10R
Design and Build Quality
The design of the OnePlus 10R is unlike any other previous device from the company. OnePlus is notoriously known for experimenting with the design with each iteration of its flagships. The same has trickled down to their entry-level device as well.

The device itself is a plastic built one with the frame and the back both sporting frosted plastic. However, the back features a dual-tone with the right side being frosted and the left side having a vertical texture under the camera module.
The OnePlus logo has also moved from the center position to the bottom right corner. The box-like frame can be easily compared with the iPhone 13 series as they both share the same thickness. Overall, the 10R design choice brings a breath of fresh air in a typical OnePlus fashion.
Moving on to the ports and buttons, the right side houses the power button. Unlike the other OnePlus models, the volume rockers are situated on the opposite side of the power button. OnePlus finally removed the headphone jack this time around which was otherwise available on the Nord series.

The bottom of the device features the secondary mic, sim slot, and Type-C port. The sim slot features dual nano sim options and unlike the predecessors, users won’t be able to swap one out for the micro SDXC. The 10R, in all its innovative approach with a few drawbacks still impresses, at least on the design front.
The Display
The OnePlus 10R features a 6.7-inch FHD+ plus display. It is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The panel is completely flat with no curves. Bezels on the panel also shrunk significantly to give a more uniform look all across the surface.
The display is OnePlus’s own version of high AMOLED called Fluid AMOLED. Even though the panel is an FHD+ one, it is still stacked with features that are otherwise reserved for even higher-end panels. There is 1B color with a 120 Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. The HDR10+ will allow the device to stream at an even better quality making it a perfect media consumption device.

The panel can go up to 1200 nits under direct sunlight. Though users will have control of up to 800 nits as the max brightness is triggered by the light sensor. The display also boasts some of the best viewing angles on any smartphone. There’s virtually no color shift whatsoever.
One thing to note is that the device comes with a warmer tone out of the box. Users will be easily able to color calibrate the panel from the settings.
The Camera
The camera on the OnePlus 10R is quite something to look at. It's one thing to move around the camera modules but what OnePlus has done here can only be called a “vertical triangle” setup of the triple sensors.

The main lens is the oversized one which takes much of the center stage. The 8 MP ultrawide and the 2 MP macro shooter finds their place at the foot of the main sensor on the two sides. Speaking of the main sensor, it is a 50 MP f/1.8 lens with PDAF and OIS.
The OIS is a huge addition here as it significantly increases the video stability of the device. The main sensor performs similarly to the Nord 2 with decent color capture and dynamic range. The lens does an excellent job of exposing the subject to different lighting conditions all the while preserving the dynamic range of the shots.
For low light environments, OnePlus has their proprietary night mode which arguably gives iPhone and Samsung a run for their money. In the test, the night mode perfectly captured the subject with the optimum amount of exposure and grain reduction.
Read Vivo X Fold Review: Can it outsmart the other foldable phones?
The selfie camera on the 10R is a 16 MP one. It’s a generic shooter which doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Overall, the camera system on the OnePlus 10R performs just as expected from it.
Processor and Performance
The OnePlus 10R sports MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max. The 8000 series from MediaTek is a lighter version of their 900 range chips. The chipset is based on a 5 Nm architecture with 4 2.85 GHz Cortex-A78 and 4 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 chip configurations. The processor is also coupled with Mali-G610 MC6 GPU.
The choice of going with MediaTek over Snapdragon is understandable even though all the high-end OnePlus devices are powered by Snapdragon. The 10R is after all a mid-range device so cost-cutting also becomes a priority.
Read Xiaomi Redmi 10c Review: Can this budget phone fulfill users’ needs?
Speaking of performance, the 8100-Max processor won’t let users down. The processor can easily run graphics-intensive games at a medium to high setup. There aren’t any lags but a few frames drops here and there. The device does an excellent job at power management. Even after an extended period of gaming, the device doesn’t heat up or lose a significant battery.
So, who is this device for? The 10R can be a perfect choice for anyone looking for a utilitarian phone which can also be used as a light gaming device.
Battery and Charge Time
The OnePlus 10R comes in two variants – one that has a 5000 mAh battery which is the regular version. The other one is a 150W version which has a 4500 mAh battery. The 80W version can go from 0 to 100% in just 32 minutes whereas the 150W version can go from 0 to 100% in just 17 minutes.

Price of OnePlus 10R
The price for the 8/256 GB variant of the OnePlus 10R in the Indian market is 42,999 Rs. The price roughly translates to 48,435 BDT (1 INR = 1.13 BDT). However, in Bangladesh, the official price of the OnePlus 10R is subject to change depending on various factors.
Verdict
The OnePlus 10R is yet another capable device from the brand that has become synonymous with high power performance. Even though the 10R is aimed at the mid-range market, the pricing would justify its position at the upper end of the mid-range category. As a result, some of the choices like a plastic body don’t exactly reflect the premium pricing users will have to pay for the device.
Other than that, the device absolutely shines in the display, camera, and especially the battery department. So, should you buy it? If you are on the lookout for a powerful and reliable android at a less than flagship price, then definitely yes. But if the build quality is your concern, then OnePlus 10R won’t live up to the expectation.

Motorola Edge 30 Review: What’s special about this upper midrange phone?
Motorola has introduced Edge 30, a streamlined version of Edge 30 Pro. The gadget is the successor to the Edge 20, which was previously released. The smartphone has an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 5G processor, a Triple Rear Camera Setup, and a selfie camera lens embedded in the display's punch-hole design. Let's examine the whole list of features, characteristics, and costs of the Motorola Edge 30.
Key Features of Motorola Edge 30
Design
Motorola has opted to diversify its Edge collection after a few years of just offering large mid-range smartphones. The new Edge 30 is smaller than its predecessor, which is excellent news given that last year's gadget was rather large and this year's Edge 30 Pro is also quite large.
Due to this design decision, the Motorola Edge 30 is lighter and feels much more refined, beautiful, and small, despite its attractive appearance and tendency to collect fingerprints. Therefore, you will like the way it feels in your palm, and its simplistic and flat design makes it very traditional, even square.
Read Motorola Moto G52 Review: Is this mid-range budget phone worth buying?
Be cautious, though, since it slips like a wet fish and seems to have its own will and move of its own while resting on shiny and smooth surfaces. If you want ultra-thin and tiny phones, however, the Motorola Edge 30 is the model for you since it is without a doubt one of the thinnest smartphones available.
Display
The Motorola Edge 30 5G has a 6.50-inch, 144Hz pOLED display with a 1080 x 2400-pixel resolution. The front is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, whilst the back and frame are composed of plastic.
The gadget has a thickness of 6.8 mm, so if you want thin devices, this is the one for you. You will also appreciate the design and weight balance, as the device weighs just 155 grams.
Read Infinix Note 12 Review: Is it worth buying?
In addition, Motorola has included Widevine L1 compatibility, allowing you to stream FHD+ video on all OTT platforms. While its brightness is 500 nits, it is pickable.
Motorola should have included 1000 nits of brightness despite the fact that the screen is viewable outdoors and the brightness is quite low.
Motorola has introduced an in-display fingerprint sensor for the first time in the mid-priced sector, and it works flawlessly.
Read Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus Review: Is it worth it?
Cameras
A 50MP main sensor with f/1.8 aperture and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), a 50MP ultrawide angle sensor with f/2.2 aperture, and a 2MP depth sensor with f/2.4 aperture are housed in a square module with an LED flash on the Motorola Edge 30 5G.
In the punch-hole display is a 32 MP Selfie Camera Sensor with an aperture of f/2.4. Both the front and back cameras can capture 4K video at 30 frames per second.
As the smartphone supports OIS, the movies are steady, but Motorola still has room for improvement in the video sector.

There are no problems with the dynamic range or the level of detail in the photographs. Occasionally, it attempts to enhance the colours.
The 50MP main and 50MP ultrawide sensors provide images with excellent resolution and dynamic range. Also, disregard the 2MP depth sensor since it serves no use.
Due to the larger size of this sensor, the details are shown nicely. Motorola uses the ultra-wide sensor as a macro sensor as well, so if you are a macro photographer, you will be ecstatic with its 50MP ultrawide sensor.
Read OnePlus NORD N20 5G: Leaks, Rumors, Probable Release Date
Additionally, the 32MP front-facing camera captures high-quality images without any difficulties.
Overall, the smartphone features a fantastic camera, which you will like if you favour vibrant colours. However, the device's photos are superior to those offered by competing companies in this price range.
Performance
The gadget is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ processor and an Adreno 642L graphics processing unit. It has as much as 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 Storage.
Read Samsung Galaxy A23 4G: Can it uphold the reputation of ancestors?
The gadget comes with the Android 12 operating system. Motorola has also pledged to give OS upgrades for 2 years and security patches for 3 years. The Snapdragon 778G+ is the overclocked variant of the Snapdragon 778G and offers an excellent battery life. Motorola should have added a Snapdragon 870 since its CPU and GPU are superior.
The Edge 30 5G's user interface is ad-free, so you will enjoy Stock Android with some Motorola-specific features. Overall, the gadget will provide potent performance, and you will encounter no problems.
Battery
The Motorola Edge 30 has a 4020mah with support for 33W quick charging. Motorola included a 33W Charger in the packaging.
Read Xiaomi Redmi 10c Review: Can this budget phone fulfil users’ needs?
The device's battery is very tiny, and Motorola should have added a 5,000 mAh battery, but they did not, resulting in the world's thinnest phone. The pricing is also cheaper than those of competing brands.
Overall, the battery life is excellent due to the CPU, but you must charge the smartphone twice each day.
Price of Motorola Edge 30
The Motorola Edge 30 has not been officially released in Bangladesh yet. In the UK, the phone has been released with 8GB RAM with 128GB storage at GBP 379.99 or BDT 40391. The conversion rate here is 1 GBP = 106.30 BDT. However, due to tax and other issues this price may change after official release in Bangladesh.
Read Walton Primo GH11 Review: The Ultra Budget Device Made in Bangladesh
Conclusion
At this pricing, the Motorola Edge 30 seems to be one of the most sturdy, fascinating, and well-constructed phones in its category. It boasts a superlative 144Hz 10-bit AMOLED display, a highly powerful and, at the same time, extremely thrifty CPU in terms of consumption and temperature, a good autonomy, and a set of cameras that is not just adequate but excellent.
The two 50MP sensors improve the performance of both rear cameras, while the 32MP front-facing camera is also a notable upgrade. It is 5G, offers many connection choices, and Wi-Fi 6E, making it future-proof. Additionally, they have extended support a little compared to prior years, so you will be able to use the Motorola Edge 30 for the next three years.

Motorola Moto G52 Review: Is this mid-range budget phone worth buying?
Based in Illinois, USA, Motorola has predominantly worked in networking solution systems. The company ventured into feature phones in the early 2000s and made a space of its own thanks to the innovative design and compact form factor.
The company didn’t have the same luck with its smartphone lineup, however. The competitive market combined with a shifting vision saw Motorola drop out of the premium smartphone market. But that didn’t stop Motorola from making excellent mid-range and entry-level devices. In fact, the device at hand today, the Moto G52 launched on 20th April in India may very well be the best mid-range android device for 2022.
Key Specifications of Motorola Moto G52
Design and Build Quality
The early 2000s were the peak of Motorola’s design innovations. Whether it’s the uber compact futuristic C113 or the iconic Razr series which made the brand an international sensation. Motorola phones weren’t just a utility device, it was a style statement.
Read Infinix Note 12 Review: Is it worth buying?
But when the company tried to implement the same design innovation in the smartphone market, it didn’t see as much success. So, the company went back to the basics, focused on utility, and over the years, perfected the craft.
The Moto G52 despite being a plastic device has a matte reflective back along with a polished frame. At just 7.99 mm, the device is one of the thinnest phones out there. But that didn’t mean Motorola compromised on the internals as will be apparent in the latter parts of the article.
The back also features a slightly oval raised camera housing which has its own textured finish.
Read Vivo X Fold Review: Can it outsmart the other foldable phones?
The port selection on the device is all as usual. Users will be getting a 3.5 mm headphone jack, secondary mic, stereo speaker, hybrid sim slot, and a power button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner. The phone is also IP58 dust and splash-resistant. It's surprising to see that Motorola managed to stuff the G52 with so many features which aren’t present in most mid-range smartphones. The feature selection provides the device with an edge over its competitors. Especially considering the aggressive pricing.
The Display
The Moto G52 has several strong points. Something that can’t be said about a lot of devices in this price bracket. But the display has to be one of its highlights. The device features a 90 Hz FHD+ pOLED 6.6-inch panel. The large screen has a 20:9 aspect ratio with a 403 ppi density. The panel provides a rich contrast of color and blacks only found on AMOLEDs. The peak brightness of the device isn’t explicitly mentioned by Motorola but by the performance, it has decent enough outdoor visibility.
AMOLED panels in the lower tier tend to have color shifting issues and not-so-decent viewing angles. But thankfully, none of those are present in the G52’s pOLED panel. Even though the display doesn’t support HDR 10+ content, the 90 Hz refresh rate provides a smooth viewing experience. At this price range, it’s safe to say that there isn’t any competitor to the G52 when it comes to media consumption.
Read Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus Review: Is it worth it?
The Camera
Budget to mid-range camera systems has one thing in common – the use of excessive sensors to make it look better. But in pursuit of triple or quad sensors, they often miss out on the basics of photography and videography.
Moto G52 has a triple-lens setup and the choices here are functional, to say the least. The main sensor is a 50 MP wide-angle f/1.8 shooter with PDAF. It is accompanied by an 8 MP f/2.2 ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP macro shooter. The front features a 16 MP standard shooter.
Speaking of performance, the camera does an excellent job in outdoors and well-lit environments. The colors look sharp and the contrast is a bit on the warmer side. Motorola has greatly improved its camera system and post-processing software compared to previous iterations.
Read Samsung Galaxy A23 4G: Can it uphold the reputation of ancestors?
However, the performance in low light or indoor environments still needs some work. Other than a few exposure issues here and there, the low light performance of the camera is also satisfactory.
The video resolution is slated to be 1080P at 30 fps. Even though the sensor is capable enough to push better resolutions, it doesn’t due to the processor constraints. Overall, the Moto G52 has a decent camera that is on par with most of its competitors.
Processor and Performance
The Motorola Moto G52 is powered by Snapdragon 680 4G based on the 6 Nm architecture. It might be a bummer that the device doesn't support 5G. But the market it was intended for doesn’t still have 5G coverage all around so that shouldn’t be a big deal.
Read Xiaomi Redmi 10c Review: Can this budget phone fulfil users’ needs?
The octa-core processor has a 4 2.4 GHz Kryo 265 Gold and 4x1.9 GHz Kryo 265 Silver chip configuration. The GPU here is the Adreno 610. On paper, the device is good enough for everyday tasks and light gaming. 3D titles run relatively smoothly on medium graphics. Though the device does tend to get heated pretty easily. It’s a device geared towards casual usage that requires relatively less processing power.
The device comes with Android 12 out of the box with a scheduled Android 13 rollout and 3 years of security patch updates.
Battery and Charge Time
There is a 5000 mAh Li-Po battery in the Moto G52. The efficient processor and the AMOLED panel help to churn out around 8 to 10 hours of usage at a stretch. The huge battery is also complemented by a 33 W fast charger.
Read Walton Primo GH11 Review: The Ultra Budget Device Made in Bangladesh
Price of Motorola Moto G52
The price of the Motorola Moto G52 for the 4/64 GB variant is 14,999 Rs which roughly amounts to 16,798 BDT. The 6/128 Gb variant is available for 16,999 Rs or 19,038 BDT. The price is subject to changes when Motorola officially launches the device in Bangladesh.
Verdict
It's rare for a mobile brand, especially one that isn’t a frontline producer to come up with a device that hardly has any flaws. It's almost as if Motorola took a deep dive into what people want and incorporated all of that within a price that is sure to turn heads. The display, design, and processors are undoubtedly one of the strong suits here. Just for nitpicking’s sake, the camera could have performed a bit better. But as an overall package, the Motorola Moto G52 set the standard to beat in the lower mid-range segment.

Infinix Note 12 Review: Is it worth buying?
In the last few years, cheap smartphones had a significant upshift. Companies are coming up with devices that check almost all the boxes at the fraction of renowned flagship prices. The Hong Kong based company Infinix has also emerged as a significant player in the budget to mid-range category. Their latest offering, the Infinix Note12 aims to bring the best of mid-range at an affordable price. The device was launched globally including in Bangladesh on 25th April 2022. Here’s a detailed review for potential users to decide whether Note 12 is a go or not.
Key Specifications of Infinix Note 12
Design and Build Quality
Budget to mid-range devices has a quirk of not sticking to a set of design principles. Each iteration brings something new which can often be a hit or miss. The Note 12 from Infinix also brings slight changes to the design elements from Note 11.
The apparent change is in the back where the frosted finish is now coupled with a glossy panel alongside the camera module. It gives the phone its fusion looks at the cost of being a fingerprint magnet.
Read OnePlus NORD N20 5G: Leaks, Rumors, Probable Release Date
The frosted back design may appear to be glass but the device is a plastic one with a plastic back and frame. The glass front is not rated for any protection as well. Another key feature is that the device is slightly thinner and lighter than the previous generation. The dimension changes bring a better hand feel and overall ergonomics to the device.
The port and buttons remain the same as the previous generation. The top of the device is completely flush with the headphone jack, main speaker, mic, and the Type-C port at the bottom. The left houses the sim slot which also has a dedicated tray that supports up to 2 terabytes of extended storage. The power button is made completely flush with the right frame. However, the button is positioned slightly lower than the usual thumb rest position, so it will take a bit of getting used to.
Overall, the design and the build quality are on par with the price, and the design pros certainly outweigh the cons here.
Read Bluetooth Headphones Buyer Guide and Price Ranges in Bangladesh
The Display
The display is a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution. It's typical to see an AMOLED panel at this price point and the Note 12 doesn’t disappoint. The panel won't compete with the likes of Samsung’s Super AMOLED, but it’s a decent-looking one with almost 393 ppi.
The colors on the panel look sharp and saturated. This has been a characteristic feature of Infinix devices and can be calibrated from the display settings. The peak brightness of the panel reaches up to 1000 nits under direct sunlight. So outdoor legibility will never be an issue.
However, the only gripe here is the 60 Hz refresh rate. Brands like Xiaomi offer a higher refresh rate at an even lower price point. Infinix could’ve pushed to at least 90 Hz to stay on par with the competitors. Since the panel is limited to 60 Hz, it doesn’t support HDR 10 content and that might be a deal-breaker for the streamers out there.
Read Samsung Galaxy A23 4G: Can it uphold the reputation of ancestors?
The Camera
The triple camera setup on the Infinix Note 12 is a rather bizarre one. The main sensor is a 50 MP one with PDAF. The other one is a 2 MP depth sensor and the other one is a QVGA sensor. it doesn’t make any sense to use a QVGA sensor as it’s a camera tech of the last decade. The depth sensor also doesn’t do much with the majority of the work being done by the main sensor alone in portrait mode.
The main sensor does a good job at capturing details with decent dynamic range preservation. The portrait mode is a hit or miss at times as the lens either captures the edges perfectly or at times, completely misses them.
But things start to tumble indoors and in low light conditions. Images appear to be soft with very low exposure and grains. The only saving grace here is the portrait mode which significantly brightens up the images. However, it still can’t do anything about the noises.
Read Freezer, Fridge, Refrigerator Explosion: Causes, Risks Factors, Ways of Prevention
The camera doesn’t live up to its competitors, especially at a mid-range price tag. The Realme Narzo 20 or the Redmi 10 does a significantly better job at a much lower price point.
Processor and Performance
The Infinix Note 12 comes with a MediaTek Helio G88 processor based on the 12 Nm architecture. The octa-core chips are designed in a 2 2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 and 6 1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 design with the GPU being the Mali-G52 MC2.
On paper, the processor is a perfectly powered mid-range processor. However, the reality is a bit different in real-life use. Part of that has to do with the OS itself. The XOS from Infinix is bloatware-filled with heavy skin. There are almost 15 apps that come preinstalled on the device but thankfully most of them can be uninstalled manually.
Read Xiaomi Redmi 10c Review: Can this budget phone fulfil users’ needs?
Users will be able to play graphics-intensive games like PUBG, Asphalt 9, and COD. But the graphics settings need to be limited to a mid-range setup. Even at that, there are a few frame drops here and there.
The processor is best suited for regular uses like YouTube or social media browsing. The performance starts to bottle with processor-intensive tasks. Another negative side of the overall setup is the Android 11. While even the entry-level budget devices now ship with Android 12, it’s a letdown to see Android 11 out of the box.
Battery and Charge Time
The device comes with 5000 mAh out of the box. The battery is good enough for 8 to 9 hours of continuous usage. Note 12 supports fast-charging up to 33W so charging won't be an issue here.

Price of Infinix Note 12 in Bangladesh
The Infinix Note 12 is officially available in Bangladesh for 18,299 BDT. It can be purchased through Daraz and the official retail stores of Infinix all across Bangladesh.
Verdict
The Infinix Note 12 is a proper shot for the company to be a market leader in the mid-range segment. However, the company more or less fails at the attempt. The display isn’t up to the mark and the camera performance is also subpar. The only saving grace is the battery and the processor. If Infinix launched this device at a bit lower price, it could have had its share of impact.

Freezer, Fridge, Refrigerator Explosion: Causes, Risks Factors, Ways of Prevention
Explosions of refrigerators are RARE. However, when they occur, they are very deadly and have the ability to destroy your whole family and even a few neighbouring homes. Due to the fact that they occur spontaneously, refrigerator explosions are very hazardous. Other fire threats caused by a stove or toaster often produce smoke that sets off the fire alarm and alerts everyone in the building.
What Can Make a Fridge Explode?
The major cause of your refrigerator's explosion is its compressor, which is located at the rear of the appliance. It consists of a pump and motor that force the refrigerant gas through its coils. As this gas cools and transforms into a liquid, it absorbs heat from the refrigerator and helps to cool the contents.
As the refrigerant continues to go through the compressor, however, the back of the refrigerator might get quite warm. Consequently, this causes the condenser coils to compress. This prevents the gas from escaping via vents. And when more gas accumulates inside the compressor coil, the pressure generates a deadly explosion over time.

However, this danger is mostly restricted to refrigerators older than 8 to 10 years.
To avoid your refrigerator from exploding and destroying everything in its vicinity, our vigilant Bankstown refrigerator repair professionals advise cleaning its compressor coils and ensuring they are not blocked.
Most homes and businesses with a refrigerator or freezer will likely have a PowerPoint connected. And in the majority of situations, it may operate safely for years without any indication that it may potentially trigger an explosion.

However, they are the most hazardous appliances in your organisation since they are constructed of flammable foam insulations with thin plastic coverings.
In all honesty, this is a formula for catastrophe if an electrical problem happens or if a fire from another device spreads to your refrigerator or freezer.
Moreover, since they are among the few appliances that operate continuously, they always represent a fire threat while people are asleep.

Walton Primo GH11 Review: The Ultra Budget Device Made in Bangladesh
Walton is one of the leading electronic brands in Bangladesh. The company was founded in 1977 and is currently one of the largest tech conglomerates in Bangladesh serving almost all the areas of consumer electronics. The company moved into the mobile devices with feature phones back in 2007 and since then they foraged into smartphones as well. In continuation of the company’s affordable superlative devices, Walton recently launched the Walton Primo GH11 on 25th April 2022. The device is being hailed as the local flagship killer as it incorporates a solid spec with a very aggressive price. Let’s find out more.
Key Specifications of Walton Primo GH11
Design and Build Quality
Before diving into the details, users should understand that this is a sub 10,000 BDT device. International phone brands operating in Bangladesh struggle to provide a barely managing device at this price range. So beyond its obvious cut corners, the device is still a great performer keeping the price in mind.
Starting with the design, there is a little shift from its predecessor, the Primo GH10. The overall form factor and the port selection remain the same from the previous iterations. The notable change is seen on the back where there is a two-tone vertical finish. The device is completely plastic with a glass front. But the subtle dual texture with a light-reflective finish gives it a much more premium look compared to its build.

Moving onto ports and buttons, the device has a physical fingerprint scanner on the back just like the GH10. The accented power button gives the device its unique look from the side. The bottom of the device features the micro-USB port, bottom-firing speaker, and mic. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is situated at the top. There isn’t any secondary noise cancellation mic here and considering the price the choice isn’t surprising.
There are two sim trays along with a micro SDXC tray in the sim slot section. The device itself comes with 32 GB ROM onboard with expandable memory supporting up to 256 GB.
Overall, the design is a breath of fresh air for those who don’t like to sport a cover on their phone. The build quality is also decent and overall, it's as good as things get in a four-digit price range.

The Display
The biggest problem with a budget device is the cut corner on the display. Most of the time, the display gets overlooked even though it’s the first contact point of the user experience. Thankfully, Walton did a better job with the display on the GH11.
The display used in the Primo GH11 is an HD+ IPS INCELL panel with a 2.5 D curve. Now it's still an LCD panel with 720P resolution and realistically, no one was expecting it to compete with the likes of the AMOLED panel.
But the display easily outshines any other panels in its budget range. The INCELL panel provides deep blacks, satisfactory viewing angles, and adequate brightness. Color may seem. A bit washed out but it's nothing that can’t be calibrated from the settings. Overall, the display makes for a pleasant viewing experience with its limited capabilities.

Xiaomi Redmi 10c Review: Can this budget phone fulfil users’ needs?
While Xiaomi is best known for its flagship products, the firm has gained traction in a number of areas. Thanks to its inexpensive handsets that provide respectable features for a low price. This prompted the company to announce a new smartphone in the Redmi series for the economic segment, dubbed the Xiaomi Redmi 10C, which would be the direct successor to the Redmi 9C from last year. Here goes a detailed review of Xiaomi Redmi 10c.
Key Features of Xiaomi Redmi 10c
Design
Let's begin with the design and manufacturing materials. In comparison to the previous generation, the Redmi 10c phone features a new design. The back and side frames are made of plastic, while the black camera bump is equipped with various elements such as imaging sensors, an LED flash, and a fingerprint reader.
Read Samsung Galaxy A23 4G: Can it uphold the reputation of ancestors?
Additionally, it has the Redmi logo, while the side frame houses the power button, volume controls, charging and speaker ports, as well as slides and a memory stick. The front end features a V-notch and a big bottom border. The phone measures 169.5 x 76.5 x 8.3 mm and weighs 190g. It is available in three colours: Mint Green, Graphite Gray, and Ocean Blue.
What is frustrating about the design is Xiaomi's decision to relocate the fingerprint scanner to the rear rather than the conventional power button. This is a big drop since many users prefer the fingerprint reader positioned on the side. However, others may disagree since everyone, in the end, has their own taste.
Display
The Redmi 10C features a 6.71-inch LCD monitor with a resolution of 1650 x 720 pixels, a pixel density of 268 PPI, and a maximum brightness of 400 nits.

Additionally, it has a Corning Gorilla Glass protective layer of the third generation. Exhibit 20:9. Additionally to other settings such as sunlight, the screen enables reading mode to shield the eyes from hazardous radiation. In conclusion, the screen is excellent and covers all of your everyday demands, but it will not be the deciding factor in your decision to purchase this phone.
However, this is compensated by the support for Widevine L1 HD files, which are capable of streaming high-definition videos from Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, allowing you to enjoy your favourite films in high-definition and completing the experience with a powerful speaker.
Thus, although the Redmi 10C may not have the finest screen, it does provide the most value for money, providing a high-quality screen suited for media consumption, whether watching videos, playing games, or surfing social media.

Cameras and Their Features
The cameras are one of the Redmi 10 C's strongest aspects. There is nothing to be concerned about in terms of their standards. Its compact rear cover conceals a square camera module that includes not just a dual-camera system and an LED flash but also a microSD card slot.
Along with 1080p video capturing at 30 frames per second, a 50MP main lens with an F/1.8 lens slot on the Samsung S5KJN1 sensor provides panoramic technology, HDR, and night mode.
Additionally, there is a 2MP OmniVision OV02B10 sensor with an F/2.4 lens slot for isolation, while the front has a 5MP selfie camera with an F/2.2 lens slot that enables 1080p@30fps video recording. Furthermire, there is a facial recognition function through the front camera and artificial intelligence that unlocks the lock screen when the device's owner's face is identified.

Performance and Software
When it comes to performance, the Redmi 10C excels in the majority of its basic and entertainment uses, such as surfing the web, watching videos on YouTube, and using social media platforms, as everything ran smoothly and without any issues with applications freezing or reaching abnormally high temperatures.
Whereas the Redmi 10C is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 680 octa-core CPU manufactured using a 6nm technology. The chipset comprises four Kryo 265 Gold cores running at 2.4GHz and four Kryo 265 Silver cores running at 1.9GHz. Qualcomm 600 series CPUs are often used in low- and mid-range smartphones. And the most recent smartphone, the Redmi Note 11, used this CPU, indicating its efficiency and reliability.
This comes with an Adreno 610 GPU, 4GB RAM, or up to 128GB inbuilt storage that can be expanded up to 1TB via external microSD card. This phone contributes to uninterrupted performance regardless of the task at hand by increasing typing speed, which results in speedier installation and loading of all your favourite applications.
