FEMALE CAR & GADGET AWARDS 2019

BEST BUDGET

SMARTPHONE

SAMSUNG

GALAXY A50
“When it comes to
a phone’s battery
life, we all want one
that lasts all day even
with heavy usage. The
A50’s battery does an
excellent job in getting
me through a full day
and the fast-charging
support is a total life
saver, especially when
I’m running late for
a meeting and forgot to
charge my phone. As I love playing high-end
mobile games, having a phone that performs
well without any lags is also important to me.
The A50 is powered by Samsung’s Exynos
chip that has four Cortex-A73 cores clocked
at 2.3GHz which gives you a smooth and
seamless gaming experience. Best of all, the
phone doesn’t heat up even after using it for
hours!” – Elaine

BEST MID-RANGE SMARTPHONE

OPPO R17 PRO

“There are countless times when the night shots I tried
capturing with my phone ended up looking grainy and dark.
Thanks to the R17 Pro, shooting in dark lighting has never
been easier! Designed specifically for taking photos at night,
this smartphone is equipped with a variable smart aperture
of f1.5/f2.4 which can automatically adjust to various
lighting conditions. The Optical Image Stabilization function
is also super handy to stabilise images and brighten night-
time photography through a longer exposure period. With
its aesthetic design and advanced technology, it’s no wonder
why this smart gadget is a crowd favourite!” – Elaine

BEST SELFIE SMARTPHONE

HUAWEI NOVA 4

“I’m not one to take selfies, but when I had this

phone with me, it was hard to resist doing so!

Thanks to its 25MP front camera with f/2.0

aperture that comes complete with AI beautification

functions, all my selfies

turned out pretty

Insta-worthy! Fun fact:

the selfie camera was

strategically-placed on

the phone’s top

left as the R&D

team at Huawei

discovered that

flattering selfies

are best taken from

the left side. Besides

that, the sturdy Kirin

970 processor ensures a

smooth experience when

interchanging apps and the

3750mAh battery along with

the USB-C charger allowed me

to use it for a full day without

needing to whip out my portable

charger.” – Tammy

BEST PREMIUM SMARTPHONE

APPLE iPHONE XR

Red, yellow, white, coral, black and blue are the stunning

shades that the iPhone XR comes in. Given how Apple

has always stuck to its usual silver and black finishes, this

is a welcoming change for users who want something

different! It may be priced at 72 per cent of the cost

of the iPhone XS, but it is every bit as powerful. The

XR features a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display, TrueDepth

camera with faster Face ID authentication, new

7-nanometer A12 Bionic chip with second generation

Neural Engine and a 12-megapixel camera that takes

advanced Portrait mode and Portrait Lighting photos. This

new design is also water-resistant, with a rating of IP67!
