REALME 5 PRO:
The year witnessed many smartphones
featuring quad-camera setup but was
restricted to mid-premium and premium
segments. Realme with the 5 Pro introduced
a four-camera module at `13,999. Comprising
a 48MP Sony IMX 586 48 MP primary sensor
along with an 8 MP ultra-wide sensor, a 2 MP
macro lens and a 2 MP depth sensor, it does
a decent enough job of capturing images.
The image quality of the primary
sensor is bright and clear. Even the
ultra-wide-angle lens does a pretty
decent job. Powered by Qualcomm
Snapdragon 712 processor paired
with 8GB RAM, Realme 5 Pro is a
decent performer capable of handling
multiple apps at the same time.
REDMI K20 PRO:Stepping out of the comfort
zone, Xiaomi introduced a premium flagship at
an aggressive price point. The Redmi K20 Pro
checked all the right boxes – from a full-screen
AMOLED display to in-display fingerprint sensor and
Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor to lasting
battery backup and pop-up selfie camera to triple
camera module with a wide-angle lens, all under
`30,000 (`27,999 to be precise). Redmi K20 Pro is a
decent looking budget flagship smartphone with an
impressive camera and superb performance.RUNNER UPNOTEWORTHY
