Honor 7X

Honor 7X
Image source: https://www.technobuffalo.com

CPU: HiSilicon Kirin 659  Octa-core (4×2.36 and 4×1.7) GHz

Display: 5.93 Inches, 1080 x 2160 pixels, 18:9 ratio (~407 PPI density)

RAM: 3/4 GB RAM

ROM: 32/64 GB 

Weight: 164 g

OS:  EMUI 5.1 (Android 7.0 (Nougat))

Camera: 16 MP (1/2.9″, 1.25 µm) + 2 MP

Battery: 3340 MAh

Fingerprint sensor: Yes (back)

The newest entry in the list, Honor 7X is the only smartphone on the list which sport 18:9 display which is near bezel-less.

The first thing you will notice is the screen, its look beautiful. Corners are sharp and not curvy like other 18:9 displays. The resolution is 2160*1080 with 407PPI which make the screen “budget class”, overall the screen is decent.

The battery life is another important factor and honor 7X does well here. With 3340 mAh battery which sounds like “Just 3340”, the Honor 7X gives a good battery life overall. Huawei did the optimization and you can expect a full day usage on this device.

Honor 7X sport a HiSilicon Kirin 659 Octa-core CPU (4×2.36 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4×1.7 GHz Cortex-A53) which is good enough to give smooth performance. Playing games is easy and navigating feels nippy. Thanks to the EMUI 5.1 (Android Nougat) which is near Stock Android in most of the part. EMUI also gives some extra features compared to stock Android.

The build quality is also good, Smartphone has rounded edges and has metal all over it. It looks and feels premium. There is a dual lens camera behind which look like a minion. Coming to the camera, it is just decent. Using the camera straight away may disappoint you but after tackling with manual modes, you can get some nice pictures. The fingerprint sensor is one of the best in class.

Nokia 6

Nokia 6

CPU: Qualcomm MSM8937 Snapdragon 430 Octa-core 1.4 GHz

Display: 5.5 inches, 1080 x 1920 pixels

RAM: 3/4 GB

ROM: 32/64 GB

Weight: 169 g

OS: Android 7.0 (Nougat)

Camera: 16 MP, f/2.0, phase detection autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash

Battery: 3000 mAH

Fingerprint sensor: Yes (front)

Nokia 6 is a smartphone which focuses on User experience instead of competing at papers. The hardware is outdated compared to the other smartphone on the shelves right now.

The design of this phone is maybe the best in the segment. It resembles that old Nokia Lumia design and looks pretty good. The 2.5D Curved glass makes it pretty on the front. The 6000 series Aluminum gives the strength to the body of Nokia 6 which will help in some rough situations.

The performance is where Nokia 6 struggles in the competition. The Snapdragon 430 is not as powerful as Snapdragon 625, which the competition is offering right now. Some small hiccups are there when you switch apps. Some Games can make this phone wobble.

The camera gives decent pictures if there is enough light but struggles in low light. Battery life is slightly better and last for a day on Medium usage. No fast charging is present.

RAM: 3/4 GB

ROM: 32/64 GB

Weight: 162 g

OS: Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)

Camera: Dual 12 MP + 2 MP, phase detection autofocus, LED flash

Battery: 3340 mAH

Fingerprint sensor: Yes (back)

Honor 6X follows the Metal design trend like other budget smartphones. With 2.5D curved glass, this phone looks premium and there is no complaint about its design. The display is not a Gorilla glass and it can scratch pretty easily compared to the competition.

It is powered by a Kirin 655 and 3/4 GB of RAM. The performance is good and it can handle all daily to daily task pretty easily. Heavy Games can be played easily. Performance is the best part of Honor 6X.

Honor 6X offers a Dual Camera setup but it is no more than a Gimmick. The Camera takes good pictures though but that second camera is simply nothing. Battery life lives up to the expectations and lasts for 1.5 days with Heavy to Medium usage.

Redmi note 4

Redmi Note 4

 

CPU: Qualcomm MSM8953 Snapdragon 625 Octa-core 2.0 GHz

OS: Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Camera: 13 MP, f/2.0, phase detection autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash

Battery: 4100 mAH

Fingerprint sensor: Yes (Back)

Redmi Note 4 is the most sold smartphone in India. And there is a reason behind it. Redmi Note 4 is all Metal which gives it a premium feel. The hardware is also good for the competition. But the price of this smartphone makes it the best buy under 200$ price range.

Redmi note 4 has a Snapdragon 625 and 2/3/4 GB of RAM. The performance is pretty good but we recommend the 3/4 GB RAM version because it will give a better multitasking experience.

Redmi note series always bring big battery sizes. The battery life of Note 4 is good and it will last a day easily on heavy usage. The Camera does a great job and it is up to the level of Moto G5 plus.

Overall Redmi note 4 is a great package. MIUI is beautiful but it gives too many apps which affect the performance. Fingertip sensor is also not fast enough and there is no fast charging. But looking at the competition right now, this phone is a winner.

Weight: 198 g

OS: Android 7.1.1 Nougat

Camera: 13 MP, f/2.0, autofocus, LED flash

Battery: 5000 mAH

Fingerprint sensor: Yes (front)

Moto E4 plus is a battery giant smartphone with Smooth performance and a Good design. This phone follows its big brothers G5 plus in term of Design. It is Metal and that Chrome lining at the edges. Overall the design is pretty good.

The big battery makes this smartphone bulky and it weights at 198 Gram. So it is a bulky and heavy phone. The performance, however, is good. Although the hardware looks mediocre on papers, in real life it is satisfactory.

The camera is not that great if you compare it with like Redmi note 3. Pictures taken with it are Muted with bad color reproduction. F/2.0 aperture is a good feature in the Segment.

The battery life is the major feature of Moto E4 plus and it just blows out every other smartphone out of the water. It can last up to 2 days on heavy usage. The less powerful Processor and a 720P display increase the battery life.

Verdict

Best Performance

No matter what, if a smartphone cant performs then it can be a headache to you in future. Thanks to Snapdragon for some powerful Processors which performs well on a daily basis.

So what specs are good for you, Most of the smartphones are powered by Snapdragon 400 and 600 series which is efficient and powerful at the same time.

Moto G5 plus and Redmi note 4 are both powered by Snapdragon 625. But the near Stock Android of Moto G5 plus make it faster than the Redmi note 4 which is using MIUI. Now, MIUI is not bad at all, in fact, it gives more features than Stock Android but these extra features make it a heavy ROM. Redmi Note 4 is also cheaper than Moto G5 plus.


Best Build Quality/Design

A few years ago, Metal was a thing of Flagships smartphone but thanks to Chinese Companies which introduced full Metal design in the Budget devices.

Metal feels premium and it also gives strength to the phone. Most of the phone using Metal Design but one smartphone stand out of all which is Nokia 6.

Nokia 6 brings a new and unique Design with good build quality. Taking inspiration from Lumia series and with 6000 series Aluminium, this smartphone wins in term of Design.


Best Battery life

No debate and Comparision needed, Moto E4 plus is the winner in battery life. With 5000mAH Battery and a 720P display, this smartphone can last two days (easily) on Medium to heavy usage.


Best Value for money

So if you ask us that “Which smartphone performs well in all department”. My answer would be Moto G5 plus.

It ticks all the boxes when it comes to Design, Performance, Battery life and Pricing. It is the only phone which gives you a Stock Android Software.

Also, Redmi Note 4 is a good deal below 200$ price tag. It also ticks all the boxes of battery, pricing, camera, and design. Although the Design is generic and the bloatware is there, this smartphone doesn’t disappoint in the day to day usage.
