  Realme P4 Power Review: Do You Need a Smartphone With a 10,000mAh Battery?

  Realme’s P4 Power is not your usual mid-range smartphone, while it seems to check all the boxes for such a device, Realme has done the unbelievable by shoving in a powerbank-sized 10,001mAh battery in it.

  Poco C85 Review: Big Battery, Basic Performance

  Poco's C85 gets a new design with better durability, a newer processor and a bigger battery. While this may seem like the makings of a decent budget smartphone, its underpowered processor, combined with poorly optimised software makes it hard to deliver the basics.

  The Motorola Edge 70 feels like a smartphone that knows who it’s for and doesn’t try too hard to impress.

  iQOO Z10R Review: Slim and Stylish, but Not for Everyone

  iQOO’s Z10R sets out to find its sweet spot between the high-end budget smartphones and low-end midrange devices, but ends up being in neither camp because it under-delivers in certain areas.
