Xiaomi Redmi A1+ Review: Budget phone with fingerprint sensor
The Chinese electronics company Xiaomi’s subsidiary company Redmi was first introduced in July 2013 as a low-cost smartphone line. In 2019 it was separated into a sub-brand of Xiaomi to produce entry-level to mid-range Smartphones and gadgets. A1+ debuts in September 2022 under Redmi's entry-level lineup 'A' series. Let’s take a look at the specs, advantages, and limitations of Redmi A1+.
Key Features of Xiaomi Redmi A1+
Design and Features
The Xiaomi Redmi A1+ has preserved the dimensions of 164.9 x 76.8 x 9.1 mm or 6.49 x 3.02 x 0.36 in. It weighs 192 g. and has two SIM cards. It has a loudspeaker and a 3.5mm jack. The WLAN communications such as Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, hotspots, and so on are also there. It supports Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC. It has GPS, as well as A-GPS, GALILEO, GLONASS, and BDS.
The phone bears a fingerprint scanner at the upper mid portion of the backside. It is probably the first smartphone in the international market to offer a fingerprint sensor. The rear side of the phone is made of premium-category plastic. It has a leather texture that gives an utmost elegant look. The back side also rooms a dual camera with a flashlight at the left upper corner of the phone.

There are three color options available for the Redmi A1, including light green, dark black, and light blue. For the purpose of this review, we used the option with the light green color, and we found that the natural hue pairs well with the simple design of the smartphone.
Display
The 6.52-inch IPS screen on the front of the device offers a typical 60 Hz refresh rate and an HD+ resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels. The display has a 120 Hz touch-sampling rate, a 400-nit screen brightness, and glass that resists scratches to safeguard the screen. Additionally, the front of the device sports a notch that houses a 5 MP selfie camera. On the phone, there is no fingerprint reader.
If you want to use it to view SD video, the display is fairly good. The display has a ceiling that it reaches rather early, and there isn't much more you can do with it after that. The outcomes were in line with what one would expect from a budget smartphone when we viewed videos on YouTube, Netflix, and Hotstar. Not really unique, but excellent for the cost.

In addition, the display is capable of reaching a maximum brightness of 400 nits and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Although the sensation of scrolling is satisfactory, the haptic stimulation has been turned up to a significant degree. It's possible that you'll need to spend some time configuring the phone in order to fix that issue.
Camera
The cameras on the Redmi A1 Plus are similarly more focused on getting the job done than on wowing users with their quality or capabilities. When the lighting conditions are favorable, the 8-megapixel primary sensor on the rear of the device produces shots of satisfactory quality. It even does a respectable job with portrait photos (aided by the secondary 0.3-megapixel snapper on the back).
If you do not go into this situation expecting top-of-the-line colors and detail, you will not be disappointed. Instead, you will end up with snapshots that are excellent enough to post on social media and send in emails and texts.

Videos are, at most, suitable for sharing on social media, although there is a useful time-lapse mode available. When there is not enough light, either still or moving images will have worse quality.
Even while the color reproduction of the 5-megapixel front-facing camera is not quite up to grade, if you take your selfies in well-lit environments, you will have photos that are worthy of being shared.
This is not a camera for serious photographers; rather, it is a point-and-shoot model in the traditional sense. If you take enough precautions, you should be able to get passable results. Perhaps even the odd one out that stands out.

Performance and Hardware
The Redmi A1 Plus is driven by a chipset identified as a MediaTek MT6761 Helio A22. The performance of this processor is satisfactory when it comes to carrying out fundamental activities like navigating the internet, making video calls, utilizing navigation, and many other activities. 32 gigabytes (GB) of storage space is provided, and 3 GB of RAM.
The Redmi A1 Plus utilizes Android 12 GO, which is an operating system developed by Google specifically for use in low-cost smartphones. On top of this operating system, you won't find much evidence of MIUI at all. The user interface is rather uncluttered, and with the exception of Facebook Lite, the phone does not have any bloatware applications.
We put the smartphone's graphics processing unit, or GPU, to the test by playing some light games like Subway Surfers, Candy Crush, and Clash Royale. The handset features a PowerVR GE8320 GPU.

As soon as we were satisfied with the smartphone's overall performance, we fired up Garena Free Fire Max and got to playing. Even though there were some delays, the phone performed a good job of providing a gaming experience that was excellent.
Battery and Charging
The Redmi A1 Plus features a battery pack with a capacity of 5,000 mAh. As it is combined with the phone's basic hardware and operating system, results in extremely long battery life.
The smartphone's battery was easily able to last for two days with moderate use, which included sending and receiving messages on WhatsApp, browsing the web, listening to music, taking pictures, and watching nearly two hours of content each day. If you use the battery backup system more sparingly, you should have no problem reaching three days.

The smartphone can be fully charged using the 10W charger in less than three hours.
Price of Redmi A1+ in Bangladesh
The Xiaomi Redmi A1 Plus is not yet available officially in Bangladesh. In the Indian market, the phone costs INR 7,499 or BDT 9253. The conversion rate here is 1 INR = 1.23 BDT. However, the official price of Redmi A1+ in Bangladesh may vary due to tax and other issues.
Conclusion
In this phone, the manufacturer has included all of the necessary features that consumers anticipate seeing on an affordable smartphone without sacrificing the device's overall performance. A few features like the chin and bezel width and the VGA camera on the rear could be improved for a better experience.

vivo Y22s 4G Review: Will it survive competition?
The smartphone market for entry-level to lower mid-range has always been filled with competition. vivo has been a key player in this market with its range of devices, especially the Y series. The series first debuted in 2019 with the vivo Y3. Over the years there have been several additions to cater to the dynamic needs. vivo’s latest Y series phone Y22s was launched on 23rd August 2022 globally. Now, it is available in Bangladesh. Here’s our detailed take on the key features of the vivo Y22s so that you can decide whether to go for it or not.
Key Specifications of vivo Y22s
Design and Build Quality
The design elements of the vivo Y22s are reminiscent of its previous generation, the Y21s. There is a similar brushed-back design with diffused reflection making it look much more premium than its price class. It also does an excellent job of repelling fingerprint smudges and overall wear and tear.
However, the build is still plastic. The phone features plastic all around with an unrated glass front. At this price point, the choice of a premium design with a plastic build is not surprising. And it shouldn’t bother you much if you put in a case on the device.
Read More: Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Review: Know the Pros and Cons
The dimensions of vivo Y22s are 164.3 by 76.1 by 8.4 mm. The device weighs about 192g.
Moving on to ports and buttons, the Y22s features all the essentials. The 3.5 mm headphone jack still stays right beside the secondary mic and the bottom-firing speaker. The left of the device features the sim slot along with the dedicated micro SDXC slot. The right side features the volume rocker and the power button which also doubles as the biometric sensor.
The overall design and the build quality of the Y22s are satisfactory. However, the only drawback might be its front design which has rather thick bezels and chins compared to the 2022 standards.

Display
Perhaps the most visible letdown of the Y22s is its display. While it might seem like a stretch, for its price vivo should’ve included better hardware in the display department. Considering this is the primary contact point between the user and the device.
The Y22s features a 6.55-inch 720P IPS LCD panel with 270 PPI density. It has a resolution of 720 by 1612 pixels. The choice of IPS LCD is still understandable, but considering that vivo has priced the device in the mid-range segment, it definitely should’ve included FHD+ resolution or a faster refresh rate.
Many of vivo’s competitors offer the same along with AMOLED at this price point. Speaking of the display itself, it doesn’t have the weird color shift or blue tint like that of other HD+ LCDs. However, that’s the only good thing.
Read More: Top 10 phones coming to Bangladesh in November 2022
The colors on the device look a bit washed out and the lack of vibrancy is even more noticeable because of the lower resolution. The display does get relatively bright in both indoor and outdoor use but it’s no match for direct sunlight as you will notice glares even with max brightness.
Overall, the display could’ve definitely been better on the Y22s. What it brings to the table is passable but it definitely won’t be the key selling point of the device.
Camera
The vivo Y22s features a dual camera system. This might seem like a downgrade from the previous generation which had a triple-camera setup. But there’s more than meets the eyes.
Read More: Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Review: Can it fulfil users’ expectations
The main sensor of the vivo Y22s is a 50 MP ( f/1.8) wide-angle shooter. This is the same main sensor found on the Y21s. the Y21s had an additional 2 MP depth and macro sensors. This Year vivo dropped the depth sensor and kept the 2 MP (f/2.4) macro shooter for a dual camera setup.
Moving on to the performance of the cameras, the main sensor steals the show here. The pictures look great in outdoor condition with decent lighting. For a mid-range smartphone, the camera was surprisingly good at capturing the dynamic range and details.
The portraits however were a hit or a miss. Sometimes it captured great details along with proper edge detection. But other times the subject wasn’t properly exposed.
Read More: vivo V25, V25e Review: Is the Price Difference Justified?
The exposure issues become even more apparent indoors or in dimly lit environments. The Y22s also suffer from grains and noises in any form of artificial light.
The videography of the phone is limited to 1080P at 30 fps.
The front side offers a generic 8 MP (f/2.0) shooter which gets the job done. It can capture 1080p footage at 30fps.
Processor and Performance
Moving on to the processor, the vivo Y22s features a Snapdragon 680 4G chipset based on the 6nm architecture. The 680 chip from snapdragon is the perfect mid-range chipset which has been a reliable choice for a few years now. The processor’s graphic unit is equipped with an Adreno 610 GPU.
Read More: OPPO F21 Pro 4G Review: Special attraction for Shakib fans
Similar reliability is reflected in the performance as well. Although not touted to be a gaming phone, the Y22s can handle gaming pretty well. Especially titles like COD, PUBG, and Asphalt 9 play at the highest settings without any hiccups. The only problem here is that the device does get heated up after quite some time of continued gaming.
For day-to-day task, the Y22s performs like a breeze. The Funtouch OS also came a long way from its initial days to be more streamlined and responsive. Overall, the performance of the Y22s justifies the price it comes at.
Battery and Charge Time
The vivo Y22s comes equipped with a 5000 mAh battery. Combine this with the moderate display and the device can easily last around 8-10 hours of continued usage. The device also supports 18W wired fast charging which vivo claims can go from 0 to 70% in 70 minutes.

Official Price of vivo Y22s in Bangladesh
The Y22s is available in two variants – the 6/128 GB one and the 8/128 GB configuration. Currently, the 6/128 GB variant is officially available in Bangladesh. The price of the device is 21,999 BDT and can be currently pre-ordered. However, the price is subject to change.
Verdict
The vivo Y22s checks a lot of the boxes when it comes to affordable mid-range devices. It has got a good camera, a decent battery, and a durable build with stylish looks. However, the one aspect that will bother any user is the display. Other than that, the vivo Y22s smartphone seems to be a standard phone for average day-to-day tasks.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Review: Know the Pros and Cons
Xiaomi's sub-brand Redmi launched four new phones, Redmi Note 12, Note 12 Pro, Note 12 Pro+, and Note 12 Explorer, under its latest Redmi Note 12 series on November 1 in China. The phones are expected to be launched in Bangladesh and other Asian countries by the end of November. Let’s take a look at the key specs of the Redmi Note 12 Pro.
Key Features of Redmi Note 12 Pro
Design
The Note 12 Pro represents a continuation of the previous generation’s design. The front screen with a flat back panel and a straight-back frame basically resembles the design of the Note 11T Pro. But 12 Pro has a larger, more powerful camera module. It comes in four colors, black, blue, white, violet or purple.
The side still includes a power button that functions as a fingerprint too. On the top, you will get an IR emitter, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and NFC. However, the SIM card slot does not function with TF cards.
Read More: Apple iPad, iPad Pro 2022 Review: World’s most advanced tablets
The 187g weight, as well as the 7.9 mm width, contributes to the Note 12 Pro feeling like a lightweight device despite its 162.9 by 76 height and length. Note 12 Pro should get a very high score for its form factor at a mid-range.
Display
The Note 12 screen looks the same as the one on the 11 Pro, but there are some small upgrades. A larger 6.67-inch OLED display uses a smaller bezel, which yields the most noticeable difference between those two devices. It looks more beautiful than average mid-range phones do from the front. The quality of the screen is excellent and creates a diamond-quality pixel.
The display’s resolution is 1080 × 2400 pixels with a 120Hz refresh rate. It uses a 1920Hz pulse-width modulation dimming in low brightness and supports Dolby Vision (900 nits peak brightness). The quality of this screen is best in the same price range.
Read More: Top 10 phones coming to Bangladesh in November 2022
Hardware
Performance on the Note 12 Pro’s weaker side comes from using the Dimensity 1080 chip, a 6nm mid-range MediaTek chip. Both AnTuTu and 3DMark are showing very similar ratings to the prior Generation Dimensity 920 with a 968,607 AnTuTu score.
The graphic unit is enriched with Mali-G68 MC4 GPU. The phone runs on MIUI 13 OS on top of Android 12.
Ultimately, you can evaluate the level of performance of a chip when you visit the framerate information for each video game. Of course, it’s no problem for PUBG on a mobile device. As per Genshin Impact, its average fps was less than 40, which is not an excellent performance.
Read More: vivo V25, V25e Review: Is the Price Difference Justified?
So, it is better to buy Dimensity 8100 phone if you prefer a better chip. So, Note 12 Pro falls behind the Note 11T pro in hardware comparison.
Storage
Although you cannot add an external memory card, the four memory variation should be good enough for you. Note 12 Pro comes with 128GB 6GB RAM, 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM, and 256GB 12GB RAM version. But you might not get all the versions in Bangladesh.
Here you get UFS 2.2 data transfer technology.

Camera
Redmi focuses on the camera of Note 12 Pro. However, it does not use the latest 200MP main camera. But Redmi emphasizes filters and Art frames. Seven new filters have been added to the Note 12 series, all of which make photos appear grainy while altering the color.
Moreover, some scenes may look excellent on these filters, making them great for film photography. So, this phone is recommended for people who enjoy photography.
Rear Camera Series
The back camera includes a 50 MP wide-angle main camera that features an f/1.9 aperture, 24mm lens width, and 1/1.56-lens size. This sensor has introduced a new optical image stabilizer this time.
Read More: Infinix Zero Ultra Review: Worth the hype?
The sensor part has also become larger, so the video recordings or photos in dim light have improved over the previous context. In particular, the 2x magnification is just fine with handshakes, even as the recent 5x magnification has no shaking in the dark as it was before with previous models.
Now the night vision setting is even more fun. It does not improve the dynamic range but just lowers the highlights and darkens the dark portions. Consequently, it makes night scenes more enjoyable and relaxing without noise. Some scenes demand stronger highlights, and it can cause unwanted exposure, just like a neon box, which doesn’t look as good as the automatic mode.
And oftentimes, the color temperature is too cool, so it can be difficult to take a good photo at night with the Note 12 Pro if you lack expertise and skill.

Besides, Note 12 Pro’s rear camera series includes an 8 MP ultrawide camera featuring an aperture of f/1.9, 119˚ (ultrawide) field-of-view, and 1/4" lens size. It also has a 2 MP macro sensor with an f/2.4 aperture. However, the macro camera performance is not the best. It is not recommended for frequent use.
Front Camera
On the front side, Redmi Note 12 Pro sports a 16 MP (wide) selfie sensor. Its sensor size is 1/3.06-inch and 1.0µm.
Video Capacity
The video recording quality has improved significantly than Note 11 Pro. Because its ability to stabilize video recordings is improved by the addition of OIS. But additionally, by taking into consideration other smartphones with EIS, Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro’s recording is not superior.
Read More: Xiaomi 12T Pro Review: Is the hype real?
The highest camera shooting parameters on the Note 11 Pro are 4K 30fps for the main camera and 1080P 30fps for the ultra-wide camera, which are the same in the Note 11 Pro.
With the front camera, you can shoot 1080p footage at 30 or 60fps.
Battery and Charging
The Note 12 Pro comes with 67w charging power for a 5000mAh battery. However, it is 20g lighter than Note 11 Pro, and the battery is 160mAh smaller. Since the phone might give you a reduced performance, the battery life should be long-lasting. Therefore, it is a good improvement over 11 Pro+.
Read More: Google Pixel 7 Series Review: What’s New
Redmi Note 12 Pro’s Price
The Redmi Note 12 Pro’s 128GB 6GB RAM version will cost $299 in China, which is equivalent to Tk30,688 ($1= BDT. 102.64). However, the official price of Redmi Note 12 Pro in Bangladesh may vary due to tax and other issues.
Final Words
While the four models of Xiaomi’s latest Redmi Note 12 series are different, they share some identical features, such as a 6.67-inch flat AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, and 900 nits peak brightness. The display also supports Dolby Vision, HDR 10, 10-bit color, and HDR 10+. All these models are powered by Dimensity 1080 chipset. But there are some significant differences too, but Note 12 Pro seems promising.
Note 12 Pro is great for photographers and regular gamers. So, if you want the play regular games rather than 3D games, this phone is for you as you are getting a long-lasting massive battery. Redmi Note 12 should also be great for fashion enthusiasts as the back colors are fascinating.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Review: Can it fulfil users’ expectations
Xiaomi released its Redmi Note 12 series on October 27 in China. This series has 4 models, including Note 12, pro, Pro+, and Explorer Edition. Note 12 is the basic model in the Redmi Note 12 lineup. Although Note 12 serves as a starting point for the Redmi Note 12 series and provides the greatest bargain for certain customers, it is far from a low-end device. It has a few good features with some drawbacks. Let’s take a look at whether Redmi Note 12 can fulfill the expectations of the Xiaomi fans.
Key Features of Xiaomi Redmi Note 12
Design
The Redmi Note 12 is a masterpiece in this area, as Xiaomi has essentially mastered the art of making its phones seem to be flagships. While choices from manufacturers like Nokia and Motorola make a valiant effort, they tend to have a certain clunky feel that Xiaomi continually avoids with its tiny budget phones.
The 6.67-inch screen dominates the front, which has very tiny bezels all the way around. The "chin" has a somewhat larger frame, but even so, it is still just a few centimeters thick. There is very little area utilized for anything other than the screen because of a tiny notch at the very top of the display in the middle.
Read More: Apple iPad, iPad Pro 2022 Review: World’s most advanced tablets
the dimensions are 165.9 by 76.2 by 8 mm. Weighing 188g Note 12 won’t feel much heavy. It bears dual SIM. IP53 grade splash and dust resistance make the device more user-friendly.
The stylishness is seen on both sides. Even though it is slightly prone to smearing, the smooth plastic is pleasant to hold and gradually slopes toward the corners. A sizable rectangle in the upper left corner perfectly encloses the dual-camera array.
Display
The screen of the Redmi Note 12 is a 6.67-inch OLED device with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 or 409 pixels per inch. It is also capable of 120Hz refresh rates, however, you have to choose this option since 60Hz is the default.
Read More: Top 10 phones coming to Bangladesh in November 2022
And except for one aspect, it's a great screen. With a volume of 95.8%, it shows a complete spectrum of colors in an accurate and brilliant manner and covers 95.4% of the sRGB gamut. Despite using OLED technology, it still has a good 428cd/m2 brightness level, making it legible unless on the brightest of days. Due to OLED technology, contrast is also excellent.
All of this results in a screen that is on par with others in this price range (and several above it), but there is one peculiar aspect. The text on the menus sometimes drags and appears in two locations at once for a little period of time, making the text look as if it can't keep up with the pace of screen refresh.
Camera
Depending on your perspective, the Redmi Note 12's inclusion of no less than 2 cameras on the rear is impressive—or too ambitious. There is just a 2MP (f/2.4) depth sensor in addition to the wide 48MP primary camera. The main sensor features a 0.8 nichrome lens size.
Read More: vivo V25, V25e Review: Is the Price Difference Justified?
On paper, everything seems great, but the pudding is the true test, and to stretch the analogy too far, this dessert is noticeably underdone or more accurately, undersaturated.
On the front side, the Note 12 sports an 8MP wide selfie camera featuring an aperture of f/2.0, with a 1/4" and 1.12µm lens size. The 8MP front-facing camera exhibits the under-saturation issue while taking selfies.
With the main rear camera, you can shoot 1080p footage at 30 or 60fps; while the selfie camera allows you to capture 1080p footage at 30fps.

Performance and Software
Things have been going rather well up until now, but they are about to take a turn for the worst.
The scores gave a rather mixed image of the capabilities of the Qualcomm Snapdragon, despite the fact that the Redmi Note 12 feels absolutely quick while surfing the internet and switching between apps. The processor used is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 6nm chipset, and it is accompanied by Adreno 619 GPU.
Note 12 has up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage space. Its variants are 4/128GB, 6/128GB 6GB, 8/128GB, and 8/256GB. The device features UFS 2.2 data transfer technology.
Read More: realme C30 Review: An entry-level phone with smooth performance
To evaluate the gaming performance of Redmi Note 12 we have done 3D testing. It has almost half the performance of the similarly priced competitor phones.
Battery and Charger
A battery with a capacity of 5,000 mAh is considered to be rather ample; the only time you'll need to go for a charger throughout the day is if you're engaging in energy-intensive activities such as gaming or GPS navigation.
It's remarkable that after an hour of watching a streaming video with the volume turned down and the brightness turned all the way up, the battery only dropped by five percent despite these extreme conditions.
Read More: Infinix Zero Ultra Review: Worth the hype?
Because of its low price point, the Redmi Note 12 does not support wireless charging, which is to be anticipated in a device of this kind. On the other hand, the wired 33W charging works quite great, and you can get a full charge on this phone in a little over an hour if you start from zero. There is no cause for concern with regard to the charge of the battery or the duration of its use.
Price of Redmi Note 12 in Bangladesh
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 is not available in Bangladesh officially, yet. In the China market, it costs 1199 yuan or BDT 16,846. The conversion rate here is 1 Yuan = 14.05 Taka. However, the official price of Redmi Note 12 in Bangladesh may vary due to tax and other issues.
Conclusion
Though Note 12, like any other cheap phone, is a negotiated settlement, its design, screen, build quality, battery life, and other common features seem standard. However, its camera quality and general performance are where the users will notice the concessions in the price.

Xiaomi launches Redmi Note 12 series: Can it hold the legacy?
Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has recently launched the 12th version of its popular Note Series smartphones. The latest Redmi Note 12 Series has appeared in four different versions: the standard 12, the 12 Pro, the 12 Pro+, and the 12 Explorer Edition.
The Redmi Note 12 5G receives Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC while MediaTek's Dimensity 1080 chipset is provided in all three Pro variants.
Redmi Note 12 Explorer Edition
The MediaTek Dimensity 1080 Octa-core processor and Mali-G68 MC4 GPU power the smartphone. The smartphone has an OLED display with a 6.67-inch diagonal and a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels.
Read More: Apple iPad, iPad Pro 2022 Review: World’s most advanced tablets
There are three cameras on the back: a 200 MP wide-angle lens, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro lens. The wide-angle front camera sports a 16 MP sensor. The gadget has sensors like an optical fingerprint reader, an accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass.
A non-removable Li-Po 4300 mAh battery, fast charging at 210W, 66% in 5 minutes, and 100% in 9 minutes (as stated), as well as USB Power Delivery 3.0 power the smartphone. The phone's Android 12 + MIUI 13 operating system ensures lag-free performance.
The price for the single 8GB RAM + 256GB storage model of the Redmi Note 12 Explorer Edition is CNY 2,399 (about $328 or TK33800), while the price for the same model of the Redmi Note 12 Trend Edition with a striped pattern is CNY 2,599 (approximately $356 or TK36500).

Redmi Note 12 Pro+ vs Redmi Note 12 Pro
Design
Both the Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ models have 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED panels with 120Hz refresh rates, making their specifications almost equal. Both phones have the Dimensity 1080 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of fixed storage that cannot be expanded.
Camera
In terms of cameras, the Pro+ has an advantage because it is the first Redmi phone to feature a 200MP camera that uses a Samsung ISOCELL HPX sensor. This 1/1.4-inch sensor features QPD autofocus and 16-to-1 pixel binning.

The efficiencies of iPads have significantly increased over the last several years. Nowadays, an Apple tablet is capable of doing a far wider range of tasks than it could in the past. So, many people are simply replacing their business laptops with these incredible gadgets. Let’s take a look at the key features of iPad 2022 (10th generation) and iPad Pro 2022 models.
Apple iPad vs iPad Pro: A Comparative Review
What are the differences between the iPad from the iPad Pro, and how can you tell which one is the better option for you?
Design
iPad Pro 2022 model comes in two sizes 11-inch and 12.9-inch.
To be quite clear, the iPad Pro is an absolutely delightful piece of hardware. It contains a multitude of cameras. Both the front and back cameras feature depth sensors that might be utilized for augmented reality (AR) or 3D scanning. It operates really fast. The display and speakers are excellent, particularly on the model with a 12.9-inch screen.

The iPad Pros include screens that employ Apple's ProMotion variable refresh rate technology, much like the iPhone 13 Pro and 14 Pro. These displays have a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes it incredibly easy to browse through content and use the device overall since it is so fluid.
The iPad 2022 is the first iPad to fully adopt a full-screen design with narrow bezels rather than the other iPads' traditional big bezels and home buttons.
This brings about a number of significant improvements for the iPad. Because currently there is no home button. The fingerprint sensor that is used for Touch ID is now integrated into the power button that is located on the top frame.

No matter how you use the iPad, you won't have any trouble getting to it, and its speed and dependability will live up to your expectations. The improved design also makes room for an enhanced two-speaker landscaping system to be installed.
Display
Apple is able to fit a substantially bigger display into the same footprint due to the iPad's thinner bezels. The iPad 2022 has a 10.9-inch display, as opposed to the 10.2-inch display of the previous iPad versions. This means extra space for applications, games, and movies.
As for the display quality, you have instantly been reminded of the iPad's rudimentary origins. The display has a resolution of 2360 x 1640. In addition, it boasts a maximum brightness of 500 nits and Apple's True Tone display technology.

However, its display misses many of the luxuries seen on the Air. Specifically, the display is not laminated to the front glass, lacks an anti-reflective coating, and lacks P3 wide color gamut support.
The 11-inch iPad Pro 2022 model comes with an 11-inch screen featuring a 2388-by-1668-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch (PPI).
On the other hand, in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2022 model, you get a 2732-by-2048-pixel resolution at 264 PPI in the 12.9-inch display. Not to mention, a larger screen is always a welcome addition, as it makes working with many applications less cramped.

iPad Pro 2022 models are blessed with Wide color display (P3) technology, True Tone Display and many more features.
Camera
Additionally, Apple made a number of noteworthy enhancements to the camera system included on the new iPad. It now sports a rear camera with the same 12-megapixel (F/1.8) resolution as the Air. Although it is not the greatest camera on the market, it is now capable of capturing video in 4K resolution, when the model from the previous year could only achieve a maximum of 1080p.
iPad Pro has installed Wide and Ultra Wide cameras. The Wide camera features12MP a sensor with ƒ/1.8 aperture; while the Ultra Wide camera sports a 10MP sensor with ƒ/2.4 aperture, and a 125° field of view. You can shoot 4K footage with iPad Pro 2022 models.

Performance and Software
iPadOS 16 offers a wonderful user experience in the iPad Pro 2022 model. It has 64GB RAM. The internal storage ranges from 128GB to 2TB.
The iPad Pro 2022 from Apple is equipped with Apple's M2 chip. The fact that this tablet utilizes the same processor as the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with a 13-inch screen from this year makes it a strong contender for the title of most powerful tablet currently available.
Apple claims that the eight-core CPU, which has four performance cores and four efficiency cores, offers an increase in performance of fifteen percent over the M1 processor. The ten-core GPU will offer visuals that are 35% quicker than the M1 GPU.

Battery and Charger
10th-generation iPad is supported by a 28.6‐watt-hour rechargeable lithium‑polymer battery. To tell you the truth, you won’t be blown away by its 10-hour battery life. The limited battery life might have been due to the fact that you will need to incorporate the tablet into your workflow. At the conclusion of each of the first two days of your trip, you will have anywhere between 20 and 30 percent completed.
Thankfully, that has not been the case throughout the second half of the weeklong testing that you will be doing, and you will have every reason to believe that the seven to eight hours of usage that you receive each day will continue for the foreseeable future.
The implementation of USB-C as the standard port on all iPads, however, has been a blessing in disguise. Because you just need one charger to power your smartphone, laptop, wireless earphones, and your iPad.

vivo V25, V25e Review: Is the Price Difference Justified?
Chinese global technology business vivo Communication Technology Co. Ltd., also known as vivo, is based in Dongguan, Guangdong. Starting the journey in 2009, vivo creates software, online services, online services, and smartphone accessories. vivo V25 5G and V25e 4G are the latest addition to vivo 25 series lineup. These smart-looking smartphones feature color-changing design that helps them stand out from the crowd. Both phones got released in Bangladesh on 25th September. They come with their differences while sharing too many similar features.
Key Features of vivo V25 and vivo V25e
Design
The vivo V25 and vivo V25e both are powerful mobile devices. Both devices, much like the vivo V25 Pro, have arguably high-end design elements.
When it comes to design, both phones resemble just the same. You get built front and back panels in these devices. The dimensions (159.2 x 74.2 x 7.8 mm) are similar for both devices. However, V25e is a bit lighter (183g) than its counterpart V25 (186g).
The corners are so elegantly cut that they seem like they might cut you. And since it's shaped like a brick, you can feel the millimeters that make up its thickness.

A fingerprint scanner is built right into the screen for both phones, and it performs quite well. Although this kind continues to give off a more premium feel than the side-loaded variety, there isn’t any genuine advantage to selecting this type over the traditional side style. However, this one is rather effective.
There is no headphone jack, although the sides are flat and reveal a large space where one might easily be installed. You can't add a microSD card, either. Both of these approaches will likely dissuade prospective purchasers who may otherwise be interested in the phone.
The only difference in the design area is that the V25 offers an extra color variation. You can get both phones in Elegant Black and Sunrise Gold colors; while the V25 also comes in a Surfing Blue hue.

Display
The display portion has nothing unidentical between V25 and V25e.
The AMOLED display of the vivo V25 and vivo 25e is 6.44 inches and features a refresh rate of 90 Hz. The resolution is 2404 by 1080 pixels, which may seem peculiar but is very standard, and there is a teardrop notch at the very top.
There are panels with 120Hz available at roughly this price. However, unless you are moving from a phone that already has 120Hz, do not believe 90Hz is a significant step-down. In addition, it is probably essential to the phone's ability to have a reasonably long battery life. More will be spoken about it at a later time.

The contrast is excellent, and the colors are vibrant, both of which are characteristics that are almost assured with an AMOLED display. There is the regular color mode, the professional color mode, and the brilliant color mode. The first two are strong, but you can go with "professional." It has a wonderful appearance, giving the impression to your eyes of being more saturated than the sRGB color space, but on a mobile device, the sRGB color space seems somewhat subdued.
vivo claims that the display can reach up to 1300 nits. However, you won't see anything close to that number in practice. If you force the vivo V25 into its high brightness mode, which activates automatically when you are outside in intense sunlight, the screen reaches a brightness level of 780 nits. This makes the screen bright enough for comfortable usage outdoor.
Camera
Rear Camera
On the back side of vivo V25, three rear cameras are available. It has a 64MP wide main sensor that features f/1.8 aperture and 0.7 nicrome lens. It's 8MP ultra-wide sensor comes with an f/2.2 aperture, 16mm wide and 120-degree field-of-view. Due to the 8MP resolution, those images don't stand up well under close inspection and frequently struggle to capture more intricate natural textures. The rear camera series also includes a 2MP macro sensor with f/2.4 aperture.
Read Infinix Zero Ultra Review: Worth the hype?
V25e has 3 sensors on the rear side. The 64MP main sensor and the 2MP macro sensor are the same as V25, the only difference is the ultra-wide sensor. The V25e’s ultra-wide camera is 2MP. Vivo's effective HDR optimization may provide instantly memorable shots, especially during the day. The V25e’s 2MP ultrawide lens doesn’t fall short of the ability to capture great pictures compared to V25’s 8MP.
Compared to the more expensive V25 Pro, the video functions are not much worse. With software stabilization at least somewhat successful, with the vivo V25 version, 4K video can still be captured at 30 frames per second.
Both vivo V25 and V25e can capture 1080p footage at 30fps. When you switch to 1080p capture, the Ultra stabilized mode becomes available. This drives the software stabilizing process with a much more drastically cropped view.

On the whole, both vivo V25 5G and vivo 25e 4G phones are excellent options under the mid-range price levels. If you want to do heavy-duty gaming, go for the V25.
