Mi 10i vs Realme X7

After the launch of Mi 10i, it revived the 25k price segment. Then, Realme saw an opportunity and launched their new phone in the 'X' series that is the X7.

Today we'll compare both of these phones and see which one is the better pick.

DESIGN & BUILT

The Mi 10i comes with a glossy Glass back with textured finish  whereas the Realme X7 comes with a glossy finished polycarbonate back. For safety, Mi 10i comes with Gorilla Glass 5 and the X7 comes with Gorilla Glass 3. In thickness and weight Mi 10i feels heavy as well as bulky as it weighs 219g at 9mm of thickness whereas the X7 is better in in-hand feels as it is quite lighter and doesn’t feel bulky at all. The X7 weighs 183g at 8.3mm of thickness. One advantage that the Mi 10i has over the X7 is that, the Mi 10i is IP-53 rated i.e. it can handle splashes of water easily.

One advantage that the Mi 10i has is the 120hz refresh rate which makes the phone buttery smooth. And one advantage X7 has is the sAMOLED display which is ahead of this IPS display used in the Mi 10i.

SOFTWARE

Both these phones have their own custom UI i.e. Mi 10i has MIUI 12 and Realme X7 has Realme UI 1.0 . Both are decent enough, but in my opinion Realme UI is a better choice as it has better RAM management and the UI is kind of better than MIUI as it has less Ads and bloatware.


PORTS & AUDIO

Both phone has all the same ports except the 3.5mm headphone jack which is not found in Realme X7. One advantage that Mi 10i has is the hybrid Sim slot. You might be wondering why is it an advantage? because the X7 only has a dual Sim slot. You can't put any SD card in it and that too in this price range. For the audio, as the Mi 10i supports dual stereo speakers it is simply ahead of the Realme X7.


SECURITY & BIOMETRICS

Both the smartphones support Face Unlock, and both work equally well. The difference here is for the fingerprint sensor. Mi 10i has a side mounted fingerprint sensor whereas the Realme X7 has in-display fingerprint scanner. Mi 10i simply wins as, it has a side mounted fingerprint scanner. But Realme X7's in-display fingerprint scanner looks really cool.

  • Good Camera
  • Strong built
  • Smooth experience
+ Points for Realme X7

  • Fast charging
  • Attractive design
  • Better display
  • Also you can save Rs 2,000 
In my opinion if you don't have any budget issue simply go with the Mi 10i as it is a better package overall. I am not saying Realme X7 is a bad phone or it lack features. It has almost everything Mi 10i has, but in Mi 10i those features are a bit better overall.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Review

The GeForce RTX 3060 Nvidia long awaited premium mid range Ampere architecture GPU. This, is the one that's destined to top Steam Charts for the most popular gaming card on the planet for at least as long as it's forefather or fore grandfather the GTX 1060 did.  But that assumes a couple of things doesn't it? One, that it's actually any good. And of course number two, that Nvidia can make enough of them.  It's hard to believe that the GTX 1060 is nearly five years old at this point. That's how long it's been since anything has even come close to the level of bang for the buck that this card represented. It beat out the contemporary Polaris-based RX 480 and AMD's hey at least you tried RX 580 Refresh, then Nvidia themselves tried to make the magic lightening strike again. First with the RTX 2060, then with their GTX 1600 series. I mean those are both good products, don't get me wrong, but the 1060 is still the top dog on Steam's Hardware Survey, s...

Narzo 30 Pro: Review

Recently Realme launched there new phones in the Narzo series that are Narzo 30A & Narzo 30 Pro. Today we'll do a review on the Narzo 30 Pro- BOX CONTENTS First up is the case of the phone, the device itself, 30Watt Super Dart Charger with type-C cable, SIM ejector pin and finally some papers & warranty. DESIGN & BUILT This time there’s a change in the design. Now it’s a matte polycarbonate back with dual effect which looks pretty appealing. Also, it has curved edges. The phone weighs at around 200 grams with 9.2mm of thickness. Physical overview- On the top is nothing but only a secondary mic, On the left are the volume rockers with unfortunately a hybrid slot only, this wasn’t expected. However on the right is the power button which also works as a fingerprint sensor. Towards the bottom are the 3.5mm headphone jack, a mic, type-C port and speaker. There is a Triple camera setup for the rear and for the front is the punch hole notch. RAM & STORAGE    ...

Narzo 30 series: First Look

Another month and another Realme phone. Yeah! Realme launched their new phones in the Narzo series that are the Narzo 30A & Narzo 30 Pro. Firstly, talking about the Narzo 30 Pro. It features a 6.5inch FHD+ with 120Hz refresh rate and 180Hz of touch sampling. Also, it has 90.8% screen to body ratio. Peak brightness is upto 600nits but nothing to worry about as it also has an eye protection mode. Thumbs up to them. Narzo 30 Pro powers a 5000mah battery with 30W VOOC charge. For this kind of fast charging Realme also insured that the Narzo 30 Pro is equipped with smart Five dimension Charge Protection. So, if any high temperature or over Voltage is detected the charging process stops immediately to ensure safety. Also it supports reverse charging. Phone has a triple camera setup in which primary is the 48mp Samsung sensor. Second one is an 8mp ultra wide angle lens and the third one (useless) is the 2mp macro camera. The rear camera has features like Nightscape, Chroma boost, AI beaut...
