In a landscape where competitors are dialling back core hardware, the Nord 6 makes a persuasive case as a performance-focused disruptor in its segment.

The Nothing Phone 4a Pro has a slim and stylish metal unibody design that’s also durable with an IP65 rating resisting dust and water. The phone has a unique-looking contoured camera module which now comes with a Glyph Matrix sourced from its flagship.

The display is bright and vivid, resulting in a good overall viewing experience. The performance is decent, though the brand has cut some corners in terms of memory type. The cameras are decent, though the telephoto is surely a miss here. The battery lasts up to 2 days on a full charge with normal use. That said, if you are looking for a noteworthy Xiaomi smartphone, you might consider this one.

The Realme GT 7 delivers a powerful performance in terms of battery, display, and overall capabilities. The 7,000mAh battery, combined with 120W fast charging, sets a benchmark at this price point, while 6000 nits of peak brightness makes it brighter than the iPhone 16. The camera department is not the biggest highlight of the GT 7, though. For gaming enthusiasts, the phone can deliver on every front. Keeping in sync with market trends, the GT 7 features a host of AI enhancements, which is a welcome addition.
