Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro Review: Can It Survive the Competition?
Xiaomi launched the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro in China on April 24, 2025. Coming at a mid-range budget segment, the phone positions itself among popular choices like the Vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo, Oppo Reno 13 F, Motorola Edge 60 Pro, etc. Here is a detailed review of the Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro’s features, performance, pros, cons, and pricing compared to other similarly priced smartphones.
Key Features and Specifics of Redmi Turbo 4 Pro
.
Design
The Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro has a minimal and polished look that resembles the iPhone 16 series from many angles. Its aluminium alloy frame measures 6.42 inches by 3.07 inches by 0.31 inches and gleams in a silver reflection under light. Despite its linear design, the phone feels heavy, having a giant battery inside and weighing around 219g.
By structure, the phone is a glass-front, metal-mid, and glass-back sandwich. Though the rear-glass panel may grab fingerprints easily, it’s usually a pristine and transparent panel. The finely finished frames around the sides and the glittering glass covers contribute to a premium yet clutter-free, solid aesthetic.

On the top left corner of the back panel is a vertical camera stage with a rounded top and bottom. On it lie two circular lens holders decorated with an RGB light surrounding each. The lights come with customisability options that let users personalise colours. The front camera sits in a slim punch hole at the top middle.
Users will get an IP68-rated water and dust resistance that allows for shallow water dipping and fair durability. The usual buttons, microphone, speaker, and charging ports are placed around the sides, keeping a perfect spatial balance. However, users looking to plug in their headphones will be disheartened as the phone lacks the 3.5mm port.
The overall design of the Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro offers nothing unique. Similar iPhone-inspired looks with a few unique touches on the camera panels, colours, and branding have become prevalent among Chinese smartphones. The Oppo Reno 13 F and Vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo have their own custom touches but don’t fall far from the trend. The only exception is the Motorola Edge 60 Pro, which inherits Motorola’s usual vogue. The Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro only surpasses other models in terms of weight.

Display
The Turbo 4 Pro's screen is a 6.83-inch AMOLED panel. It can render sharper and clearer visuals at a 1280 x 2772 pixel resolution. Graphics rendered on the screen are colour accurate and vivid, thanks to its 68B distinct colour depiction ability. Besides such a massive display, which is the biggest at this price, the phone keeps the chin and bezels super narrow, delivering a vast viewing field.
If nothing else, users will get a great visual experience from the phone. Pixels are placed at a 447 ppi rate, which ensures crispness and clarity. Maximising the experience, several dynamic visual technologies exist, like Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HBM. Touch response is also satisfactory with its 120Hz refresh rate. Daylight can’t dim out the panel’s lustre, as it has a peak brightness level of 3200 nits.
The use of an AMOLED panel is common for most phones at this price; for example, the Oppo Reno 13 F and Vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo. Only the Motorola Edge 60 Pro comes on top with its curved POLED. Both the Vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo and the Motorola Edge 60 Pro have come with brightness levels higher than 4000 nits.

Cameras
The Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro offers a rather simple camera setup. The rear camera module houses a 50MP wide-angle and an 8MP ultrawide sensor. The selfie camera is a 20MP lens.
Users willing to buy a phone in this price range expect more lenses with more power. Even though phones like the Vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo feature an even lower configuration: a 2MP depth with no ultrawide support and a 16MP front, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro has set the new benchmark in this range with a 50MP ultrawide, 10MP telephoto, and 50MP selfie.
It can capture a maximum of 4K and 1080 MP video footages with the main rear and front sensors, respectively. The Motorola Edge 60 Pro outperforms the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, iQOO Z10 Turbo, and Reno13 F with its 4K video shooting feature.

Hardware, Software, and Performance
The Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is among the few smartphones that feature a 4nm Qualcomm SM8735 Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. While faster, Gen 4 drains more charge than the previous generation chipset. An Adreno 825 chipset comes along as a graphical processing unit.
Five different variations of the phone offer diverse RAM and ROM combinations: 256GB ROM and 12GB RAM, 256GB ROM and 16GB RAM, 512GB ROM and 12GB RAM, 512GB ROM and 16GB RAM, and 1TB and 16GB RAM. Not to mention, offering a 1TB memory option, Redmi Turbo 4 Pro outwins the Edge 60 Pro, Turbo 4 Pro, Z10 Turbo, and Reno13 F.
Like the iQOO Z10 Turbo, the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro sports the latest UFS 4.1 data transfer mechanism.
Gaming on this phone gives a smooth experience, leveraging the full power of the robust CPU, an assisting GPU, and strong RAM. The experience gets more immersive with the vivid, chromatic, and touch-responsive display.

No other phone at this price offers higher efficiency than a Gen 4 chipset. Among competitors, the Oppo Reno 13 F’s Qualcomm SM6450 Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and the Motorola Edge 60 Pro’s Mediatek Dimensity 8350 Extreme are notable.
Battery and Charger
The Xiaomi Turbo 4 Pro boasts a giant 7550 mAh battery that can run for 6 to 7 hours at a stretch even with extensive gaming sessions and media consumption. Backing this huge battery is a 90W superfast charger that takes a couple of hours or more to refill a depleted battery. The phone also offers a 22.5 mAh reverse charging system.
Even though there has been a noticeable trend among Chinese smartphones to come up with powerful batteries nowadays, only a few have as powerful as the one in the Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. Only the vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo has a bigger one, 7620 mAh, among competitors.

vivo iQoo Z10 Turbo Review: Is It the Mid-Range Beast You Are Looking For?
The vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo, launched on April 28, 2025, is the latest addition to vivo's mid-range lineup. Packed with impressive features, this device aims to deliver top-tier performance without breaking the bank. Let's look at the camera, processor, display, battery, gaming performance, and pricing of the iQOO Z10 Turbo in Bangladesh.
key Features of vivo iQoo Z10 Turbo
.
Design and Build Quality
The vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo showcases a modern design with a glass front and a plastic back, housed within a sturdy plastic frame. With dimensions of 163.7 x 75.9 x 8.1 mm and weighing 212g, it has a solid feel in hand, exuding a balance between durability and elegance. This phone is available in four colour options: black, white, orange, and gold. It supports IP65 certification, making it resistant to dust and water jets—something that sets it apart from the iQOO Z9 Turbo's slightly inferior IP64 rating.
Compared to the vivo T4, which is MIL-STD-810H compliant, the Z10 Turbo does not aim for rugged use but still promises decent protection in everyday conditions. Honor Power, although having a sleek and compact form factor, only offers manufacturer-rated water resistance (up to 50cm for 1 min), making the Z10 Turbo a more reliable option for durability under various environmental conditions.

Display Quality
The Z10 Turbo’s 6.78-inch AMOLED display is a treat for visual enthusiasts. Thanks to its 1260 by 2800 resolution and ~453 PPI pixel density, the display delivers exceptionally sharp and clear visuals. It supports 1B colours, HDR, and a blazing 144Hz refresh rate, offering smooth transitions and vibrant visuals.
What is truly impressive is the iQOO Z10 Turbo’s 4400 nits peak brightness—just a notch below the Z9 Turbo’s remarkable 4500 nits and well behind the T4’s class-leading 5000 nits peak under specific HDR conditions. Honor Power’s 4000 nits peak display is solid, but it still does not outshine the competition. Combined with an always-on display and AMOLED technology, the Z10 Turbo offers deep blacks, vibrant colours, and an excellent viewing experience in daily use and multimedia playback.
Camera Performance
The iQOO Z10 Turbo’s camera setup includes a dual system with a 50 MP primary sensor (f/1.8, 1/1.95", PDAF, OIS) and a 2 MP (f/2.4) depth sensor with HDR and panorama. This setup excels at producing sharp and colour-accurate photos, especially in daylight. Thanks to OIS and gyro-EIS, video stability is excellent, supporting 4K recording on the main (rear) sensor that maintains crisp detail.
Read more: OnePlus Nord 5: What We Know So Far
In comparison, the iQOO Z9 Turbo sports a similar primary sensor but adds an 8 MP (f/2.2) ultrawide camera with HDR and panorama, providing more versatility, especially for landscape and group shots. The T4 mirrors the Z10 Turbo’s rear camera setup, while its 32MP selfie shooter with 4K video shooting capacity outperforms the Z10 Turbo’s 16MP (f/2.5) front sensor that can shoot a maximum of 1080p footage.
Honor Power also features a 50MP camera, but with a slightly larger sensor (1.56") and a 5MP ultrawide lens, offering slightly more flexibility. However, Z10 Turbo pulls ahead with a superior colour spectrum sensor and faster processing for better low-light performance.
Processor Performance
At the core of the Z10 Turbo lies the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset, a 4nm octa-core processor that combines Cortex-A725 cores at up to 3.25 GHz and a G720 MC7 GPU. This architecture delivers fast, efficient performance suitable for power users. Benchmarks and real-world testing reveal that it rivals the Qualcomm SM8635 Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the iQOO Z9 Turbo, which is also built on a 4nm process but boasts a slightly higher-performing CPU/GPU combination (Cortex-X4 and Adreno 735).
Read more: Best 10 Smartphones Releasing in May 2025
However, the Z10 Turbo holds its ground well, especially in sustained tasks. Compared to the Qualcomm SM7635 Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 in the vivo T4 and the Qualcomm SM7550-AB Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in Honor Power, the Dimensity 8400 easily outclasses both in multitasking, app launches, and raw processing power, making the Z10 Turbo an all-rounder in performance.
Gaming Performance
Gaming on the Z10 Turbo is smooth and responsive, powered by the Dimensity 8400 chipset and Mali-G720 MC7 GPU. Heavy games like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty: Mobile run smoothly on high settings, with minimal frame drops. The 144Hz display complements this feature by providing fluid gameplay.
Compared to the iQOO Z9 Turbo, which uses the more gaming-optimised Adreno 735 GPU, the experience is neck and neck, though the Z9 Turbo might have a slight advantage in ultra-high-end gaming. The vivo T4, limited by its Adreno 710 GPU (940 MHz) and lower peak brightness, lags behind in delivering consistent gaming performance.
Read more: vivo V50 Lite Review: Does it offer value-for-money
Honor Power fares decently with the Adreno 720 GPU but lacks the refresh rate and processing fluidity offered by the Z10 Turbo. Thermal management on the Z10 Turbo is also commendable, with the phone staying cool during extended sessions.
Battery Life
With its large 7620mAh Si/C Li-Ion battery, the Z10 Turbo offers excellent battery life that easily lasts beyond a full day for most users. It supports 90W fast charging, which powers the device to 100% in just 55 minutes, plus reverse wired charging support. This large battery capacity is a standout feature in its price range.
In comparison, the iQOO Z9 Turbo features a 6000 mAh cell with 80W charging and 7.5W reverse charging, which is fast but can not match the endurance of the Z10 Turbo. The vivo T4 has a 7300mAh (50% in 33 minutes) battery with similar charging capabilities (90W), 55W PPS, 44W UFCS, 7.5W reverse wired charging, and bypass charging. But despite having a huge battery, the T4’s real-world battery life is marginally shorter due to its less efficient processor.
Read more: Tecno Camon 40 Pro Review: Is It Worth It?
Honor Power wins on sheer capacity with its 8000mAh battery but only offers 66W wired and 5W reverse wired charging, resulting in longer top-up times. Overall, the Z10 Turbo strikes an excellent balance between capacity and charging speed.
Software and User Interface
Running on Android 15 with OriginOS 5, the Z10 Turbo offers a fluid, customisable, and feature-rich experience. OriginOS brings several enhancements, including smoother animations, better widget functionality, and smarter battery management. It is notably snappier and more intuitive than Android 14 OriginOS 4 found on the Z9 Turbo.
Compared to vivo T4’s Android 15 Funtouch 15, OriginOS feels more refined and less bloated, though both offer two major Android upgrades. Honor Power’s Android 15 MagicOS 9, although clean and smooth, does not match the level of optimisation and customisation flexibility provided by vivo’s software skin. Features like Always-On Display, Circle to Search, and performance tweaks make the Z10 Turbo a joy to use daily.

Storage Options
The Z10 Turbo comes in multiple configurations: 256GB/12GB RAM, 256GB/16GB RAM, 512GB/12GB RAM, and 512GB/16GB RAM. All variants use the blazing-fast UFS 4.1 standard, which ensures quicker app loading times, faster file transfers, and improved multitasking. This feature gives it a considerable edge over the iQOO Z9 Turbo’s UFS 4.0 storage, which, while fast, does not quite match the latest iteration. However, provision of a 1TB storage option could make the Z10 Turbo a better deal.
The vivo T4, with UFS 2.2 (128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM, and 256GB 12GB RAM) storage, clearly lags behind in speed and efficiency, making it less ideal for power users. Honor Power also misses out here, with no confirmed UFS 4.1 support, although its configurations are decent for the price. Lack of a microSD slot may be a downside for some, but with such generous internal storage, most users will not feel the pinch.
Pros and Cons of vivo iQoo Z10 Turbo
.
Pros
- Large 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate- Powerful Dimensity 8400 chipset- Comes with 12GB or 16GB RAM options- Stereo speakers for better sound quality- NFC and Infrared port included- In-display optical fingerprint sensor- Massive 7620 mAh battery- 90W fast charging support- Gyro-EIS, OIS support.
Read more: vivo iQoo Neo 10R Review: What’s new?
Cons
- No IP68-rated water and dust resistance- Rear camera setup includes only a 2 MP secondary lens- Lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack- No SD card slot- No ITB internal storage option- Lack of 4K video shooting option in the front sensor- Built with Plastic frame
Price of the vivo iQoo Z10 Turbo in Bangladesh
The Vivo iQoo Z10 Turbo is priced at approximately BDT 35,000 in Bangladesh.
Verdict
The vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo offers a smooth 144Hz AMOLED display, strong performance, long battery life, and fast charging. However, it lacks IP68 protection and a versatile camera setup. It is ideal for gamers and power users wanting performance on a budget. Not recommended for those needing top-tier camera features or a headphone jack.

Motorola Edge 60 Pro Review: Know the Pros and Cons
Motorola launched its latest lower mid-ranger, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro, in India on April 30, 2025. Moved by Motorola’s effort to bring remarkable phones to every budget segment, smartphone lovers are curious about what the new phone brings and how it plays against strong competitors like the Oppo F29 Pro, Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, and realme 14 Pro Plus. Let's take a look at the key features, performance, pros, cons, and pricing of the Motorola Edge 60 Pro in Bangladesh.
Key Features and Specs of Motorola Edge 60 Pro
.
Design
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro’s design combines a curved display, a softly textured back panel, a slim and light body, and dashing colours. The result is a stunning phone that looks unique yet doesn’t fall apart from Motorola’s signature style.
The phone’s body measures 6.33 inches by 2.88 inches by 0.32 inches. Given this measurement, what seems like a flagship-sized phone weighs only 186g. Motorola has kept the design minimal, lightweight, and easy to grip by using a plastic frame and a clean, mildly textured rear panel.
Read more: OnePlus Nord 5: What We Know So Far
The phone comes in three colour choices— Shadow, Dazzling Blue, and Sparkling Grape. The Shadow variant has a vegan leather finish, while the other two have nylon-esque textures.
Integration of IP68/IP69-rated water and dust resistance and MIL-STD-810H grade toughness promises great durability. With such features, the phone can run for 30 minutes under 1.5m of water.
Amid other phones available at this price, like the Oppo F29 Pro and Realme 14 Pro Plus, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro is distinctively noticeable for its original design. Only a few phones, like the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, have such distinguishable characteristics, which, like the Motorola phones, are inherited from their brand’s signature style.

Display
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro’s display is a 6.7-inch curved P-OLED screen that dazzles even under direct sunlight for its ability to reach a maximum of 4500 nits of brightness. Images render on the display at a 1220 by 2712 pixel resolution and look equally vivid throughout the screen. The HDR10+ and 1B colour technologies featured in the display play a big role in achieving colour-accurate visuals.
Among competitors, only the Realme 14 Pro Plus outplays the Edge 60 Pro’s display in visual quality, featuring an OLED display. Otherwise, even the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus, which is pricier than the Edge 60 Pro, comes with an AMOLED display. The only major difference between P-OLED and AMOLED displays is that the first one has a plastic substrate, while the latter uses glass. Plastic substrates are flexible and thinner, which makes P-OLED the perfect choice for curved and foldable displays. In contrast, OLED’s glass substrates can only be used in flat displays.
Cameras
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro’s primary camera setup comprises a 50MP (f/1.8) wide, a 50MP (f/2.0) ultrawide, and a 10MP (f/2.0) telephoto lens. The selfie camera on the front is also a 50MP (f/2.0) wide lens. Several assisting features like HDR, panorama, a colour spectrum sensor, AI modifier, and a light sensor enhance the image quality, auto modifications, camera functionalities, and modes.
Read more: vivo V50 Lite Review: Does it offer value-for-money
Major competitors like the Realme 14 Pro Plus, Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, and even from the higher tier, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus may offer similar 50MP wide and ultrawide lenses. But the Edge 60’s telephoto and selfie lenses stand out as the market’s best.
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro can shoot 4K footage at 30 fps at maximum, which we have seen in the realme 14 Pro+ and Nothing Phone 3a pro.
Hardware, Software, and Performance
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is powered by a 4nm Mediatek Dimensity 8350 Extreme octa-core processor. Accompanying it comes a Mali G615-MC6 graphical processor. Together, assisted by powerful RAM, 8GB or 12GB, the processors contribute to satisfactory performance. From high-end gaming to regular browsing, the phone runs smoothly without showing lags or blips.
Read more: Tecno Camon 40 Pro Review: Is It Worth It?
Usually, the 4nm Qualcomm SM7635 Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset is the most popular at this price, used in phones like the Oppo F29 Pro and Realme 14 Pro Plus and also in higher-priced phones like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus. Motorola’s opting for the Dimensity processor demonstrates the company’s effort to keep it minimal without compromising performance.
At its price, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro offers performative and sufficient RAM and storage options. There are three distinct variations: 256GB storage with 8GB RAM, 256GB storage with 12GB RAM, and 512GB storage with 12GB RAM.
Coupled with a robust processor and high RAM, the Edge 60 Pro provides satisfactory gaming and daily task performance. From downloading, installing, and navigating through different applications to playing high-end games like Genshin Impact and PUBG, the phone provides smooth and lag-free support.
Read more: Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus Review: Is it a value-for-money midrange smartphone?
The personalised version of Android 15 that comes with the Edge 60 resembles the Google Pixel’s operating system in look and feel. A dedicated AI button placed on the side rail streamlines tasks like checking notifications, using AI modifiers, or changing settings.
Battery and Charger
A shift in the capacity of batteries in lower mid-range smartphones is becoming more noticeable with every launch. Even in the previous year, batteries of the most powerful smartphones in this price segment hardly offered higher power storage than 5000 mAh. But this year, several phones like the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro and Realme 14 Pro+ have featured stronger batteries with 6000 mAh capacity.
Following the trend, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro offers a 6000 mAh silicon carbon battery. With such massive battery capacity, the runtime is easily stretchable to a day and a half, even after extended gaming sessions.
Read more: vivo iQoo Neo 10R Review: What’s new?
Charging from zero to 100 percent takes less than a couple of hours, as the phone comes with a 90W superfast wired charger. Additionally, the phone features a 15W wireless and a 5W reverse wired charging system.

vivo V50 Lite Review: Does it offer value-for-money
The Chinese smartphone company vivo has unveiled the vivo V50 Lite in Bangladesh. The phone officially became available for sale on April 24, 2025, in Bangladesh. Offering a few robust features at a budget-friendly to lower midrange price, the phone has created hype among smartphone lovers. Here is a detailed review that highlights the key features, competitive value, pros, cons, and pricing of the vivo V50 Lite.
Key Features of vivo V50 Lite
In its price segment, the vivo V50 Lite confronts several phones like the Xiaomi Poco X7, vivo iQOO Z10, and TECNO CAMON 40 Pro. Let’s find out how the V50 Lite plays out among its competitors.
Design
The vivo V50 Lite looks sleek and stylish and has a height of 6.45 inches, a width of 3 inches, and a depth of 0.31 inches. Its mainframe is plastic-made with a glossy finish around the edges and a frosted texture on the back panel. Users expecting a metal body may feel disheartened, but it’s common for most brands to use a plastic body for their mid-range models. Devices like the TECNO CAMON 40, Xiaomi Poco X7, and vivo iQOO Z10 serve as clear examples of this industry trend.
Weighing 197g, the vivo V50 Lite appears a bit heavier than the Tecno Camon 40 Pro (179g) and the Xiaomi POCO X7 (up to 190g).

The linear camera panel, placed in the rear panel’s top left corner, resembles an exclamation mark. The panel is made of three vertically placed cutouts allotted for a primary camera, a depth sensor, and a flashlight. On the front, the display has a punch-hole camera cutout on its top and an in-display fingerprint sensor on the bottom area. The flat display spreads across the front, leaving little room for the bezels and chin.
Around the sides of the vivo V50 Lite, keeping a symmetrical balance in their positions, sit a microphone, active noise cancellation systems, volume rockers, and a SIM tray. Marking the second disappointment, the phone doesn’t offer an audio jack.
For a phone coming at a budget-friendly to lower midrange price, the vivo V50 Lite has nothing unusual about its design. Its camera panel caters to users who love a vertically placed camera module, while phones like the vivo iQOO Z10 and Xiaomi Poco X7 offer circular panels. The V50 Lite provides IP65 dust and water resistance and is compliant with MIL-STD-810H. That means it can survive mild water jets and occasional hand drops.

Display
The phone’s display is a 6.77-inch AMOLED screen with a Full HD+ resolution. Featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and a brightness range of 1300 nits to 1800 nits, the display responds fast to the touch and remains visible in direct sunlight. With a 1080 x 2392 pixel distribution and 388 ppi density, it can render vivid and colour-accurate graphics.
Among vivo V50’s competitors, none offer a better display, but the vivo iQOO Z10 has the highest brightness level of 5000 nits, the Xiaomi Poco X7 stands out with the highest resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels, and the Tecno Camon 40 Pro responds the fastest at a 144Hz refresh rate.
Cameras
The vivo V50 Lite’s photography features consist of two rear cameras and one front camera, keeping it simple yet not insufficient. The vertical rear camera module houses a 50MP (f/1.8) wide lens and a 2MP (f/2.2) depth sensor. It lacks an ultrawide lens, most expected at this budget, damaging the phone’s overall customer acceptance. The front camera is a 32MP (f/2.5) wide lens.

All the cameras work fine at capturing photos, regardless of the time of day. All the rivals at its price, including the vivo iQOO Z10, Xiaomi Poco X7, and the Tecno Camon 40 Pro, come with 50MP primary lenses, which makes the V50 Lite’s camera performance on par with the mass expectations. However, the Xiaomi Poco X7 and Tecno Camon 40 Pro outplay the V50 Lite by offering 8MP ultrawide lenses.
vivo V50 Lite has no 4K video recording capacity, which is offered by similarly priced rivals like the vivo IQOO Z10, Tecno Camon 40 Pro, and POCO X7.
Hardware, Software and Performance
The vivo V50 Lite runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 15, offering a smooth and intuitive experience with updated animations, improved privacy controls, and lightweight UI enhancements.
Under the hood, it’s equipped with the Snapdragon 685 chipset fabricated on a 6 nm node. The octa-core processor is configured as 4 × 2.8 GHz and 4 × 1.9 GHz, providing consistent performance for everyday use, though it’s not built for heavy-duty tasks or intensive gaming.

Among rivals, the vivo iQOO Z10 leads in raw performance with its Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, offering faster CPU cores and the Adreno 710 GPU. The Xiaomi Poco X7 and Tecno Camon 40 Pro also push ahead with more powerful chipsets—the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra and Dimensity 7300, respectively, both featuring Cortex-A78 cores and Mali-G615 MC2 GPUs for better gaming and multitasking performance. The iQOO Z10 also provides more configuration options, scaling up to 12 GB of RAM for users needing extra power.
Battery and Charger
The vivo V50 Lite comes equipped with a 6500 mAh silicon-carbon Li-ion battery, offering extended endurance for all-day use and beyond. It supports 90W wired charging, capable of reaching 50% in just 23 minutes and a full charge in 52 minutes.

Tecno Camon 40 Pro Review: Is It Worth It?
Tecno, known for delivering feature-packed smartphones at budget-friendly prices, continues to push boundaries with its camera-focused Camon series. The Tecno CAMON 40 Pro, expected to be released in Q2, 2025, brings major upgrades in photography, performance, and display. In this review, we will explore its strengths and weaknesses in design, display, camera, battery life, gaming performance, and more.
Key Features of Tecno CAMON 40 Pro
.
Design and Build Quality
The Tecno Camon 40 Pro features a sleek design with dimensions of 164.3 x 74.6 x 7.3 mm and a weight of 179g. Its slim profile is complemented by an IP68/IP69 rating, ensuring dust tightness and water resistance up to 2 meters for 30 minutes. The device is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, offering durability against scratches and minor impacts.
In comparison, the Tecno Camon 30 Pro measures slightly thicker at 7.7 mm and weighs 188.6g, while the Infinix Note 50 4G is heavier at 199g but features an aerospace-grade aluminium frame with an RGB notification light on the back panel. In contrast, the Oppo K13 5G is the heaviest of the group, weighing 208g with an 8.5 mm thickness, and it also features IP65-rated dust and water resistance.
Read more: Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus Review: Is it a value-for-money midrange smartphone?
Display Quality
Like the Camon 30 Pro, the Camon 40 Pro boasts a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2436 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 393 ppi. The screen supports a 144Hz refresh rate and HDR image support, providing smooth visuals and vibrant colours, which was also offered by the ancestor Camon 30 Pro. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protects the display and features an always-on display function.
The Infinix Note 50 4G matches the Camon 40 Pro’s 144Hz refresh rate but goes a step further with a peak brightness of 1300 nits, making it easier to see in bright light. Meanwhile, the Oppo K13 offers a slightly smaller 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate but a lower peak brightness of 1200 nits. This gives the Infinix Note 50 4G a clear edge in display visibility.
Camera Performance
The Camon 40 Pro is equipped with a dual rear camera setup, comprising a 50 MP primary sensor with an f/1.9 aperture, 1/1.56" sensor size, 1.0µm pixel size, PDAF, and OIS, along with an 8 MP ultrawide lens. This configuration supports 4K video recording at 30/60 fps and 1080p at 30 fps.

On the other hand, the Camon 30 Pro offers a triple rear camera setup with two 50 MP sensors (wide and ultrawide) and a 2 MP depth sensor, along with a 50 MP front camera. The downgrade of the ultrawide camera from 50MP to 8 MP in the Camon 40 Pro is disheartening.
The Oppo K13 is equipped with a 50 MP primary camera featuring an f/1.9 aperture, accompanied by a 2 MP depth sensor. On the front, it features a 16 MP selfie camera with an f/2.5 aperture. It can capture 4K video at maximum.
The Infinix Note 50 4G features a 50 MP main camera with an f/1.9 aperture and a 2 MP macro lens, while the front camera is 13 MP with an f/2.2 aperture. Capturing 1440p at highest capacity, it falls behind the race.

Gaming Performance
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 4nm chipset and Mali-G615 MC2 GPU, the Camon 40 Pro offers smooth performance for casual gaming and handles moderate multitasking efficiently. However, users may notice occasional frame drops during more demanding games or intensive usage.

In comparison, the Camon 30 Pro runs on Android 14 with HIOS 14 and offers up to two major Android upgrades.

Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus Review: Is it a value-for-money midrange smartphone?
The Infinix Note series has consistently delivered value-packed smartphones. Released in April 2025, the 50 Pro Plus, the latest addition to the Infinix Note Series, aims to take things up a notch. Let's check out the standout features, pros, cons, and pricing of the Infinix Note 50 Pro+ in Bangladesh.
Key Features of Infinix Note 50 Pro+
.
Design and Build Quality
The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus marks a significant step up in smartphone design, effortlessly combining style with durability. It features a premium build with a glass front and back framed by aerospace-grade aluminium, delivering both sturdiness and a luxurious feel.
Its dimensions are 163.4 x 74.5 x 8 mm, weighing about 209g. The slim profile, gentle curves, and RGB notification light on the back lend it a futuristic and standout appeal. Rated IP64, it is fully dust-tight and protected against water splashes—making it ideal for everyday environments.

In comparison, the Infinix Note 40 Pro+ opts for a lighter build with a plastic frame and eco-leather back, lacking the same premium touch. OnePlus Ace 3 Pro offers a strong build with bulkier options, while Vivo S19 Pro excels in water resistance with IP68/IP69K. The Sony Xperia 10 VI is lighter (164g), compact, and water-resistant but feels less robust due to its plastic frame.
Overall, the Note 50 Pro Plus strikes an excellent balance between design, durability, and modern aesthetics.
Display Quality
Infinix did not hold back on display technology with the Note 50 Pro Plus, offering a top-tier visual experience that punches well above its price point. It features a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with support for 1 billion colours, a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and 1300 nits peak brightness.
Whether you are scrolling through social media, binge-watching Netflix, or gaming, the experience is fluid and visually rich. Its 1080 by 2436 pixel resolution with about 393 ppi density ensures text and images remain crisp, and the always-on display is a functional and stylish bonus.

In contrast, the Note 40 Pro+ offers the same size, resolution, and brightness but is limited to a 120Hz refresh rate, resulting in slightly less fluidity. OnePlus Ace 3 Pro (LTPO AMOLED) and Vivo S19 Pro (LTPO) lead the pack with panels and an incredible 4500 nits brightness, ideal for direct sunlight use and richer contrast.
However, the Sony Xperia 10 VI falls short with its compact 6.1-inch OLED and just 60Hz refresh, making it less ideal for immersive media consumption. Despite strong competition, the Note 50 Pro Plus stands out with its vibrant, fluid, and highly responsive display, offering outstanding value for its price.
Camera Performance
The camera setup on the Infinix Note 50 Pro+ is remarkably versatile. Its triple rear camera includes a 50MP (f/1.9) wide lens with PDAF and OIS, a 50MP (f/2.4) periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP (f/2.2) ultrawide sensor.
The main sensor delivers balanced, sharp images with good dynamic range, while the telephoto lens provides impressive detail at zoomed levels, something rarely seen in mid-range phones. Video recording goes up to 4K at 60fps, with both EIS and OIS support ensuring stable footage.

Against the Note 40 Pro+, which features a 108MP (f/1.8) sensor but lacks telephoto or ultrawide quality, the Note 50 Pro Plus easily comes out on top in versatility. OnePlus Ace 3 Pro and Vivo S19 Pro both pack capable triple-camera setups with better tuning and low-light performance, though the S19 Pro stands out with dual 50MP sensors and superior HDR output. The Sony Xperia 10 VI offers a basic dual-camera layout — fine for casual users, but limited in features compared to the rest.
Selfie lovers will appreciate the Note 50 Pro Plus's 32MP (f/2.2) front camera with 4K recording — a rarity in this range. Vivo S19 Pro edges out with a 50MP (f/2.0) autofocus front cam, making it the go-to for content creators. Still, the Note 50 Pro Plus offers strong performance and flexibility, suitable for any photo scenario.
Processor Performance
Powering the Note 50 Pro Plus is the Mediatek Dimensity 8350, a 4nm chip that is no slouch. The octa-core setup with a prime Cortex-A715 core at 3.35 GHz ensures snappy responsiveness across the board.
Compared to the Dimensity 7020 on the Note 40 Pro+, the 8350 offers a noticeable leap in performance. It is closer in power to the Dimensity 9200+ in the Vivo S19 Pro, though the Vivo chip is slightly more advanced in AI tasks. OnePlus Ace 3 Pro dominates with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, currently the flagship standard, delivering exceptional speed and efficiency. Sony’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is clearly the slowest of the bunch, suited for light to moderate use.

In real-world usage, the Note 50 Pro Plus strikes an ideal balance — it is fast, efficient, and reliable for both daily drivers and power users, without the premium price tag.
Gaming Performance
Gaming on the Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus is a surprisingly fluid and immersive experience. With the Mali G615-MC6 GPU and a 144Hz AMOLED display, it smoothly runs fast-paced shooters, open-world games, and casual titles without breaking a sweat. Frame rates stay consistent, and the device stays cool even during extended play. The Bypass Charging feature is a smart addition, minimising heat while gaming and preserving battery health.
While it does not outclass the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro with its elite Adreno 750 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it holds its own commendably. Vivo S19 Pro performs well but not as fluidly. In contrast, the Note 40 Pro+ and Sony Xperia 10 VI struggle to keep up. For its price, the Note 50 Pro Plus is a budget-friendly gaming powerhouse.
Battery Life
The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus excels in battery performance with its robust 5200mAh silicon-carbon Li-Ion battery, easily lasting a full day of heavy use. It supports 100W wired charging, reaching 100% in just 32 minutes, and 50W wireless MagCharge, a standout feature in its price range. Reverse charging is also available—10W wired, 7.5W wireless, and bypass charging — ideal for powering other devices on the go.

In comparison, the Note 40 Pro+ has a smaller 4600mAh (50% in 12 minutes) battery with the same wired charging speed but shorter endurance. The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro leads in capacity with 6100 mAh and matches 100W charging. The Vivo S19 Pro offers 5500 mAh with slightly slower 80W wired charging. The Sony Xperia 10 VI includes a 5000mAh battery but lacks fast charging capabilities.
Overall, the Note 50 Pro Plus combines strong battery life with industry-leading fast charging, making it ideal for power users and a top choice in its segment.
Software and User Interface
The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus delivers a refined software experience with Android 15 (up to 2 major Android upgrades) and XOS 15. The UI is smooth, visually appealing, and highly customisable. Users can tweak themes and animations and utilise tools like AI Smart Scene, performance boosters, and game optimisations. The always-on display adds functionality, and two promised Android upgrades ensure some future-proofing.
Compared to the Note 40 Pro+ with XOS 14 (up to 2 major Android upgrades) on Android 14, this version is cleaner and more responsive. While there are a few pre-installed apps, most can be removed easily. In the broader landscape, ColorOS 14 on the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro feels more polished with advanced multitasking features. Vivo’s OriginOS 4 is visually rich but heavier, while Sony Xperia 10 VI keeps it minimal with near-stock Android.

Overall, XOS 15 strikes a solid balance between features and usability. It is responsive and user-friendly, offering more polish than previous Infinix iterations and competing well against pricier rivals.
Storage Options
Storage on the Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus is generous and future-ready. It comes with 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage paired with 12GB of RAM. The storage is blazing fast, ideal for large file transfers, quick app launches, and seamless multitasking. Plus, with UFS 4.0, users benefit from significantly improved read/write speeds over older formats like UFS 2.2 found in the Note 40 Pro+.
Compared to the Note 40 Pro+’s 12 GB RAM with 256 and 512GB internal storage options, the Note 50 Pro Plus is leagues ahead in speed, though it lacks the extra 512GB variant.
The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro goes even further, offering up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage with an insane 24GB RAM option — true flagship territory.

Vivo S19 Pro also provides several configurations up to 512GB and 16GB RAM with UFS 3.1, which is fast but slightly behind UFS 4.0 in performance. The Sony Xperia 10 VI lags here, offering just 128GB of slower UFS storage and 8GB RAM, though it supports microSD cards.
So, for most users, while the Note 50 Pro Plus offers great storage performance, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is the absolute best among the five for storage capacity and speed.

Trump's Social Media ‘Buy’ tip pays off as markets rally following tariff delay
Stocks were teetering Wednesday morning when Donald Trump posted some market advice on Truth Social.
At 9:37 a.m., Trump wrote: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.”
Just a few hours later, he announced a 90-day pause on nearly all tariffs. The market responded immediately, with stocks surging and the S&P 500 closing up 9.5%. That rebound recovered about $4 trillion in market value—roughly 70% of what had been lost over the previous four sessions.
It appeared to be a remarkably well-timed post from the former president—perhaps too well-timed.
“He enjoys having this kind of influence over the markets, but he’s playing with fire,” said Richard Painter, a former White House ethics attorney and Trump critic. Painter warned that securities laws forbid using or sharing insider information for trading advantage. “Anyone who acted on that post made significant profits.”
Now the question is: Did Trump already know about the tariff pause when he made that post?
Pressed on when he decided to suspend the tariffs, Trump gave a vague response: “I would say this morning. I’ve been thinking about it over the last few days.” He later said, “Fairly early this morning.”
When the White House was asked to clarify the timeline, spokesperson Kush Desai didn’t give a direct answer but defended the post as part of Trump’s duty.
“It’s the president’s job to reassure the public and markets amid constant fear-driven media narratives,” Desai said in an email.
Adding to the intrigue, Trump signed off the post with “DJT”—his initials, but also the ticker symbol for Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns Truth Social.
It’s unclear whether Trump was encouraging people to buy stocks in general or shares of his own company specifically. The White House didn’t respond to that question either. Trump often ends personal posts with “DJT.”
Trump pauses reciprocal tariffs for 90 days, except for China
Investors seemed to take the cue. Trump Media stock surged 22.67%—twice the jump of the broader market—despite the company having posted a $400 million loss last year and being unaffected by tariffs.
Trump’s 53% stake in the company, held in a trust managed by Donald Trump Jr., gained $415 million in value on the day.
Only one other stock slightly outperformed Trump Media—Tesla. Last month, Trump praised the company in a White House press event and his commerce secretary encouraged viewers to invest during a Fox News appearance. Tesla’s rally on Wednesday added $20 billion to Elon Musk’s net worth.
Kathleen Clark, an expert in government ethics at Washington University, said other administrations would likely have launched an investigation into such a post. But in this case, she doubts anything will come of it—except maybe more users for Truth Social.
“He’s signaling that he can move markets at will,” Clark said. “As if to say: Stay tuned for more financial tips.”
