Infinix Note 50X FULL Review: Is this the new Budget Segment King?

A Thread, after 28 days of use 🧵

(NOTE: This device is a retail unit purchased for review, the brand did not have any inputs or editorial approval) PS: This review is shorter than my usual reviews, and I might end up skipping on a few stats and images than usual

It is because I am currently in the middle of my exams, and so I couldn't test those in time to ship the device to @ChaitanyaOnTech

I apologise for it this time.

It encompasses both the Flipkart Big Billion Days, and the Amazon Great Indian Festival!

(Note: I will cover tablets separately in another thread coming tomorrow)

DISCLAIMER:

I will NOT be recommending deals on OnePlus and Motorola *phones* this time (except for Moto G45, because there's no better choice than that)

If you buy Motorola & OnePlus phones this time in sales, you're buying them at your own risk, so take good care of them :)

NothingOS 2.6 Review: It's not for me!

A THREAD 🧵

This thread is made on the basis of my usage of NothingOS as a daily driver on the CMF Phone (1) for the past 12 days.

Do note that many of the things can be subjective and opinions can widely differ between people. SETUP, ADS & BLOATWARE

I don't need to spend much time here, but NothingOS is clean:

❌ No dark patterns while setting up the phone.
❌ Absolutely zero third-party bloatware

It does have a few first-party apps (Nothing X, Recorder, Weather) alongside the usual Google apps.

[Xiaomi 14: THE TRUTH, Part 2 (after 51 days)]

Welcome to the 2nd part of my full review of the Xiaomi 14, which will focus on some miscellaneous aspects, alongside camera performance and my final verdict.

Thanks for reading so far, but next up is interesting.

[A THREAD 🧵] DISCLAIMER:

This thread is a continuation from Part 1, which focuses on all aspects of the Xiaomi 14 except for the cameras and the thermals.

The first thread is linked below, & stick around for this one to see if the cameras finally live up to the hype.

[Xiaomi 14: THE TRUTH, Part 1 (after 51 days)]

Welcome to my full review of the Xiaomi 14, and while the hype is all about the 14 Ultra, this is the device that the company hopes to be a mass-market hit.

But it also has some teething issues, so how does it fare?

[A THREAD 🧵] IMPORTANT:

This thread has more than 25 posts, which means that while I have tried my best to compress everything in short words, I was forced to separate it into 2 dedicated threads.

Part 2, which details the camera almost exclusively, will be linked at the end of this thread.

Xiaomi 14 FIRST IMPRESSIONS (After 2 days of use!)

A THREAD 🧵

I will briefly touch upon the unboxing, display, build quality, design, performance, thermals, battery and most importantly, the cameras.

If you have any questions or queries, feel free to ask me in the replies! [UNBOXING]

The Indian variant of the Xiaomi 14 comes in a massive & THICK black box.

Inside we get the following:

✅ The phone, obviously
✅ A 120W fast charger
✅ A thick USB-A to USB-C cable
✅ A really good quality premium case
✅ Usual warranty and regulatory literature

You guys asked for it, so here I go!

[UPDATED THREAD on Realme UI's ad situation]

As some of you who followed me from the start might remember, I made a thread on January 1st bashing realme for the addition of ads in realme UI.

Almost half a year on, here's an update.

See ⬇️

https://twitter.com/SavageAryan007/status/1609583143690063872?t=AdIIVTv5YuAXNMralDtXYw&s=19

(1/17) For starters, I would like to reiterate that when I bought the GT Neo3 150W and GT Master Edition, all we had in realme UI was just spammy notifications, and bloatware, could be easily disabled.

But realme has made it a virtually uncleanable skin over the past year...

(2/17)

Here's a mini review:

- Great, bright, vibrant display, 144 Hz that works.
- Good gaming (just heats up a bit more there because of 888+)
-40 minutes charging, 6.5 hrs normal use SOT
- Decent cams (better with gcam)
- One of the best stereo speakers
- USB 3.1, 4K selfie

(1/3)

https://twitter.com/FanboyMoto/status/1667407745103073281

Cons: Android 14 is last major update (that too will be awfully slow), ultrawide struggles in low-light, bimonthly security patches are considered slow by some.

But will I forgive all that for ₹35k? Yes. And you should too. Android 13 actually added a lot of features.
