Reviews

8.4/10 by Shubham Raheja | 14 Feb 2023

The Galaxy S23 is a high-spirited phone, with powerful innards, no heating issues (so far) and decent cameras. Just picking it up can sometimes cheer you. We are just hoping the battery life improves with the Adaptive battery tech running in the background and that in the next iteration, the entire Galaxy S line-up gets new lenses or anti-glare coating.

8.5/10 by Robin John | 12 Dec 2023

The iQOO 12 shines with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, excelling in performance and gaming. Improved cameras and design. It leads in battery, charging, and clean UI. Camera consistency and image processing need fine-tuning, but it captures great shots overall. Great value for its features.
