Verdict Even with a top-notch screen at an attractive aspect ratio, the Xperia 10 V forgets what is keeping other budget phones in our hands years after purchase. This is one that feels sluggish out of the box, with its old trick of relying on its camera not really carrying the weight in the face […]
Verdict The Xiaomi 13T Pro is a smartphone that looks and feels the part, and capable hardware, including a 144Hz AMOLED display, triple camera system and 120W fast charging tech that further bolsters that experience.
