This is a week of anticipation as several high-profile launches have reached the pre-order stage. That said, some of the pre-orders that we looked at last week<\/a> have graduated to open sales.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll start with the Xiaomi 14 series. The two phones \u2013 Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra \u2013 will go on sale on March 11 (Monday). You can already pre-order a unit with a choice of colors. However, when it comes to memory configurations, the only options are 12\/512GB for the vanilla and 16\/512GB for the Ultra.<\/p>\n

The Nothing Phone (2a) is also on pre-order, with open sales set to start on March 12 (Tuesday). This is a more affordable version of the Nothing Phone (2) that starts at \u20b924,000 for an 8\/128GB model compared to \u20b940,000 for the Phone (2). The original Phone (1) appears to be sold out (at least online).<\/p>\n

The vivo V30 went on sale earlier this week. Like the (2a), it has a dual 50MP camera \u2013 a 1\/1.55\u201d sensor and optical image stabilization for the main camera and a 119\u00b0 ultra wide. The selfie camera is impressive with a 50MP sensor of its own and a wide 21mm lens, plus dual-LED flash (vs. 32MP selfie on the Nothing, no flash).<\/p>\n

The V30 has a slightly larger 6.78\u201d 10-bit OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and a higher 1,260 x 2,800px resolution. Like the (2a), it has an IP54 dust and water resistance rating. It\u2019s powered by the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and a 5,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging. The vivo has its advantages, but it does cost \u20b910,000 more.<\/p>\n

\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Honor 90 is closer in price to the Nothing and it flaunts a 6.7\u201d 120Hz 10-bit display with a resolution of 1,200 x 2,664px. For comparison, the (2a) has a 1,080 x 2,412px display. Also, the Honor has a 200MP main camera with good 2x in-sensor zoom at the cost of the ultra wide module, which only has a 12MP sensor. The phone is powered by the older Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip and a 5,000mAh battery with 66W fast charging. There\u2019s no IP rating.<\/p>\n

The Realme 12 and 12+ were on pre-order last week, this week they are available. The Realme 12+ has a 6.67\u201d 120Hz display (FHD+) and a Dimensity 7050 chipset. Its 5,000mAh battery charges at 67W.<\/p>\n

\n

\n \"Realme
\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The vanilla Realme 12 uses an IPS LCD instead, a 6.72\u201d 120Hz FHD+ panel. And while it has a weaker Dimensity 6100+ chipset, it is equipped with a main camera that has a larger, higher resolution sensor \u2013 108MP 1\/1.67\u201d vs. 50MP 1\/1.95\u201d. The plus model does have OIS and an ultra wide camera, though. Charging for the 5,000mAh battery is slightly slower at 45W.<\/p>\n

The Oppo F25 Pro is also new this week. With a price that is \u20b910,000 lower than the vivo V30, some cutbacks had to be made (it’s the same price as the Nothing). It has a 6.7\u201d 120Hz 10-bit display, but with a lower FHD+ resolution. And it uses the weaker Dimensity 7050 chipset. Plus, the camera is a fairly basic 64+8MP setup. The selfie camera is better than most with a 32MP sensor and a wide 22mm lens, but not quite up to V30 standards. The 5,000mAh battery is comparable with 67W charging.<\/p>\n

\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Tecno Pova 5 has the looks of a gaming phone and the 6.78\u201d 120Hz IPS LCD with FHD+ is up to the task. This is a budget phone, however, so it only has a Helio G99 chipset (4G connectivity). On the plus side, it does have 8GB of RAM and expandable storage. Also, stereo speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The 6,000mAh battery promises great endurance and is quick to charge at 45W. It\u2019s not perfect, but it\u2019s a great package for \u20b912,000.<\/p>\n

\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Lava Blaze Curve is an attempt to take the budget series of 5G phones in a more premium direction. As you can tell by the name, it has a curved 6.67\u201d AMOLED display, a 120Hz FHD+ panel. It\u2019s powered by the same Dimensity 7050 chip that we saw on several of the phones above. The 64+8MP camera is decent if nothing special, same goes for the 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging. The phone promises a clean, ad-free Android 13 experience out of the box with Android 14 and 15 on the way (and 3 years of security patches).<\/p>\n
