TECH REVIEW: realme Buds T300 - Affordable and Bass-heavy

The Buds T300 is the newest wireless earbuds from realme! I had the opportunity to get a hands-on review of these affordable bass-heavy true wireless stereo buds and I'd like to share them with you.

What's in the box?

DESIGN

The realme Buds T300 comes in a pebble-like shape that can easily fit into your pocket. The case is sturdy and has a satisfying click. It's available in two colors: Stylish Black and Youth White. The white variant is shiny, while the black variant is matte.

I reviewed the Stylish Black variant, and the interior has a brown color. The earbuds have a stem design and fit perfectly into my ears. They are comfortable to wear, and the silicon cups snuggle inside with a good grip. The earbuds come with a USB Type-C port for charging and an LED power indicator located below the brand logo.

With an IP55 water and dust resistance rating, the Buds T300 can withstand light splashes and gym sessions.

CONNECTIVITY

Connectivity-wise, the Buds T300 support Bluetooth 5.3 and offers compatibility with SBC, AAC codecs, and Dolby Atmos (depending on your device). With touch controls on each earbud, users can easily manage playback, ANC settings, track changes, and even access Google Assistant. The realme Buds T300 usually pairs with smartphones. I connected it to my iPhone and Samsung phones.

I tried to connect and add this device to my realme Link app but it's not available just yet. I'm not sure why, probably I'll wait for an app update soon. I read that you can adjust the controls for Active Noise Cancellation, Spatial Sound, gesture shortcuts, and more.

AUDIO QUALITY

Regarding audio quality, the realme Buds T300 has 12.4mm Dynamic Bass drivers, providing lively sound and powerful bass. I actually love the quality especially when listening to bass-heavy KPOP songs. Active noise cancellation is present in the Buds T300, providing decent performance against low-frequency noises.

It also supports Dolby Atmos and provides an immersive stereo surround sound to make the audio from consumed media more engaging may it be music, games, or videos. This feature is only compatible when connected to a device that also supports Dolby Atmos.

BATTERY

Battery life is impressive! It's equipped with a 460 mAh battery, 43 mAh each bud, and supports fast charging. With each bud offers 6-7 hours of playback (with ANC off) and the charging case provides over a day and a half of total playback. This ensures you can enjoy your music throughout the day without worrying about running out of power.

AVAILABILITY

The realme Buds T300 is now available in the Philippines for only P1,599. You can check out through Shopee, Lazada, or TikTok.

Overall, the realme Buds T300 are a budget-friendly alternative, offering a familiar design and commendable audio performance. With customizable sound modes and convenient touch controls, these earbuds provide a satisfying listening experience at an affordable price point.

TECH REVIEW: Redmi Note 12

Jexx Hinggo 4:42 PM redmi , tech 0 Comments

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 is a highly anticipated smartphone that boasts an impressive combination of features at an affordable price. Let's take a closer look at its design, display, camera, performance, and battery life.

DESIGN

The Redmi Note 12 showcases a sleek and modern design that is both eye-catching and ergonomic. It features a polycarbonate back panel with a matte metallic finish, giving it a premium feel. However, it's still a fingerprint magnet, you can use the free clear jelly case that comes with it.

The phone is well-built and feels solid in my hand. The volume button and fingerprint scanner are conveniently located on the right side while the sim card tray is located on the left. At the back, you will see the triple camera set up with LED flash.

The overall design of the Redmi Note 12 is undoubtedly pleasing and reflects Xiaomi's commitment to aesthetics.

DISPLAY

The smartphone sports a large 6.67-inch AMOLED Dot Display with a Full HD+ resolution and is equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The screen delivers vibrant colors and sharp details, making it a joy to consume multimedia content and play games.

The bezels are reasonably slim on the side and upper part but have a slightly thicker one at the bottom. Good enough to provide an immersive viewing experience for the users.

This mid-range phone has a max refresh rate of 120Hz. You can choose the standard 60 Hz to save battery but everything is better when you set it to 120 Hz. You'll enjoy a faster, crisp, and clearer screen.

CAMERA

The Redmi Note 12 packs a versatile camera setup that's fit for daily use and social media posting. It features a triple-camera system, led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor. The camera produces well-detailed and vibrant photos in good lighting conditions, with accurate colors and minimal noise.

The dedicated ultra-wide-angle lens expands the creative possibilities, capturing wider scenes with decent quality. Additionally, the depth sensor and macro lens offer satisfactory results, although they might not be as impressive as the main camera. Night photography might be a struggle for this phone as it turns grainy and blurry.

On the front, the device boasts a 13-megapixel selfie camera that captures good self-portraits.

PORTRAIT/SELFIE SHOTS

STANDARD VS NIGHT SHOTS

PERFORMANCE

Under the hood, the Redmi Note 12 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 685, accompanied by a max of 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The phone handles day-to-day tasks smoothly, ensuring a lag-free experience while navigating through apps and multitasking. It also handles graphically demanding games quite well, offering a smooth gaming experience with minimal frame drops.

I was expecting major lags when I installed Mobile Legends on this phone, but to my surprise, it was smooth and can deliver ultra graphics. There are minor frame skips here and there but overall, I'm impressed.

BATTERY LIFE

One of the standout features of the Redmi Note 12 is its impressive battery life. Equipped with a substantial 5,000mAh battery, the phone easily lasts through a full day of heavy usage, including web browsing, media streaming, and gaming.

HONOR Philippines has recently unveiled their latest addition to their X-series lineup, the HONOR X8a smartphone. The device stands out from its competition due to its sleek design, stunning display, and powerful camera capabilities. I had the opportunity to test the device prior to its release, and here are some reasons why I found it impressive.

Sleek and Compact Design

It also features HONOR Display Color calibration technology, which ensures minimal color difference between the screen and real life. Moreover, the device is equipped with TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light Certification and offers Dark Mode, Eye Comfort Mode, and E-Book Mode.

Powerful 100MP Triple Camera System

One of the most impressive features of the HONOR X8a is its 100MP Rear Triple Camera System, which includes a 5MP Wide and Depth Camera and a 2MP Macro lens. The front camera is 16MP. I tested the camera over the weekend and here are some sample shots.

During my testing, I found the photos taken to be crisp and vibrant, with even small details captured clearly. The High-Res mode produces billboard-quality photos, while HDR mode provides high-contrast photos. The wide shots are decent, and the portrait rear and selfie shots are also impressive. The selfie portrait shots were Bokeh-heavy but you can disable it.
