Full details →Who the Redmi Note 14 5G is for
Buy it if: Buyers who want a bright, large AMOLED and treat the camera as secondary.
Avoid it if: Anyone buying for the camera — 108 MP without OIS is worse than 50 MP with it.
Who the Samsung Galaxy M35 5G is for
Buy it if: Anyone who keeps a phone four years or longer. Nothing else near this price supports that.
Avoid it if: Buyers who want the fastest chip at the price — the Exynos 1380 is not it.
