If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices when picking a new phone, you’re not alone. With so many options in the market, it can get difficult at times to select the smartphone that meets all your everyday needs. The freshly launched <keyword id="24164290" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Realme-13-Plus" source="keywords">Realme 13 Plus</keyword> aims to cut through the noise by offering a blend of performance, camera capabilities, and battery life that speaks to everyday users, gamers, and budding photographers alike. After spending some time with this device, I can say that this is a value-for-money smartphone that can take care of all your basic needs. <div type="image" title="13" msid="115655385" hostid="261" sizebytes="1042706"></div> <h2>Realme 13 Plus review: Design and display </h2> First impressions matter, and the Realme 13 Plus makes a solid one. The device sports a sleek design that feels comfortable to hold in hand. It weighs around 185 grams and can easily be used with one hand. The phone comes with a matte finish back panel and aluminium frame. While the back panel looks sophisticated, the aluminium frame stands out. There is also a circular camera module at the back, which is well-defined with a metallic ring. <div type="image" title="7" msid="115655253" hostid="261" sizebytes="1337084"></div> During my usage, I didn’t notice any fingerprints forming anywhere in the back panel and that is a huge plus. At the top, there is a 3mm jack and the right edge houses the volume and power buttons. At the bottom you have the Type C charging port and sim tray. In the front, the 6.72-inch Full HD+ display is vibrant and sharp, boasting a 120Hz refresh rate that makes scrolling through social media a buttery-smooth experience. I found myself engrossed in binge-watching my favourite shows, and the experience was nothing short of delightful. The colours popped, and the brightness was more than adequate, even under the midday sun. Whether you’re watching action-packed scenes or scrolling through your photo gallery, the Realme 13 Plus truly shines in this department. <div type="image" title="12" msid="115655273" hostid="261" sizebytes="1278279"></div> However, the screen does gather dust quite easily so I would advise using a screen cover. <h2>Realme 13 Plus review: Performance and battery </h2> Under the hood, the Realme 13 Plus is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, which manages to balance performance and energy efficiency. My gaming sessions with titles like PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile were remarkably smooth, with no noticeable lag or frame drops. The 8GB RAM variant ensures that multitasking remains a breeze, allowing me to switch between apps without the dreaded app reload. However, it’s not just about gaming; everyday tasks like browsing, messaging, and video calls were equally effortless. During a group call with my friends, I appreciated the seamless connection and the sound quality from the dual speakers was adequate and clear. <div type="image" title="8" msid="115655302" hostid="261" sizebytes="1167673"></div> While the experience was positive in general, the phone does come with a fair share of bloatware and that gets a tad bit annoying at times. Coming to its battery, I found that I could comfortably get through a full day of use, even with decent gaming. I only found myself reaching for a charger at the end of the day. The phone also comes with fast charging support and I got a 60 per cent battery in just 30 minutes of charging. This is perfect for those frantic mornings when you realise your phone is running low, and you need to dash out the door. <h2>Realme 13 Plus review: Camera </h2> The camera setup on the Realme 13 Plus is one of its standout features, especially for those who love snapping photos on the go. <div type="image" title="1" msid="115655450" hostid="261" sizebytes="708995"></div> The primary sensor captures stunning detail and vibrant colours, making it a joy to shoot everything from landscapes to close-ups. I tested the camera on a weekend outing, and the photos turned out to be remarkably crisp. <div type="image" title="3" msid="115655441" hostid="261" sizebytes="1392821"></div> However, low-light photography can be hit or miss, with some shots appearing grainy and lacking detail. <div type="image" title="10" msid="115655319" hostid="261" sizebytes="618451"></div> The 2MP depth sensor helps create that lovely bokeh effect, perfect for portrait shots. The edge detection, in good lighting, is also spot on. The 16MP front camera is also impressive and results in some great shots. However, the photos are overly beautified by default, which can be solved with a simple tap if you prefer to avoid it. <h2>Realme 13 Plus review: Verdict </h2> With its competitive pricing and impressive features, the Realme 13 Plus is definitely worth considering, especially if you’re looking for a smartphone that delivers reliable performance without breaking the bank. Yes, the phone comes with bloatware and low-light photography can falter at times, but those are not really dealbreakers.

Realme 13 Plus quick review: Good budget-friendly option for all your daily needs

<ul><li><keyword id="22862470" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="iQOO-Z9s-Pro" source="keywords">iQOO Z9s Pro</keyword> comes with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor with up to 12GB RAM.</li><li>The phone is ideal for gaming and multitasking, with 80W fast charging</li><li>iQOO Z9s Pro sports a sleek, contemporary design, offering a lightweight and comfortable grip.</li></ul> iQOO, over the years, has carved a niche for itself in the smartphone market and has various mid-range phones that promise the best performance at a relatively affordable price point. And the iQOO Z9s Pro also falls under this category. We, at Business Insider India, have been using the iQOO Z9s Pro for over a month and after our testing, we can confidently say that this is the smartphone that can give you good performance for under Rs 25,000. <div type="image" title="6" msid="115764952" hostid="261" sizebytes="904220"></div> In India, the iQOO Z9s Pro’s price starts at Rs 24,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model. The 8GB RAM variant with 256GB storage is priced at Rs 26,999, while the top-end model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage comes in at Rs 28,999. For our testing, we used the top-end model in white colour. So, should you go ahead and buy the iQOO Z9s Pro? Let’s find out. <h2>iQOO Z9s Pro: Design and display </h2> The iQOO Z9s Pro sports a sleek, contemporary design, offering a lightweight and comfortable grip. The phone features a sturdy glossy back panel with a marble feel to it which is visible when the lights are on. The phone, at a glance, looks quite stylish and will stand out in a crowd. I personally am not a fan of prints but the marble feel on the iQOO Z9s Pro looks quite elegant and not at all overdone. Then there is the familiar square camera module and the iQOO branding. The camera module is surrounded by a metallic finish border which elevates the whole look. <div type="image" title="10" msid="115764970" hostid="261" sizebytes="833759"></div> At the bottom is the USB Type C charging port and sim tray. The right edge houses the power and volume buttons that are quite easy to get to while holding the phone in one hand. The left edge is left completely free. The edges also sport a silver metallic finish and are worth noticing. The phone comes with a curved display which further enhances its look. During my usage, I didn’t see any fingerprints on the back panel which is a huge plus. The front, however, did form smudges and gathered dust quickly. <div type="image" title="3" msid="115764994" hostid="261" sizebytes="1688002"></div> Due to its curved display, rounded edges and glossy back, the phone is comfortable to hold and use with just one hand. However, it can also easily slide from your hand if you aren’t paying attention. Hence, it is best to always use it with the cover that comes packed with the phone. The phone’s display is a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and vivid colours, ideal for multimedia and gaming enthusiasts. This high refresh rate is excellent for gaming and general use, delivering a seamless experience. The phone can be used comfortably outdoors too, but a tad more brightness would have been even better. <div type="image" title="2" msid="115764963" hostid="261" sizebytes="1914142"></div> <h2>iQOO Z9s Pro: Performance </h2> Equipped with the <keyword id="21694334" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Qualcomm-Snapdragon-7-Gen-3" source="keywords">Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3</keyword> processor and up to 12GB of RAM, the Z9s Pro is a powerhouse in terms of performance. Everyday tasks and multitasking feel incredibly smooth, while gaming performance is also impressive. The phone could easily handle titles like Battlegrounds Mobile India and Call of Duty Mobile at high settings without a hitch. The cooling system helps prevent overheating during prolonged sessions, making it a reliable choice for gamers. The phone also includes virtual RAM expansion, giving it an edge in handling demanding applications. <div type="image" title="1" msid="115765018" hostid="261" sizebytes="1900985"></div> Talking about the software, even though the phone offers a clean experience with customisable themes and settings, it does come with pre-installed apps, which may be a slight drawback for those who prefer a streamlined interface. The good news is that most of these can be uninstalled, and the UI is generally responsive with minimal lag. <h2>iQOO Z9s Pro: Camera </h2> The Z9s Pro comes with a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens in the back. The phone also sports a 16MP selfie camera. Overall, the camera performs well in good lighting conditions. Night-time photography too is decent for the price. In daylight, the primary camera captures crisp details and vibrant colours. <div type="image" title="12" msid="115765082" hostid="261" sizebytes="1558728"></div> The front camera too performs well and captures your selfies in style. However, the edge detection might feel tad off at times. But this isn't a dealbreaker considering the price of the smartphone. <div type="image" title="15" msid="115765094" hostid="261" sizebytes="833942"></div> The portrait shots from the rear camera are simply stunning. <div type="image" title="16" msid="115765109" hostid="261" sizebytes="1266524"></div> I also used the Master B/W mode and the Vintage film mode and loved the results. <div type="image" title="13" msid="115765126" hostid="261" sizebytes="2287590"></div> While the phone captures impressive detail and colours, the details start fizzling out when you zoom in. Even at 2x, the details start going a bit amiss and by 10x, the performance drop in camera is quite noticeable. But this isn’t a big concern. At night too, the phone can capture some decent shots for its price point. <h2>iQOO Z9s Pro: Battery and charging </h2> With a 5,500mAh battery, the iQOO Z9s Pro easily lasts a full day of moderate usage. For heavy users, 80W fast charging comes in handy, taking the battery from 0 to around 50% in just 20 minutes. This quick top-up time is a big plus for those who are always on the go. The phone also comes with a charger in the box so you don’t have to buy one separately. <h2>iQOO Z9s Pro: Final verdict </h2> <div type="image" title="5" msid="115765350" hostid="261" sizebytes="1316258"></div> The iQOO Z9s Pro stands out in the mid-range segment with its powerful processor, smooth display, and decent camera setup. However, minor improvements in low-light camera performance and UI polish could enhance it further. For users focused on performance and gaming, this phone delivers robust value and is a worthy option in its price bracket.

and cons</h2><h3>Pros</h3><ul><li>Software and performance </li><li>Camera </li></ul><h3>Cons</h3><ul><li>Price </li></ul><h2>Design and display</h2>Google has overhauled the design of the Pixel 9 Pro XL, making major changes to the design when compared to the Pixel 8 Pro. The search giant has opted for a flat display, flat sides and a revamped camera module. <div type="image" title="Back 2" msid="115487059" hostid="261" sizebytes="64462" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Pixel 9 Pro XL rear design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The device comes in Hazel, Porcelain, Rose Quartz, and Obsidian colour options. I tested the Rose Quartz colour variant of the device. <div type="image" title="right side" msid="115487089" hostid="261" sizebytes="52702" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Rounded corners on the Pixel 9 Pro XL&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The device comes with flat sides, with rounded corners for its aluminium frame, that give it a premium feel while holding. At first look, you may get an iPhone-like look, with people even mistaking it for an iPhone during my usage, but this clears up immediately after looking at the pill-shaped camera module. The aluminium frame comes with a glossy finish and is slightly slippery. The aluminium frame also attracts dust fingerprint smudges easily. For these reasons, it might be a good idea to use the device with a case. <div type="image" title="Camera" msid="115487108" hostid="261" sizebytes="28950" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The pill-shaped camera module&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It comes with a large pill-shaped camera module that houses the triple camera setup, a temperature sensor and the LED flash. Apart from the camera module, the device comes with Google’s logo at the back. <div type="image" title="Right" msid="115487125" hostid="261" sizebytes="62716" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Power button and volume rockers on the right&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The power button and the volume rockers are placed on the right side. Unlike a lot of other devices, the Pixel 9 Pro XL continues to place the power button on top and the volume rockers below it. <div type="image" title="Bottom" msid="115487162" hostid="261" sizebytes="47264" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports at the bottom&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the bottom, you get the speaker grille, a USB Type-C port, a microphone and the SIM tray. <div type="image" title="IMG20240818172922" msid="115487276" hostid="261" sizebytes="46502" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Pixel 9 Pro XL top&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the top, you get the mmWave antenna cover and a microphone. <div type="image" title="Ch" msid="115487285" hostid="261" sizebytes="30756" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Made in China text on the Pixel 9 Pro XL&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> On the left, apart from antenna lines, the device comes with “Made in China” written for some reason. Coming to the display, the Pixel 9 Pro XL comes equipped with a large 6.8-inch Quad HD+ LTPO OLED display with a 1-120Hz refresh rate, up to 3,000 nits brightness and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="115487313" hostid="261" sizebytes="72596" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Pixel 9 Pro XL display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The device sports a good display, which offers accurate colours and offers good visibility, even in direct sunlight. The display is excellent, with the high refresh rate offering a good experience while gaming and watching content. <h2>Software and performance</h2>The Pixel 9 Pro XL runs on Android 14 out of the box and is promised to get seven years of Android updates and security patches. The software is the highlight of the Pixel lineup and the Pixel 9 Pro XL is no different. The device offers an Android experience as imagined by Google, the operating system maker. As expected, the device comes loaded with AI features in the form of Gemini. To enable users to make the most out of the AI features, Google is offering a one-year premium subscription to Pixel 9 Pro XL users, giving them access to Gemini Advanced, 2TB of Google Drive storage and more. The device comes pre-installed with Pixel Studio, a new GenAI image generation app from Google, allowing users to generate images easily on the go. You also get access to Gemini Live, a live-chat version of Gemini, which allows for voice-enabled interactions. In what might excite most photography enthusiasts like myself, the device also comes with a more powerful Magic Editor, giving access to a ton of new tools. Talking about AI and photography, the new Add Me feature is excellent, especially for those who often end up being the ones to take group pictures and regret not being in them. The new Add Me feature allows you to take a group picture and then hand your phone to your friend and then join the group for another picture, then using AI to blend them into one image to make the perfect group picture. I used this feature during one of my trips and found it to be quite useful. Once you get the hang of it and remember to stand in the correct place, it works quite well. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is powered by the Google Tensor G4 chipset built on Samsung’s 4nm process. It comes with 16GB of RAM and offers up to 512GB of internal storage. If you are hoping for a drastic performance improvement compared to the predecessor, you might be disappointed. It offers an incremental improvement in performance but can easily handle everything that you throw at it. One area the chipset and the device has improved a lot over the Pixel 8 Pro is thermal management and proper connectivity. These were some of my biggest issues with the last-gen devices and Google has made a significant improvement in this aspect. The Pixel 9 Pro XL is powered by a 5,060mAh battery with 37W wired and 23W wireless charging support. The device offers a day’s battery life with normal usage. <h2>Camera</h2>The camera is the strongest selling point of Pixel smartphones, and unsurprisingly, the Pixel 9 Pro XL excels in this regard. <div type="image" title="Rear cam" msid="115487382" hostid="261" sizebytes="53002" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Pixel 9 Pro XL rear camera&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Coming to the camera department, the Pixel 9 Pro XL features a triple camera setup at the back, consisting of a 50MP primary camera with Samsung GN2 sensor with OIS, a 48MP ultra-wide-angle camera with Sony IMX858 sensor and a 48MP 5X telephoto camera with Sony IMX858 sensor with up to 30x digital zoom. <div type="image" title="PXL_20240818_123753737" msid="115487547" hostid="261" sizebytes="186394" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Image captured while moving&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The smartphone supports zero shutter lag, which means it captures photos at the same moment you tap on the shutter button. This is very handy when trying to capture moving subjects, especially kids and pets. <div type="image" title="PXL_20240818_124521580" msid="115487564" hostid="261" sizebytes="84032" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Image captured in natural lighting&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The smartphone’s daylight camera performance was excellent, with accurate colour reproduction, dynamic range, and well-defined details. The portrait mode is excellent in both daylight and indoor conditions. <div type="image" title="n" msid="115487621" hostid="261" sizebytes="147076" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Image captured using night mode&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Pixel 9 Pro XL also performs excellently in low-light and night conditions, capturing well-detailed, colour-accurate photos despite the challenging lighting conditions. The images turned out to be sharp and clear, with adequate details and minimal noise. On the front, the Pixel 9 Pro XL features a 42MP selfie camera. The front camera can easily capture good selfies in normal lighting and low light conditions. <h2>Verdict</h2>The Pixel 9 Pro XL is the best device in the current Pixel lineup and one of the best Android smartphones out there. The device offers an excellent user experience, a premium design and good cameras. It offers good performance and ample storage, ticking off a lot of the boxes. At the same time, the Pixel 9 Pro XL commands a premium price and while enthusiasts may like the stock Android experience, the lack of customisation may not be everyone’s cup of tea. If you are looking for a stock Android experience with powerful hardware and are willing to pay a premium, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is an excellent option.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Novelist James Patterson — along with a hardworking group of co-authors — generates multiple books a year.</li><li>He says that's not enough for him: He's going to start making a Substack, too.</li></ul>James Patterson does not need another place to write. The best-selling novelist is already famously productive: By collaborating with a platoon of co-authors, he's been able to write <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jamespatterson.com/landing-page/james-patterson-checklist/">more than 200 books</a> since 1976 and can easily <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-SEB-69531">publish a dozen titles in a year</a>.But here he is, promising to make yet more content: He's launching "Hungry Dogs," a Substack subscription — part of that service's push to work with a variety of creators (welcome aboard, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/15/business/media/tina-brown-substack.html">Tina Brown</a>) and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.semafor.com/article/10/06/2024/substack-wants-to-do-more-than-just-newsletters">to move beyond newsletter-style offerings</a>. Patterson says his Substack will be a mix of musings on writing, video interviews with authors he likes (including Bill Clinton, one of his co-authors), and whatever pops into his mind.There's a lot on Patterson's mind, as I found out in a recent phone interview: He wants to sound off on everything from Hollywood to haters (he has many, including <a target="_blank" href="https://www.redital.com/2022/was-stephen-king-right-about-james-patterson-being-a-terrible-writer/">Stephen King</a>). I was particularly interested in whether Patterson thought AI might be a useful tool for someone like himself, given that he already uses an industrial approach to writing.Here are edited excerpts from our chat:You don't seem like someone who needs a Substack.I don't like the word "empower," so I won't use "empower." But it's kind of a power tool for writers, where there's nobody between you and the audience. Nobody is saying, "Do this, don't do that. This is a good idea. This is a bad idea. We don't want to publish this." So I think that's kind of cool. I can pretty much do what I want to do. Up to a point.It doesn't seem like there'd be many constraints on you right now.Well, there are, in terms of doing certain things. In terms of the fiction world, they'll let me do it.In Hollywood, that's its own thing. I remember going on the shoot for "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC0Ul29wCj4">Kiss the Girls</a>," [the 1997 movie based on <a target="_blank" href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=fb00603a6d674a5f704310a4b07b4bd00e25777006c4bf3b98679bb0cb3860cd&amp;postID=670daa10434c477c232e5859&amp;postSlug=james-patterson-substack-ai-interview-2024-10&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FKiss-Girls-Cross-James-Patterson%2Fdp%2F0446601241">Patterson's 1995 book of the same name.</a>] Everybody's very nice and everything. But I soon found out that on the movie shoot, the novelist ranks somewhere below the caterer.Way, way, way back in the day, you'd get these guys that ran studios: "People love cowboys. They love circuses. I'm going to do a movie about cowboys and circuses! Get me 10 writers!" And that hasn't totally gone away.I'm in a period now where I'm dealing with Hollywood a lot, and you have some people that are kind of motivated by the fear of getting it wrong. That motivates them: "I'm so afraid; I don't want to get it wrong. This has got to be perfect." Some of that is OK, but ultimately, it's pretty destructive.And then you have a lot of people in that survival state, where they're saying, "I don't really care anymore."And then the third thing is sort of the joy of wanting to make it better and better and better. Mostly, that's my state.So, is your Substack going to be writing? Doing videos?No rules. We do it three times a week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Wednesday is always going to be free. We'll give away excerpts. We'll give away goofy things like used pencils where I chewed the erasers. Shit like that.Some of it is filmed. I'm doing interviews, and I think they're going to be cool.I just did a longer one with President Clinton. We're going to do it in two parts. One before the election and then one when <a target="_blank" href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=a7b201d4cda438a9c00db35843a34396a98ce7f2f5d03fc818c6383945a2d388&amp;postID=670daa10434c477c232e5859&amp;postSlug=james-patterson-substack-ai-interview-2024-10&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FCitizen-Life-After-White-House%2Fdp%2F0525521445">his new book comes out later in the year</a>. And that was cool — just human-to-human stuff. There's no curve balls, no sliders.I talk to a lot of writers. So far, nobody's turned the invitation down. We'll do one of those a week.I'll do some about things that I've learned along the way that aren't in my <a target="_blank" href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=d88a9c7b093a998484464389961cce89521de1e734c0399099d08849a612b12c&amp;postID=670daa10434c477c232e5859&amp;postSlug=james-patterson-substack-ai-interview-2024-10&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.masterclass.com%2Fclasses%2Fjames-patterson-teaches-writing">MasterClass</a>.I never give advice and I didn't in my MasterClass. A gazillion people have taken that. Nobody seems to learn shit, but they take it. But I don't give advice. I just tell 'em what I'm doing.I'll do one on writing nonfiction. I'll do one [about writing] kids' books because I've done a lot of kids' books.You are incredibly productive. You generate a ton of stuff. You already have this MasterClass. I'm guessing you don't need the money. What's the impulse here?The interviews are cool. They are really fun. I'm loving the interviews.This is just sort of human stuff. Like with Clinton: It's the kind of stuff you don't normally hear people asking them about. I know him <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/james-patterson/the-president-is-missing/9780316412711/?lens=little-brown">relatively</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/james-patterson/the-presidents-daughter/9780316540711/?lens=little-brown">well</a> now because we've done books together. We have another one coming out next year. And we've seen a lot of stuff.The first time we went out, my wife and I went out with him and Hillary. It was about three hours, four hours in a little restaurant. And four or five times during the meal, they were holding hands under the table.People don't think of them that way. You know what I mean? It's more complicated than you think it is. Let's just deal with one another as human beings.I know Eric Trump a little bit. I could do one with him and not get political about it. I know Bush a little. So, stuff like that.You famously work with lots of other writers to generate your significant output. Will you be working with people on this? Or does this come straight from your head?Just me.One of the reasons I was eager to talk to you is I've been thinking about you for the last year or so during this AI boom. A lot of people are excited about it, and a lot of people have fears about it. Your name often comes up as someone who already works with other writers to create material in your voice. So people ask — "What's the difference between James Patterson working with a group of people to make stuff in the voice of James Patterson and James Patterson using AI for the same thing?"It doesn't interest me at all. If anybody knew how I do stuff, they would go, "That's stupid. He would never do that. Why would he?"I haven't seen anything yet — I'm sure it'll happen, but I haven't seen anything yet — out of AI where you go, "Yes, this could be Patterson, or [John] Grisham." Why would I do that?I have no interest in it. It'd be boring.I hope this was not boring for you. I appreciate your time.The only AI thing I think about is one of the guys from The Eagles. What the fuck's his name? It's not [Don] Henley.Joe Walsh?<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIzyTk1fuf0">Joe Walsh</a>, yeah.Somebody asked him what was going to happen with music, with AI. And<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dW_dploc1fY"> he said</a>, until "I see AI go and destroy a hotel room and throw a television at a swimming pool, I'm not going to be worried about AI." I love that.

smaller camera module. The iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G comes in two colour options – the Dark Storm colour and the Fearless Flame colour option. I received the Dark Storm variant. <div type="image" title="Back" msid="102911511" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The back of the iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Dark Storm variant comes with an AG glass back design that gives it a premium look. It has a smooth matte finish that prevents fingerprint smudges. While you don’t have to worry about fingerprint smudges, the device is a bit slippery so I recommend using a case. The device weighs under 200 grams, and you can easily use it for a long time. The device comes with a large rectangular camera module at the top and you also get the iQOO branding. The camera module has a noticeable bump. <div type="image" title="Right side" msid="102911535" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Volume rockers and the power button on the right side&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The smartphone features volume rockers and the power button on the right side and the left side is plain. At the top, you get a microphone and an Infrared sensor, which is nice to have and is rarely found on devices these days. <div type="image" title="Bottom" msid="102911557" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The bottom of the iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the bottom, you get the SIM tray, a microphone, a USB Type-C port and the speaker grille. Coming to the display, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G features a large 6.78-inch Full HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) E5 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 360 Hz touch sampling rate. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="102911573" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> You don’t have to worry about using the sun even in direct sunlight as it supports up to 1300 nits brightness. The tall display is great for watching content and gaming. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Software and performance" comment="subhead" text="Software and performance">Software and performance</cmsannotation> The iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G runs on Android 13 out of the box with the company’s Funtouch OS 13 on top. The device will get two years of Android updates and three years of security updates. For those unaware, Funtouch OS 13 is a highly customized version of Android and is packed with several features. Like its sibling, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G is also equipped with its fair share regarding bloatware. The device comes with applications such as Netflix, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Spotify and more. These apps can however be uninstalled. In terms of performance, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 coupled with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The powerful chipset from Qualcomm, coupled with ample RAM and storage allows the device to easily multitask. As it is a gaming-centric device, I played popular titles such as Battlegrounds Mobile India and Asphalt 9 on the smartphone. The device offers a good gaming experience and even with Full HD graphics enabled, I did not notice any stuttering or lag. To offer an improved gaming experience, the device comes with a “Monster Mode” that juices up the device to get the best performance from the processor, but it does take a toll on the battery life. The iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. The device can be charged up to 50% in just 8 minutes and a full charge takes around 25 minutes. The device offers a day’s battery life with normal usage, which includes streaming and some gaming. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Camera" comment="subhead" text="Camera">Camera</cmsannotation> Coming to the camera department, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G features a triple camera setup at the back consisting of a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2MP macro camera. <div type="image" title="Camera" msid="102911601" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G has solved a big issue that its sibling had – the lack of an ultra-wide-angle camera. It <div type="image" title="IMG_20230706_170509" msid="102911896" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Image captured in daylight conditions&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The images taken in daylight conditions turned out well, capturing good details and offering accurate colour reproduction. The presence of Optical image stabilisation (OIS) ensures you are able to capture blur-free images and videos. <div type="image" title="IMG_20230706_170324" msid="102911939" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Image captured using portrait mode&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The device is able to capture good portrait shots, delivering good edge detection and a proper background blur. In low-light conditions, there is a decrease in details but the images turned out decently. On the front, the device sports a 16MP camera for selfies and video calling. The selfie camera captures decent details and gets the job done. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The iQOO Neo 7 Pro is a feature-packed device that ticks all the right boxes. It comes with a vibrant display, powerful chipset, decent cameras and a large battery with fast charging support. It is to be noted that while the device does perform well, it comes with some bloatware and a highly-customised version of Android. If you are a gamer looking for a powerful device and do not care about the bloatware and the UI, the iQOO Neo 7 Pro is a great option for you.
