Unlike apps like Prisma, however, PORTRA features overlays which are built by melding various vibrant shades of watercolors, sketches and oil paintings. Despite my initial hesitations though, the filters produced surprisingly natural and apt outcomes without sacrificing the details of the original shot. One of the more admirable aspects of the app is how well it manages to add subtle shadows. PORTRA believes these filters essentially turn your pictures into artworks and in a lot of ways, that’s true....

There’s 6GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage which can be expanded.

Cameras that Never Settled Now, ever since OnePlus got its phone journey underway in 2014 with the first OnePlus, it has built a formidable reputation for itself in many departments.

At Rs 22,990, the Vivo V17 treads that tricky ground between that occupied by the mid-segment (around Rs 15,000) rock stars like the Redmi Note 8 Pro and Realme XT and the one inhabited by budget flagship ones (Rs 25,000-30,000) like the Realme X2 Pro and Redmi K20 Pro. What works in its favor is that this is relatively unoccupied land, with the Redmi K20 being perhaps the only really well-known device out there....

Unlike last year, the claim to fame for Vivo’s latest smartphones are its front cameras. Vivo apparently claims that their V5 Plus is the first smartphone to boast of a dual front camera setup.

Vivo V5 is the cheaper of the two and comes with a 20MP front facing camera....

Let’s start off with the build and design. If you’ve been following Xiaomi for a few years now, you’re most probably familiar with their typical design language. Metal chassis, plastic antenna strips to the top and bottom, the usual ports and buttons where you would ideally find them along with an IR blaster of course, and a dual SIM + SD card tray.
