vivo V23 5G — The Best in Camera, Technology, Performance and Appearance

Due to the constant development in the technology space for smartphones, there is always hype surrounding any new ‘firsts’ in the market. There is always excitement as to what will be introduced and how well it will be accepted by the audience.

The latest ISOCELL 3.0 technology helps the camera increase light sensitivity to capture a more crystal-clear picture for the user. Furthermore, the Eye Autofocus feature enables the users to be the center of attention while clicking the picture as the camera focuses on the user, even if they are in motion. 

The dual front camera system offers a much larger field of view with the help of its 8MP Super Wide-Angle Camera. Furthermore, with modes like the AI Extreme Night Portrait mode, the front camera delivers an unparalleled experience in this price range. The phone also sports a 64 MP main rear camera with an 8MP wide-angle lens and a 2MP Macro that can handle wide natural landscapes very easily. The user experience is further increased with features like the Super Night Mode, Bokeh Flare Portrait, and Ultra Stabilization. It is only right to say that both, the front camera and the rear camera together offer a device that is picture-perfect.

V23 5G brings out the result of Vivo’s extensive research which is the Color Changing Fluorite AG Design. This material changes its color upon exposure to ultraviolet light and after about 30 seconds under the sun. This switch goes back to normal once the phone is out of sun exposure. Talking more about the appearance of the device, it is the combination of the Metal Flat Frame Design and the Color Changing Fluorite AG Design that gives the device the aesthetic appeal that has been the talk in the industry for a while now. 

All these powerful features that the phone flaunts are powered by the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor. This processor offers powerful performance and a fast user experience. The Extended RAM 2.0 further enhances the user experience with its versatile features to expand RAM when required. The 90Hz refresh rate display, a Liquid Cooling System, and Ultra Game Mode make it possible for users to enjoy super smooth gameplay performance. This experience is mutually assisted by the 4200mAh battery that features a 44W FlashCharge that helps in interrupted experience and performance.

Textile Industry Asks Maryam Nawaz to Cancel New Import Tax

Textile Industry Asks Maryam Nawaz to Cancel New Import Tax

Pakistan’s textile industry has urged Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to take action against a new import tax that could increase business costs and create further problems for textile manufacturers. Industry representatives believe that the additional tax may put more pressure on businesses already dealing with high production costs, expensive energy, and strong competition in international markets.

The textile sector is one of the most important parts of Pakistan’s economy. It provides jobs to millions of people, supports local businesses, and plays a major role in the country’s exports. Any increase in the cost of raw materials, machinery, or other imported items can affect factories, workers, exporters, and the wider economy.

Industry representatives want the provincial government to review the new tax and help resolve their concerns. They believe that removing unnecessary costs would allow textile businesses to operate more easily, improve production, and compete with manufacturers in other countries.

Textile Industry Raises Concerns Over New Import Tax

The textile industry has expressed concern that the new import tax could make it more expensive for businesses to bring essential goods into Pakistan. Textile manufacturers often depend on imported raw materials, machinery, spare parts, chemicals, and other supplies to keep their production units running.

When taxes on imports increase, businesses may have to spend more money to obtain the same materials. These extra expenses can affect their overall budgets and reduce the money available for expansion, worker salaries, and improvements in production.

Industry representatives are asking Maryam Nawaz to look into the matter and consider withdrawing the additional tax. They believe that the government should support local industries instead of placing further financial pressure on businesses that are already facing difficulties.

For many textile companies, even a small increase in the cost of production can make a difference. Manufacturers working with limited profit margins may find it difficult to absorb additional expenses, particularly when international buyers are unwilling to pay higher prices for their products.

The industry fears that if production becomes more expensive, some companies may reduce their output or delay plans to invest in new equipment. Smaller manufacturers could face even greater difficulties because they usually have fewer financial resources than large industrial groups.

Why Pakistan’s Textile Sector Is Important

Pakistan’s textile industry has a central role in the country’s industrial development. It includes several stages of production, starting with cotton and yarn and moving towards fabric, clothing, towels, bed sheets, and other finished products.

The sector supports a large network of businesses. Farmers grow cotton, mills process the raw material, factories produce fabric and garments, and transport companies move finished goods to local and international markets.

Many other businesses also depend on textile factories. These include packaging companies, suppliers of industrial equipment, chemical manufacturers, freight services, and shops that provide goods to workers and factory owners.

The industry is also an important source of foreign exchange. When Pakistani companies sell textiles abroad, they receive payments from international buyers. These earnings help the country pay for imports and meet its foreign payment needs.

For this reason, any policy that increases the cost of textile production can have effects beyond individual factories. Higher business expenses may influence export orders, employment, investment, and the amount of foreign exchange earned by the country.

Industry representatives argue that policies affecting the textile sector should be designed carefully. They want the government to consider how taxes and import rules influence the ability of Pakistani companies to compete in the global market.

Rising Costs Already Put Pressure on Manufacturers

Textile manufacturers have to manage several expenses to keep their businesses running. These include electricity, gas, labour, transport, financing, raw materials, machinery maintenance, and taxes.

When several of these costs rise at the same time, it becomes harder for companies to maintain production at affordable rates. Businesses may be forced to use their savings to cover daily expenses instead of investing in new technology or increasing their capacity.

The cost of energy is particularly important for textile factories. Spinning, weaving, dyeing, washing, and finishing processes require reliable power and, in many cases, large amounts of energy. Expensive electricity and gas can make locally produced goods less competitive.

Imported materials and equipment also play an important role. Some factories need specialised machinery or spare parts that are not easily available from local suppliers. If importing these items becomes more expensive, companies may have to delay repairs, maintenance, or upgrades.

An additional import tax could increase these pressures further. Manufacturers are concerned that the new expense may make it difficult to plan their budgets and meet the prices agreed upon with overseas customers.

The industry therefore wants the government to consider the combined effect of taxes and other business expenses rather than examining the import tax separately.

How the New Tax Could Affect Textile Exports

Pakistan’s textile exporters compete with producers from countries that also supply clothing, fabric, towels, and other textile products to international buyers.

Customers in foreign markets often compare suppliers on price, quality, delivery time, and reliability. If Pakistani manufacturers face higher production costs, they may find it harder to offer competitive prices.

For example, an exporter may agree to supply a shipment at a fixed price months before the goods are produced. If the cost of imported materials rises after the agreement, the exporter may have to pay more than expected to complete the order.

The company may not be able to increase the selling price because the buyer has already agreed to the original amount. In such cases, the additional cost can reduce the profit earned from the order.

If this happens repeatedly, exporters may become less willing to accept new orders. International buyers may also look for suppliers in other countries if Pakistani companies cannot meet their price or delivery requirements.

This does not mean that every tax increase will automatically reduce exports. The final effect depends on the type of imported goods covered by the tax, the rate charged, market conditions, and the ability of manufacturers to manage the added cost.

However, textile representatives believe that the government should avoid introducing measures that place unnecessary pressure on export-oriented businesses.

They argue that a stable tax system would help companies prepare for future orders, control expenses, and build stronger relationships with international customers.

Maryam Nawaz Urged to Review the Decision

The textile industry has asked Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to take notice of the issue and consider cancelling the new import tax. Industry representatives want the government to understand the challenges faced by manufacturers before introducing or continuing policies that may increase their operating costs.

They believe that consultation between the government and business community is necessary to develop policies that support industrial growth. Business owners and manufacturers have practical experience of the difficulties involved in importing materials, managing factories, and fulfilling export orders.

By listening to these concerns, the government may be able to identify a solution that addresses its financial needs without placing an unnecessary burden on the textile sector.

The industry also wants clear information about the tax, including which imported goods are covered, how the charges will be applied, and what businesses should expect in the coming months.

Clear rules are important because companies need to prepare their budgets and make decisions about purchasing materials and accepting orders. Sudden changes can make it difficult for manufacturers to estimate costs and plan their operations.

For the textile sector, the main concern is to maintain a business environment in which factories can continue producing goods, workers can keep their jobs, and exporters can compete with international suppliers.

Impact on Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

Large textile companies may have more resources to deal with rising costs, but smaller businesses often face greater financial challenges.

Small and medium-sized manufacturers usually operate with limited budgets. They may depend on bank loans, advance payments from customers, or regular sales to pay for raw materials and other expenses.

An increase in import costs can put these businesses under pressure. They may struggle to purchase the required materials in sufficient quantities or find it difficult to maintain their usual production levels.

Some smaller companies may try to pass the extra cost on to customers. However, this approach is not always possible, particularly when buyers can purchase similar products from other suppliers.

If a business cannot increase its prices, it may have to accept lower profits. Over time, this can affect its ability to pay workers, maintain equipment, and invest in better production methods.

The problem may also affect businesses that supply goods and services to textile factories. If manufacturers reduce their purchases, local suppliers could experience a decline in sales.

For these reasons, industry representatives believe that tax decisions should consider the needs of businesses of different sizes. A policy that appears manageable for a large company may create serious difficulties for a smaller manufacturer.

Possible Effects on Jobs and Workers

Pakistan’s textile sector provides employment to a large number of people in factories, mills, warehouses, transport companies, and related businesses.

The industry also creates opportunities for people working in stitching units, garment production, packaging, quality checking, and other activities.

When factories operate at full capacity, they need workers to manage production and fulfil orders. However, when costs rise and orders become less profitable, some companies may review their operating expenses.

Depending on the scale of the financial pressure, businesses could reduce working hours, delay recruitment, or limit plans to expand their factories. In more difficult situations, some employers may be forced to cut jobs.

These outcomes are not guaranteed, but they show why policies affecting major industries need careful consideration.

For workers, the textile sector provides income that helps families pay for food, education, healthcare, housing, and other daily needs. A slowdown in factory activity can therefore affect households as well as businesses.

The effects may also reach communities where textile factories are a major source of employment. Local shops, transport operators, food sellers, and other service providers often depend on the income earned by factory workers.

Industry representatives want the government to consider these wider effects when reviewing the new import tax. They believe that supporting industrial activity can help protect employment and maintain economic activity in areas that depend on textile production.

Pakistan Needs Stronger Export Performance

Pakistan needs a strong export sector to improve its economic position and earn more foreign exchange. Textile products have traditionally been an important part of the country’s export earnings.

However, earning more from exports requires businesses to remain competitive. Manufacturers must control production costs, improve product quality, meet delivery deadlines, and respond to changing customer needs.

Government policies can influence all these areas. Import duties and taxes affect the price of materials and equipment, while energy prices, financing costs, transport expenses, and tax rules also influence the final cost of production.

If businesses face unpredictable expenses, they may find it difficult to make long-term plans. Investors may become cautious about opening new factories or expanding existing operations.

On the other hand, a stable and clear business environment can help companies make better decisions. Manufacturers can plan purchases, invest in modern equipment, train workers, and explore new markets when they have a clearer idea of future costs.

The textile industry believes that reducing unnecessary financial pressure could help Pakistani exporters improve their position in international markets.

At the same time, export growth depends on several factors. Removing an import tax alone cannot solve every problem faced by manufacturers. Better energy supply, improved technology, access to finance, skilled workers, and reliable government policies are also important.

A wider strategy that addresses these issues could help the textile sector increase production and develop more value-added products.

Why Government Consultation Matters

Tax policies are often introduced to meet government revenue needs, regulate imports, or achieve other economic goals. However, their effects can differ from one industry to another.

A tax on certain imported products may affect manufacturers differently depending on whether they can buy alternatives locally. Businesses that rely on specialised imported materials may have fewer options than companies that use locally available supplies.

This is why consultation with industry representatives can be useful before a policy is introduced or changed.

Manufacturers can explain which materials are essential, how much the additional charges could increase their expenses, and whether suitable local alternatives are available.

The government can then assess these concerns alongside its own economic and revenue objectives.

A balanced approach may help prevent unnecessary costs while allowing the government to achieve its policy goals. It can also reduce confusion among businesses and make it easier for companies to follow the rules.

In the case of the new import tax, textile representatives want the government to review the decision and consider their request for its cancellation.

Whether the tax is withdrawn, revised, or retained will depend on the government’s assessment and the details of the policy. Until an official decision is announced, businesses should avoid assuming that the tax has been cancelled.

What the Textile Industry Wants Next

The industry’s immediate demand is for Maryam Nawaz to take notice of the new import tax and help address the concerns of textile manufacturers.

Business representatives want a review that considers the possible effects on production costs, exports, investment, and employment. They also want policies that provide greater certainty for companies planning their operations.

If the tax is affecting essential production materials, the government could examine whether changes are needed. Depending on the rules and the products involved, possible options could include withdrawing the measure, revising its scope, or providing a suitable arrangement for industries that depend on imported inputs.

Any such option would require an official decision and a clear explanation of the conditions involved.

The most important point for businesses is to have a predictable system. Manufacturers need to know the costs they will face so that they can prepare budgets, negotiate prices, and meet commitments to customers.

A discussion between the government and industry representatives could help establish the facts and identify a practical way forward.

Conclusion

Pakistan’s textile industry has urged Maryam Nawaz to cancel the new import tax, warning that additional costs could make business operations more difficult. The sector already has to manage expenses related to energy, labour, raw materials, transport, and other production needs.

Because textiles contribute to exports and provide employment to many people, any policy affecting the industry deserves careful attention.

Manufacturers believe that reducing unnecessary costs could help them remain competitive, protect jobs, and invest in future growth. However, the actual impact of the tax will depend on the goods covered and the charges involved.

The government’s response will be important for businesses seeking clarity about their future expenses. A careful review, supported by consultation with industry representatives, could help balance revenue needs with the importance of maintaining a strong export sector.

For now, the textile industry’s main demand remains clear: review the new import tax, consider its effect on manufacturers, and take steps to ensure that Pakistani textile businesses can continue competing in international markets.

Honor X9a Full Specifications, Features, Price in Pakistan, and Review

The Honor X9a is a stylish smartphone designed for users who want a beautiful display, a slim body, reliable performance, and a good camera experience. It became popular because of its curved AMOLED screen, lightweight design, and large battery. The phone is suitable for people who use social media, watch videos, take pictures, browse the internet, and enjoy everyday mobile gaming.

Honor introduced the X9a as a mid-range smartphone with a strong focus on design and display quality. Its curved screen gives it a premium look, while its 5,100mAh battery helps users stay connected throughout the day. The phone also comes with a 64MP main camera, a 40W fast-charging system, and a Snapdragon processor.

For Pakistani users, the Honor X9a can be an interesting option in the used-phone market, especially for those who want a premium-looking phone without buying an expensive flagship device. However, its current price depends on the phone’s condition, storage variant, PTA approval status, and seller.

Design and Build Quality

The Honor X9a has a modern design that makes it look more expensive than many ordinary mid-range smartphones. Its slim body, curved screen edges, and circular camera section on the back give it a premium appearance.

The phone measures approximately 7.9mm in thickness and weighs around 175 grams. This makes it relatively light and easy to carry in a pocket or small bag. Users who spend several hours using their phones may also appreciate its comfortable size.

Honor has placed the rear cameras inside a circular design that stands out from the back panel. This gives the phone a different look compared with devices that use a simple rectangular camera island.

The Honor X9a is available in Midnight Black, Emerald Green, and Titanium Silver. Each colour offers a different style, allowing buyers to choose according to their personal taste.

Another important feature is the reinforced glass used for the curved display. Honor has tested the screen against different types of impact, but this does not mean the phone is unbreakable. A protective case and screen protector are still sensible choices, especially for users who carry their phones everywhere.

Display Quality and Viewing Experience

The display is one of the biggest selling points of the Honor X9a. It features a 6.67-inch curved AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1080 × 2400 pixels. This provides clear text, detailed images, and rich colours for everyday use.

The curved edges give the screen a premium appearance and help the display cover most of the front side. Whether you are scrolling through Facebook, watching YouTube videos, reading news, or browsing websites, the large screen offers plenty of viewing space.

The phone also supports a 120Hz refresh rate. In simple words, this feature allows supported screen movements to appear smoother than on a standard 60Hz display. Scrolling through menus, switching between apps, and moving through social media feeds can feel more responsive.

The AMOLED technology helps produce deep blacks and bright colours. It is especially useful when watching movies, viewing pictures, or using apps with dark themes. The screen supports a wide range of colours, while its listed high-brightness mode reaches up to 800 nits, helping with outdoor viewing.

Honor has also included high-frequency screen dimming technology to reduce visible flickering in certain low-light situations. The display is certified for low blue-light emissions, although comfortable screen use still depends on brightness settings and personal habits.

Overall, the Honor X9a’s display remains a strong feature for people who care about screen quality and smooth scrolling.

Performance and Processor

The Honor X9a runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G processor, which is built using a 6nm process. It is a mid-range chipset designed to balance everyday performance, network support, and power use.

For normal tasks, the phone is suitable for WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, web browsing, online shopping, and other common applications. Users can switch between several apps, although the experience will depend on how many apps are running and how much storage space remains available.

The Adreno 619 graphics processor handles the phone’s graphics. It can run many popular mobile games, but it is not designed to deliver the same gaming performance as expensive flagship phones.

Games such as PUBG Mobile may run well with suitable graphics settings, but players should not expect every demanding game to run at the highest settings with a consistently high frame rate. Performance can also change with temperature, software updates, and game optimisation.

The device includes 8GB of physical RAM and supports Honor RAM Turbo, which uses part of the internal storage to provide additional virtual memory. This can help with multitasking, but virtual RAM is not a direct replacement for physical RAM.

The 256GB internal storage gives users space for applications, pictures, videos, documents, and downloaded files. The listed model does not offer a memory card slot, so buyers who store large amounts of media should consider their storage needs before purchasing.

For everyday users, the processor offers a reasonable balance between performance and battery use. Heavy gamers and people who need powerful video-editing tools may prefer a newer or faster device.

Honor X9a Camera Review

The Honor X9a comes with a triple rear camera system. It includes a 64MP main camera, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro camera. On the front, there is a 16MP camera for selfies and video calls.

 

64MP Main Camera

The main camera is designed to capture detailed photos in good lighting. It is suitable for everyday photography, family pictures, outdoor scenes, and social media posts.

 

16MP Front Camera

The front camera is useful for selfies, video calls, and short videos. Its results will depend on lighting, camera settings, and how you use the phone.

64MP Main Camera

The 64MP main camera is the most important camera on the back of the phone. It can capture detailed images in daylight, making it suitable for taking pictures of people, buildings, food, and outdoor locations.

For the best results, users should try to take pictures in good lighting. Image quality may become weaker in dark rooms or at night, where noise and loss of detail can become more noticeable.

5MP Ultra-Wide Camera

The 5MP ultra-wide camera allows users to capture a wider view of a scene. It can be helpful when taking group photos or photographing buildings and landscapes.

However, its lower resolution means it may not capture the same level of detail as the main camera. For important pictures, the main sensor is generally the better option.

2MP Macro Camera

The 2MP macro camera is designed for close-up pictures of small objects. Users can try it for flowers, leaves, and other nearby subjects.

Its results are best treated as an additional photography feature rather than a major reason to buy the phone.

Front Camera for Selfies

The 16MP front camera supports selfies and video calls. It can be useful for students, office workers, content creators, and people who regularly communicate with friends and family online.

The phone supports video recording at up to 1080p at 30 frames per second with its listed camera specifications. It does not offer the same advanced video features found on many premium smartphones.

Battery Life and Charging

Battery performance is another important part of the Honor X9a. Honor lists a typical battery capacity of 5,100mAh, with a rated capacity of 5,000mAh. The phone also supports 40W wired fast charging.

The battery is suitable for people who use their phones throughout the day. Normal activities such as messaging, browsing, making calls, watching videos, and checking social media should be manageable without frequent charging, although actual battery life depends on usage.

For example, someone who mainly uses WhatsApp and makes occasional calls may get longer battery life than a person who plays games, watches videos for hours, or keeps the screen brightness high.

The 40W charging system helps reduce the time needed to recharge the battery compared with slower charging systems. However, actual charging speed depends on the charger, cable, temperature, and battery condition.

For the best results, use a compatible original charger and cable. When purchasing a used Honor X9a, check battery performance carefully because an older battery may not last as long as it did when the phone was new.

Software and User Experience

The Honor X9a originally launched with Android 12 and Magic UI 6.1. The interface includes the usual smartphone features, such as app notifications, home-screen customisation, privacy controls, and tools for managing applications.

Users familiar with Android phones should find the basic controls easy to understand. The interface supports common apps used in Pakistan, including WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and online banking applications, subject to their current software requirements.

Honor also introduced features such as Honor Share for file transfers between supported devices. These tools may be useful for people who own other compatible Honor products.

However, buyers should remember that the Honor X9a is an older model. Its available software version, security updates, and compatibility with future applications may differ depending on the region and device.

Before buying a used unit, open the settings menu and check the installed Android version, security patch, and available updates. It is also wise to test important apps to make sure they work properly.

Connectivity and Other Features

The Honor X9a supports 5G network technology, along with 4G LTE and older mobile network standards. This gives the phone the hardware capability to connect to compatible 5G networks where the required service and coverage are available.

It also includes dual Nano-SIM support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, NFC in supported versions, and a USB Type-C port. An under-display fingerprint sensor provides a convenient way to unlock the device.

These features make the phone suitable for everyday communication and internet use. However, 5G support does not guarantee that the service will work everywhere. Network availability depends on local operators, coverage, and supported frequency bands.

People who use wireless earphones, smartwatches, or other accessories should also check compatibility before purchasing.

If gaming is your main priority, compare the Honor X9a with newer phones that have more powerful processors and better graphics performance.

Should You Buy the Honor X9a in Pakistan?

The Honor X9a remains worth considering for people who value display quality, attractive design, and everyday performance. Its curved AMOLED screen gives it a premium appearance, while its slim body makes it easy to carry.

It is a reasonable option for students, office workers, social media users, and people who mainly use their phones for calls, messaging, videos, photography, and browsing.

However, its value depends heavily on the price. Since it is an older model, buyers should compare it with newer phones available in the same budget. Pay particular attention to software support, camera quality, battery condition, and repair costs.

For used-phone buyers, also check the screen for green lines, dead pixels, touch problems, and signs of previous repairs. Confirm the PTA status and IMEI before making a payment.

Final verdict: The Honor X9a is a stylish mid-range smartphone with an excellent display for its class, a capable main camera, and a slim design. Its older processor and software are the main points to consider before buying it in 2026.

CM Bugti Says Situation in KP and Balochistan Cannot Be Compared

Introduction

Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti has said that the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan cannot be compared. His statement highlights the differences between the security conditions, political challenges, and administrative issues faced by the two provinces.

Both provinces have faced security problems and other challenges over the years. However, their local conditions, security concerns, and political situations are different. According to CM Bugti, these differences must be kept in mind when discussing the problems faced by either province.

The statement has also drawn attention to the wider debate about security, governance, and the responsibilities of provincial governments in Pakistan. Both KP and Balochistan are important parts of the country, but each province has its own history, geography, and local issues that affect how the government responds to challenges.

CM Bugti Highlights Differences Between the Two Provinces

CM Sarfraz Bugti’s statement makes it clear that the situation in KP should not automatically be treated as the same as the situation in Balochistan. Although both provinces have faced security-related difficulties, the reasons behind these problems and the conditions on the ground may differ.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has its own security challenges, particularly in areas affected by militant activity and violence. Balochistan, meanwhile, faces a different set of concerns linked to its large geographical area, difficult terrain, security threats, and long-standing political and economic issues.

These differences make it difficult to use the same approach to understand or address every problem in both provinces. A policy that works in one area may not produce the same results in another. Provincial governments and security institutions must consider local conditions before making decisions.

Bugti’s remarks underline the importance of looking at each province separately rather than making direct comparisons without considering the facts.

Security Challenges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has remained an important part of Pakistan’s security debate. Some districts have experienced militant attacks, violence against security personnel, and threats to local communities. These incidents have created difficulties for residents, government workers, and law enforcement agencies.

The province’s location near the Afghan border also affects its security situation. Developments across the border, the movement of armed groups, and regional security conditions can influence events inside KP.

In areas affected by violence, ordinary people often face serious difficulties. Families may worry about their safety, businesses may suffer, and children may experience interruptions in their education. Security operations can also affect daily life in areas where authorities are trying to restore peace.

The provincial government and security agencies have to deal with these challenges while ensuring that public services continue to operate. Maintaining law and order, protecting citizens, and supporting affected communities remain important responsibilities.

However, KP’s circumstances cannot be fully understood without looking at its own history, geography, political environment, and the nature of the threats faced by different districts.

Balochistan Faces Its Own Set of Problems

Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province by area and has a distinct geographical and social structure. Its vast land, scattered population, border regions, and remote settlements create special challenges for administration and security.

Providing basic facilities in distant areas can be difficult. Roads, schools, hospitals, clean drinking water, electricity, and employment opportunities remain important concerns for many communities. The distance between towns and villages can also make it harder for public institutions to reach people quickly.

The province has also faced security threats, including attacks by armed groups. Such incidents can affect local residents, workers, transport routes, public institutions, and economic activities.

At the same time, Balochistan’s challenges are not limited to security alone. Economic development, public representation, access to services, and the creation of job opportunities are also important issues.

CM Bugti’s statement should therefore be understood in the context of the province’s individual circumstances. The problems faced by Balochistan need to be assessed according to local realities instead of being judged only through comparisons with another province.

Why Direct Comparisons Can Be Misleading

Comparing two provinces without looking at their circumstances can lead to an incomplete understanding of the problems they face. Security figures, political statements, and reports about individual incidents need to be examined carefully.

For example, the number of security incidents in a particular district does not always explain the full situation. The type of incident, the number of people affected, the reasons behind the violence, and the response of the authorities are also important.

The same applies to governance and development. One province may face greater difficulties in providing services because its population is spread across remote areas. Another may have different problems linked to its location, population centres, or security conditions.

This does not mean that comparisons should never be made. Instead, comparisons should be based on reliable information and should consider the differences between the areas being discussed.

Bugti’s position points towards the need for a more detailed discussion of the challenges facing KP and Balochistan. Rather than treating both provinces as identical, policymakers and the public need to understand their individual circumstances.

Governance and Public Services Remain Important

Security is only one part of the challenges faced by provincial governments. Providing education, healthcare, employment, transport, and other basic facilities is equally important for improving people’s lives.

In Balochistan, the province’s large size makes the delivery of public services especially challenging. Some communities live far from major cities and government offices. As a result, reaching hospitals, schools, and other facilities can take considerable time.

The provincial government has a responsibility to ensure that people in remote areas also receive the services they need. Better roads, functional schools, well-equipped hospitals, and effective local administration can help improve daily life.

In KP, the government also has to address public service needs while dealing with security concerns in affected districts. Residents need safe communities, educational opportunities, healthcare facilities, and stable economic conditions.

Both provinces require effective planning, transparent use of public funds, and strong institutions. However, the policies used to achieve these goals may need to differ according to local needs.

A successful approach should focus on practical results, including better access to services, improved safety, and more opportunities for young people.

The Importance of Understanding Local Conditions

Pakistan’s provinces have different geographical features, populations, economic activities, and histories. These differences influence the problems faced by local communities and the way governments respond to them.

Balochistan’s vast territory and remote settlements create challenges for public administration and security operations. KP has its own geographical conditions and security concerns, particularly in areas affected by militant violence.

These factors should be considered when evaluating the performance of provincial governments and security institutions. General statements alone cannot explain the full picture.

Local communities can also help identify the problems that need immediate attention. Residents understand the difficulties they face in their daily lives, including access to education, healthcare, employment, and public services.

Listening to local people and involving elected representatives in decision-making can help authorities develop more suitable policies. This approach can also improve public trust and make government programmes more effective.

For this reason, discussions about KP and Balochistan should be based on evidence, local experience, and a clear understanding of the challenges in each province.

Political Differences and the Need for Responsible Discussion

Statements about security and governance can sometimes become part of wider political debates. Political leaders may disagree over how to handle violence, how to evaluate government performance, and which policies should be followed.

However, discussions about sensitive issues require care. Unsupported claims and one-sided arguments can make it harder for people to understand the real situation.

Political leaders have an important role in explaining their positions and presenting information that helps the public make informed decisions. They should also recognise the concerns of citizens who are directly affected by security problems.

The people of KP and Balochistan should not be reduced to political arguments about which province faces greater difficulties. Residents in both provinces deserve safety, justice, economic opportunities, and access to essential services.

A constructive debate should focus on solutions rather than turning the problems of one province into a point of conflict with another.

What the Statement Means for Pakistan

CM Bugti’s remarks highlight a broader issue in Pakistan’s public debate: the need to understand regional challenges in their proper context.

KP and Balochistan are both important to Pakistan’s security, economic development, and national stability. Problems in either province can affect local communities and create wider concerns for the country.

At the same time, the solutions must take account of the different conditions in each region. Security measures, administrative reforms, development projects, and public welfare programmes should be designed according to the needs of the people they are intended to serve.

The federal government and provincial administrations can also benefit from cooperation. Sharing useful information, improving coordination, and learning from successful policies may help both provinces address common concerns.

Such cooperation does not require the two provinces to be treated as identical. Instead, it allows governments to recognise their differences while working towards shared national goals.

Ultimately, public safety and better living standards should remain central to any discussion about provincial conditions.

Conclusion

Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti has said that the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan cannot be compared directly. His statement draws attention to the different security, geographical, political, and administrative conditions in the two provinces.

Both regions have faced serious challenges, but the nature of these problems varies. Balochistan’s large area and scattered population create particular difficulties for administration and service delivery, while parts of KP have faced security threats linked to militant activity.

Understanding these differences is important when discussing government performance, security policies, and development plans. At the same time, both provinces need effective governance, better public services, economic opportunities, and lasting peace.

The main issue is not simply which province faces greater difficulties. It is how governments can understand local problems and develop practical solutions that protect citizens and improve their lives.

A balanced discussion based on reliable information can help the public better understand the situation in both provinces and encourage a more constructive approach to Pakistan’s wider challenges.

Govt-Owned Companies Are Dirt Cheap: Why State-Owned Businesses May Be Undervalued

Govt-Owned Companies Are Dirt Cheap: Why State-Owned Businesses May Be Undervalued

Pakistan’s government-owned companies have become an important topic in discussions about the country’s economy, public finances, and investment opportunities. Many of these businesses operate in major sectors, including energy, banking, transport, and telecommunications. They own valuable assets, serve millions of people, and play a major role in the country’s daily economic activities.

However, despite their importance, some government-owned companies may be valued much lower than their actual business potential. This has raised questions about why these businesses are not attracting higher market values and whether changes in their management, financial performance, and ownership could help unlock their worth.

The phrase “dirt cheap” suggests that these companies may be available at very low prices compared with the value investors believe they could deliver. However, a low valuation does not automatically mean that a company is a good investment. Investors must also consider its debts, profits, management, future plans, and the risks linked to government control.

For Pakistan, the issue is particularly important because the government faces pressure to improve public finances, reduce losses, and make better use of state-owned assets. Improving the performance of these businesses could support economic growth while reducing the financial burden on taxpayers.

Since the original article text was not provided, the following is a fresh, expanded article based on the headline. Specific company valuations, financial figures, and investment claims have not been assumed.

Pakistan Targets More Than $1 Billion Through Privatisation

Pakistan is planning to raise more than $1 billion during the current fiscal year by selling stakes in five or six state-owned businesses. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb shared this plan while speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in Bangkok.

The government has around a dozen state-owned entities in its privatisation pipeline. These include power distribution companies and plans to hand over airport operations to private operators.

The plan reflects the government’s efforts to reduce its direct role in running businesses and encourage private companies to take a bigger part in economic activity. The government believes that private investment and professional management can help improve the performance of businesses that have struggled under state control.

According to Aurangzeb, the government expects to complete five or six transactions during fiscal year 2026–27. If successful, these sales could bring in more than $1 billion.

However, the final amount will depend on the value of the businesses, investor interest, and the terms of each transaction.

Why Government-Owned Companies May Be Undervalued

Government-owned companies often have assets that are worth a significant amount of money. These may include land, buildings, industrial equipment, power networks, transport facilities, and other important infrastructure.

Some businesses also have established customer bases and operate in sectors where demand remains strong. Despite these advantages, their market value may not fully reflect their assets or long-term business potential.

One reason is the way these companies are managed. Businesses operating under government control may face delays in decision-making, changes in leadership, and pressure to follow political priorities instead of commercial goals.

For example, a private company may quickly approve a new investment, introduce a service, or change its business plan to respond to market conditions. A government-owned business may need approval from several departments before taking similar action.

Such delays can make it difficult to compete with private companies. They may also increase operating costs and reduce the company’s ability to respond to changes in customer demand.

Investors often take these problems into account when deciding how much a business is worth. Even when a company owns valuable assets, concerns about its future performance can lead to a lower valuation.

This is why some investors believe that changes in ownership and management could help certain government-owned companies become more valuable.

Poor Management Can Reduce Business Value

A company’s value depends on more than the assets it owns. Its ability to earn money, control expenses, pay debts, and grow over time is equally important.

A business may own valuable property and equipment but still struggle to generate enough income. High operating costs, outdated systems, weak management, and poor planning can reduce its profits.

Government-owned companies may also face pressure to provide services at prices that do not fully cover their costs. In some cases, they may be asked to support public programmes or maintain services in areas where commercial returns are limited.

These responsibilities can serve an important public purpose. However, they can also create financial pressure if the government does not provide clear funding for the additional costs.

When losses continue for several years, the government may need to provide financial support. This can place an additional burden on public finances, particularly when the country also needs money for education, healthcare, infrastructure, and debt payments.

Improving management practices, setting clear performance targets, and giving businesses greater operational freedom may help address these problems.

Privatisation Could Attract New Investment

One of the main reasons behind Pakistan’s privatisation plan is the need to attract private investment.

Private investors may bring fresh capital, modern technology, better management systems, and new business ideas. They may also have stronger reasons to control costs and improve customer services because their financial returns depend on the company’s performance.

A change in ownership can also make it easier to introduce new business plans without the delays that sometimes affect government-run organisations.

For example, a private investor taking over a struggling business may review its expenses, upgrade its systems, improve staff training, and introduce more efficient ways of working.

These changes could improve profits and help the business compete more effectively.

However, private ownership does not guarantee success. The results depend on the quality of the investor, the purchase price, the company’s financial position, and the rules under which it operates.

The government must also ensure that privatisation does not create private monopolies that charge consumers higher prices without improving services.

Government Hopes to Complete Five or Six Deals

Pakistan has been working to sell or transfer control of selected state-owned businesses as part of its wider economic reform programme.

The current plan includes around a dozen entities at different stages of the process. The government hopes to complete five or six transactions in fiscal year 2026–27 and raise more than $1 billion.

Power distribution companies are among the businesses being considered. The government has also discussed outsourcing airport operations, which could allow private operators to manage selected services and facilities.

Each transaction will have its own conditions, financial arrangements, and potential challenges. Some businesses may attract more interest from investors than others.

The success of the programme will therefore depend on how well the government prepares these businesses for sale, assesses their value, and negotiates with potential buyers.

Selling a company too cheaply could mean losing valuable public assets. On the other hand, setting an unrealistic price could discourage investors and delay the process.

A fair and transparent sale process is important for protecting the public interest.

Pakistan’s Economic Growth Outlook

Aurangzeb also said Pakistan’s economy remained on track despite higher oil prices. The government expects economic growth of more than 4% in fiscal year 2026–27.

Higher oil prices can create problems for countries that rely heavily on imported energy. They can increase the cost of transport, electricity generation, industrial production, and other essential activities.

These higher costs may put pressure on households and businesses. They can also increase the amount of money the country needs to pay for energy imports.

The finance minister said Pakistan had secured adequate fuel supplies and that important parts of the economy, including agriculture, were holding up.

Agriculture is particularly important for Pakistan because it supports a large number of households and provides raw materials for several industries. Better agricultural performance can support rural incomes, food supplies, and economic activity.

However, maintaining economic growth also requires progress in other areas. Businesses need a stable economic environment, investors need confidence, and the government must continue working to manage public debt and improve the country’s financial position.

Privatisation is one part of this wider effort rather than a complete solution to Pakistan’s economic challenges.

IMF Agreement Provides Additional Support

Pakistan recently reached a staff-level agreement with the IMF that could unlock around $1.21 billion in financing under its existing loan programme and a climate-related facility, according to the finance minister’s remarks reported by Reuters.

IMF support is important because it can help Pakistan meet its financial needs and maintain confidence among international lenders and investors.

However, such financing generally comes with economic targets and reform requirements. These can include measures to improve public finances, strengthen economic management, and address long-standing weaknesses in the economy.

The government must continue working to meet the conditions agreed with the lender while also supporting economic activity and protecting vulnerable households.

Privatisation may support these efforts if it reduces the need for government assistance to loss-making businesses and improves the use of public resources.

At the same time, the government needs to ensure that the sale of assets does not become a temporary way to cover spending without addressing deeper financial problems.

Proposed $10 Billion Facility With the United States

Aurangzeb also discussed a proposed $10 billion exchange stabilisation facility involving the United States.

According to his remarks, Pakistan was continuing discussions on the proposal but had not set a timeline for completing negotiations.

He said the facility would provide additional support, although its absence would not affect Pakistan’s access to financial markets.

The proposal is separate from the planned sale of state-owned companies. However, both issues form part of the wider discussion about Pakistan’s financial stability, foreign investment, and economic outlook.

If secured, additional financial support could strengthen the country’s position, depending on the final terms and structure of the arrangement.

Still, long-term economic stability requires more than external financing. Pakistan also needs stronger exports, productive businesses, sustainable public spending, and policies that encourage investment.

PIA Privatisation Sets the Background

The government has positioned its current privatisation efforts as part of a broader reform programme that includes the sale of Pakistan International Airlines.

The airline’s privatisation was reported as having taken place in the previous year, providing an important example of the government’s move to reduce its direct involvement in commercial operations.

 

ProPakistani

State-owned businesses can become difficult to manage when they face years of financial losses, rising expenses, and limited flexibility. In such cases, a transfer of ownership or management may offer a chance to improve performance.

However, each company has different needs. The experience of one business cannot automatically predict the outcome for another.

A successful transaction should consider the company’s financial position, its importance to the public, the level of competition in its sector, and the investor’s ability to improve its operations.

The government must also clearly explain how the money raised from sales will be used. If the proceeds are spent without improving the country’s financial position, the long-term benefits could be limited.

Using the money wisely, including where appropriate to reduce debt or support productive investment, could help make the programme more valuable for the economy.

What Investors Should Consider

The idea that government-owned companies are available at very low valuations may attract investors, but it should not be treated as proof that every such company is a bargain.

Before investing, people should examine several important factors.

Financial performance: Investors should review revenue, profits, operating expenses, and cash flow. A company with valuable assets may still face serious financial problems.

Debt and liabilities: Existing loans, unpaid bills, legal disputes, and other obligations can reduce the real value of a business.

Management quality: A company needs capable leaders and a clear business plan to improve its performance after a change in ownership.

Government policy: Changes in regulations, ownership rules, and political priorities may affect the future of state-owned businesses.

Sale price: Investors should compare the proposed purchase price with the company’s assets, earnings, debts, and future prospects.

Competition: A business may have a strong market position today but face growing competition or changes in technology.

These factors help explain why a low share price or low valuation does not always mean that an investment is cheap in the financial sense. Sometimes, a low valuation reflects real risks that investors must understand before making a decision.

What This Means for Pakistan

Pakistan’s plan to privatise selected state-owned companies could create opportunities to improve business performance and attract fresh investment. It may also help the government reduce its involvement in activities that private businesses can manage more efficiently.

However, the outcome will depend on how the programme is carried out.

The government needs to protect public assets, select suitable buyers, encourage competition, and ensure that important services remain reliable and affordable. Workers and consumers may also be affected by changes in ownership, so clear rules and proper oversight are necessary.

For the economy, the biggest benefit would come if privatisation leads to stronger businesses, lower financial losses, better services, and more productive use of resources.

Raising money through asset sales can provide short-term financial relief, but lasting improvement requires better management and wider economic reforms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why are government-owned companies sometimes described as dirt cheap?

The term suggests that some businesses may have a market value that is low compared with their assets or potential earnings. However, their actual value depends on their financial position, management, debts, and future performance.

2. How much does Pakistan expect to raise through privatisation?

Pakistan expects to raise more than $1 billion by completing five or six state-owned entity transactions during fiscal year 2026–27, according to Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb’s remarks reported by Reuters.

3. Which types of businesses are included in Pakistan’s privatisation plans?

The government’s pipeline includes power distribution companies and plans to outsource airport operations. Around a dozen state-owned entities are under consideration at different stages.

4. Can privatisation improve company performance?

It can help by bringing new investment, professional management, modern technology, and better control over expenses. However, success depends on the investor, the terms of the deal, and the business environment.

5. Does a low company valuation mean it is a good investment?

No. A low valuation may reflect debt, ongoing losses, weak management, or other risks. Investors should examine the company’s financial statements and future prospects before making a decision.

6. How can privatisation benefit Pakistan’s economy?

If properly managed, privatisation can reduce financial pressure on the government, attract investment, improve services, and support more efficient business operations. Its long-term value depends on transparent sales and effective regulation.

Conclusion

Pakistan’s plan to raise more than $1 billion from the privatisation of selected state-owned businesses reflects a wider effort to improve the economy and give private investors a greater role in commercial activity.

Some government-owned companies may have valuable assets and room to improve their performance. However, unlocking that value requires careful planning, fair prices, capable management, and clear rules.

The real test will not simply be how much money the government collects from selling these businesses. It will be whether the transactions lead to lasting improvements in public finances, business efficiency, investment, and services for the people of Pakistan.

Specifications are based on published product listings and may differ between regional variants.

Design and Build Quality

The RedMagic 11 Pro has a bold design that clearly shows its gaming-focused identity. Instead of following the simple look of many regular smartphones, it uses a design inspired by gaming computers and high-performance hardware.

Its front is mostly covered by the display, while the back can feature a stylish finish with gaming-inspired details. Selected versions offer transparent-style designs that show parts of the phone’s internal appearance. These designs may appeal to users who like unique gadgets.

The phone uses an aluminium frame with glass on the front and back. Its build is designed to feel premium, although the device is heavier than many standard smartphones.

With a reported weight of around 230 grams, it may feel heavy during long gaming sessions or when used with one hand. However, users who prefer a large gaming phone may find this acceptable.

The camera lenses sit close to the back panel, helping maintain a cleaner appearance than phones with very large camera bumps. Colour choices can vary depending on the seller and region, so buyers should confirm the available versions before ordering.

Display: A Big Screen for Gaming

One of the main attractions of the ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro is its 6.85-inch AMOLED display. The large screen provides plenty of space for gaming, watching videos, reading, and browsing social media.

AMOLED technology helps produce deep blacks, strong contrast, and rich colours. This can make games look more colourful and movies more enjoyable, especially when watching content with dark scenes.

The display has a resolution of 1216 × 2688 pixels, offering clear images and readable text. It is suitable for users who want a sharp screen for both entertainment and everyday work.

Another important feature is the 144Hz refresh rate. A higher refresh rate allows the display to update more frequently, making scrolling, supported animations, and compatible games look smoother.

However, the actual frame rate depends on the game, its settings, and software support. Not every game will run at 144 frames per second simply because the phone has a 144Hz screen.

The display also offers a high peak brightness rating, helping users see content in bright surroundings. An under-display selfie camera removes the need for a traditional camera cut-out, giving the screen a more uninterrupted appearance.

For gamers who care about screen size, smooth movement, and visual quality, this display is one of the phone’s strongest features.

Processor and Performance

The RedMagic 11 Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. It is designed to deliver high performance for demanding games, multitasking, and other heavy tasks.

A powerful processor can help games load quickly, improve response times, and handle detailed graphics. It can also make everyday activities such as switching between apps, browsing websites, and editing videos feel smooth.

The phone also includes the Adreno 840 graphics processor, which handles graphics-related work. This is especially important for games with detailed environments, fast action, and advanced visual effects.

Another feature is the RedCore R4 gaming chip, which supports selected gaming and display functions. It is intended to work alongside the main processor to help improve the gaming experience in supported situations.

The available 16GB RAM version should provide plenty of memory for running demanding games and keeping several applications open. With 512GB of internal storage, users can also install many games, save videos, and store photos without quickly running out of space.

The phone does not list a memory card slot, so buyers should choose their storage version carefully.

Overall, its hardware makes the RedMagic 11 Pro a strong option for users who place gaming speed and performance above other features.

Advanced Cooling System

Gaming phones can become hot when their processors run at high power for long periods. Excessive heat may reduce performance and make a device uncomfortable to hold.

The RedMagic 11 Pro addresses this issue with an advanced cooling setup. Its system combines liquid cooling technology, a vapour chamber, and an active cooling fan to help control heat.

The liquid cooling system is one of the phone’s key selling points. It is designed to move heat away from important components, while the fan helps improve airflow inside the device.

This setup aims to maintain more stable performance during extended gaming sessions. It may be particularly useful for people who play demanding games for hours or use high graphics settings.

However, cooling technology cannot remove all heat in every situation. Room temperature, game settings, charging, and the length of a gaming session can affect results.

The built-in fan may also produce some sound when running. Even so, a dedicated cooling system gives the RedMagic 11 Pro an advantage over many ordinary phones that depend mainly on passive cooling.

Gaming Features and Controls

The RedMagic 11 Pro includes several features created specifically for mobile gamers. One of the most useful additions is its pair of shoulder trigger buttons.

These touch-sensitive controls can be assigned to different actions in supported games. For example, players may use them to aim, shoot, jump, or perform other actions without relying entirely on the touchscreen.

The triggers support a touch-sampling rate of up to 520Hz, which is designed to provide quick responses during gameplay. This can be helpful in competitive games where fast reactions matter.

The phone also includes a dedicated Game Space, where users can access gaming tools and adjust settings. Depending on the game and available options, these tools can help manage performance, notifications, screen settings, and other gaming features.

RGB lighting adds to the gaming look, while vibration feedback makes certain actions feel more realistic. The phone’s stereo speakers can also provide a more immersive audio experience.

These features make the device especially interesting for players who spend several hours gaming every day.

Camera Setup and Photography

Although gaming is the main focus, the RedMagic 11 Pro also includes a capable camera system for everyday photography.

 

50MP main camera

The main camera is designed to capture everyday photos with useful detail and colour. Optical image stabilisation helps reduce the effect of hand movement when taking pictures.

 

50MP ultra-wide camera

The ultra-wide camera is useful for group photos, landscapes, buildings, and other scenes where you want to capture more of the surroundings.

The rear camera setup also includes an auxiliary lens listed in the official specifications. The main and ultra-wide cameras provide flexibility for different types of photos.

For video recording, the published specifications list support for resolutions up to 8K at 30 frames per second, as well as 4K recording at selected frame rates. Available modes may depend on the camera settings and software version.

On the front, the phone has a 16MP under-display selfie camera. It keeps the display free from a traditional camera cut-out, although under-display cameras can produce less detailed selfies than some conventional front cameras.

The camera system should be suitable for social media posts, casual photography, video calls, and everyday use. However, people who mainly want the best possible photography may prefer a phone built around advanced camera hardware.

Battery Life and Charging

Battery life is another major advantage of the RedMagic 11 Pro. The model listed on the global website comes with a 7,500mAh battery, which is larger than the batteries found in many regular flagship smartphones.

A large battery can help the phone last longer during gaming, video playback, browsing, and other daily activities. Actual battery life depends on screen brightness, network strength, gaming settings, and how heavily the phone is used.

The device supports up to 80W wired fast charging and 80W wireless charging on supported versions. These charging options offer flexibility for users who want to recharge without spending too much time connected to a charger.

The phone also supports charging features designed to reduce battery stress during gaming. Users should check the exact charging options included with their regional version and whether the required adapter is supplied.

For Pakistani users who often play games, watch videos, or use mobile data throughout the day, the large battery can be particularly useful.

Software and Everyday Use

The RedMagic 11 Pro runs Android 16 with the RedMagic OS 11 interface, according to the published specifications. The software includes gaming-related tools alongside standard smartphone functions.

Users can install compatible Android applications, browse the internet, use social media, watch videos, and manage daily tasks. Its powerful hardware and large memory capacity should also support multitasking.

Google Gemini and selected AI features are advertised for the device, although availability may depend on the region, language, software version, and internet connection.

The interface is designed to give users quick access to gaming controls and performance settings. However, people who prefer a very simple smartphone interface may need some time to become familiar with its extra options.

Before buying an imported phone, it is also worth checking the software version, Google Play services, network compatibility, and update support for the exact model being sold.

Connectivity, Sound, and Security

The RedMagic 11 Pro offers modern connectivity features, including 5G support, Bluetooth 5.4, dual SIM support, and NFC. It also supports USB Type-C connectivity and DisplayPort output for compatible external displays.

Wi-Fi support is suitable for connecting to wireless networks, while dual GPS can help with location-based services. Actual 5G availability depends on local network coverage, supported frequency bands, and the phone’s approval status.

The phone includes stereo speakers for gaming, movies, and music. One useful feature is the 3.5mm headphone jack, which allows users to connect compatible wired gaming headsets without needing a separate adapter.

For security, the device offers an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and face recognition. Its listed IPX8 water-resistance rating means it has been tested for specific water-exposure conditions. However, users should not assume that this guarantees protection from dust or damage in every situation. Water resistance can also weaken over time.

Expected Launch Date and Availability in Pakistan

The RedMagic 11 Pro is already listed by Pakistani mobile retailers, with local listings showing availability and different prices. It was also announced for the Pakistani market in January 2026. Therefore, it should not be described as an entirely unreleased or upcoming phone.

Availability can still differ between cities and sellers. Before purchasing, buyers should confirm the exact RAM and storage version, PTA approval, warranty coverage, and whether the handset is new or imported without official local support.

Is the ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro Worth Buying?

The ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro is worth considering if gaming performance is your main priority. Its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 144Hz AMOLED display, dedicated shoulder triggers, and advanced cooling system make it a strong choice for demanding mobile games.

The large battery is another benefit, especially for users who spend long periods playing games or watching videos. Its high storage capacity and powerful hardware also make it suitable for multitasking and other demanding activities.

However, it may not be the best choice for everyone. The phone is expensive, relatively heavy, and more focused on performance than photography. Casual users who mainly use WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, and basic apps may not need all its gaming features.

For buyers in Pakistan, the price and after-sales support are important factors. Compare local offers and make sure the device is PTA-approved if you intend to use Pakistani SIM cards without restrictions.

Final verdict: The RedMagic 11 Pro is a premium gaming smartphone with powerful hardware, an advanced cooling system, a smooth display, and a large battery. It is best suited to serious mobile gamers who want gaming-focused features rather than a phone designed mainly for photography or everyday basic use.

Specifications are based on available model listings. Features may vary by market or software version.

Design and Build Quality

 

The ZTE nubia V60 Premier Edition has a modern design that gives it a more expensive look than many basic smartphones. Its glass front and glass back help create a stylish appearance, while the plastic frame keeps the overall design practical for everyday use.

The phone measures 164.2 × 75.3 × 8.6mm and weighs around 198 grams. These dimensions make it a fairly large smartphone, but its rounded edges help provide a comfortable grip.

The rear panel is one of its main design highlights. Its shiny finish gives the device a premium appearance, although fingerprints may still appear during regular use. Using a protective case can help keep the back clean and protect the phone from minor scratches.

ZTE offers the handset in Dark Blue, Champagne Gold, and Sunrise Violet. These colour choices give buyers a few options based on their personal taste.

Overall, the design is suitable for people who want a smartphone that looks modern without spending money on an expensive flagship device.

Display and Screen Quality

 

The phone features a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 × 1612 pixels. Its large screen provides enough space for watching videos, reading news, browsing websites, and using social media apps.

The display also supports a 90Hz refresh rate. In simple words, the screen can refresh more frequently than a standard 60Hz display. This can make scrolling through menus, switching between pages, and browsing social media feel smoother.

However, the screen has an HD+ resolution rather than Full HD+. Text and images should look clear enough for normal daily use, but users who prefer very sharp details may notice the difference when viewing high-quality videos or small text.

The IPS LCD panel is suitable for everyday entertainment and general smartphone use. Its actual brightness and outdoor visibility will depend on the lighting conditions and screen settings.

The front camera sits inside a small punch-hole cutout, giving the display a modern look. The large screen is useful for students, office workers, and people who spend several hours a day using their phones.

Performance and Processor

The ZTE nubia V60 Premier Edition is powered by the Unisoc T606 chipset. It is an entry-level processor designed for affordable smartphones and everyday tasks.

The processor has eight cores, including two Cortex-A75 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores, running at up to 1.6GHz. Graphics are handled by the Mali-G57 MP1 GPU.

In normal use, the phone should be suitable for activities such as:

Sending messages on WhatsApp

Browsing Facebook and Instagram

Watching YouTube videos.

Reading websites and online news.

Making video calls.

Using everyday office and study apps.

The handset can also run many popular mobile games, but demanding games may require lower graphics settings. Users should not expect the same gaming performance offered by more expensive smartphones with powerful processors.

For people who mainly need a phone for communication, entertainment, and everyday tasks, the Unisoc T606 provides a basic level of performance.

RAM and Storage

One of the main selling points of the ZTE nubia V60 Premier Edition is its memory configuration.

The smartphone comes with 8GB of physical RAM and 256GB of internal storage. This combination provides enough space for a large collection of applications, photos, videos, documents, and downloaded files.

The phone also supports up to 12GB of extended or virtual RAM. This feature uses part of the available internal storage to support memory management. It is different from physical RAM and does not provide the same performance benefits as adding actual RAM.

The 256GB storage capacity is useful for people who regularly record videos, download music, save pictures, or install multiple apps. It can also reduce the need to delete files frequently to free up space.

The device supports microSDXC memory cards, allowing users to expand storage further. Buyers should confirm the exact memory-card configuration with their seller because the available slot arrangement may differ between versions.

Overall, the memory and storage setup is a useful feature for people who want plenty of space without paying for a high-end smartphone.

Camera Features and Photography

 

 

The ZTE nubia V60 Premier Edition features a dual rear camera setup led by a 50MP main camera. The camera system is designed for everyday photography, including pictures of family events, food, outdoor scenes, and everyday moments.

The main camera supports features such as HDR and panorama. HDR can help balance bright and dark areas in certain scenes, while panorama mode allows users to capture wider views.

The phone can record videos at up to 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second. This is suitable for basic video recording and sharing clips on social media.

However, camera results depend on lighting, movement, and the scene being captured. Daylight photography generally gives a better chance of capturing clear images, while low-light photography may show more noise or less detail.

Front Camera

The smartphone has an 8MP front camera for selfies and video calls. It can be used for video meetings, online classes, and casual pictures with friends and family.

The front camera is suitable for basic photography, but users who want highly detailed selfies or advanced portrait effects may prefer a phone with a stronger front camera.

Overall, the camera system covers the main needs of an everyday smartphone user. It is best viewed as a basic photography setup rather than a professional camera replacement.

Battery Life and Charging

Battery performance is another important feature of the ZTE nubia V60 Premier Edition.

The handset includes a 5,000mAh non-removable battery, which is a common capacity in modern smartphones. It is designed to provide enough power for regular daily activities, including messaging, web browsing, calls, and video playback.

Users who mainly make calls, send messages, and check social media may be able to use the phone throughout the day without charging it repeatedly. However, battery life will depend on screen brightness, mobile signal strength, background apps, gaming, and video streaming.

The device supports 22.5W wired fast charging through its USB Type-C port. This helps reduce charging time compared with slower charging systems, although the exact time required to recharge the battery depends on several factors.

It is important not to assume that every user will get two full days of battery life. Heavy gaming, long video sessions, and continuous mobile data use can drain the battery more quickly.

For people who need a smartphone for work, study, and entertainment, the 5,000mAh battery offers a useful balance between capacity and everyday convenience.

Software and User Experience

The ZTE nubia V60 Premier Edition is listed with Android 13 and nubia’s software interface. The exact software experience may depend on the installed version and any updates provided for the device.

Android allows users to install popular applications, change many settings, manage notifications, and personalise the home screen.

The phone can support everyday apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps, and other compatible Android applications. Users should check application requirements before installing apps that need a newer Android version.

Software updates are important because they can bring security improvements, bug fixes, and new features. However, the long-term update schedule for this particular model should be confirmed with ZTE or an authorised seller rather than assumed.

People who plan to keep their phone for several years should consider software support when comparing it with other devices in the same price range.

Connectivity and Other Features

The ZTE nubia V60 Premier Edition supports dual Nano-SIM cards, making it convenient for users who want to keep personal and work numbers on one phone.

It supports 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE networks. It does not list 5G connectivity, so buyers looking for a 5G smartphone should consider another model.

Other connectivity and convenience features include:

Dual-band Wi-Fi for wireless internet access.

Bluetooth 5.2 for compatible wireless accessories.

GPS for navigation and location-based services.

USB Type-C 2.0 for charging and data transfer.

A 3.5mm headphone jack for compatible wired earphones.

FM radio support.

A side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

An accelerometer, compass, and proximity sensor.

The side-mounted fingerprint sensor makes it easier to unlock the device without entering a PIN every time. The headphone jack is also useful for people who prefer wired earphones.

NFC availability may vary by market, so buyers should confirm whether the feature is included in the exact version being sold in Pakistan.

Gaming Experience

The nubia V60 Premier Edition can handle casual games and some popular titles with suitable settings. Its 90Hz display may also make supported menus and compatible games appear smoother.

However, the Unisoc T606 is not a high-end gaming processor. Heavy games may experience slower performance, especially when running at high graphics settings or during long gaming sessions.

The phone is more suitable for casual players who enjoy simple games and occasional entertainment. People who regularly play demanding competitive games should consider a smartphone with a more powerful chipset and better graphics performance.

Is the ZTE nubia V60 Premier Edition Worth Buying?

The ZTE nubia V60 Premier Edition is worth considering if your main priorities are a stylish design, a large display, plenty of storage, and a battery suitable for everyday use.

Its 8GB physical RAM and 256GB storage provide a practical combination for people who install several apps and save a lot of files. The 50MP main camera, 90Hz display, and 22.5W charging support also add value for routine use.

However, there are some limitations. The HD+ screen is not as sharp as a Full HD+ panel, and the Unisoc T606 is better suited to basic tasks than demanding gaming. Buyers should also check the phone’s software support and compare its current price with competing models.

At the original launch offer of Rs. 29,999, it was positioned as an affordable smartphone with a premium appearance. At higher prices, its value depends on what other phones are available in the same budget.

Before buying, compare the final price, official warranty, PTA status, and available features with other options in the Pakistani market.

It may suit students, office workers, and general users who want a modern-looking device for calls, messaging, browsing, and entertainment.

itel S25 Ultra Full Review: Price, Specifications, Features, and Performance

The itel S25 Ultra is a budget-friendly smartphone designed for users who want a stylish phone with a modern look, a large AMOLED display, a good camera, and reliable battery life without spending too much money. The phone focuses on features that matter to everyday users, including social media, video streaming, photography, online classes, and daily communication.

In Pakistan, many people look for smartphones that offer good value for money. A phone needs to look attractive, provide a smooth user experience, and have enough battery power to last throughout the day. The itel S25 Ultra aims to meet these needs with its slim design, curved screen, and practical hardware.

The device is also an option for people who want a phone that looks more expensive than its actual price. Its modern screen design and premium appearance make it stand out in the entry-level smartphone market.

In this review, we will discuss the design, display, performance, camera, battery, software, storage, and other important features of the itel S25 Ultra. We will also explain who should consider buying this phone in Pakistan.

itel S25 Ultra Price in Pakistan

The itel S25 Ultra has been listed in Pakistan at a price of around Rs. 44,999 for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage version, although prices may vary between sellers and available variants. Before buying, customers should confirm the latest price, stock, and official warranty with a local retailer.

 

 

The itel S25 Ultra comes in Bromo Black, Meteor Titanium, and Komodo Ocean colour options.

The phone is aimed at buyers who want an attractive design and a quality display without paying the high price of a premium flagship device. Its curved AMOLED screen, 50MP rear camera, 32MP selfie camera, and 5,000mAh battery make it worth considering in its price range.

However, availability and prices can change over time. Some versions may also have different storage capacities, so buyers should check the exact model before placing an order.

Design and Build Quality

One of the biggest attractions of the itel S25 Ultra is its slim and modern design. The phone has a thickness of approximately 6.9mm and weighs around 163 grams. This makes it relatively light and comfortable to carry in a pocket or use for long periods.

The curved edges of the display give the device a premium appearance. Its screen extends towards the sides, creating a modern look that is often seen on more expensive smartphones.

The back panel also adds to the phone’s overall style. Buyers can choose from three colour options: Bromo Black, Meteor Titanium, and Komodo Ocean. Each colour gives the device a different appearance, allowing users to select one that matches their taste.

The slim body makes the phone easy to hold while browsing the internet, reading messages, or watching videos. Its lightweight design may also appeal to people who do not like carrying heavy smartphones.

The itel S25 Ultra includes Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for screen protection. It also has an IP64 rating for resistance to dust and water splashes. However, this does not mean the phone is waterproof, so users should avoid submerging it in water or exposing it to heavy water flow.

Overall, the design is one of the phone’s strongest features. It combines a slim body, curved display, and modern colours to create an attractive smartphone for everyday use.

Display Quality and Screen Experience

The itel S25 Ultra features a 6.78-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 × 2436 pixels. It also supports a 120Hz refresh rate, which helps make scrolling and screen movements look smoother.

The large display is useful for people who regularly watch YouTube videos, use Facebook, browse websites, read articles, or attend online classes. Its size also provides enough room for typing messages and viewing photos.

AMOLED technology is another important advantage. Compared with many basic LCD screens, an AMOLED panel can produce deeper black colours and strong contrast. This can make films, pictures, and other content look more attractive.

The Full HD+ resolution helps keep text and images clear. Users can comfortably read news, view social media posts, and watch videos without the screen looking too blurry during normal use.

Another useful feature is the 120Hz refresh rate. On supported apps and screens, it allows the display to refresh more frequently than a standard 60Hz screen. This can make scrolling through long pages and moving between menus feel smoother.

The screen can also reach a claimed peak brightness of up to 1,400 nits under supported conditions. This helps improve visibility in bright surroundings, although actual brightness depends on the content and usage conditions.

The curved screen adds to the phone’s premium look, but some users may prefer flat displays because they can be easier to protect with screen protectors and may reduce accidental touches along the edges.

For users who enjoy watching videos or want a stylish screen for everyday tasks, the itel S25 Ultra offers a strong display package for its price category.

Performance and Processor

The itel S25 Ultra is powered by the Unisoc T620 chipset, which uses an octa-core processor. It is designed to handle common smartphone tasks, including messaging, web browsing, social media, video playback, and everyday apps.

For regular users, this level of performance should be suitable for activities such as using WhatsApp, checking emails, watching videos, and switching between everyday applications. The phone is not built as a high-end gaming device, so buyers should keep their expectations realistic.

Light games and several popular mobile games may run well with suitable graphics settings. However, demanding games can require lower graphics quality to maintain a smoother experience. Performance can also change depending on the game, background apps, temperature, and software updates.

The phone’s virtual RAM feature is another part of its design. It can use a portion of the available storage to provide additional virtual memory when needed. The advertised configuration can reach 16GB in total, including 8GB of physical RAM and up to 8GB of extended RAM. This should not be confused with 16GB of physical RAM, as virtual memory does not offer the same speed as actual RAM.

For everyday multitasking, the combination of physical RAM and software memory management can help the phone handle regular tasks. Still, buyers who frequently use heavy games or professional editing apps should consider a device with a more powerful processor.

The itel S25 Ultra is best understood as a smartphone for general use rather than a phone designed specifically for demanding gaming or heavy professional work.

Storage Options and Multitasking

Storage is an important factor when choosing a smartphone, especially for people who take many photos, record videos, or download large apps.

The itel S25 Ultra is available in different storage configurations, including 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, depending on the market and variant. The phone’s advertised memory options also include extended RAM features.

The 128GB version may be enough for users who mainly use social media, messaging apps, and a limited number of games. However, people who download many videos, store large photo collections, or install several games may prefer the 256GB version.

The 512GB version offers more room for users who want to keep a large amount of content on their phones. Buyers should confirm which versions are officially available in Pakistan before purchasing.

It is also important to check whether the specific model supports a memory card, as this detail may vary between listings. Choosing sufficient built-in storage from the beginning can help avoid storage problems later.

Camera Features and Photography

The itel S25 Ultra comes with a 50MP main rear camera and a 32MP front camera. These cameras are designed for everyday photography, selfies, video calls, and social media content

The main camera is suitable for taking pictures of family gatherings, food, outdoor scenes, and everyday activities. In good lighting, it can capture detailed images with attractive colours.

The camera also offers several photography features, including night mode, portrait effects, HDR, panorama, filters, and AI scene recognition. These options allow users to adjust their pictures for different situations.

The night mode is intended to improve photos taken in low-light conditions. However, results will depend on the amount of available light, the camera settings, and how steady the phone is while taking the picture.

The phone also supports digital zoom up to 10x. Digital zoom enlarges the image rather than providing the same detail as a dedicated optical zoom camera, so picture quality may decrease at higher zoom levels.

For people who enjoy taking close-up pictures, the additional macro camera feature can help capture small objects. The phone also supports video recording at up to 2K resolution in supported modes.

Front Camera for Selfies

The 32MP front camera is one of the key features for users who frequently take selfies or make video calls.

It can be useful for family photos, online meetings, video chats, and short social media clips. AI-based beauty features are also available to help adjust the appearance of selfies.

As with the rear camera, lighting plays an important role. Pictures taken in good daylight will generally have a better chance of showing clear details than photos captured in dark surroundings.

Overall, the camera setup is suitable for casual photography. However, users looking for advanced zoom, professional video controls, or flagship-level night photography may need a more expensive device.

Battery Life and Charging

The itel S25 Ultra packs a 5,000mAh battery, which is a common capacity for modern Android smartphones. It also supports 18W wired charging through a USB Type-C connection.

For everyday use, the battery should be suitable for activities such as messaging, browsing, watching videos, and making calls. Actual battery life will depend on screen brightness, mobile signal strength, gaming, and the number of apps running in the background.

People who use their phones mainly for calls, messaging, and light browsing may get a full day of use, although results can vary. Heavy gaming, long video sessions, and extended use of mobile data can drain the battery more quickly.

The 18W charging support is useful for topping up the battery, but it is not as fast as the charging systems found on some more expensive smartphones. Buyers should keep this in mind if fast charging is a major priority.

The phone also supports bypass charging. This feature is designed to supply power directly to the phone during supported activities instead of sending all the power through the battery. It may help manage battery heat during gaming or video use while connected to a charger.

In general, the battery capacity is a practical choice for daily use, while the charging speed is more modest.

Software and User Experience

The itel S25 Ultra runs itel OS 14.5, based on Android. Its software provides access to common smartphone features and everyday applications.

Users can install compatible apps, manage notifications, change display settings, and customise parts of the phone’s interface. The software is designed to support routine activities such as messaging, browsing, online shopping, and entertainment.

The device also advertises support for an upgrade to Android 15. However, the availability and timing of software updates may depend on the region and the specific device. Buyers should confirm the current update policy rather than assume that every update is already installed.

The phone includes features such as an under-display fingerprint sensor, which allows users to unlock the device by placing a registered finger on the designated area of the screen. This gives the phone a cleaner appearance than a traditional fingerprint sensor mounted on the back.

Other useful features include an infrared remote control, allowing the phone to control compatible home appliances. The exact level of support depends on the appliance and its compatibility.

These features help make the itel S25 Ultra a practical device for people who want a modern Android experience without paying a premium price.

Connectivity and Additional Features

The itel S25 Ultra supports 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE mobile networks. It also includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a USB Type-C port. It does not offer 5G connectivity, so users who specifically want a 5G phone should consider other models.

Dual SIM support can be useful for people who want to keep their personal and work numbers on the same phone. It may also help users manage different mobile packages from Pakistani network operators.

The device features an RGB ring light on the back, which can provide visual effects for notifications and other supported activities. This gives the phone a distinctive appearance compared with many budget smartphones.

Its IP64 rating provides protection against dust and water splashes under specified testing conditions. However, it should not be treated as a fully waterproof phone.

The combination of everyday connectivity, dual SIM support, an infrared remote, and a fingerprint sensor makes the phone suitable for a wide range of normal tasks.
