Saba Qamar has been in the spotlight for quite a few weeks now after the announcement that she is getting married this year. The actress was in the public’s eyes once again, however, for calling the wedding off. The decision was supported by the fellow actors Mahira Khan, Yumna Zaidi, Yasir Hussain, and Ayesha Omar. Along that time was her 37th birthday as well, which the actress celebrated at a private star-studded party.

Saba’s birthday event was an intimate affair, as seen in the pictures. The actress mentioned that the party was a surprise and did not know about it beforehand. Some of the famous names in the media industry attended the birthday party. From flower arrangements to a three-layered fondant cake, everything was on point. The event was organized by the poolside. The Baghi actress adorned a bright blue dress that looked nothing less than beautiful.

The media Backlash 

After the birthday, the actress receives a lot of backlash from the public, particularly on her dress. The pictures of her wearing a blue off-shoulder dress went viral online after the event. The netizens were quick to judge and shame her on her choice of clothing.

Azeem Khan Enjoying Saba Qamar’s Latest Song ‘Chingariyan’

Saba Qamar

[Update]: Given the recent events, anything and everything Saba Qamar and Azeem Khan do makes us reevaluate their relationship status.

And considering there are speculations that they haven’t broken up and are just faking it, these reevaluations make more sense. Moreover, even if they have broken up, it is clear that Azeem is trying to portray himself as the ‘nice’ guy who takes the blame and someone who is still in love.

I mean why else would he listen to Saba’s song. And even if he is, there is no point in posting it on his stories or giving justification that ‘OMG it popped up on its own.”

We are not kids, Mr. Axeem!

 



[April 4, 2021]: We have covered how Saba Qamar announced that she was dating the influencer, Azeem Khan. And we also covered how the backlash due to Azeem Khan’s past led to Saba Qamar announcing she wasn’t going to marry him anymore. But what if we were to make surprising speculation?

Some people have said that this relationship was a publicity stunt. This is something we would not expect from a name that doesn’t need such tactics. So we refuse to believe this speculation even though we know that April 5 is an important date for Saba.

However, what if she really was dating Azeem but seeing the backlash and the fact she had a project release date coming up, she faked a breakup? Why do we say that?

Because the two are posting similar stories and we cannot help but imagine that they are still together.

Saba Qamar

Azeem Khan

Not to mention that Saba Qamar did not say anything about breaking up. she only said, “They are not getting married right now.” What if they already got married or maybe the wedding date got postponed? You never know.



[April 2, 2021]: Always a fan of Saba Qamar, her decisions, her works, and having followed her dramas from when she would come on PTV, I have always admired her. Some time ago, however, news came up that said Saba was dating Azeem Khan and they were to get married. We had to track down who Azeem Khan is and well, we were disappointed but, it’s her life.

Saba Qamar calls it off

However, Saba Qamar took to her Instagram today, on April second, saying that she was definitely connected with Azeem Khan over the phone and had never met him personally. Most importantly, they will not be getting married. We are happy with her decision.

Saba, we support you!

Azeem Khan adds his bit

Azeem Khan also took to Instagram giving the update to his followers who had drastically increased in a few days following the Saba Qamar news. He said that Saba had not given his side of the story but he did say that it was his fault. He added a peace sign as well ✌️.

After the story, Azeem Khan has shared a post as well where he wished Saba all the best.



[March 25th, 2021]: Saba Qamar has been doing quite a lot of amazing work. Her dramas and modeling, everything has been top-notch. But there was one thing her fans didn’t know. Who she is dating if she is dating?

Saba Qamar is dating

Saba Qamar

It turns out that she has accidentally revealed that. She posted an Instagram story where she has her hand hanging out the car window. And on her wrist is a bracelet.

During the time she posted this, a blogger she follows, Azeem Khan also posted a story. In that story, he posted a picture where he is wearing a bracelet that resembles the one Saba is wearing. He adds the caption, “I have lost this bracelet. Help me find it. I had it for almost 9 years.”

Following that, we get to see another story by Saba where she gives a close-up look at the bracelet. In that, one can see the initials A.K on the bracelet. She captions it, “Is that your bracelet? Oops.”

So are they dating, Saba Qamar and Azeem Khan, and was it their way of revealing their relationship status? Or is it that they are preparing for some project together and this is a promotion stunt for that project?

Past posts of Saba

Recently, she had been posting pictures on Instagram with leading captions. The pictures are so cool and the caption read, ‘Your love makes me happy.’

She posted another picture and the caption for this one says:

‘If it’s meant to be, it will be. 🤍’

Maybe our beloved celebrity is finally ready for a committed relationship.

Iffat Omar Apologizes After Receiving Major Backlash

[Update]: After being called out for jumping queue and taking the vaccine before the turn, Iffat Omar had tried to evade the blame by saying it was a trial vaccine. But she was schooled excessively on Twitter after which she had deleted the tweet.

And now, she has apologized to the public by taking it to Twitter acknowledging that she did wrong and that she will repent.

Iffat Omar:

“I am sorry. I am ashamed. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I will repent.”

It is commendable that she accepted her mistake and publicly asked for forgiveness when influential people do not really like to own their wrongdoings.



[March 30, 2021]: Covid has been a curse to almost everyone globally. So when the vaccine finally got introduced, everyone wanted to get their hands on it as soon as possible. But considering there are more than 7 billion people on earth, it will take time to reach the entire population. Hence, there are phases in terms of priorities according to which people would get the vaccine. Iffat Omar, it seems, has jumped the queue and gotten her vaccine

Process of getting the vaccine

When everyone should be getting the vaccine, what does ‘jumping queue’ means? Well, here is the thing. First and foremost, the healthcare workers were to get the dose because, in this war, they were the avant-garde, and the sixty-five years old and above would also get the vaccine. After that, the age 60 plus senior citizens were in line. The vaccination drive was to begin on March 10th. After that, it was the turn for 50 plus, but the registration for them was even to start today.

A video was published on Twitter where a Federal Minister and his family, along with Iffat Omar, were at the minister’s house, and they were getting the covid vaccine. Here is a screengrab from it!

Netizens angry at Iffat Omar

Seeing this video, the netizens were super pissed. The entire group jumped the queue when there was a proper system for people to get the vaccine, but they were exercising even more privilege by getting the vaccine delivered at home.

Someone even made the Samina Peerzada meme on this:

The accused people tried defending themselves by saying that they were getting a trial vaccine.

Iffat Omar’s tweet regarding this defense went somewhat like this:

“I would like to clarify this was a booster shot of a Cansino (trial) vaccine received from UHS, who also provided the previous shot. It’s not illegal or privilege.”

The original video was this:

Interestingly, Iffat Omar deleted that tweet.

Global Warming is the issue of this century that needs our attention. Climate all over the world has gotten a drastic shift because of global warming. Switching to sustainable options is the need of time to reduce the waste which ends up in order oceans. The companies are now making an effort to eliminate unrecyclable material. Materials like plastic and a lot of clothing, textile, and contaminated waste can not be recycled hence ending up in landfills.

This Firm In Dubai Turns Plastic Bottles Into T-shirts & Masks
Image source: https://www.polyestertime.com/

Recently, the same venture is started by a company named DGrade in Dubai in hopes of reducing and recycling plastic. The plastic is recycled to create a recycled polyester fiber which can be used to create clothing and accessories. The clothing and accessories will also be 100 percent recyclable. The motto of the brand is to provide sustainability for environment-friendly choices. As well as to increase the job opportunities for the masses.

Partnerships of the company

The best part about the company is that it has partnerships with three different countries. These include India, Pakistan, and China to produce high-quality fabric from plastic. Not only that, but the company has also made good use of plastic bottles to create walls inside their office which not only provides a sustainable option but also aesthetically pleasing offices.

The CEO of the Startup

Barber has been working with PET technology since 2009. The textile industry veteran developed the idea in the UK, where he first created shopping bags made from recycled plastic bottles.

“We realize that the PET plastic in the bottles is actually polyester, which is already created in a conventional way using oil. So, if we could process it and spin it back into yarn, we could produce polyester without oil.” Barber said in an earlier interview for Gulf News.

“By recycling their plastic into clothing, we support organizations in closing the loop and sourcing sustainably,” Barber says. “Right now, our operation focuses on UAE as our core mission is to find a solution for local plastic waste.”

5 Speculations Pakistanis Made About Saba Qamar’s Breakup

azeem khan
Image Source: Brandsynario

Saba Qamar’s breakup has taken up quite a huge space in the entertainment news. For the past two weeks, it was rumored that she was in a relationship. But then almost suddenly they broke up.

Saba Qamar’s breakup scandal

When Saba said ‘qubool hai’ to Azeem Khan in comments and when Saba hinted that she has Azeem’s bracelet, people were forced to ask if they were dating. What started as a mere reply to a probably fun comment turned into a full-fledged romantic relationship. Saba confirmed it when a major publication approached her saying she will marry him. But two three days before her music video was to release, she announced on social media that the wedding was off.

Since then, there have been major speculations about what this was. So here we have listed down some of those speculations.

1. Publicity stunt

One speculation was that this was a publicity stunt by Saba. Do we really think that someone who has millions of followers, and someone who played the Qandeel character would stoop to such a tactic out of the blue? No.

2. Making Axeem more famous

Another speculation that emerged was that this fiasco happened to make Azeem more famous. This actually seems possible. Earlier, the man had slightly above 42 thousand followers. But now that Saba’s name gave him the exposure, his following has increased to more than 70 thousand. But why would Saba agree to this?

3. Fake Breakup 

The best one yet is that this is a fake breakup. Because of the huge backlash against Saba she was pushed to fake it. And because Saba had a project release coming up which could have hindered her reach, they faked a breakup to regain the lost fans.

4. Upcoming song – Chingariyan

Could this be a promotion tactic for the upcoming song?

So see Saba does not need publicity stunts for herself but when she had a project with Bilal Saeed named ‘Qubool Hai’ she did write qubool hai in comments on his post. So just like that, maybe for this upcoming project, she was going to do something similar but it blew out of proportion and they just couldn’t backtrack from it.

5. Could be a bet?

Or or or, could this be a bet?

I mean, we have seen from Azeem Khan’s insta posts that he is a meninist. And we have also heard Saba’s view; remember how Azeem responded to Saba’s video and even called her ‘Saba Baji’? So they must have made a bet. We do not know what they betted on but this could be a bet where they wanted to see how the public would react. If it is then I hope Saba won.

Bet or not, stunt or not, I just hope this wasn’t a fake breakup.

Azeem Khan’s Questionable ‘Response’ Video Is Making People Furious

Azeem Khan has found himself in the midst of another controversy: is it legitimate or just another claim to fame?

Break Up With Saba Qamar

The man who became popular after news got out that he was going to be the husband of Saba Qamar soon lost that title. In only a few days, the couple broke the news that they are not getting married after all.

A post shared by Azeem Khan (@axeemkhan)

Azeem Khan since then has been playing the trope of the ashiq who admits his fault and will forever be in love. However, what has he found himself in now?

The ‘Private Group’ Controversy

Some allegations of harassment came against Azeem Khan. News has it that several women collectively accused Azeem Khan of harassing them and then this rumour took to the wind. Considering he had recently been associated with none other than Qamar, these rumours were even more controversial.

How Does He Address Them?

Like anyone else, he chose to address the rumours and clear his image. However, in doing so he has made the matters worse for himself as many are saying!

A post shared by Azeem Khan (@axeemkhan)

Azeem Khan poses himself as the saviour for Pakistan and its morality by “exposing” private groups where immorality is at its peak. He spoke at length about several groups where profiles of men were shared without their consent and discussed. His argument essentially focused on how ‘wrong’ this act was and why it must be exposed. However, why was he a part of such groups anyway? He does not address that.

“Soul Bitches”

Soul Bitches is a very famous group in Pakistan on Facebook. It has over 32 thousand group members and has been contended to be a “liberal, safe space” for people from all groups.

azeem khan response
Image Source: Facebook

Azeem Khan essentially highlights some “rules” of the group: they do not admit you if you do not support homosexuality etc. Moreover, if you do support religious scholars, you will not be admitted. To highlight these rules as strange would perhaps not be valid considering, this is a specific place for a specific kind of people. If you do not agree, why join?

Then he continued to talk about some kinds of posts in the group which could be “paid” and are used to deter the youth. However, what makes him so sure these are paid and not the reality of Pakistan?

Failed Attempt

His attempt to be the righteous hero in Pakistan have somewhat failed considering the loopholes in his arguments. Moreover, people are accusing him of being the embodiment of “not all men” which is as bad as it gets.

Nadia Hussain Shares Why She Borrowed Money For Her Wedding Dress

Nadia Hussain
Image Source: Instagram

Nadia Hussain is someone who has proved that you don’t just have to be an actress. She is a dentist, has her own makeup line, operates a beauty salon, and even owns a footwear line. Isn’t that all so cool?

She shared her account of how she acquired her wedding dress seventeen years ago.

So the story goes somewhat like this:

Nadia Hussain was invited to Nida Yasir’s famous morning show. On that show, Nadia shared how she fell in love with her wedding dress. It was a dress by an Indian designer Anamika Khanna who was in Pakistan for a fashion show. Nadia was a part of it. It was the time when Nadia was also planning her wedding. She saw the dress and just knew that this was it. But Anamika was flying the next day and the amount required for the payment was higher than what Nadia could withdraw from an ATM.

To make sure they got their hands on the dress, Nadia and her husband borrowed money from everyone they knew who could give them a loan. And at 4 am, knocked at Anamika’s residence. The dress was bought.

Even though we personally do not think the dress was worth it but if she was happy on her big day, then that’s all that matters.

Have a look at Nadia Hussain sharing the story

But is that the right way?

When you are someone that dynamic and someone who can afford it, you can totally go and get designer wear for your wedding. But given that the designer wear costs an arm and a leg, it’s very irresponsible to talk about the extent you have gone to buy it. And it’s even more irresponsible when you know that Pakistanis go beyond their affordability limit just to prove to society that they can throw lavish events.

KARACHI: Celebrating the untiring efforts of organizations that enable Karachi to function all year round and give it its signature ethos, Pakistan’s largest private electric supply company, K-Electric (KE) announced 34 winners across 13 different categories at the first edition of the KHI Awards.

Proton Reveals The Price Of Its Sedan ‘Saga’

Image Source: Pak Wheels

With so many new automobile brands entering Pakistan, it has become a gold rush of sorts. Everyone wants to get ahead of the other and no one wants to lag behind when the bubble pops. Similarly, the brand ‘Proton’ has been up to quite a lot recently. Their Proton X70 turned out to be one of the best SUVs out there.

Now, Proton has decided to reveal the location of yet another one of its vehicles. It the Proton ‘Saga’ and it sounds like something straight out of a movie. It is expected to have some robust features and immense power underneath the hood.

Proton Saga Price revealed

Proton Emerging:

Among the many car brands in Pakistan today, Proton is one of them. It is not a brand one might have heard of a lot. It started off as a quiet one in Pakistan and has now risen among the brand new ones. Their SUV has seen such an amount of praise and success that it is no wonder the brand was going to release another one.

Now, we have another vehicle by them, that is soon to hit the market. It has quite a lot of potential and it has some features that puts it above the rest of them. The Proton ‘Saga’ is a sedan worthy of a glance and its price has just been revealed too. It is quite an interesting number and one that many people can get behind.

Saga Price Reveal:

The vehicle, being a 1300cc vehicle, is one powerful vehicle. It is not only a good sedan but it is also made to last for a long while. The standard automatic and premium automatic come fixed with a 4 speed CVT transmission. The seating in the vehicle is so comfortable that you don’t have to worry about back pains. You can just sit back and go on long road trips. Even the fuel average on the vehicle is good.

The current price of the vehicle is set to be between 19-23 Lac. This is quite a feasible price, considering Sedans are sold for more than 30 lac these days. This price is not only expected to attract a giant crowd but also give the Changan Alsvin a hard competition. It seems there is more than one player on the board now.

Sedans Going Cheaper:

This news tells us that the automotive industry of Pakistan is not set to slow down any time soon. While electric may be a bit far from appearing in the country, there is quite a lot to see for Pakistan. We hope that Proton continues to rise high through the ranks and releases more and more vehicles in Pakistan.

We will try our best to keep you updated on how Proton Saga develops. If we look at just the brand itself, a lot of potential lies within it. Despite the pandemic hitting, the brand has managed to make its presence known in the country.

Traditional Truck Art Corolla Goes Viral

There can be a lot of things in Pakistan to be proud of. While we may not be the most perfect, we have certain aspects that make us stand out. Our music industry is one of the highest rising ones in the world of today. Similarly, we are quite experienced and trained in artistic visuals. It seems that a Corolla, full of truck art, has been recently spotted!

This is definitely one that is going to be for the books. If you have heard of truck art, you might have seen it in a lot of places too. There is no doubt that Pakistan has a lot of prideful features that are worth mentioning.

Our northern areas are some of the most beautiful ones the naked eye has ever seen. You cannot find the beauty of Kashmir in any other part of the world. Apart from that, we also hold mountainous regions and lakes with eye catching capabilities.

Traditional Art:

If we go from one province to another, we can see quite a lot of changes occurring. Pakistan has one of the most diverse cultures in the world. Due to the different provinces, each with their own history, there is a lot to see in Pakistan. If we talk about Sindh, there are dishes, clothing and food items specific to the people here.  Just like that, Punjab has its own pride to look after. This culture dates back many years, when the literature artists in the region were still finding their footing.

One type of such cultural prides, is traditional art. It comprises of unique and beautiful designs that are sure to light up a smile on your face. The people are so talented that the art can often be seen on trucks and buses. Driving a local bus without art just seems dry now. There have to be some form of patterns or paintings on the vehicle. Due to this, the art has gained the name of ‘Traditional Truck Art’. However, it seems that a Corolla has joined a region where only trucks and buses resided previously.

Corolla Radiating Culture:

The pictures of a new vehicle design have gone viral on the internet. It is circulating through the sites so fast, we can barely keep up. It seems that an individual has dressed up a Corolla with traditional truck art. The vehicle itself looks entirely laced with the art, from head to toe. Everyone, who is a fan of culture, is just going absolutely crazy over the beauty of the vehicle.

While there are people who are talking about how impractical it is, we must remember that is a temporary piece of art. No one is going to be speeding on the highway with so many obstructions in the view and weighing down on the car.

We must, once again, pat a hand on the shoulder of the ingenious people of Pakistan. This is a creation that deserves to be recognized. After all, the music and art of Pakistan is one of the highest ones in the world!

According to the list of valuable brands released by Brand Finance, it is clear that this happened considering almost half of the brands in the list witnessed a decline in brand value. Moreover, the most valuable fast food brands list that has 25 restaurants on it saw a total decrease of $8.2 billion (from US$162.1 billion in 2020 to US$153.9 billion in 2021).

Richard Haigh, Managing Director, Brand Finance said:

“The restaurant sector has shown remarkable adaptability in the face of unforeseen and challenging circumstances brought about by COVID-19. The efforts to refocus on at-home dining and the investment in digital presence have inured many of the biggest brands from far more dire consequences. The pace of vaccine distribution – particularly across the US and the UK – means there are signs of hope yet for the restaurant sector, with many customers eager to return to socialising and dining together.”

We have assembled a list of 10 of the most valuable global fast-food brands for you.

1. Starbucks

Valued at USD 38.44 billion in 2021, Starbucks remains the most valuable brand in the category fast food the fifth time without break. Its amazing to see this even though the value has dropped 6%; last year the brand value was USD 41.04 billion.

Pakistan’s First Map-Based Property Search Tool ‘Plot Finder’ Now Features Over 2 Million Properties

We live in a data-driven world, where the digital landscape is evolving every second. To become a global power amidst this digital revolution, it is imperative to master the realm of data-sciences, where the phenomenon of decision-making is powered by analytical information.

When it comes to holding an impressive global ranking in terms of data-driven solutions, Pakistan still has a long journey to cover. Our country’s real estate sector, which is also its biggest investment avenue, had been majorly affected by this technological gap. Unfortunately, to date, the organizational culture of our real estate sector still relies on the age-old methods, which are mostly based on dusty old documentation and worn-out paper maps.

It may appear a thing of science fiction to you, but the world has now devised different ways of using satellite imagery and other advanced mapping solutions with the help of which you can virtually survey the entire location of a particular neighborhood, right from the comfort of your home.

Started in 2006 as a one-room startup and now serving as an industry leader, Zameen.com is revolutionising every aspect of property hunting in Pakistan with its data-driven solutions. It has introduced many innovative technologies to facilitate the property sector nationwide, acting as a catalyst for its digitalization over the years.

Zameen.com understands that ‘location’ holds key importance in terms of property sale. The entire process turns out to be extremely time-consuming and exhausting for the real estate dealers as property buyers and renters are required to physically visit the location frequently. So, to make things simpler and more hassle-free, the company has created a tool called ‘Plot Finder’.

It is based on a highly-advanced technology that seamlessly fuses real estate data with interactive mapping solutions. Ever since its launch last year, Plot Finder is playing a very important role in terms of the digitization of the property landscape. The tool has mapped out all property types found in different major cities across Pakistan.

Plot Finder by Zameen.com: A Technological Breakthrough for the Real Estate Market

Plot Finder has been developed by the think-tank of Zameen.com’s Research and Development (R&D) department. The biggest plus point about Plot Finder is that it is a free-of-cost tool. With the addition of housing societies and properties on a regular basis, the database of this innovative tool is getting bigger and bigger day by day. For the very first time in the history of the national real estate sector, virtual mapping solutions provided by Plot Finder are simplifying the concept of property search in Pakistan. Plot Finder not only focuses on localities on the whole but also individual properties so it is easier for people to virtually navigate through the available real estate options.

According to a recent announcement made by Zameen.com, the database of Plot Finder (Pakistan’s first-ever map-based property search tool) now has more than two million properties. It provides fruitful assistance to real estate developers, buyers, and investors in terms of property hunting. The users of this digital feature now have access to detailed maps of over 1,500 projects, 5,000 housing societies, 50,000 public places, 150,000 commercial properties, and 2,000,000 residential properties. Well, that’s not it. The developers of this tool have set eyes to map out every house, plot, apartment, shop, and other types of properties, aiming to put a myriad of information in the palm of the users.

How Zameen.com’s Plot Finder Is Progressing to Benefit the Masses

Just after a year of its launch, Plot Finder has expanded its reach to 43 cities. It is providing highly accurate and updated digital society maps that are used by property buyers, sellers, agents, and the general public to search and locate properties. It has a real-time layout that helps users take a closer look at the location of the place that interests them. It now covers more than 80% of the property landscape in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. This revolutionary tool comes with cross-platform support. It works flawlessly on different types of devices including tablets, mobiles, and desktops. It is supported by both Android and iOS devices and functions through the Zameen Mobile App.

After the launch of this innovative tool, our dependency on physical society maps has been evidently reduced. Now you can digitally access all attributes of plots: numbers, types, sizes, distances, etc. Using the latest satellite imagery technology, Plot Finder also allows you to visualize the properties and their surroundings.

The ‘collection’ feature of Plot Finder turns out to be extremely helpful for realtors. It is where they can store all their favourite properties, which they can access instantly at the time of sales pitches. Best of all, they can share the location and map of a particular property on social media channels like WhatsApp and Facebook with their clients through a simple click

An Unprecedented but Very Surprising and Welcoming Turn of Events

As discussed, Plot Finder has been designed to help out property enthusiasts However, in addition to that, tech researchers have recently discovered that this cutting-edge mapping tool by Zameen.com is also surprisingly being used by employees of food deliveries, commuting apps, and people belonging to different walks of life for navigational purposes. According to riders and drivers serving in different organisations, Plot Finder helps users reach their destinations by providing them with exact addresses. The user experience of this tool is even better than Google Map due to the increased locational relevancy.

It has been a thrilling discovery for the technical team that is maintaining and enhancing this mapping tool. Plot Finder is on its road to becoming the everyday guide for the people of Pakistan, fulfilling their varying navigational needs. The overwhelming success of the project is fueling the enthusiasm of its creators, who are now determined to make this tool more efficient, accurate, and easier-to-use. Witnessing unstoppable growth and groundbreaking advancements, Plot Finder will continue to play a prominent role in terms of uplifting the scope of technological influence in Pakistan’s real estate industry in years to come.

Image Source: Brandsynario

So many new phone brands have entered the market; sometimes it’s difficult to tell them apart. While the titans of the industry are few, there are many that are attempting to rise as the greatest ones. Where we hear about Samsung and Apple, we also hear about Oppo, vivo, and Xiaomi. In such news, we have a smartphone with us today. It is the vivo X60 Pro. What we have to see is whether it is worth the buy or not.

It all depends a lot on the user’s preference too. A person may not be a fan of android phones and may be drawn to the aura that is IOS. However, vivo has been known to release some impressive phones over the years. They have a wide variety of them and neither of them seems to lag a lot in quality. It seems that the vivo X60 Pro is a smartphone with flagship capabilities. Being a flagship also brings, with it, certain degrees of responsibilities and standards. If the phone can’t hold its own in battle, what good is it?

The Specifications:

Firstly, if we look at the design itself, there may be a couple of things to note on the phone. It has a sleek body, weighing in at 191 grams. That is a slightly heavy phone but considering what it holds, the weight can be justified. The phone has dual sim capabilities so if you have an office sim, you don’t have to worry about a second phone.

vivo X60 Pro Samsung S21 Ultra

However, the phone specifications do not mention that it’s either dust or water resistant. On the other hand, it seems that the Samsung S21 ultra is both, with stylus support as well!

When it comes to the chipset, the phone features the powerful snapdragon 888. It is the latest in a long line of robust processors and must not be trifled with. It has variants of storage, with the highest being 256GB internal, with 12GB Ram. If we look at the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra the highest variant is of 512GB storage and 16GB ram. If the price brackets are not too far off, wouldn’t we want to go for the highest possible variant?

Additional Details On vivo:

The vivo X60 Pro features a 50mp wide camera with additional arrays for telephoto and ultrawide. The latter two are set at 32mp and 48mp. As far as we have seen at cameras in flagship phones, Samsung S21 ultra seems to be rising to the top. With its 108mp wide camera, no phone seems to come close to it. Only iPhone 12 Pro max is able to give it a run for its money.

Now let us see a Samsung S21 Ultra result,

The battery power on the phone is set at 4200mah. This can easily last the phone for a day and a half on a lot of usage. On maximum usage, it can even go down to a day. While this is quite impressive, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has a battery life of 5000mah. Here you might not have to worry about your battery running our on a two day photography trip!

The Verdict:

Now, if one does intend to go for a flagship phone, would they not want the absolute latest tech embedded inside? It seems that both vivo x60 Pro and Samsung S21 Ultra are hefty investments. However, which is the longer time investment boils down to the user itself. We feel that there is still room for more technology embedding in the new vivo X60 Pro.

It must be noted that, while the Vivo x60 Pro is available at a price of Rs.1 Lac 30 Thousand. On the other hand, the Samsung S21 Ultra Price is about Rs.2 Lac 30 Thousand.
