Have you noticed a smartphone trend for the past few years? Almost every smartphone series today has a Pro or Ultimate variant. The version that packs the best of the manufacturer’s ability in a particular smartphone series. Smartphones come in several categories. Take the Apple iPhone, for example. There is the standard version, and then there are the Pro and Pro Max with top-tier functionality. Samsung and other Android manufacturers follow a similar strategy with creative names like Pro, Plus and Ultimate. This trend is relatively popular among appliances, automobiles, and now, smartphones. What is happening with the smartphones that carry the name Pro, Bro? We took some top-tier Pro versions from popular brands and tested these phones on several parameters to answer a simple question: what makes the Pro phones worth the question - Should you get a Pro, Bro?
Most of these phones do not need an introduction. Take the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max as an example; almost everyone knows it lost its Type-C virginity last year. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a mouthful name but stands out as one of the most unique candy bar designs with a removable S-Pen. Vivo X100 Pro is arguably one of the most fantastic sets of cameras in the Android smartphone universe. Google Pixel 8 Pro is one of the smartest phones on earth. Then there is a surprise budget-friendly addition - a phone that truly surprised us with its performance considering its price and proudly wears the pro moniker - Poco X6 Pro.
DESIGN - CANDY BARS ARE PRO BONO
