Reviewers agree · 4 reviews
Suits buyers wanting a large, bright 120Hz screen, long battery life and fast charging on a budget. Trade-offs are average cameras, cluttered software, and no wireless charging or microSD; the phone is also heavy.

Suits buyers who want huge battery life, fast charging and strong gaming performance on a budget, and who accept weaker cameras and bloatware-heavy software. Note the 218g weight and lack of a telephoto lens.
