  • Excellent battery life with 5,200 mAh
  • Headphone jack and microSD slot retained
  • Large 6.72-inch 120Hz display
  • Only two years of guaranteed Android updates

  • LCD panel lacks deep blacks and HDR support

SmartWorld IT

7.5/10Jun 19, 2025

A budget phone with a large smooth display, solid durability, a good main camera and long battery life. Not fast, but a strong pick at its price.

  • Good battery life, often lasting over a day and a half
  • Robust build with IP69 and MIL-STD-810H rating
  • eSIM support
  • Large 6.72-inch 120Hz display
  • Main camera gives sharp, detailed photos
  • Not particularly fast performance
  • Ultra-wide camera is disappointing
  • IPS screen rather than AMOLED
  • Budget-phone vibration motor feel

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
