What the reviewers said

PC-Welt DE

2.5/5Aug 29, 2025

A solid budget phone with long battery life and decent main camera, but weak chip and RAM hold it back. Suited to casual users, not gamers.

  • Very low price under 100 euros
  • Long battery life
  • Attractive, lightweight design at 186 g
  • Easy-to-use software with good update promise
  • 90 Hz display for the price
  • Weak Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 chip and 4 GB RAM
  • Stutters and slow app loading
  • Dim display, hard to read in sunlight
  • Limited camera, weak at night, 1080p video only
  • No charger included

A very cheap budget Android with decent battery life and simple looks, but slow performance and a weak camera limit it to casual users.

  • Very low price, especially on discount
  • User-friendly ColorOS software with light bloatware
  • Good battery life
  • Simple, tasteful design with light 186g weight
  • Headphone jack and microSD slot included
  • Slow, stuttering performance due to weak chip and 4GB RAM
  • Limited camera, weak in low light
  • Dim 1000-nit LCD screen
  • No charger included
  • Only IP54 rating and no Gorilla Glass

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.
