What the reviewers said

PC-Welt DE

3/5Aug 26, 2025

A budget phone with a huge battery and robust build, but its low-resolution LCD and weak camera hold it back. Good value at 179 euros for buyers prioritizing endurance.

  • Huge 6000 mAh battery with very long runtime
  • IP65 dust/water resistance and MIL-STD 810H rating
  • Solid build quality with metal frame
  • Priced below key rivals like Galaxy A16 5G
  • 128GB storage with microSD slot
  • Low 720p LCD display looks soft and blurry
  • Main camera limited; noisy when zoomed, poor night mode
  • No ultrawide or telephoto camera
  • Weak gaming performance; benchmarks trail rivals
  • Wide bezels and chin; no charger in box

Tech Advisor UK

3/5Aug 7, 2025

A long-lasting, sturdy budget 5G phone undermined by a low-resolution LCD, weak camera and limited performance; rivals are better overall.

  • Exceptional battery life, around 19 hours in PCMark test
  • IP65 dust and water resistance plus MIL-STD 810H shock rating
  • Cheaper than key budget rivals at £179
  • Solid build with frosted, fingerprint-resistant back
  • 720p LCD display looks soft and washed out
  • Camera struggles with highlights and low light
  • No ultrawide or telephoto camera
  • Modest 4GB RAM and Dimensity 6300 performance
  • Mono speaker and large bezels feel cheap

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.
