The ZuPick verdict

2.3out of 5

SkipBest at display, weakest at value.

This phone handles essential communication and offers a large screen with dependable battery capacity. However, its performance, cameras, charging speed and high price make it difficult to recommend over stronger options under ₹10,000.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.

Performance2.7

It scores about 154,000 on AnTuTu, which suits calls, messaging and light apps rather than demanding work. The 4 GB RAM can manage everyday use, but heavier games and frequent app switching may feel sluggish.

Camera2.0

The 13 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera are basic choices for daylight snapshots and video calls. The f/2.2 rear lens will struggle indoors, while 1080p recording at 30 frames per second is adequate for simple clips.

Display2.7

The large 6.75-inch LCD and 90 Hz refresh rate provide comfortable viewing and fairly smooth scrolling. The 720x1600 screen is fine for video and reading, though text is less crisp than sharper screens.

Battery2.1

The 5000 mAh battery is dependable for a normal day, but 10W charging is slow and requires longer waits at the charger.

Value1.7

At ₹9,999, the phone is expensive for its modest speed, basic cameras and slow charging. The large screen and practical extras do not fully offset those weaknesses.

Pros & cons

What’s good

Large Smooth Screen

The 6.75-inch display gives videos, messages and menus plenty of room. Its 90 Hz refresh rate also makes everyday scrolling look reasonably smooth.

Dependable Battery Capacity

The 5000 mAh battery should comfortably handle a full day of calls, messaging and light app use. This is a practical capacity for daily use.

Useful Everyday Extras

A side fingerprint reader, USB Type-C port and 3.5 mm headphone jack make the phone convenient. Storage can also be expanded by up to 256 GB for more photos and videos.

What’s not

Poor Value At Price

At ₹9,999, the phone offers modest performance, a basic camera and slow charging. Other phones under ₹10,000 can provide a stronger mix for the money.

Slow 10W Charging

The 5000 mAh battery takes a long time to refill with 10W charging. Short charging breaks will add relatively little power.

Weak Camera Hardware

The 13 MP rear camera is suited mainly to simple daylight photos. Indoor shots will look softer, while the 5 MP front camera offers limited selfie detail.

Limited App Performance

Its 4 GB RAM is enough for calls, messaging and light apps, but heavier apps and games may stutter. Switching between several apps can also feel slow.
