The ZuPick verdict

2.0out of 5
SkipBest at display, weakest at performance.

This phone covers the basics and adds a few useful features like a 90Hz display, fingerprint sensor, and splash resistance. But its 4G-only connectivity, weak performance, slow charging, and basic cameras make it hard to recommend at this price.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance1.4
It scores about 154,000 on AnTuTu, which is very low for this price. Basic apps and communication are manageable, but gaming, multitasking, and heavier apps will feel sluggish.
Camera1.7
The 13 MP main camera and 5 MP selfie camera are entry-level. Daylight shots are usable for casual sharing, but detail, low-light results, and video quality are limited.
Display3.0
The 6.75-inch LCD with 90Hz refresh rate feels smoother than a standard 60Hz screen, but the 720x1600 resolution is a clear step down from sharper Full HD options. It is fine for casual viewing, not especially crisp.
Battery2.0
The 5000 mAh battery is enough for a full day of regular use, which is expected at this price. Charging at 10W is slow, so topping up takes longer than many alternatives.
Value2.1
The price is not especially low for what you get here. With 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, 4G only connectivity, and very modest performance, there are stronger-value options in this range.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Smooth 90Hz display

The 90Hz screen feels smoother than a basic 60Hz panel while scrolling through apps and social media. It makes everyday use feel a bit more responsive.

Clean Android Go software

Android Go keeps the interface lighter and easier to run on entry-level hardware. That helps with simple tasks like calling, messaging, and light app use.

Useful basics covered

You still get a side fingerprint sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack, expandable storage, and IP64 splash resistance. These are practical touches for daily use.

What’s not
4G only connectivity

At ₹12999, missing 5G is a major drawback in this category. Buyers planning to keep the phone for a few years will feel this limitation sooner.

Very weak performance

With an AnTuTu result of about 154,000 and 4 GB RAM, this phone is built for only the lightest tasks. App switching, gaming, and heavier apps will feel slow.

Basic HD+ screen

The 720x1600 display is serviceable for calls and video, but it is less sharp than Full HD rivals in this price range. Text and fine details will not look as crisp.

Limited cameras

The 13 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera are very basic for this budget. They are fine for occasional daylight shots, but detail and low-light quality will be modest.
