Pros & cons
The 6.67-inch OLED panel combines a sharp 1080x2400 resolution, 1600 nits peak brightness and 144 Hz refresh rate. It looks smooth, vibrant and easy to read outdoors.
The 50 MP main camera gets OIS and a bright f/1.8 lens, which helps with cleaner low-light shots and steadier video. 4K recording adds flexibility for casual creators.
It scores about 625,000 on AnTuTu, which is slightly below the middle of what this price usually offers but still enough for smooth daily use, multitasking and moderate gaming.
At 178.10 grams and 7.93 mm, it stays relatively light and sleek for a 5500 mAh phone. IP68 protection is a genuine plus for durability in this price range.
The 5500 mAh battery is comfortably above the usual 5000 mAh mark. It is well suited to full-day use with room to spare for lighter users.
33W charging is serviceable, but rivals in this range often refill faster. With a big 5500 mAh battery, top-ups take longer than the better options here.
UFS 2.2 keeps the phone responsive enough, but app installs, game loading and large file handling are not as quick as phones using newer storage.
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is fine for everyday use, but buyers focused on heavy gaming can get stronger raw performance around this budget.
