Pros & cons
The 1080x2392 AMOLED screen delivers sharp text, rich contrast and smooth 120 Hz movement. Peak brightness of 1430 nits keeps it readable outdoors.
The 7100 mAh battery can comfortably stretch beyond a full day of demanding use. It delivered 16 hours 30 minutes in testing, while 80 W charging reduces downtime.
It scores about 1.40 million on AnTuTu, which is exceptionally fast for this price. The 8 GB memory and UFS 3.1 storage also keep apps, games and multitasking responsive.
The 50 MP main camera combines optical stabilisation, quick autofocus and an f/1.8 aperture. It can record detailed 4K video at 60 fps, while the 8 MP ultra-wide adds flexibility.
Four Android upgrades and six years of security updates make it suitable for long-term ownership. IP65 protection also helps against dust and everyday splashes.
Contactless payments and NFC-based quick pairing are unavailable. Buyers who regularly tap their phone at payment terminals may find this inconvenient.
Wired earphones need a USB-C connection or an adapter. Bluetooth users will be unaffected, but existing 3.5 mm accessories are less convenient.
₹18,899 buys 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage, limiting its bargain appeal. Storage expansion is supported, though the hybrid tray makes it a choice between a memory card and a second SIM.
