The ZuPick verdict

4.4out of 5
Strong buyBest at performance, weakest at value.

The combination of exceptional performance, outstanding battery life, a bright AMOLED display and a stabilised main camera is highly compelling for ₹18,899. NFC and base-storage value are the main compromises.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance4.8
It scores about 1.40 million on AnTuTu, delivering exceptional speed for demanding games and multitasking. The 8 GB memory, UFS 3.1 storage and 5G support complete a very strong setup.
Camera4.0
The 50 MP main camera benefits from optical stabilisation, an f/1.8 aperture and quick autofocus, helping with sharp photos and steadier low-light shots. 4K recording at 60 fps is excellent, though the 16 MP selfie camera is less remarkable.
Display4.5
The 120 Hz AMOLED panel, sharp 1080x2392 resolution and 1430-nit peak brightness create an excellent viewing experience. It is smooth, colourful and practical outdoors.
Battery4.8
A 7100 mAh capacity is outstanding at this price, and 16 hours 30 minutes of tested endurance confirms its staying power. Fast 80 W charging complements the large battery well.
Value2.8
The exceptional performance, display and battery help justify ₹18,899, but the base configuration offers only 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. It prioritises capability over bargain pricing.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Excellent AMOLED display

The 1080x2392 AMOLED screen delivers sharp text, rich contrast and smooth 120 Hz movement. Peak brightness of 1430 nits keeps it readable outdoors.

Exceptional battery endurance

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.

Very fast everyday performance

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.

Stable main camera

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.

Long software support

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.

What’s not
No NFC payments

Contactless payments and NFC-based quick pairing are unavailable. Buyers who regularly tap their phone at payment terminals may find this inconvenient.

No headphone socket

Wired earphones need a USB-C connection or an adapter. Bluetooth users will be unaffected, but existing 3.5 mm accessories are less convenient.

Base model feels costly

₹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.
