The ZuPick verdict

2.3out of 5

SkipBest at battery, weakest at display.

Strong endurance, stereo speakers and expandable storage are practical advantages. They do not outweigh the dated display, slow performance, basic cameras and weak value.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.

Performance2.2

It reaches about 392,000 on AnTuTu, well below what most phones at this price manage. The 8 GB of memory supports routine multitasking, but demanding games and UFS 2.2 storage expose its limited speed.

Camera2.0

The 50 MP f/1.8 main camera handles straightforward daylight photos, but the overall camera setup is basic. Video stops at 1080p30, the 8 MP selfie camera captures limited detail, and distant subjects rely on detail-losing digital zoom.

Display2.0

The 1080x2400 resolution keeps text reasonably sharp, but the LCD panel is visibly less rich than AMOLED rivals. Peak brightness of 680 nits can struggle outdoors, while 90 Hz motion falls behind the common 120 Hz experience.

Battery2.9

The 5000 mAh battery delivered nearly 18 hours in testing, making full-day use realistic. Charging at 33W is comparatively slow, so refills require more patience than with many rivals.

Value2.5

The 8 GB and 128 GB configuration offers expandable storage, but ₹24,999 is difficult to justify. The LCD, weak processing power and limited cameras leave it behind better-equipped alternatives.

Pros & cons

What’s good

Long everyday endurance

The 5000 mAh battery lasted nearly 18 hours in testing. It can comfortably handle a full day of calls, browsing and video.

Useful audio extras

Stereo speakers improve videos and casual gaming. The 3.5 mm headphone jack also works with inexpensive wired earphones without an adapter.

Expandable storage support

The 128 GB internal storage can be expanded by up to 1 TB. That is useful for keeping large collections of photos, downloads and offline videos.

What’s not

Outclassed LCD display

The 6.72-inch LCD looks less vibrant than the AMOLED screens common at this price. Its 680-nit brightness and 90 Hz refresh rate also trail stronger alternatives.

Slow everyday performance

Its AnTuTu result of about 392,000 is well below what most similarly priced phones manage. Demanding games require reduced settings, and UFS 2.2 storage makes loading slower.

Basic camera hardware

The 50 MP main camera is best suited to uncomplicated daylight photography. The 8 MP selfie camera, 1080p30 recording and digital-only zoom limit its versatility.

Poor value at price

At ₹24,999, the 8 GB and 128 GB configuration does not compensate for the weak display, performance and cameras. Several alternatives provide substantially stronger hardware for similar money.
