The ZuPick verdict

3.0out of 5
SkipBest at performance, weakest at value.

Performance and battery capacity are the highlights, but screen sharpness, charging speed and camera hardware create noticeable compromises. The overall package falls just short of being well-rounded at ₹13,999.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance4.0
It reaches about 639,000 on AnTuTu, which is strong for this price, while UFS 2.2 storage and 5G add responsiveness and longevity. The 4 GB RAM configuration is the main limit for intensive multitasking.
Camera2.6
The 32 MP rear camera has autofocus and can record smooth 1080p video at 60 fps. The modest resolution, 8 MP selfie camera and lack of OIS keep the experience fairly basic.
Display2.5
The 120 Hz refresh rate delivers smooth motion, and 810 nits provides usable outdoor visibility. However, the 720x1600 LCD is less sharp and less vivid than many alternatives.
Battery2.7
The 6300 mAh capacity offers reassuring endurance for long days. Its slow 15W charging means replenishing such a large battery requires patience.
Value2.4
At ₹13,999, the strong processor, 5G and large battery are appealing. The 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage configuration, HD screen and 15W charging reduce its competitiveness.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Strong everyday performance

The processor handles everyday apps and multitasking well for the price. It also has enough power for casual gaming at sensible settings.

Large 6300 mAh battery

The 6300 mAh battery should comfortably handle a long day of calls, browsing and video. Lighter users can stretch it further.

Smooth 120 Hz motion

The 120 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and interface animations feel fluid. This is especially noticeable in social media feeds and supported games.

Useful expandable storage

Storage expansion up to 2 TB provides plenty of room for downloaded videos, music and photos. UFS 2.2 also keeps app loading reasonably responsive.

What’s not
Slow 15W recharging

A 6300 mAh battery takes considerable time to refill at 15W. Short charging sessions will add relatively little usable power.

Screen lacks fine detail

The 720x1600 screen is noticeably less sharp than Full HD alternatives. Its LCD panel also lacks the deep blacks and contrast of AMOLED screens.

Basic camera hardware

The 32 MP rear camera is best suited to daylight snapshots. Without OIS, low-light photos and handheld video require a steady hand.
