The ZuPick verdict

2.9out of 5

SkipBest at value, weakest at camera.

Extreme charging speed and generous memory stand out, but this phone gives up too much in display quality, optical zoom, video capability and premium charging features against current alternatives.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.

Performance3.3

The Dimensity 8100, 12 GB RAM and UFS 3.1 storage provide responsive everyday use and solid gaming performance. However, the storage technology is behind the faster UFS 4.0 used by stronger rivals.

Camera2.3

The stabilised 50 MP main camera covers everyday photography, and the 8 MP ultrawide adds flexibility. The lack of optical zoom, modest 16 MP selfie camera and 4K30 video ceiling make the system comparatively limited.

Display2.4

The 120 Hz AMOLED screen delivers smooth motion, but the 1080x2412 resolution is less detailed than 1.5K rivals. Peak brightness of 1000 nits also limits visibility in harsh sunlight.

Battery3.3

The 4500 mAh capacity is modest, but 150W charging is a major convenience and reaches 50% in 5 minutes. The lack of wireless charging keeps it behind more complete premium alternatives.

Value3.6

The ₹42,999 price is attractive for 12 GB RAM, 256 GB storage and 150W charging. Its weaker display, limited camera versatility and cable-only charging reduce the advantage.

Pros & cons

What’s good

Exceptionally fast charging

The 150W charging system is among the fastest options at this price. It can reach 50% in 5 minutes, making brief top-ups genuinely useful.

Generous everyday memory

The 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage combination provides ample room for multitasking, large games and media. UFS 3.1 storage also keeps apps responsive.

Stabilised main camera

The 50 MP main camera has optical stabilisation, helping produce steadier low-light photos and smoother handheld footage.

What’s not

Weak premium display

The 120 Hz AMOLED panel is smooth, but its Full HD resolution and 1000-nit peak brightness trail sharper and brighter rivals at this price.

No optical zoom

There is no telephoto camera, so portraits and distant subjects rely on digital cropping. Many alternatives offer dedicated 3x or even 5x zoom.

Limited video capability

Rear video tops out at 4K30, while 4K60 is common among competing premium phones. The 16 MP front camera is also relatively modest.

Cable-only charging

The 4500 mAh battery is smaller than many current alternatives, and there is no wireless charging. The extremely fast wired charging partly offsets this limitation.

What owners say

From Reddit

Upgraded from a 3yo Redmi (RN7pro). I removed/ disabled most preinstalled apps (adb not needed). There is a freeze function to restrict apps from background usage, which is great and I put it to use immediately.

r/Realmeu/cucumber_where · 4y ago

Power: Ok. Takes about 10/15 minutes to charge 30/40%. I try to keep it between 20-80% battery levels. Can get by day to day normal uses with this much. For 20 minutes of gaming it consumes 6/7% of battery

Performance: Cant handle 60 fps in Genshin, but 30 fps with everything else on medium works fine. The gameplay also seem much much smoother than 30 fps than Redmi. Was expecting better tbf.

Heat management: Fantastic. Not over heating even after 1 hour of gaming. Indoor use, tried both with and without AC.
