The ZuPick verdict

3.1out of 5

SkipBest at camera, weakest at value.

The best thing here is the balanced flagship-style feature set: a 120 Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2x display, IP68 rating, wireless charging, and a real triple camera with 3x optical telephoto. The worst thing is value at ₹49,999, because it pairs that price with an Exynos 2100, 8 GB RAM, 4500 mAh battery, and no expandable storage.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.

Performance2.3

This phone uses the "Samsung Exynos 2100" with "8 GB" LPDDR5 RAM, "UFS 3.1" storage, and an "antutuScore" of "753,639". For ₹40,000 and above, the brief expects 12 GB RAM and newer flagship-class chipsets with UFS 4.0, so this lands below what the band should buy.

Camera4.0

The rear setup is well-rounded on paper: a 12 MP main with "f/1.8", "1/1.7\"", and "OIS: Yes"; a 12 MP ultrawide with "f/2.2"; and an 8 MP telephoto with "upto 3x Optical Zoom" at 76 mm. This is a real flagship-style trio, though the telephoto is only 8 MP with "1µm" pixels and no OIS is listed for that lens specifically.

Display3.6

The screen is a "6.4 inches" Dynamic AMOLED 2x panel with "120 Hz", "HDR 10+", and "1200 nits" peak brightness. In this band, the expectation is LTPO with variable refresh rate plus 1.5K/QHD+ and 2000+ nits, and none of those higher-end figures are listed here.

Battery3.1

The battery is "4500 mAh" with "25W Fast Charging, 50% in 30 minutes", plus "wirelessCharging: Yes" and "wirelessReverseCharging: Yes". Wireless charging helps, but 5000 mAh is the par in this segment and the listed "batteryLifePcMark: 8h 51m" does not stand out.

Value2.2

At "₹49999", the spec mix is hard to justify against this band's expectations: "Samsung Exynos 2100", "8 GB" RAM, "UFS 3.1", and a "4500 mAh" battery. The feature set is broad, but the core hardware is a tier below what this money should normally buy.

Pros & cons

What’s good

Proper telephoto camera

The rear setup includes an 8 MP telephoto lens with "upto 3x Optical Zoom" at 76 mm, alongside a 12 MP ultrawide, so the extra cameras are real utility lenses rather than filler.

Strong display fundamentals

You get a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x panel with "120 Hz", "HDR 10+", and "1200 nits" peak brightness, plus Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

Premium durability features

The phone is rated "IP68" for water resistance up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes and is also listed as dust proof.

Good charging feature set

The 4500 mAh battery supports "25W Fast Charging, 50% in 30 minutes" and also includes both "wirelessCharging: Yes" and "wirelessReverseCharging: Yes".

Fast storage and memory type

It uses "LPDDR5" RAM and "UFS 3.1" storage, which are still solid foundations for day-to-day responsiveness.

What’s not

Performance is below this price band's expectation

At ₹49,999, this comes with "Samsung Exynos 2100", "8 GB" RAM, and "UFS 3.1" storage, while this band expects newer flagship silicon and 12 GB RAM as a baseline.

Battery capacity is under par for the segment

The battery is "4500 mAh", whereas 5000 mAh is the normal expectation in this ₹40,000+ bracket; the listed "8h 51m" PCMark battery life is only moderate.

Build materials are not fully premium

The phone has a "Back: Plastic" even though premium materials are expected in this price band, not treated as a bonus.

No expandable storage

Storage is "128 GB / 256 GB" with "expandableStorage: No", so buyers who keep lots of 4K video or games cannot add a microSD card.
