Pros & cons
The 90 Hz screen makes menus, social feeds and web pages move more smoothly than a 60 Hz display. The large 6.56-inch size is comfortable for videos and reading.
The 5000 mAh battery should handle a full day of calls, messaging, video and light app use. It is a practical capacity for regular daily use.
Stereo speakers improve video and music playback. The 3.5 mm headphone socket also lets you use inexpensive wired earphones.
The 64 GB internal storage can be expanded by up to 1 TB. This is useful for keeping downloaded videos, music and photos.
The 13 MP main camera is best kept to simple daylight photos, while indoor shots may look soft. The 5 MP front camera also captures limited selfie detail.
eMMC storage makes app installation and loading slower. Switching between several apps can feel less responsive.
The 720x1612 screen is fine for video and messaging, though text and small details are less crisp than on sharper screens. Brightness of 528 nits is comfortable indoors but can struggle in strong sunlight.
