The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

A capable gaming phone with a smooth 90Hz AMOLED display, but its 4000 mAh battery and Android 8.1 age poorly.

What is good

  • Snapdragon 845 and 8GB RAM support demanding games.
  • 6-inch AMOLED display runs at 90Hz.
  • 512GB storage, NFC, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0.

What is not

  • 4000 mAh battery is modest for a gaming phone.
  • Android 8.1 feels outdated, despite the planned upgrade.
  • 200g body is heavy and 8.65mm thick.
