The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
A powerful gaming phone with an excellent display and connectivity, but its heavy body, limited cameras and aging software temper the experience.
What is good
- Snapdragon 888 and 18GB RAM deliver strong performance.
- 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED display supports HDR10+ and high brightness.
- 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC provide excellent connectivity.
What is not
- 238g weight and 10.3mm thickness make the phone bulky.
- Android 11, upgradeable to Android 13, feels dated.
- Only main and selfie cameras limit shooting versatility.
