The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

A compact, durable 5G phone with strong performance and connectivity, held back by its small battery and dated software.

What is good

  • Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 delivers strong performance in a compact body.
  • 5.9-inch 120Hz AMOLED display offers sharp, smooth viewing.
  • IP68, Wi-Fi 6E and USB-C 3.1 provide excellent connectivity.

What is not

  • 4300 mAh battery is small for demanding daily use.
  • 30W charging is modest.
  • Android 12 feels dated.
