The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

A durable 5G phone with an OLED display and stabilized main camera, held back by 18W charging, Android 11, and a 60Hz panel.

What is good

  • IP67 water and dust resistance adds reassuring durability.
  • 5G cellular connectivity and NFC support remain useful.
  • 12.2MP main camera includes optical image stabilization.

What is not

  • 4680mAh battery and 18W charging limit endurance and recharge speed.
  • Android 11 is an outdated software foundation.
  • 60Hz, 450-nit OLED display lacks smoothness and brightness.
