The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

A powerful, well-connected phone with an excellent 120Hz display, though its 256GB storage and 66W wired charging limit flexibility.

What is good

  • Snapdragon 8 Elite, 3nm process, and 12GB RAM suit demanding workloads.
  • 6.43-inch LTPO AMOLED display delivers 120Hz refresh and 405ppi sharpness.
  • 5G, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and USB-C 3.1 provide modern connectivity.

What is not

  • 256GB storage may fill quickly with demanding apps and media.
  • 66W wired charging is modest for a 5820mAh battery.
  • 217g weight and 9mm depth make portability less effortless.
