The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

A powerful, beautifully equipped foldable, held back by modest battery endurance, 4G-only cellular connectivity, and HarmonyOS limitations.

What is good

  • Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 delivers strong performance with 12GB RAM.
  • 7.85-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED reaches 2500 nits.
  • 50MP OIS main camera and 5x optical telephoto add versatility.

What is not

  • 4800mAh battery is modest for a large foldable.
  • 4G cellular connectivity misses faster-generation mobile networks.
  • HarmonyOS 3.1 is a software weakness.
