The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

A light, slim phone with a smooth OLED display and capable cameras, held back by its 4300mAh battery, 4G connectivity, and HarmonyOS 2.0.

What is good

  • 120Hz OLED display delivers smooth scrolling and vivid visuals
  • 175g body and 7.77mm profile are pleasantly light and slim
  • 50MP main camera with 8MP ultrawide offers versatile shooting

What is not

  • 4300mAh battery is modest for this class
  • HarmonyOS 2.0 offers a less flexible software experience
  • 4G cellular and USB 2.0 Type-C feel dated

How the score breaks down

  • Performance 59
  • Camera 73
  • Display 72
  • Battery 13
  • Connectivity 66
  • Build 80
