The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
A compact, well-built phone with versatile cameras and excellent connectivity, held back by its small battery, modest charging, and Android 13.
What is good
- 168 g weight and 7.6 mm thickness keep it easy to handle.
- 50 MP OIS main camera and 3x optical telephoto expand versatility.
- IP68, Wi-Fi 6E, 5G, and USB-C 3.2 provide strong protection and connectivity.
What is not
- 3900 mAh battery is small for demanding daily use.
- 25 W wired charging is modest, despite 15 W wireless charging.
- Android 13 provides an older software starting point.
