The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
The ZTE Optus X Start 5 offers Android 15 and a 90Hz display, but its modest hardware, camera and battery limit everyday appeal.
What is good
- Android 15 provides a current software foundation.
- 90Hz refresh rate makes scrolling smoother.
- 64GB storage leaves useful room for apps and media.
What is not
- The SC9863A and 2GB RAM constrain performance.
- The 3000mAh battery is small for a 6-inch phone.
- The 5MP wide camera offers very limited photographic capability.
