Review: The New Mid-Range Phone That Punches Above Its Price

Mid-range phones used to mean compromise. This one makes you wonder why you would spend twice as much.

Design and display

The build is plastic but tastefully done, and the display is a bright, high-refresh panel that looks far more expensive than it is.

Performance

Day-to-day performance is smooth. This is not a gaming phone, but nothing about ordinary use feels slow.

Camera

The main sensor is the standout. In good light it produces sharp, well-balanced photos, and the night mode is usable rather than a gimmick.

Battery

Two-day battery life is realistic for lighter users, and fast charging tops it up quickly.

Verdict

If you want a phone that gets the fundamentals right without the flagship tax, this is an easy recommendation.
