CONS

  1. The 4000mAh battery is smaller than most competitors that offer 5000mAh in this range.
  2. The teardrop-style notch feels dated compared to modern hole-punch designs.
  3. No dual stereo speakers, resulting in mediocre sound quality from the mono speaker.
  4. The 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro cameras offer average performance at best.
  5. No 3.5mm headphone jack is present, requiring an adapter for wired headphones.
  6. The MediaTek Dimensity 800U processor lags behind rivals like the Poco F3 for high-end gaming.
  7. The plastic frame makes the phone feel slightly less premium than glass-and-metal rivals.
  8. No official IP rating for water or dust resistance.
  9. The Funtouch OS comes with a fair amount of bloatware apps.
  10. The back panel is a fingerprint magnet and requires a case to stay clean.
