CONS

  1. Powered by an aging Snapdragon 450 processor, which is weak for its price point.
  2. Performance can become laggy during intensive gaming or heavy, multitasking.
  3. Utilizes a Micro-USB port instead of the modern, faster USB Type-C standard.
  4. Only 32GB of internal storage, which is quite low by modern standards.
  5. Does not support fast charging, leading to long recharge times (nearly 2 hours).
  6. The body is constructed from plastic, making it feel less premium than glass or metal.
  7. Low-light photo performance is mediocre and produces significant noise.
  8. Runs on an older version of Android (Oreo) with heavy Funtouch OS customization.
  9. The AI beauty effects on the camera can sometimes produce artificial-looking results.
  10. The phone is considered overpriced by many users given the processor and storage limitations.
