CONS

  1. Weak Processor: Powered by Snapdragon 626, it is underpowered compared to competitors in its price range.
  2. No Fast Charging: The 3260mAh battery charges slowly using a standard micro-USB charger.
  3. Plastic Build: The back panel and frame are made of plastic, which feels less premium than metal or glass.
  4. Low-Light Camera: Rear camera performance is poor and noisy in low-light conditions.
  5. Funtouch OS: The software is heavy, bloated, and heavily inspired by iOS, which many users dislike.
  6. Micro-USB Port: It lacks a modern Type-C port, relying on an outdated micro-USB connector.
  7. Smudge Prone: The glossy back attracts fingerprints and scratches very easily.
  8. Unoptimized Notch: Many apps are not optimized to work well with the display notch and aspect ratio.
  9. Average Battery Life: The battery lasts a day, but may require charging by evening with heavy use.
  10. Overpriced: It was considered pricey for the specifications offered compared to rivals like the Redmi Note 5 Pro.
