CONS

  1. Screen resolution is only 720p, not 1080p, which may look soft.
  2. Maximum brightness is lower (around 550 nits) compared to standard displays.
  3. Performance is limited by a budget MediaTek Dimensity 700/6020 chipset.
  4. Gaming performance is average, not ideal for heavy, intensive games.
  5. Charging speed is quite slow, with only a 15W max supported (often a 10W charger in box).
  6. The matte display can sometimes make colors appear less vibrant.
  7. No ultra-wide camera lens, limited to main and macro.
  8. Low light photography results are mediocre.
  9. No official IP rating for water or dust resistance.
  10. The "NxtPaper" mode can feel like a gimmick, just a gray-scale filter.
