  3. Modern OS: Runs on the latest Android 14 operating system out of the box.
  4. Slimmer Design: At 12.8 mm, it is thinner than many other rugged smartphones.
  5. Ample Storage: Comes with 128GB of internal storage, which is generous for its price point.

CONS

  1. No Fingerprint Scanner: Lacks a biometric fingerprint sensor, relying only on face unlock.
  2. No NFC Support: Lacks NFC, which means no contactless payments (Google Pay).
  3. Only 720p Resolution: The 6.56-inch display is limited to HD+ (720 x 1612) resolution.
  4. Mediocre Processor: The Unisoc T606 processor is basic, causing occasional lag or slow responses.
  5. No 5G Network: The phone is limited to 4G LTE, making it less future-proof.
  6. Slow Charging: Comes with only a 10W charger, leading to long charging times.
  7. Low Quality Audio: The mono speaker is located at the back, which often gets muffled.
  8. Mediocre Cameras: Camera quality is poor, particularly in low light or for moving objects.
  9. Heavy/Bulky: Despite being "slim" for a rugged phone, it still weighs 268g, which is heavy.
  10. Unusual Microphone Placement: The microphone placement can lead to suboptimal audio during calls.
