CONS

  1. Heavy & Bulky: Weighs 268-280 grams and measures nearly 12mm thick, making it less pocketable.
  2. Low Screen Brightness: Maximum brightness (roughly 350-700 nits) can struggle in direct, harsh sunlight.
  3. Slow Wired Charging: Restricted to only 15W wired charging, which is slow for a 5,000mAh battery.
  4. Mediocre Cameras: Camera quality is considered average for the price, struggling in low light.
  5. Expensive for Specs: High price point ($599-$600+) compared to non-rugged phones with similar performance.
  6. Shared MicroSD Slot: Uses a hybrid slot, meaning you cannot use a second SIM and a memory card simultaneously.
  7. No 3.5mm Jack: Lacks a dedicated headphone jack, requiring USB-C adapters or Bluetooth.
  8. Limited Availability: Released mainly in specific regions (North/Latin America) and not officially in many other markets.
  9. Average Processor: The MediaTek Dimensity 930 is a mid-range, not flagship, chipset.
