CONS

  1. Slow Charging: Lacks fast charging, making the 5000mAh battery slow to charge via 10W.
  2. Low Screen Resolution: The 720x1544 HD+ resolution is low for a screen of this size.
  3. Lag in Heavy Apps: Not recommended for high-end or competitive gaming due to processor limitations.

  5. Average Camera Performance: Camera quality is poor in low light, though acceptable in daylight.
  6. Limited Storage: 32GB internal storage is low for modern apps and media.
  7. Older Android Version: Released with Android 9.0 (Pie), which is outdated.
  8. Plastic Build: The plastic back, while stylish, is prone to scratches.
  9. Only 3GB RAM: 3GB RAM may feel tight for heavy multitasking.
  10. Lacks Gyroscope Sensor: Relies on a virtual gyroscope rather than a dedicated hardware one.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
