CONS

  1. Still uses a dated Micro-USB port instead of the faster Type-C standard.

  4. Performance is underpowered and not suitable for heavy gaming.
  5. Camera performance is mediocre and struggles in low-light conditions.
  6. Display resolution is only HD+, lacking the sharpness of FHD+ panels.
