CONS

  1. Disappointing 540x960 pixel qHD resolution screen is not sharp by modern standards.
  2. Only 2GB of RAM is insufficient for heavy multitasking and leads to app reloads.
  3. Meagre 16GB internal storage restricts the number of apps you can install.
  4. No fingerprint sensor, a feature commonly found in competitors in this price range.
  5. Small 2500 mAh battery requires frequent charging with heavy usage.
  6. Average camera performance, especially in low-light conditions.
  7. The operating system is stuck on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with little hope for updates.
  8. No fast charging support, with charging taking up to 2.5 hours to complete.
  9. Mediocre display brightness makes outdoor visibility difficult.
  10. Thick bezels and 16:9 aspect ratio make the screen feel dated
