CONS

  1. Resolution: The display is only 720p HD+, which may look less sharp compared to competitors offering Full HD.
  2. Fingerprint Sensor: The 3GB RAM variant lacks a physical fingerprint sensor, relying only on Face Access.
  3. Front Camera: The 5MP front camera produces average, often soft-focused, or noisy photos.
  4. Low-Light Camera: Rear and front cameras perform poorly in low light, with significant noise.
  5. Charging: Supports only standard 10W charging via a micro-USB port, which makes charging slow.
  6. Performance Lags: Can experience lag or stuttering during heavy gaming or intense multitasking.
  7. Build Quality: The back panel is plastic and prone to scratches or fingerprints.
  8. Bloatware: Funtouch OS comes with pre-installed apps that can feel cluttered.
  9. No 5G: Lacks 5G connectivity, supporting only 4G LTE.
  10. Price-to-Value: Initially launched at a higher price, making it less competitive against newer budget options.
