CONS

  3. Fast Charging: The device lacks fast charging support, resulting in slower charging times.
  4. Heating: Users reported heating issues during heavy, extended gaming sessions.
  5. Camera Quality: While high MP, the camera over-optimizes pictures, making them look artificial.

  8. Build Material: Uses a plastic unibody design despite its premium, glossy appearance.
