| Rating | 6.4/10 | 5.8/10 |
| Battery | 5000mAh battery gets most people through a day, with 25W charging. | A 5000mAh battery that lasts a day of light use, but charging is slow at 10W. |
| Camera | A 50MP main camera that is decent in daylight, weak at night. | A basic 13MP camera that is fine for daylight snaps and documents only. |
| Speed | Helio G99 handles WhatsApp, YouTube and light games, but multitasking is slow. | Very slow chip that runs the lighter Go version of Android; fine for basics, not for games. |
| Catch | 4G only, only 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, and the price has gone up from ₹6,999 to ₹11,399. | 4G only with an old, weak chip and slow charging, so it will feel sluggish quickly. |
