| Rating | 8/10 | 9/10 |

| Camera | Dependable 50MP main and 12MP ultrawide cameras, the same as last year; no zoom lens. | Excellent cameras, especially the 200MP zoom lens, which is great at night and for close-ups. |
| Speed | Fast chip, but it heats up and slows down under heavy use. | Very fast chip with standout graphics, though it slows down when pushed for a long time. |
| Catch | Hardly changed from the Flip7, costs $100 (about ₹9,500) more, and only IP48 so it is not fully dust-proof. | Heavy, and performance drops under long gaming sessions; speakers are only average. |
