- Battery
- Good battery life for a flip phone; usually lasts a full day.
- Camera
- Dependable 50MP main and 12MP ultrawide cameras, the same as last year; no zoom lens.
- Speed
- Fast chip, but it heats up and slows down under heavy use.
- The catch
- Hardly changed from the Flip7, costs $100 (about ₹9,500) more, and only IP48 so it is not fully dust-proof.
