- Battery
- A 5000mAh battery that lasts a day of light use, but charging is slow at 10W.
- Camera
- A basic 13MP camera that is fine for daylight snaps and documents only.
- Speed
- Very slow chip that runs the lighter Go version of Android; fine for basics, not for games.
- The catch
- 4G only with an old, weak chip and slow charging, so it will feel sluggish quickly.
