- Battery
- 8000mAh battery gave Smartprix about 9 to 10 hours of screen time, so most people get two days; 45W charging takes almost 2 hours.
- Camera
- One useful 50MP camera that is decent in daylight but blurry indoors, and video stops at 1080p.
- Speed
- Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 is fine for apps and social media, below average for games.
- The catch
- Mono speaker, no NFC in India, weak cameras and slow charging; heavy at 225g.
