- Battery
- 5500mAh battery lasts a day of light use; 15W charging is slow.
- Camera
- Only an 8MP rear camera, so photos are basic.
- Speed
- Weak Unisoc T7225 chip and slow eMMC storage; apps open slowly.
- The catch
- No 5G, an 8MP camera and slow storage at ₹13,999 is poor value next to similar-priced 5G phones.
