What reviewers say

Good

  • Slim and easy to hold for its battery size
  • Bright AMOLED that stays readable outdoors
  • Very fast, smooth gaming
  • About two days of moderate use
  • Speed holds up after months of use
  • Near two-day battery with moderate use
  • Full charge in roughly 45-50 minutes

Not so good

  • Throttles hard in sustained CPU tests (33.6% stability)
  • Warms by about 14 degrees after 30 minutes of heavy games
  • Few camera modes and no telephoto
  • Speakers lack punch unless turned up high
  • Weak wired and Bluetooth earphone output
  • Origin Island sometimes shows the wrong app with music players
  • No telephoto lens
  • 91mobiles86/100

    Best performance-first pick at its launch price, though heat under long load and camera colours need work.

  • 91mobiles (long-term)Recommended

    After about four months it still holds up well, but the Rs 5,000 price rise narrows its lead over rivals.

  • MySmartPrice88/100

    Delivers on speed and endurance; buyers who care most about cameras should look elsewhere.

  • Smartprix81/100May 2026

    A sound buy for gaming and battery life; camera processing and preinstalled apps are the weak spots.

  • Digit85/100Feb 2026

    Flagship-level speed in a comfortable size; a strong choice around Rs 50,000.

  • Deccan HeraldRecommendedMar 2026

    Good fit for heavy gamers and binge-watchers thanks to its chip, screen and battery.

What owners say
