  • Notebookcheck71/100Mar 2025

    Good-looking, well-built budget phone that covers the basics and stays cool; modest speed and a dim screen.

  • Alex Reviews Tech (Australia)70/100Mar 2025

    Slow, but a fair-value pick for basic needs and the better cheap Motorola than the Moto G15.

  • WitchDoctor (New Zealand)RecommendedJun 2025

    A solid budget phone at a very low price, best for undemanding users.

  • Gadgetguy (Australia)82/100Mar 2025

    A keep-it-simple phone that makes sensible cuts for tight budgets; suits kids and seniors with modest needs.

  • Tech Spurt (YouTube, UK)Feb 2025

    Fine for daily tasks and light games with strong battery life; the camera is basic.
