What reviewers say

Good

  • Big 120Hz screen
  • Sturdy IP64 build
  • Good daylight photos
  • 4 OS + 6 years security updates
  • About two days of mixed use
  • Stays cool under stress test
  • Smooth 120Hz display

Not so good

  • Bulky
  • Almost 2 hours to fully charge
  • Preloaded apps (removable)
  • No NFC
  • Close to two hours to charge
  • Struggles in long gaming sessions
  • HD+ resolution
  • FoneArenaRecommendedSep 2026

    A practical workhorse for buyers who want battery life, long updates and a big screen; not for gamers or fast charging.

  • MySmartPrice72/100Aug 2026

    Simple, practical phone that lasts multiple days, let down by a low-resolution screen and slow charging.

  • Exhibit.tech67/100Sep 2026

    Only for people who put battery above everything; as an all-rounder at Rs 20,999 it falls short.

  • Free Press Journal70/100Oct 2026

    A long-lasting budget phone with years of updates; pick the 6GB model, and skip it if you want a sharp screen or good night photos.

  • 91mobiles82/100Sep 2026

    Its huge screen and stereo speakers stand out (score and summary via Notebookcheck's review listing).

  • TechPP80/100Sep 2026

    A pleasant budget phone praised for its design and battery (score and summary via Notebookcheck's review listing).
