What reviewers say

Good

  • IP66/68/69/69K protection
  • Cameras do well in most light
  • Fine speed for everyday users
  • Excellent battery (19h PCMark, about 11h screen time)
  • 80W charging, about 47 minutes from 20%
  • Stylish, well-protected body
  • Bright HDR10+ OLED

Not so good

  • Ultrawide weaker than the other cameras
  • Short update promise for the price
  • Heavy at about 200g
  • Rarely runs at 144Hz
  • Expensive at launch
  • Weak video stabilisation and ultrawide video
  • No eSIM in some markets
  • 91mobiles82/100

    Decent buy for a versatile camera and all-day power; short software support is the main letdown at this price.

  • GSMArenaRecommendedJan 2026

    Strong cameras and outstanding battery for its class, but the launch price is steep, especially with 128GB base storage.

  • MySmartPrice86/100Jan 2026

    Good phone with clear strengths for camera and battery buyers; gamers should look elsewhere.

  • FoneArenaRecommendedJan 2026

    Compelling for battery, design, zoom and screen, held back by a carried-over chip and basic ultrawide.

  • Business TodayRecommendedJan 2026

    Hard to ignore at Rs 39,999 for display, battery and cameras, if raw speed is not the priority.
