Display and design
The AMOLED panel runs at 120Hz with strong peak brightness and Gorilla Glass 7i. The phone is glass at the front with a plastic back and frame and measures just 7.2mm, so it looks and feels slimmer than its battery would suggest. Colours are Lunar Titanium, Silk Green, Stellar Blue, Shadow Black and Orange.
Performance and software
The Dimensity 7100 supports 5G and is quick enough for social media, video streaming, navigation and casual gaming. There is 8GB of RAM in every version and either 128GB or 256GB of storage, with no card slot. It runs Android 16 and comes with a promise of up to three major updates.
Cameras
A single 50MP rear camera and a 13MP selfie camera are fine for social media and daylight photos. There is no ultrawide or zoom lens, and video is limited to 1440p at 30fps.
Battery and charging
The 6,500 mAh battery gives a full day and often a second day of light use. Charging is 45W, with about 50% in 27 minutes. Bypass charging keeps the phone running directly from the charger during gaming, and 10W reverse charging can power accessories.
Strengths

- AMOLED screen with JBL-tuned stereo speakers
- 5G, NFC and three promised Android updates
Weaknesses
- Single main camera and average low-light performance
- No memory card slot or 3.5mm jack
- Mid-range chip, so heavy games run at lower settings
Who should buy it
