Pros & Cons: Pros Cons Smooth 90Hz screen for scroll-happy fingers. No 5G connectivity—so futureproofing is a stretch. Clean and up-to-date Android 13 interface. Modest MediaTek Helio G85 chip isn’t for heavy gaming or intense multitasking. Triple camera system for variety in everyday snaps. No water resistance rating, so best to keep it dry.
