GoSolo Read / what it means7 takeaways
display
5.81", 1080p OLED, 443 ppiThe 443-ppi density and OLED panel mean text and icons are sharp and colors accurate in daylight, though this 2020 phone predates high-refresh displays.
performance
Snapdragon 730G, 6GB RAMThe 730G handles everyday apps, messaging, and casual games smoothly, but struggles with demanding 3D titles at high settings.
camera
12.2MP wide, f/1.7, OIS, Pixel ShiftThe wide aperture, optical stabilization, and Pixel Shift (Google's multi-shot HDR mode) produce well-exposed, sharp photos in mixed lighting without a zoom lens.
battery
3140 mAh, about 5–6 hours screen-onWith moderate use (messaging, browsing, camera), you'll reach mid-evening before needing to plug in; heavy social media or navigation drains it by late afternoon.
charging
18W wired, roughly 60–75 minutes to fullUSB-C PD2.0 top-up is slow by 2024 standards; pack a cable if you're away from home for a full day.
durability
Gorilla Glass 3, plastic frame and backThe front is reasonably scratch-resistant, but the plastic frame and rear are more prone to dents and wear than modern aluminum or glass builds.
connectivity
LTE Cat12, Wi-Fi 5, no 5GLTE is sufficient for video streaming and web use on mobile networks where 5G is unavailable or sparse; Wi-Fi 5 is adequate for home internet.
