battery

5000mAh, about 1.5 to 2 days light useWith the Helio P35's low power draw and typical browsing or messaging, this can stretch across two lighter days before charging, though heavy video or gaming will reduce it to one day.

charging

10W wired, roughly 2 to 2.5 hours to fullAt 10W into a 5000mAh battery, expect a full charge to take around two to two and a half hours from zero.

display

6.3 inch LCD, 278 ppi, 720×1600The 720p resolution on a 6.3 inch screen means individual pixels are visible at arm's length, especially for text; the LCD panel is functional but will have a narrower viewing angle than AMOLED.

performance

Helio P35, light apps and media onlyThe octa-core Cortex-A53 at 2.3 GHz is built for basic tasks like messaging, browsing, and video playback; demanding games will stutter or need graphics turned down significantly.

camera

13MP main, f/1.8, 1080p videoThe f/1.8 aperture and PDAF help in daylight and dim indoor scenes, but 1080p video is lower resolution than what many competitors offer in this price class.

storage

64/128GB internal, microSD slot, USB 2.0Both tiers are limited by USB 2.0 speeds (about 60 Mbps) for file transfers; the dedicated microSD slot lets you expand storage without losing the dual SIM option.

connectivity

LTE Cat4, Wi-Fi 5, no 5G or NFCLTE Cat4 maxes at 150 Mbps download, which is adequate for streaming but slow by modern standards; Wi-Fi 5 is standard, but NFC for contactless payments is absent.
