battery

5200mAh, about 1 day light useAt this size, expect roughly 10 to 12 hours of screen-on time with moderate brightness and use, less if you stream video or game.

charging

10W wired, roughly 2 hours to fullFrom flat to full takes around 90 to 120 minutes, so plan to charge overnight or spend a long lunch break plugged in.

display

90Hz LCD, 530 nits, 269 ppiThe 90Hz refresh and 530-nit peak brightness mean scrolling is smooth enough for casual use and sun glare is manageable, but the 720p resolution at 6.56 inches means text and images will show visible pixels up close.

performance

Helio G36, light gaming onlyThis entry-level chipset and PowerVR GE8320 GPU handle simple games like Candy Crush or Subway Surfers comfortably, but will struggle with 3D games or heavy multitasking above low settings.

camera

13MP main, f/1.8, 1080p videoThe wide aperture helps in dim indoor light, but the sensor is small and there is no digital zoom, making it hard to capture distant subjects or fine detail; 1080p@30fps video is entry-level for 2024.

connectivity

LTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1No 5G, but dual-band Wi-Fi and modern Bluetooth mean reliable pairing with headphones, speakers, and routers; LTE covers most urban and suburban networks worldwide.
