GoSolo Read / what it means6 takeaways

performance

Kirin 985 5G, Mali-G77 GPUHandles mid-range Android games (PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile on medium settings) smoothly, but not the absolute fastest chip for 2021 flagships.

battery

3800 mAh, roughly 5–6 hours screen timeA full day of moderate use (messaging, social media, calls) is tight; heavy video streaming or gaming drains it by evening.

charging

66W wired, 35 minutes to fullReaches 60% in 15 minutes, so a quick top-up before leaving covers most half-day trips.

display

6.57″ OLED, 90Hz, 392 ppiSmooth scrolling and punchy colors indoors; 1080p resolution means fine text can appear slightly soft at arm's length.

camera

64MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 120° fieldMain sensor handles detail in daylight and close-ups; ultrawide fits entire scenes or group shots without stepping back.

connectivity

5G SA/NSA, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.15G bands cover most carrier networks in China and parts of Europe; no Google Play Services limits app access outside China.
