GoSolo Read / what it means7 takeaways
battery
5000mAh, roughly 1 to 1.5 daysAt typical use (mix of email, social media, browsing), expect about 24 to 36 hours between charges; heavier video or gaming cuts this significantly shorter.
charging
15–20W wired, 90+ minutes to fullDepending on your market's model, charging from empty takes roughly 90 to 110 minutes, so it won't revive a dead phone in time for a quick outing.
display
6.5″ 720p, 90Hz refreshThe 269 ppi density and 720p resolution mean text and photos look soft at normal viewing distance; the 90Hz refresh does smooth out scrolling through lists and feeds.
performance
Snapdragon 662, light gaming onlyThis chipset handles everyday apps and older games (Candy Crush tier) smoothly, but struggles with modern 3D titles like PUBG or Fortnite at playable framerates.
camera
64MP main, f/1.7, PDAFThe large sensor and fast aperture capture sharp detail in daylight and handle low-light scenes better than budget phones; the 8MP ultrawide works for group shots and landscapes, but the 2MP macro and depth sensors are novelty-tier.
connectivity
LTE Cat4, no 5G, dual SIMSpeeds max out around 150 Mbps down on 4G (adequate for video streaming, not fast downloads), and the dual Nano-SIM support means you can switch networks without swapping cards.
durability
Water-repellent, plastic body, rear fingerprintThe glass front and plastic back protect against drops moderately well; water-repellent coating resists splashes and light rain but offers no deep-water guarantee like IP68 does.
