GoSolo Read / what it means7 takeaways

performance

Snapdragon 662, Adreno 610Handles everyday apps and light games at steady frame rates, but taxing titles will need settings dropped to avoid stuttering.

battery

5000 mAh, about 1 day typical useWith a mix of calling, messaging, and browsing you'll reach evening before needing a charge, though heavy video or gaming cuts that shorter.

charging

20W wired, roughly 1.5 to 2 hours fullA standard cable gets you from empty to full in about 90 minutes to 2 hours, no wireless option.

display

6.5 inches, 720x1600, 269 ppiAt 269 pixels per inch, the screen is visibly pixelated if you hold it close, and the 720p resolution makes small text a strain in apps.

camera

48MP main, 1/2.0", f/1.7The 48MP sensor with f/1.7 aperture captures daylight detail well and handles lower light better than a narrower lens, but the macro and depth sensors are mostly filler.

storage

64GB or 128GB, microSD expandableBase 64GB fills fast if you keep photos and videos; the microSD slot (sharing the SIM tray) lets you add more, though it runs at UHS-I speeds.

connectivity

LTE Cat 4, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0Download and upload speeds cap at around 150 Mbps and 50 Mbps on 4G, and Wi-Fi ac is standard but not swift, so large file transfers are slow.
