performance

Helio P35, 3GB RAM, entry-levelThe Mediatek Helio P35 and 3GB RAM handle light browsing, messaging, and older games at low settings, but expect lag in demanding apps and multitasking with many tabs open.

battery

4230mAh, about 1 day moderate useA full day is realistic with light to moderate screen time (social media, browsing), but heavy gaming or video streaming will drain it by evening.

charging

10W wired, roughly 2 to 2.5 hoursA full charge from empty takes well over an hour, so you cannot top up before leaving the house in a pinch.

display

6.2″ IPS, 450 nits, 720pThe screen is readable in direct sunlight (450 nits is adequate) but text and small icons are soft at 271 ppi, and the refresh rate is the standard 60Hz, so scrolling looks standard, not fluid.

camera

13MP wide, 2MP depth, basicThe 13MP sensor is fine for daytime snapshots and 1080p video, but low-light photos will be noisy and the 2MP depth helper does not produce sharp portraits.

connectivity

LTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0You get LTE and dual-band Wi-Fi for everyday internet, though no 5G means you cannot future-proof on the network side, and microUSB 2.0 is slow for file transfers.
