GoSolo Read / what it means6 takeaways

battery

5000mAh, roughly 1 to 1.5 daysAt typical use (light browsing, calls, messaging), you'll go from full charge to low battery in about one to one and a half days before needing to plug in.

charging

18W wired, roughly 60 to 90 minutesA full 0-to-100% charge takes around one to one and a half hours; reverse wired charging is 2.5W, so this is a phone you recharge from a wall plug, not one that powers other devices.

display

720p LCD, 270 ppi, 400 nitsText is blocky and pixelated if you hold it close (720p on 6.22 inches is well below the sharpness of modern phones), and 400 nits brightness means reading in direct sunlight is a strain even with the screen at full.

performance

Snapdragon 439, 2-3GB RAM, basic gamingThe Adreno 505 GPU and octa-core CPU handle light apps, video, and messaging smoothly, but demanding games (PUBG, Genshin Impact) will lag or skip frames at default settings; expect to dial settings down or avoid them.

camera

13MP main, 1/3.1-inch sensor, no zoomThe wide camera captures daylight shots and group photos decently, but the 1/3.1-inch sensor (small for 2020) struggles in low light, and there is no telephoto, so distant subjects come out soft.

durability

Gorilla Glass 5, plastic build, water-repellentThe front is scratch-resistant, but the plastic frame and back are prone to dents and scuffs; the water-repellent coating protects against splashes, not full immersion.
