Approximate ratings computed from the published specs (display type and refresh rate, cameras, battery and charging, and price vs. performance) — not lab tests.

What does that mean in plain words?

Chipset: Exynos 7880 — basic tier (12/100): calls, WhatsApp and light browsing.
Battery: 3,000 mAh — a relatively small capacity by market standards. Capacity is an indicator, not a measurement: real endurance depends on the display, chipset and your usage, and we have not measured it.
Charging: 15W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature).
Display: Super AMOLED, 5.2-inch — an OLED panel (true blacks, higher contrast than LCD).
Camera: 16 MP (1 lens) plus a 16 MP front camera. Megapixels and lens count describe the setup, not image quality — real results depend on the sensor and processing, which we have not tested.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • OLED display with vivid colors and true blacks

Cons
