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: Unisoc SC9863A — basic tier (12/100): calls, WhatsApp and light browsing. Battery: 4,000 mAh — a mid-size 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: 10W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature). Display: IPS LCD HD+, 6.5-inch — an LCD panel; lower contrast than OLED, and the norm at this price. Camera: 8 MP (1 lens) plus a 8 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.
