GoSolo Read / what it means5 takeaways
display
6.75-inch 720p, 90Hz IPS, 400 nitsAt 260 ppi pixel density the screen looks grainy next to modern midrange phones; 400 nits brightness means readable in shade but dimmer than standard in direct sunlight; 90Hz refresh feels smoother than 60Hz but this resolution makes the limitation obvious.
performance
Helio G36 chip, 4 or 6GB RAMThis processor (quad 2.2 GHz A53 cores plus quad 1.6 GHz A53 cores) handles basic apps, messaging, and light gaming (Candy Crush, Subway Surfers on low settings); anything heavier like Genshin Impact will struggle or not run.
camera
50MP main, f/1.8, plus 2MP macroThe 50MP sensor at f/1.8 captures decent detail in daylight and low-light shots thanks to the wide aperture; the 2MP macro lens is for extreme close-up work only and adds little real value; 8MP front camera handles video calls adequately.
battery
5000 mAh, 10W wired chargingThe 5000 mAh battery with moderate power efficiency gets about 1 to 1.5 days of average daily use (moderate messaging, browsing, some video); 10W charging means roughly 2 to 3 hours to reach 100 percent from empty.
connectivity
LTE only, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0No 5G; LTE speeds are standard for budget phones released in late 2024, fine for streaming and browsing on regular networks; Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 5.0 pair reliably with wireless headsets and speakers.
