durability

IP68/IP69K, 1.5m drop ratedWaterproof to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes and survives 1.5 metre drops; handles dust and high-pressure jets, so it will not break from being submerged or knocked off a shelf.

battery

10600mAh, about 2 days moderate useA 10600mAh battery paired with a 720p screen (low resolution) means roughly 10 to 12 hours of screen time per charge, stretching to 2 days if you use it lightly.

display

720p on 6.53 inches, 270 ppiThe 270 ppi density on a 720 x 1612 IPS LCD means text and photos will show visible pixels up close, especially next to modern phones, though it remains readable at normal viewing distance.

performance

MT8788V, 12GB RAM, light tasks onlyAn eight-core Mediatek from 2019 with 12GB RAM handles messaging, web browsing, and casual apps smoothly but will struggle with modern games and heavy multitasking.

camera

48MP main, dual macro, 16MP selfieA 48MP main sensor with PDAF and LED flash is capable in daylight, though the 2MP and 0.3MP macro sensors are novelties; the 16MP front camera is standard for video calls.

connectivity

LTE, Wi-Fi ac, NFC, no 5GLTE and dual-band Wi-Fi ac cover standard networks in most regions, NFC enables tap payments, but no 5G means slower downloads in areas with 5G coverage.
