performance

Unisoc SC9863A, 4GB RAMEntry-level processor handles light browsing, social media, and calls, but expect lag in games and heavy multitasking.

battery

5000mAh, about 1.5 to 2 daysLarge capacity and modest display let you go roughly 1.5 to 2 days between charges on mixed use.

charging

10W wired, roughly 2.5+ hoursSlow charger means you should plan for around 2.5 to 3 hours to reach full from empty.

display

6.52", 460 nits peak brightnessLow resolution (215 ppi) makes text and icons slightly soft, and 460 nits struggles in direct sunlight without cranking brightness.

camera

13MP main with AF, 5MP selfieWide shots indoors are serviceable; outdoor daylight photos look acceptable, but low light and zoom produce soft results.

connectivity

LTE only, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 5.2No 5G; LTE and basic Wi-Fi mean moderate speeds, suitable for messaging and video calls on stable networks.

durability

IP54, side fingerprint sensor, 9mm bodyIP54 stops dust ingress and light splashes, but is not waterproof; thin 9mm profile and 185g weight keep it pocketable.
