battery

5000mAh, roughly 1.5–2 days light useAt this size with a 720p LCD screen, you will stretch it to a second day if you avoid video and gaming, but heavy use drains it in one.

charging

10W wired, around 3–4 hours to fullSlow enough that you will want to charge overnight rather than before leaving the house.

display

6.5in 720p IPS LCD, ~270 ppiText and photos are noticeably grainy compared to modern phones, and 720p on a 6.5 inch screen means scaling and compression in apps.

performance

Octa-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A55, 3GB RAMHandles messaging, light social media, and calls, but stutters under multitasking or gaming; 3GB RAM means apps close in the background.

camera

13MP main, 8MP selfie, 1080p@30fps videoServiceable for daylight snapshots and video calls, but low light is muddy and zoom crops heavily; the 0.3MP depth sensor adds barely any bokeh effect.

connectivity

LTE only, no 5G, microUSB 2.0Works on 4G networks but not next-gen 5G, and microUSB is slow for file transfers and slower to charge than USB-C.
