battery
6000mAh, about 1.5 days light useWith a 6000mAh pack and a modest 1080p AMOLED screen, you'll get roughly 10 to 12 hours of screen-on time on typical mixed use, stretching to a full day and a half if you stick to messaging and web browsing.
charging
15W wired, roughly 2 to 2.5 hours full chargeThe 15W charger will take around 2 to 2.5 hours to go from empty to full, so plan accordingly if you need a quick top-up before leaving.
display
Super AMOLED, 420 nits peak brightnessThe AMOLED panel is sharp at 403 ppi and handles 420 nits peak, so you can read it outdoors in bright sun without straining, though not as effortlessly as a 600+ nit screen.
performance
Exynos 9611, older mid-range gamingThis 2020 chipset handles everyday apps, video, and light games like Candy Crush smoothly, but will struggle with demanding titles like Genshin Impact or Call of Duty Mobile at medium-high settings.
camera
64MP main, 8MP ultrawide, basic zoomThe 64MP sensor with f/1.8 aperture captures sharp, well-lit daytime shots and the 8MP ultrawide fits more people into group photos, but there is no telephoto zoom, so distant subjects come out soft and small.
durability
Gorilla Glass 3, plastic body, no water ratingGorilla Glass 3 on the screen is standard for this era and resists light scratches, but the plastic back and frame are prone to dents, and there is no IP rating, so rain or spills are a real risk.
