GoSolo Read / what it means6 takeaways
performance
Snapdragon 630, 4GB RAMThe 2.2 GHz octa-core chip and 4GB memory handle everyday apps and light browsing, but gaming and multitasking will feel sluggish.
battery
2870 mAh, roughly one day light useWith modest screen-on time, about 4 to 5 hours of continuous use, you will need to charge daily if you are active.
display
6.0-inch 1080×2520, 60Hz IPSThe 457 ppi and IPS panel are sharp enough for reading, but 60 Hz scrolling will feel noticeably less smooth than newer phones.
storage
64GB internal plus microSD to 512GBThe 64GB base is tight after the OS; a microSD card is nearly essential for photos and media.
durability
IP68 water/dust rating, Gorilla Glass 6The IP68 rating handles submersion to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes, and the Gorilla Glass 6 resists everyday scratches.
connectivity
4G LTE only, no 5GLTE bands cover common frequencies (850, 900, 1800, 2100 MHz), but you are limited to 4G speeds even where 5G is available.
