GoSolo Read / what it means6 takeaways

battery

5000mAh, about 1.5 to 2 daysWith the Helio G36's low power draw and this capacity, you should stretch one charge across a typical day or longer if you skip heavy gaming.

charging

10W wired, roughly 90 minutes fullThat 5000mAh battery needs about an hour and a half to recharge from zero, so plan around slow charging speeds.

display

6.71 inch, 720p at 268 ppiText and icons will show visible pixelation at normal reading distance, and the 90Hz refresh rate does smooth scrolling but does not compensate for the low pixel density.

performance

Helio G36, light apps and 2D games onlyThe Cortex-A53 cores and PowerVR GE8320 GPU can handle messaging, video playback, and casual titles, but modern 3D games with high settings will stutter noticeably.

camera

8MP main, no zoom or night modeDaylight shots will be soft and low-detail; the auxiliary lens is decorative (0.08 MP), and no computational features mean low-light photos will be grainy.

durability

Gorilla Glass 3, no water ratingGorilla Glass 3 is from 2012 and offers basic scratch resistance, but there is no IP rating for dust or water resistance at all.
