Our verdict

A genuinely well-rounded 2025 mid-ranger: huge 6000mAh battery, a real 3.5x periscope telephoto, and rare IP68/IP69 durability for the class.

Pros

  • 6000mAh battery with 80W charging delivers excellent endurance
  • Real 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto plus a 50MP selfie camera
  • Strong IP68/IP69 rating that is uncommon in mid-range phones

Cons

  • Only an 8MP ultrawide lets down an otherwise strong camera set
  • Dimensity 8350 is capable but not flagship-tier for heavy gaming
