Our verdict

A value-focused AMOLED phone with OIS and a big bright screen, but conservative on chipset and OS upgrades.

  • 50MP Sony LYT-600 main camera with OIS, rare at this price
  • 45W fast charging on a 5110mAh battery
  • Security patches committed through December 2028 (4 years)

Cons

  • Only 2 major OS upgrades (vs 3 on the X-series)
  • Dimensity 7025 Ultra has a basic GPU for gaming
  • IP64 rating only protects against splashes, not immersion
Best for: AMOLED + OIS camera on a budgetBest for: Media consumptionAvoid if: You want 3+ years of OS upgradesAvoid if: You need strong gaming performance
