Sizometry Analysis
Overall Score
7.5
out of 10
A genuinely versatile midrange phone that brings useful stylus functionality and a premium-feeling curved OLED display to an accessible price, held back only by a chipset built for everyday tasks rather than demanding workloads.
Category scores
Camera
7.0
The 50MP main sensor with OIS is capable in daylight and steady for handheld video, though the ultrawide and macro lenses are clearly secondary.
Battery and charging
7.5
5000mAh delivers reliable full-day battery life under typical use, aided by the efficient Dimensity 7020 chipset.
Performance
6.5
The Dimensity 7020 handles everyday apps and casual gaming comfortably but struggles with demanding 3D titles at high settings.
Handling and portability
7.0
190g and a moderately sized frame make this a manageable phone to use one-handed despite the added stylus slot.
Build quality
7.5
A curved OLED display and included stylus give this phone a build that punches above its price tier in perceived quality.
Value
8.5
Genuine stylus functionality, a curved OLED display, and dependable battery life at a midrange price make this an easy recommendation.
Strengths
- Genuinely useful built-in stylus, a rare feature at this price tier
- Curved OLED display that outperforms its price tier in perceived quality
- Capable 50MP main camera with OIS for steady daylight and video shots
Weaknesses
