What the reviewers said

Tech Advisor UK

3/5Aug 7, 2025

A long-lasting, sturdy budget 5G phone undermined by a low-resolution LCD, weak camera and limited performance; rivals are better overall.

  • Exceptional battery life, around 19 hours in PCMark test
  • IP65 dust and water resistance plus MIL-STD 810H shock rating
  • Cheaper than key budget rivals at £179
  • Solid build with frosted, fingerprint-resistant back
  • 720p LCD display looks soft and washed out
  • Camera struggles with highlights and low light
  • No ultrawide or telephoto camera
  • Modest 4GB RAM and Dimensity 6300 performance
  • Mono speaker and large bezels feel cheap
