Battery facts

Capacity 6000 mAh
How this was calculated
  • Battery life is never scored from raw mAh alone - mixed-use uses usable Wh and calendar average power (smartphones ~1-2 days; basic phones can last several days).
  • Usage modes (standby, calls, video, gaming, etc.) show measured catalog values when available; otherwise Product Lab estimates.
  • Scenario hours are continuous-use estimates for that activity; mixed daily use is calendar endurance.

Charging Experience

Confidence: medium
Score 82/100
Wired charging power 80 W specification
Charging capability index 82/100 estimated
How this was calculated
  • Charging duration is never calculated as Capacity / Charger Wattage.
  • Capability score uses wattage bands only - charge minutes stay hidden without measured times.

Display Quality

Confidence: medium
Score 55/100
Panel LTPO AMOLED
Size 6.78"
Resolution 1264x2780 px (FHD+)
Display capability index 55/100
How this was calculated
  • Display score uses panel tech, refresh curve, brightness, density, and HDR â€" not refresh alone.

Sustained Performance & Thermals

Confidence: medium
Score 100/100
Sustained 92/100

Peak = short bursts of speed. Sustained = speed that lasts when the phone heats up.

Peak silicon index (catalog model)

100/100
estimated medium

How strong the chip looks for everyday apps, multitasking, and games - from catalog silicon tier, not a lab stress test.

Sustained thermal index (catalog model)

92/100
estimated medium

How well performance holds when the phone gets warm during longer sessions.

How this was calculated
  • Peak and sustained remain separate; sustained uses thermal retention by silicon tier when lab throttling data is absent.

Camera Quality

Confidence: medium
Score 82/100

Think of this as overall photo/video usefulness - megapixels alone do not make a great camera.

Overall camera score 82/100
  • Rear camera setup 50 MP + 8 MP + 50 MP

    All rear lenses listed in the catalog.

  • Main lens 50 MP

    Primary rear camera resolution (MP is only one quality factor).

  • Secondary rear lens 50 MP
  • Third rear lens 8 MP
  • Rear lens count 3 cameras
  • Front / selfie camera 16 MP
  • Optical stabilization (OIS) Not indicated in catalog

    OIS helps reduce blur in photos and video when your hands move.

  • Video 4k @ 60 FPSFull HD @ 240 FPSHD @ 480 FPS fps
How this was calculated
  • Megapixels alone do not dominate â€" architecture, stabilization, and video pipeline are weighted.
  • Estimated capability index used when no verified lab IQ measurement exists.

Software & Security Longevity

Confidence: low

Longer software support means safer apps and newer features for more years - important if you keep phones 3-4 years.

Update runway Not scored yet

No published support end-date in catalog, so we do not invent a longevity score.

OS / UI Android v15

Operating system and skin listed for this phone.

specification
Android generation Android 15

Newer generations usually start with a longer update runway - only brand promises confirm how long.

specification
Brand update promise Not published in catalog

We do not invent OS/security year promises. Ask the brand or wait for official policy.

specification
How this was calculated
  • No generic Android/iOS lifespan assumed.
  • Numeric software score hidden without support end/remaining data.

Durability & Repairability

Confidence: low
Frame

Back: Mineral Glass

How this was calculated
  • No durability score from materials alone without enough evidence.

Connectivity richness index

82/100

How this was calculated
  • Global capability facts only â€" no carrier compatibility claims without data.
  • Richness index counts verified radios/features, not network quality.

Audio Quality

Confidence: low
Speakers Yes
Audio tech USB Type-C
How this was calculated
  • Hardware features are separate from measured audio quality.

Value for Money

Confidence: medium
Score 62/100
Fair Value
Why this score

Fair Value because it is its higher price is not fully justified by capability versus peers, strong in performance and software support, weaker in display, long-term software support supports ownership value.

In plain words: fair value - you get roughly what you pay for versus nearby peers (Fair Value).

Fair Value

What drives this value score

  • Current price 1,069.48 PKR
  • Configuration Evaluated configuration: 16 GB RAM / 512 GB storage at the current listed price.
  • Relevant peers 11
  • Peer price position Meaningfully above peer median
  • Capability vs peers Comparable to peer capability
  • Premium justification Premium only partly justified
  • Long-term support 100/100
  • Major strengths performance, software support, battery, charging
  • Major weaknesses display
  • Value verdict Fair Value
  • Confidence Medium
How this was calculated
  • Fair Value because it is its higher price is not fully justified by capability versus peers, strong in performance and software support, weaker in display, long-term software support supports ownership value.
  • Value is peer-relative capability vs price positioning with premium justification — never Score÷Price.
  • Diminishing returns applied to capability utility so mid-range gains matter more than top-end points.
  • Verified weaknesses reduce value; missing data does not.

3-4 Year Ownership / Long-Term Value

Confidence: low

A simple year-by-year ownership outlook based on battery, software, and durability evidence — not a guaranteed prediction.

Year 1 Looking solid

Fresh ownership

Battery endurance starts in a healthy place. Runs Android v15 - confirm the brand update promise before year 3.

Year 2 Looking solid

Still strong

Battery endurance starts in a healthy place. Runs Android v15 - confirm the brand update promise before year 3.

Year 3 Plan ahead

Watch the weak spots

Expect noticeable battery wear for heavy users by year 3. Brand update years are not clearly published - verify before keeping long-term.

Year 4 Plan ahead

Keep-or-replace year

Expect noticeable battery wear for heavy users by year 4. Brand update years are not clearly published - verify before keeping long-term.
