Battery facts

Capacity 7000 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 92/100
Wired charging power 100 W specification
Charging capability index 92/100 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 45/100
Panel OLED
Size 6.78"
Resolution 1440x2160 px (QHD (2k))
Display capability index 45/100
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 / overall 100/100
Sustained / thermal 92/100

CPU

Octa core (4.6 GHz, Dual core, Oryon + 3.62 GHz, Hexa Core, Oryon)
specification medium

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 85/100

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

Overall camera score 85/100
  • Rear camera setup 50 MP + 50 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 50 MP
  • Rear lens count 3 cameras
  • Front / selfie camera 32 MP
  • Optical stabilization (OIS) Not indicated in catalog

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

  • Video Not Available 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 v16

Operating system and skin listed for this phone.

specification
Android generation Android 16

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.

Connectivity

Confidence: low
Score 61/100
Cellular

Wi-Fi

Yes, Wi-Fi

Bluetooth

Connectivity richness index

61/100

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

Value for Money

Confidence: medium
Score 64/100
Fair Value
Why this score

Fair Value because it is priced near the peer median, strong in battery and performance, 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 999.00 PKR
  • Configuration Evaluated configuration: 12 GB RAM / 256 GB storage at the current listed price.
  • Relevant peers 11
  • Peer price position Slightly above peer median
  • Capability vs peers Comparable to peer capability
  • Premium justification Premium only partly justified
  • Long-term support 100/100
  • Major strengths battery, performance, software support, charging
  • Major weaknesses display
  • Value verdict Fair Value
  • Confidence Medium
How this was calculated
  • Fair Value because it is priced near the peer median, strong in battery and performance, 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 v16 - confirm the brand update promise before year 3.

Year 2 Looking solid

Still strong

Battery endurance starts in a healthy place. Runs Android v16 - 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.
