Battery facts
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: lowHow 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: mediumHow this was calculated
- Display score uses panel tech, refresh curve, brightness, density, and HDR â€" not refresh alone.
Sustained Performance & Thermals
Confidence: mediumPeak = short bursts of speed. Sustained = speed that lasts when the phone heats up.
SoC
Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 MSM8996 ProGPU
Adreno 530RAM
6 GBStorage
128 GBCPU
Quad core (2.35 GHz, Dual core, Kryo + 1.6 GHz, Dual core, Kryo)Peak silicon index (catalog model)
45/100How strong the chip looks for everyday apps, multitasking, and games - from catalog silicon tier, not a lab stress test.
Sustained thermal index (catalog model)
29/100How 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: mediumThink of this as overall photo/video usefulness - megapixels alone do not make a great camera.
Larger circle = main rear camera
-
Rear camera setup 16 MP
All rear lenses listed in the catalog.
-
Main lens 16 MP
Primary rear camera resolution (MP is only one quality factor).
-
Rear lens count 1 cameras
-
Front / selfie camera 16 MP
-
Optical stabilization (OIS) Indicated in catalog
OIS helps reduce blur in photos and video when your hands move.
-
Video 3840x2160 @ 30 fps1280x720 @ 120 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: lowLonger software support means safer apps and newer features for more years - important if you keep phones 3-4 years.
No published support end-date in catalog, so we do not invent a longevity score.
Operating system and skin listed for this phone.
specificationNewer generations usually start with a longer update runway - only brand promises confirm how long.
specificationWe do not invent OS/security year promises. Ask the brand or wait for official policy.
specificationHow this was calculated
- No generic Android/iOS lifespan assumed.
- Numeric software score hidden without support end/remaining data.
Durability & Repairability
Confidence: lowCase: MetalBack: Metal
How this was calculated
- No durability score from materials alone without enough evidence.

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: mediumWeak Value because it is priced near the peer median, strong in connectivity, weaker in software support and battery, software longevity is limited relative to a 7-year reference.
In plain words: weak value at this price versus similar phones (Weak Value).

Confidence Medium
How this was calculated
- Weak Value because it is priced near the peer median, strong in connectivity, weaker in software support and battery, software longevity is limited relative to a 7-year reference.
- 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: lowA simple year-by-year ownership outlook based on battery, software, and durability evidence — not a guaranteed prediction.
Fresh ownership
Battery is only average - plan charging habits carefully. Runs Android v6.0.1 (Marshmallow) - confirm the brand update promise before year 3.
Still strong
Battery is only average - plan charging habits carefully. Runs Android v6.0.1 (Marshmallow) - confirm the brand update promise before year 3.
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.
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.
Evidence used
How this was calculated
- No fabricated total cost of ownership or invented repair/battery-replacement prices.
- Factual long-term factors only.
