Battery facts

Capacity 4900 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 70/100
Wired charging power 45 W specification
Charging capability index 70/100 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 Dynamic AMOLED 2x
Size 6.7"
Resolution 1440x3120 px (QHD+)
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 / overall 100/100
Sustained / thermal 92/100

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 79/100

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

Overall camera score 79/100
  • Rear camera setup 50 MP + 12 MP + 10 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 12 MP
  • Third rear lens 10 MP
  • Rear lens count 3 cameras
  • Front / selfie camera 12 MP
  • Optical stabilization (OIS) Not indicated in catalog

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

  • Video 7680x4320 @ 30 fps, 3840x2160 @ 60 fps, 1920x1080 @ 240 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 v14

Operating system and skin listed for this phone.

specification
Android generation Android 14

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: Gorilla Glass Victus 2

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

Connectivity

Confidence: low
Score 82/100

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 44/100
Weak Value
Why this score

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

In plain words: cautious value - peers may offer more for a similar price (Weak Value).

44 /100
Poor deal Fair Great deal

Weak Value

What drives this value score

  • Current price 1,189.99 PKR
  • Configuration Evaluated configuration: 12 GB RAM / 256 GB storage at the current listed price.
  • Relevant peers 8
  • Peer price position Meaningfully above peer median
  • Capability vs peers Comparable to peer capability
  • Premium justification Premium not justified by capability gains
  • Long-term support 71/100
  • Major strengths performance, connectivity, camera
  • Major weaknesses display
  • Value verdict Weak Value
  • Confidence Medium
How this was calculated
  • Weak Value because it is its higher price is not fully justified by capability versus peers, strong in performance and connectivity, 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 v14 - confirm the brand update promise before year 3.

Year 2 Looking solid

Still strong

Battery endurance starts in a healthy place. Runs Android v14 - 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.
