⚠️ Where It Falls Short
- RAM / Storage limited to 6 GB + 128 GB with no LPDDR5/UFS 3.1 upgrades.
- Macro/depth sensor lacking impact—could feel incomplete to camera buffs.
- Mid-range chip only, not suitable for heavy gaming.
- Fierce competition exists—Realme, Samsung, and Motorola offer stronger all-rounders around similar price.
