Review

As we dived through the ocean of specifications and pricing, let’s move on to a detailed review.

In gaming, the device contains the same Chipset G80 as its predecessor, Narzo 30. The processor gives decent frames on high-graphic games, like BGMI and Call of Duty.

Due to the built form factor, heating issues might happen with long hours of extensive gaming use.

Using it for entertainment consumption won’t give any drawback apart from its one-sided speakers as it tends to block usually in certain angles, making the sound quality defer.

 The screen quality and battery of the device might give you the perfect screen time without any tangling cables.

While usage, the designations of the fingerprint button gives a perfect fit. Still, the user might find the device a bit thick or uncomfortable to hold as its monster battery tends to thicken the form factor.

The user might face difficulties for calls and video conferences due to the single mic interface that degrades the speaker’s audio quality.  

For the value, other competitors in this range like Redmi note 10s tend to provide an upgraded MediaTek chipset but lacks other features like screen and camera.

Concluding, the device might have some flaws but might act exceptional depending on the user’s usage preference.
