Cons
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
The screen is limited to 60 Hz. Coming from a 120 Hz phone, scrolling feeds and menus can feel less fluid. It matters less for video and static pages, but it is worth considering if smooth interface motion is important to you.
The MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme is primarily aimed at everyday use. Messages, video and navigation are within its comfort zone, but demanding games need lower graphics settings. A high screen refresh rate does not guarantee matching frame rates in every game.
There is no dedicated telephoto camera. Distant subjects rely on digital zoom, which loses fine textures as you zoom further. A phone with optical zoom is more convenient for concerts, wildlife or portraits from a distance.
