Why This Phone
BudgetAt a verified price of $165, this device is an absolute outlier in terms of value. While the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is a mid-range chip, it is more than capable for the price, and the inclusion of a 144Hz P-OLED display, 68W charging, and OIS-equipped camera hardware at this cost is unprecedented. It is classified as budget due to the price, though its feature set competes with devices twice its cost. Popularity is estimated as high due to the aggressive pricing strategy making it a very competitive option in the entry-level segment.
