What’s new

Gizbot describes it as a battery-focused phone, built around a 7,000mAh battery, a 120Hz display and the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chip. FoneArena says the battery is a first for an Ai+ phone. Full reviews are not out yet, so everything below is launch information and early hands-on impressions.

- 91mobiles and FoneArena both note the dual rear camera setup: a 48MP Sony IMX582 main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide. 91mobiles calls the ultra-wide uncommon for phones under Rs 20,000.

Early impressions
91mobiles: 91mobiles spent brief time with the Midnight Black unit and found the camera island and the configurable NxtHalo ring light distinctive. It says the finish shows a dark blue tint at an angle. At 222g, the phone felt noticeably hefty for long use. Scrolling and general interaction on the 120Hz screen felt fluid. It says a full review is coming.
FoneArena: FoneArena unboxed the 8GB + 128GB Midnight Black model and covered the box contents, ports and button layout. It describes the screen as bright, with a flat panel and a small punch-hole. It says the software has no bloatware, and that the glossy plastic back picks up fingerprints easily. It also took camera samples, but its write-up gives no verdict on them.
What reviews will need to show
- How long the 7,000mAh battery lasts in daily use, and how long the 33W charger takes to fill it. Neither figure appears in the launch coverage.
- Whether the Dimensity 7100 performs as well in full testing as 91mobiles’ early AnTuTu figure of around 7,50,000 suggests, since 91mobiles says it has not yet tested the phone in depth.
- Whether the 720×1600 HD+ panel at 6.75 inches (about 256 ppi, per Smartprix) looks sharp enough, and whether the 450-nit brightness figure is enough outdoors.
- What the camera setup produces in real use, including video: FoneArena and Gizbot list 2K 30fps recording, but Smartprix lists 1080p.
- Whether the 3.5mm headphone jack is present, as FoneArena and Gizbot report and FoneArena’s unboxing shows, despite Smartprix’s feature list saying it is not.
