- Camera performance in low light or challenging lighting may be average; auxiliary AI lens helps less than big sensors or premium lenses.
- No wireless charging and likely fewer software updates compared to premium brands.
- Size and durability features add weight and bulk; for those who want very slim phones, it might feel heavy.
