Unboxing
The box comes in green color and has the model name of the phone. As soon as you open the box, the first thing inside is the phone itself, with a removable sticker showing some of the unique features that the device has.
Below is the envelope where the documentation and manual are located. A sim ejector pin is also included in the envelope. A phone casing is also included for added protection for the phone, but what I was not expecting is a screen protector as a freebie, screen protector is already included for you to have extra care on your screen.

If you dig deeper in the box, you will find the power brick and charger cable. The power brick has 5.0V output power while the charger cable has a micro USB for its charging port, which is a bit outdated in my opinion. They both come in white color.
Display and Design
Taking a look at the phone itself, the back is made out of glossy plastic material, and has square-like holographic patterns on it that look very nice.

Around the frame, you have the power button and volume rockers on the right-hand side, on the left is the sim tray slot, and below are the microphone, earphone jack, and the micro USB charging port.
Performance and Battery
Now onto its performance, this device is powered by a MediaTek Helio G25 (12 nm) processor, which is paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. As for the software, it runs on Android 10 (Go edition) with XOS 7 on top.
But above all else, this device really boasts its 6000mAh power capacity, which will give you a power marathon and non-stop playing experience.
Given the power capacity and the chipset attached to the device, they’ve given enough focus on its gaming capability. Having a good amount of internal storage is also a big plus for it to run smoothly while gaming and streaming.
