The camera setup is also impressive, with a triple-camera configuration that can capture high-quality photos and videos. The phone's performance is satisfactory, handling everyday tasks such as browsing, watching videos, and playing games like Mobile Legends and Asphalt 9 without any issues. However, it does heat up quickly when gaming, which might be a concern for some users.
