Battery life is a major plus, with at least two days use on heavy usage.
You can game on it (although not amazingly), view content, and take photos/video for social media posts.

Weaknesses

Performance is lacking due to 4GB of RAM and the Dimensity 700 chipset.
The camera is disappointing, especially considering the price point.
The fingerprint scanner is located on the side, which is a stupid idea (according to the reviewer).
The device's overall performance falls behind more expensive options like Oppo, Realme, etc.

Strengths

The phone is priced reasonably affordable at Ringgit Malaysia 749, making it an attractive option for those looking for a budget-friendly 5G smartphone.

The phone comes with 128 gigs of internal storage and can add another 4 gigs of virtual memory on top, making it suitable for everyday use.

Weaknesses

The camera may not perform well in low-light conditions and may require a light source to take decent photos.
