  • Negativecrappy display

... The battery life of the smartphone is decent, but the competition is still a bit better in this respect. Once it is empty, patience is required: it takes two and a half hours from 0 to 100. The performance of the Unisoc processor lags behind the rest of the field.

It does have certain weaknesses (camera, display, speed in enduring apps), but these can be tolerated given the price.

This test report belongs to a different type: G21 (64 GB, Dusk, 6.50", Hybrid Dual SIM, 64 Mpx, 4G)
