Don’t fall for the hype- your wallet can’t afford the regret.
Price Exploitation Exposed
- Base 12/256GB: ₹47,999 rips ₹10,000 extra over competitors’ loaded 512GB flagships
- 512GB Ripoff: ₹52,999 for storage alone, skipping microSD and wireless peaks
- Amazon traps: Exclusivity spikes fees; Flipkart deals sometimes deliver real savings
Gaming and Battery Betrayals
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 struggles with throttling during 165Hz sessions, while UFS 4.1 lags behind more affordable powerhouses. The 7400mAh battery drains quickly in games and overheats during 80W recharges; despite the IP69K claims. Bloatware-filled Oxygen OS 16 wastes 12GB of RAM on unworthy lag.
Camera and Build Shortcomings
50MP Sony IMX906 daytime shots disappoint in low-light, 8MP ultrawide a joke versus sub-₹30k foes.
Scratch-magnet plastic back undermines Gorilla Glass 7i’s premium feel
No 3.5mm jack, – calculated trade-offs for slim design and immersion.
FINAL WORD
