Construction
The little tank name is really a good name for him for it, this smartphone has IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certifications. It's design is really good for this type of phone but it's huger and heavier than common smartphones (not heavy and huge enough to be a burden though). A notable feature that is obvious in the smartphone is the 1200 Lumens camping light (brighter than my room lights 😅). Bellow are some pictures of the box and smartphone.
Temperature
While traveling with him I recorded videos, took pictures and played a heavy game called Genshin Impact. On all situations I didn't noticed heat from the phone, the max temp on the sensor was around 30°c. The highest temperature I noticed was charging at 47°c with 66W fast charge. Having said that this phone also has a 6W TDP CPU so temperature will not be a problem.
Performance
As I said, while traveling I played Genshin Impact. The install was really fast and the gameplay was really smooth.
Geekbench 6
CPU
In terms of benchmark this phone scored 730 points on single core and 2020 points on multi core in Geekbench 6. This is a high enough score for everyday usage and even some heavy gaming.
GPU
On GPU side it score 1300 points on OpenCL and 1281 points on Vulkan, this is a good score for gaming as we will see soon.
Genshin Impact
I played a lot of Genshin Impact on my travel and really liked how smooth the experience was, bellow are screenshots of the lowest and highest graphic config respectively.
Battery
With all awesome features I think this is simply the best! The battery was fine without charging for a whole week and now that I am not using it intensively it's at 50% with 6 days usage. Bellow I'll share some charging screenshots that I took.
Less than 10% charging
50% charging in 45 minutes
61% charging in 1 hour
Full charge in 2 hours and 5 minutes
Camera
