From what I’ve seen, the device appears to be quite good for its category, featuring a decent display and camera capability. Notably, the display supports HDR10, although there are some issues with Netflix due to the device reporting Widevine L3 instead of L1. However, it works fine with YouTube, and you can even switch between SDR and HDR using the built-in conversion toggle. The device also supports Nokia’s OZO Audio.
Overall, it seems like a nice device. I’m still surprised it comes with a 33W charger in the box. It os available for ₹14,499 at the HMD webshop.
Cheers h_1995 for the tip 🙂
