pros:-
Good price to performance and great battery life at a competitive price which it is marketed in India. It is likely to be a run away success. Waiting for numerous 3rd party accesories to make full use of the modular backplate

cons:Having non removable battery while having a removable back is a crime. No 3.5mm jack is more of an issue at that price.Atleast it got a SD card slot going for it

    Anonymous, 08 Jul 2024I dont understand what you guys expect from a 200€/$ phone,... moreNo idea who this phone is aimed at but in the UK virtually everybody uses contactless payments plus you need NFC on the London underground etc, I even need it to get into my local football stadium.

          Schlafwandler, 08 Jul 2024I really would like to read the review. But it’s impossible... moreUblock origin it is.

            I really would like to read the review. But it’s impossible on my tablet. STOP those annoying full frame video ads!!! This site has become unusable because of this video ads.

              I'm surprised their engineers went out all the way to make a removable back which ruined the IP rating,and not even let us remove the damm battery. What a massive joke. We want removable batteries. Stop the nonsense.

                Missed opportunity for no-glue-user-removable battery! If you're doing an easy-to-remove back cover, people expect that for the battery too.
                This would've been my back up phone if it had removable battery.

                      You can't pop up the screw...

                        The concept is appreciated but in everything else it falters...

                          Phone is ok, just that. Competition is always welcomed. But for slightly more, u can get nothing phone 2a which is basically one class above and is worth it. Plus, a55 can also be found for less than 300€ now, which is one scale above to. Btw, a35 in 6/128gb version is 220€, and i think that it is better deal. I don't recommend Redmi devices, cause Hyper os is a mess and battery life is disaster.

                              Anonymous, 08 Jul 2024Why would you buy this trash with zero local support instea... moreLocal support? You mean those companies that Samsung makes you send the phone to make use of warranty and they usually sc*m you? A35 6gb version cost 50€ more (CMF has 8gb), worse battery life and a bit worse performance

                                I agree with commenters, this phone is e-waste and absurd
                                - non removable battery
                                - but no IP rating
                                - removable back with screws
                                - but no drop protection
                                - big bezels
                                - but punch hole camera
                                - no 3.5mm jack at this price range
                                - gimmick depth camera but no OIS for main camera
                                - it weights more than S24+ which has 3 actual cameras and a bigger screen

                                  no nfc, no buy

                                    Deliberately making battery non removable, means its a conspiracy. You have a defunct cover to change colours, that's it?!

                                    Now, I'm convinced someone is controlling the smartphone industry. USA, NSA or whoever it is, and they're bothered when someone breaks their tracking systems.

                                    I don't think, we'll ever get another smartphone with user removable battery. Launch one to prove me wrong.
