I've Helio P60 (4, 64) variant. I already knew it was a good phone but I must admit it's 200% better than my expectations!
Detailed Review:
1. Battery:
As soon as I got it, I went into settings and turned on everything that can help save battery. I also turned off battery draining services that I didn't need, like Auto Sync.
In non gaming usage, it consumes 15-20% battery for 10 hours of SCREEN ON TIME. It can vary as streaming videos consumes more battery, but offline videos consume 5% battery for 20+min of video.
In PUBG, HD Graphics, 60 FPS, 100% Brightness, 100% speaker volume (not earphone), GFX Tool, WiFi - it consumes constant 1% battery for 5.5 minutes of PUBG.
I played 15 TDMs to confirm this (A lot of looking around + 8 Players in small area = More battery drain).
That's 9+ hours of PUBG minimum!
Imagine how longer it would last if I had used earphones, reduced graphics and kept brightness at 30% - which is perfect for inside house with lights on.
2. Performance
My phone is ALWAYS on battery saving modes. All of them. Even in Game Space while playing PUBG.
Despite this, PUBG runs butter smooth on HD Graphics! There isn't even a slightest frame drop no matter how much I turn around, drive and number of enemies.
There is no lag even in HDR graphics (GFX). I haven't once felt the need to even test its Performance modes.
3. Fingerprint:
It's lightning fast!
Even if I try to tap and pull away my finger as fast as humanly possible, it still unlocks the phone.
4. Display:
It's sharp and doesn't disappoint in any way.
I was worried about it because people kept saying HD+ on 6.2' screen sucks but now I think people don't know anything about displays and DPI.
Even if I hold it uncomfortably close to my eye, I've to look hard in order to see any rough edges or pixelation.
5. Camera:
It's excellent in daylight but I found mine isn't as good as other users in low-light.
There is a pending update but I haven't installed it because I don't want to risk losing my battery timing.
However, I've installed Gcam for it and pictures are VERY detailed! Even in low-light, I can see pores of my skin in selfies!
The portraits are also excellent from both cameras, even with messy hairs, the edge detection is spot on.
6. Multitasking:
I don't use a lot of apps but it easily keeps all apps running in background for as long as I need (40+ minutes).
I use Facebook, Whatsapp, Messenger, Chrome, MX Player, IDM+, HF Player, YouTube. It also keeps PUBG running in background for 10+ minutes.
7. Heating:
It almost never heats up. Even while playing PUBG, I can hardly tell if it's heating up (I use a back cover though).
I don't even sit in AC. Only time I've felt it "getting warm" is when I play PUBG whilst charging, but it only gets warm to comfortable extent.
8. Weight:
It's surprisingly very lightweight. My previous Samsung was 5 inch with plastic body and this phone is 6.2+ inches.
Yet I can't *feel* any difference in their weight!
I enjoyed this phone and using it more than 6 months. It can PUBGM with Medium Quality, no framedrop unless you activated BSO, Mobile Legends Bang Bang with High Quality. The Battery is quite tough. last more than half a day for playing mobile legends. and last for more than 18hours for non stop anime marathon. Heat up issues only exist when the phone is used for gaming during battery charging. The charging is quite fast since it's adapter support 10w Vooc 2.0 perhaps?(Correct me if i'm wrong) The resolution of Screen is okay for the price realme given. M30 from samsung screen res is better.
