The A18 Pro chip is perfect for everyday use.
The 8GB of RAM do not slow down the device.

Reflections: The non-laminated screen is bothersome outdoors.
USB Eccentricity: A slow USB 2.0 port in 2026 seems out of place.
Equipment: No Touch ID and no keyboard backlight on the base model.
8 GB of RAM: For bold technological multitasking.
