Midrange
EDITORIAL: Nothing added another layer to their midrange lineup - the first "b" phone. Coming to a saturated field of low-end devices, it features a 6 Gen 4 Snapdragon chip, slower memory then the (4a) and a stripped down imaging setup with good endurance and lovely Android variation loaded with cool design and features.
PROs
very well designed, okay SD 6 Gen 4 with UFS 2.2 performance, 24hr endurance from a 5200mAh (6000mAh in India) lithium battery with sub-90min 33W charging, 1100nits ~380ppi 120Hz AMOLED screen, IP64 protection, some good shots from a 50MP 24mm OIS PDAF main + 8MP 15mm ultrawide, average 16MP selfie, lovely software package with tons of useful AI and other features, Essential Space with a dedicated hardware button
CONs
big, 480Hz PWM dimming frequency screen can cause headaches for some users, unreliable video recording, no expandable memory, only 3 years of OS updates, no desktop replacement functionality, slow USB-C 2.0 port (with OTG)
