Cheap, with an ingress rating.
X6a does the entry-phone basics — big battery, 90 Hz, the legacy ports — and adds an IP53 rating most rivals at the price skip. The Helio G36 is genuinely slow, so this is a phone for calls, messaging and light browsing, bought for the battery and the splash resistance.
