Okay, let's get this out of the way first: this phone weighs more than my cat. At 577 grams, it's basically a brick with a screen. But holy battery life, Batman!

The 22,000mAh battery is INSANE. I charged this thing on Monday and by Friday it was still at 47%. I'm pretty sure it could power a small village during an outage. The 33W fast charging is nice too - goes from dead to full in about the time it takes to watch an episode of The Office.

Performance-wise? Smooth as butter. The Dimensity 6100+ and ridiculous 24GB RAM (8GB real + 16GB virtual) handle everything I throw at it. Though let's be real - no one actually needs this much RAM unless you're running every app on your phone simultaneously while editing 4K video.

The speaker lives up to the hype - at max volume it could probably scare off bears during my hikes. Sound quality is decent for a phone speaker, though don't expect audiophile levels.

Now the downsides: It's THICC. Like 'barely fits in my cargo pants' thicc. And that military-grade toughness? Well, mine survived a drop from my bike at 15mph with just some scuffs, but another reviewer wasn't so lucky - seems durability might be hit or miss.

Camera is... fine? The 64MP main shooter takes decent daylight shots but struggles in low light despite the night vision claims. Selfies look like they were taken with a potato (sorry Instagram).

Final verdict: If you need an indestructible backup phone for adventures or just hate charging daily, this is your huckleberry. But if you want something sleek for city life... maybe look elsewhere.
