GFive Note 25

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The GFive Note 25 has an upside-down camera setup: an 8MP rear camera with a 13MP front, which makes this an odd choice for selfie-first buyers and a strange one for everyone else. At 21,999 PKR, the Helio G85 is genuinely the best chip at this price, and the 5000mAh battery and 64GB storage (with 8GB RAM, though 4GB is extended) are reasonable. The 6.528-inch 720p screen (~269 PPI) is standard budget fare, and the missing dimensions mean the body size is unverifiable. If the front-camera-first arrangement suits your usage, this is a capable cheap phone; otherwise the camera layout is simply backwards for most buyers. The Sego Neo 20 Pro is 2,300 PKR cheaper, and the tables turn on camera. The Sego's 13MP triple rear camera beats the GFive's 8MP rear, and its 5MP front is far weaker than the GFive's 13MP — so the Sego wins for rear photography, the GFive for selfies. The GFive counters with the superior Helio G85 against the Sego's unnamed 1.3GHz MediaTek chip, more RAM (4GB physical against 3GB), while the Sego lists 10W Type-C charging the GFive does not mention. Both are 720p, 5000mAh and 64GB. If rear camera and price matter, the Sego is the value; if the selfie camera and the faster chip win, the GFive justifies the extra 2,300 PKR. Confirm the GFive Note 25 IMEI against PTA's DIRBS — budget GFive units are common unofficial imports.
