    In 2019, I think it would have been possible to use a stronger Helio P70 system chip instead of Helio P35. These mobile phones usually come with hardware half a year earlier. I still remember how many MediaTek MT6950T phones were launched, even when they had much faster SoCs.
    Otherwise the price could be cheaper even if you got a huge battery:
