Imagination PowerVR GM9446: Middle class graphics card for smartphones which is integrated in ARM SoCs. Supports OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1, OpenCL 1.2 and Android NN HAL. The performance should be slightly better than a Adreno 430.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Helio P90: ARM based octa-core SoC with 2x big ARM Cortex-A75 cores (2.2 GHz max.) and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores (2 GHz max.). Integrates a Cat-12 (DL) / Cat-13 (UL) LTE Modem (4G), IMG PowerVR GM 9446 GPU and a dedicated AI processing unit.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

79.5%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
