Please review the data for the Spark 20 Pro Plus again. It has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Additionally, I believe its camera requires another review. I'm also not satisfied with its peak brightness.

It's using the same G99, but the score could be more accurate if you perform the Geekbench 6 test again. Thank you! ;)
