A zoom lens for under $500

If you buy through a link here, the store pays me a small commission. Your price stays exactly the same. How that works.
My short take
It has a 50 MP 3.5x periscope telephoto and 15.27 hours in GSMArena's active-use test, but GSMArena says the IP65 rating isn't competitive and camera performance is inconsistent across zoom levels. I'd buy it if you want a real zoom lens for under $500.
