What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the 14 Pro has an outstanding display with the new Dynamic Island and always-on mode, excellent cameras led by the 48MP main sensor, and class-leading performance. Tom's Guide and GSMArena found battery life middling, and GSMArena found the phone heavy for its size; TechRadar criticised the 3x zoom limit, the Lightning port and the price.
