What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the thin, comfortable design, consistent displays, smooth multitasking and long battery life. Both find versatile rear cameras but criticise processing and weaker low-light or selfie results. MagicOS offers many features but can feel complicated; TechRadar's inner screen protector starts separating after two months, while TechAdvisor reports no damage during its shorter test.
