What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the vivid display, smooth gaming, long battery life and capable cameras, while finding the software heavily customised and the AI tools less convincing than rivals. Camera judgements differ, with Tech Advisor praising low-light photography but Tom's Guide finding its night image washed out; Tech Advisor also finds the ultrawide less dependable.
