What reviewers say

Both reviewers praise the performance, long battery endurance, rapid charging and bright display. The versatile cameras and portraits can be excellent, but TechRadar finds processing and focus inconsistent, while both find extreme AI zoom artificial and unreliable. The heavily customised interface divides opinion. Expert Reviews' original five-year update criticism predates the maker's current seven-year commitment.
