What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the cameras, especially the telephoto, along with the very bright display, fast performance, improved battery life and seven years of updates, and find it good value. Expert Reviews and IT Pro found some AI features gimmicky; Expert Reviews also objected to the European model's smaller battery, and Tom's Guide found selfies over-processed.
