What reviewers say

Lowyat and 91mobiles praise the slim, durable design and vibrant display, but find performance suited mainly to everyday tasks and cameras weaker than similarly priced rivals. Lowyat reports two-day battery endurance, while 91mobiles finds a comfortable day but disappointing test results. Both consider stronger alternatives available for power users and photographers.
