What reviewers say

Both reviews praise performance, the bright flat display and battery life, while finding the shorter telephoto less versatile than the predecessor's periscope. Software opinions differ; Gadgets 360 finds relatively little unwanted software, while 91mobiles criticises the preinstalled apps. Both find the main camera capable, though Gadgets 360 notes weaker ultrawide and telephoto results in low light.
