What reviewers say

Reviewers appreciate the compact, colourful design, bright screen, all-day battery life, fast charging and long update commitment. Both find the cameras useful in daylight but less convincing in low light or at high zoom. Assessments of gaming and speakers differ, with TechRadar finding more limitations, while Tech Advisor reports frustrating touch and camera-app glitches.
