What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the bright, colour-accurate screen, comfortable build, useful camera selection and fast wired and wireless charging. Battery life is generally dependable, while the processor and storage fall behind similarly priced performance-focused phones. Camera opinions vary, with TechRadar particularly enthusiastic and other reviews finding weaker secondary cameras or very low-light results; curved edges can also register accidental touches.
