What reviewers say

TechAdvisor and TechRadar praise the textured design, display and battery life of their 7,000 mAh review units, while finding gaming and cameras less competitive. Both criticise slow AI app search and bloatware; TechAdvisor reported occasional Wi-Fi drops, and TechRadar found Bluetooth interruptions and fingerprint misses. Their endurance findings apply to the larger-battery version.
