What reviewers say

Both tests found limited performance and an unhelpful macro camera. Tom's Guide praised long battery life and good photos for the price, despite poor sunlight visibility. Android Authority was less positive about value, reporting slow app launches, overnight battery drain and disappointing software support, and preferred spending more on a stronger phone.
