What reviewers say

Notebookcheck and Tech Advisor praise unusually long battery endurance, smooth everyday performance and a bright display. Both found the cameras limited, especially for detail and low-light shots. Tech Advisor also encountered charging cable compatibility problems and a loose USB connection on its review unit. Its bulky body is a trade-off for the large battery.
