What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the distinctive styling, customisable software, strong performance and dependable battery life. Camera judgements differ: TechAdvisor and TechRadar find processing and dynamic range disappointing, while Android Central likes the improved portraits and selfies. Glyph lighting remains limited in practical use, and the slippery build and splash-only protection are recurring compromises.
