What reviewers say

Reviewers find the Phone (3) distinctive and capable, with clean software, a bright display, a sturdier build and a versatile camera setup, though the design divides opinion. The common criticism is the price against better-equipped rivals; GSMArena found battery life only average and heavy throttling under load, and 9to5Google found photos soft and the Glyph Matrix a gimmick.
