What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the long battery life and strong performance for the price, and GSMArena found the main and selfie cameras excellent. Both saw it as a partial step back from the Nord 4, with a plastic build and a smaller battery in Europe; GSMArena also found the ultra-wide camera disappointing and rivals better value at launch.
