What reviewers say

Reviewers praise its fast performance, bright 165 Hz display and long battery life with quick charging. Both found it runs hot under sustained load and that the cameras fall short in low light or versatility; Notebookcheck also points to the plastic build, the USB 2.0 port and the global model's smaller battery than the Chinese and Indian versions.
