What reviewers say

Both reviewers liked battery life, fast charging, the AMOLED display and smooth everyday software. They found video stabilisation disappointing. 91mobiles thought still photos reliable in bright and dim conditions; Gadgets360 was less impressed with low-light detail and the ultra-wide camera. Gaming opinions also differed: 91mobiles found good responsiveness, while Gadgets360 noticed touch-input lag in Call of Duty.
