What reviewers say

Reviewers agree battery life and the tough build are the highlights, with a good display and clean software. The common criticisms are the single rear camera, with no ultra-wide, and middling performance; GSMArena saw it as a step back from the Nord CE5, with weaker cameras and fewer years of updates.
