What reviewers say

Both reviewers liked the long battery life, fast charging and smooth everyday use, but found the extra cameras and update commitment limited. Android Authority praised the sharp main camera and display, while criticising weak haptics and shutter lag. Android Central found the LCD hazy and backlit photos unreliable, despite liking its selfie camera.
