What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the display, fast performance, battery life and rapid charging. They like the camera colours and portraits, though TechRadar finds inconsistent cut-outs and zoom detail, and Expert Reviews reports missed focus in close portraits and other shots. All note limited water resistance and the absence of wireless charging.
