What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the long battery life, display and solid construction, but find the ultra wide camera less capable than the main camera. TechRadar and Android Central report smooth everyday performance; Android Central and Notebookcheck also find throttling during long tests. They note the absence of wireless charging and immersion protection.
