What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the larger screen, fast performance, useful software and battery life, with quick charging and good value. Missing water resistance, expandable storage and the older Android version are recurring complaints. Camera verdicts differ; Expert Reviews finds strong low-light results, while Android Authority and TechAdvisor find it behind the best rivals and question the second camera's benefit.
