What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the bright, smooth display, fast software, improved main and ultra wide cameras and added wireless charging and water resistance. They find the body large, with curved-screen accidental touches and weaker zoom and night photography than leading rivals. The colour-filter camera adds little practical value.
