What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the smooth flat display, fast performance, useful software and very rapid charging. Battery life comfortably covers a day in their tests. They find the cameras less competitive than the display and charging, particularly in low light, and note the absence of wireless charging and an IP rating on unlocked models.
