What reviewers say

Both reviewers liked the build, everyday performance, main camera and rapid charging, but found the secondary cameras weak and the price difficult against rivals. Gadgets360 praised battery life and HDR playback; Android Authority found battery life average, display tint and restricted high-refresh gaming in its test. Both criticised missing wireless charging and an IP rating.
