What reviewers say

ZOL and AnTuTu praised the build and steady 60 fps gaming. ZOL found strong battery endurance and comfortable ceramic construction. AnTuTu’s January 2025 test throttled with enhanced 120 fps gaming, unlike its stable standard mode; its camera samples mainly illustrate the Pro, so ZOL’s favourable camera assessment applies specifically to this model.
