What reviewers say

AnTuTu and ZOL liked the comfortable moulded body, gaming performance and useful headphone socket. ZOL praised the LCD and colour reproduction; AnTuTu considered the display ordinary for its price and disliked the recessed fingerprint button. Their launch charging tests differed in temperature and protocol; AnTuTu also reported pre-release game frame-rate restrictions.
