What reviewers say

Expert Reviews, Tech Advisor and Notebookcheck praised the sharp display and usable main camera but found the Exynos 850 noticeably slow in everyday use. Expert Reviews found battery life adequate but shorter than the A12's, while Tech Advisor liked Samsung's software and camera for the price.
