What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a solid, well-built mid-range phone with a large, colourful screen, good battery life and long software support. The common complaints are performance that trails rivals at the price and few changes from the A36; GSMArena found the ultrawide camera weak and charging slow, while Engadget rated the main camera close to the Pixel 10a's.
