What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is an excellent phone with a spectacular screen, a standout design and a versatile three-lens camera. Trusted Reviews found the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor a big improvement where GSMArena found it frustrating, and battery life divided them, with GSMArena rating it near class-leading and Trusted Reviews finding the Exynos model's weaker than expected.
