What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a light, compact and well-made phone with an excellent screen, fast performance and a capable camera system. The common complaints are how little has changed from the S24, stale camera hardware and 128GB base storage. TechRadar found battery life long, while GSMArena rated it dependable but behind rivals and criticised the slow 25W charging.
