What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a polished, powerful all-rounder, praising the large bright screen, improved handling, long battery life and versatile cameras. The common complaints are the S Pen losing its Bluetooth features and the lack of built-in magnets for Qi2 charging; GSMArena also found low-light photos and charging speed behind the best rivals.
