What reviewers say

Reviewers like the colour-changing glass, main and selfie cameras, and lasting battery. Both find performance and the ultrawide camera behind rivals, while TechAdvisor also criticises the sharp edges and colour accuracy; uncertain software support and the single speaker weaken the overall package.
