What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the slim design, bright screen, capable cameras and long battery life, while finding the slippery body and single speaker disappointing. Everyday performance is smooth, but Android Headlines finds demanding gaming and zoomed photos less convincing, and 91mobiles notes occasional mistouches from the curved display.
