What reviewers say

Both reviews praise the rear cameras, bright display, battery life and fast charging, while criticising unwanted apps and some camera processing. Software results differ; 91mobiles finds everyday performance consistently smooth, whereas MySmartPrice encounters stutters and bugs. MySmartPrice also finds the build less premium, while 91mobiles likes the design but warns it can be slippery.
