What reviewers say

Both reviews praise the cameras, performance, display and battery life, but warn about China-only availability and software compatibility. Digital Camera World criticises selfie video stabilisation and microphones, while Android Central finds strong rear video results. Wallet works for Android Central but rejects a card for Digital Camera World; both encounter notification and smartwatch problems.
