What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the slim design, smooth screen and stabilised video, but find battery life and charging less convincing than rivals. TechAdvisor favours the main camera over the ultrawide, while TechRadar notes exposure and selfie-processing problems; their software impressions differ between the busier global interface and cleaner European version.
