What reviewers say

Both reviews praise the design, smooth display, gaming performance, camera detail and stabilised video. They find battery life sufficient for a day and charging quick. Technobaboy considers the single speaker a missed opportunity; Pinoy Metro Geek finds its sound enjoyable but notes ultrawide distortion.
