What reviewers say

Both reviews praise the display, performance, main and ultrawide cameras, and smooth stabilised video, while criticising software clutter and the slippery finish. Tech Advisor finds the zoom cameras impressive, whereas Android Authority wants better long-range detail and more consistent colours. Battery life is adequate rather than a highlight.
