What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the uninterrupted display, performance and build, while noting the bulky body, preloaded apps and ordinary camera results. Android Authority gets two days from light use, whereas TechRadar sometimes needs a top-up during heavy use. Android Authority also finds the fingerprint reader slow and unreliable.
