What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the performance, display, build and fast charging, but find the auxiliary cameras weak. Android Authority gets around a day and a half of battery life; The Indian Express expects a moderate day and warns heavier use may need charging sooner. The Indian Express is more critical of low-light photos; Android Authority also criticises system ads.
