What reviewers say
Tech Advisor and TechRadar like the everyday speed, bright OLED, comfortable glass-and-metal build, strong stereo speakers and rapid charging. Both find the cameras short of flagship standards, particularly the ultrawide and unstabilised telephoto, and criticise the intrusive preinstalled software. TechRadar is happier with the main camera and endurance than Tech Advisor, which finds inconsistent camera results and less impressive battery life relative to other large-battery phones. Both report heat and reduced sustained performance under demanding workloads.
