What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the performance and long battery life for the price, but criticise the bulky design and inconsistent cameras. TechAdvisor finds low-light photos weak; Android Authority finds indoor noise reasonably controlled but criticises the processing. TechAdvisor also finds the software confusing, while Android Authority criticises the preinstalled apps on its India sample.
