What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the display, battery life, fast charging and flat design, with capable everyday performance and useful daylight photos. Both flag software glitches, limited video recording and weaker low-light results. Expert Reviews sees only a modest generational advance, while Tech Advisor finds a dependable, appealing all-rounder rather than a standout.
