What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the bright AMOLED display, slim design, fast charging and main-camera results. Performance suits everyday use but brings limited gains over its predecessor, and the auxiliary cameras are weaker. Notebookcheck criticises preinstalled apps and finds good battery life, while GSMArena considers endurance merely average.
