What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the bright AMOLED display, capable main camera, fast charging, stereo speakers and strong performance for its class. GSMArena finds camera processing sometimes unnatural and battery endurance unimpressive, while Notebookcheck rates battery life favourably but criticises preinstalled apps and advertising. The auxiliary cameras are less capable than the main camera.
