What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the sharp, smooth screen, stereo sound, fast charging and responsive everyday performance. Their battery and software impressions differ substantially; PhoneArena finds long endurance and a clean, useful interface, while Tech Advisor struggles to reach a full day and dislikes the bundled apps. PhoneArena is also less impressed by shadow detail in photos.
