What reviewers say

Reviewers rate the 17 Ultra among the best camera phones available, with a superb main camera and telephoto, and praise its speed, display and fast charging. The common complaint is the high price; Android Authority found HyperOS bloated, and Digital Camera World thought the zoom range modest and close focusing weaker than on the 15 Ultra.
