What reviewers say
Tech Advisor and TechRadar praise the bright screen, useful main and telephoto cameras, responsive software and battery life. Tech Advisor finds demanding gaming limited and the ultrawide weak in low light; TechRadar is more positive about gaming but finds dark display detail imperfect. Both see capable hardware, with Tech Advisor questioning value against discounted older models.
