What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the bright screen, strong performance, keyboard and long battery life, while criticising limited promised updates and the missing fingerprint reader. Both find bass limited. TechAdvisor enjoys the spatial-audio effect; TechRadar finds it artificial and recommends disabling it, and is more positive about the software's lack of clutter.
