What reviewers say

Both reviews praise the metal build, smooth performance, screen and value, while questioning the lack of a firm update commitment. Android Authority particularly likes the speakers but finds the keyboard limited; GadgetByte considers the audio average. Their test results differ on HDR playback and whether FocusFrame works in Google Meet.
