What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

4/5Jun 23, 2023

Still the best small-sized Android phone, with strong performance and capable cameras, held back by rear finish durability, slow charging and thickness.

  • Very compact footprint for a flagship
  • Top-tier Snapdragon processor performance
  • High-quality camera hardware, all-Sony sensors
  • Headphone jack retained
  • Good stereo speakers and bright screen
  • Rear polymer finish may scratch and wear
  • Charging is slow
  • Camera image processing lags behind the best
  • Thicker than many small phones
  • No zoom camera

Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
