What the reviewers said

Phonandroid FR

No scoreNov 2, 2026

A solid mid-range phone with good stability, battery life and colour accuracy, but weak peak brightness and performance for its price; the 200MP sensor is its only real differentiator.

Excellent colour accuracy in the natural display mode
Very stable performance with no throttling
Good estimated battery life, around 19 hours
Comfortable, light design that is easy to hold
Clean Moto UI with Android 16

Peak manual brightness of only 488 nits
Performance trails rivals like Honor 600 and Nothing Phone (4a) Pro
IP64 only, not waterproof, and plastic frame
No ultra-wide or telephoto camera
Weak audio recording and poor night zoom quality

78/100Oct 1, 2026

Long battery life and a bright, color-accurate AMOLED screen make it a buy, though it trails rivals in power and camera flexibility.

Very long battery life from 6500 mAh cell
Bright, color-accurate AMOLED display with high PWM frequency
High-quality build and clean workmanship
Good main camera in low light
Fast, reliable in-display fingerprint sensor

Competition is more powerful in this price range
Camera system lacks zoom capability
No protection against submersion (IP64 only)
Comparatively slow Wi-Fi speeds in testing
Security patches not fully up to date at testing

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. 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.
