  • Bloat-free operating system
  • Bright, smooth 120Hz OLED display
  • Solid mid-range performance
  • Excellent value for the price
  • No NFC, so no Google Pay
  • Only IP52 rated for dust and water
  • Simple camera setup with fewer lenses
  • Mono speaker sounds tinny
  • Weak haptic motors

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.
