Where the reviewers agree
The cameras are a strength, with strong main and telephoto performance. — Android Central, SmartWorld, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews
The price is too high, up significantly from the predecessor. — SmartWorld, Phonandroid, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews
The 144Hz display is bright and smooth, with a strong screen overall. — SmartWorld, Phonandroid, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews
The phone supports fast 80W charging and has an IP69K dust and water rating. — Android Central, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews
Where they disagree
Battery life is praised by Android Central and SmartWorld but criticised as below average by Phonandroid and short of spec by Trusted Reviews. — Android Central, SmartWorld, Phonandroid, Trusted Reviews
Android Central and Trusted Reviews both report throttling under sustained load, while Phonandroid reports heating and stability problems. — Android Central, Trusted Reviews, Phonandroid
Bottom line: Suits buyers wanting a compact premium phone with strong cameras and a bright display who accept a high price. The main trade-offs are price, battery life that reviewers rate inconsistently, and sustained-load performance.

A compact flagship-class camera phone with a striking new rear design and long battery life, held back by throttling, a price bump, and limited updates. The recent price cut makes…
Flagship-level cameras with strong telephoto and wide lenses
Compact, easy-to-use design with good build quality
Vibrant, bright 6.32-inch AMOLED display
Long-lasting battery with fast 80W charging
IP68/IP69K dust and water resistance
Throttles under sustained gaming loads
Launch price higher than predecessor, though since cut
Software update support trails Samsung and Google
Fingerprint sensor sits awkwardly low on the screen
A compact, well-rounded Oppo phone with a strong screen and a new Snap Key, but its high price, weak battery and stability hurt it; the predecessor is the better buy.
Excellent display colour accuracy in Standard mode
Compact design with IP69K rating
New customizable Snap Key button
Solid Dimensity 8550 performance for its class
Good video capture up to 4K 60fps
Launch price over 1000 euros, up 300 euros from predecessor
A strong camera setup and solid build make it a capable upper-mid-range phone, but the big price rise and disappointing real-world battery life temper the appeal.
Strong, consistent four-camera setup
Metal and glass build with high IP68/69K rating
Loud stereo speakers
Bright, smooth 144Hz OLED display
Includes 80W charger in the box
Real-world battery life falls short of 6700mAh spec
Significantly more expensive than the previous generation
Relatively thick and chunky design
Mid-tier MediaTek chip throttles under sustained load
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.
