What the reviewers said

6.5/10Jun 10, 2026

A mixed budget phone with a standout display and battery, held back by weak cameras, limited memory and a high price.

  • Excellent bright AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh
  • Large battery lasting about two days
  • Fast 45W wired charging
  • Attractive, lightweight and durable IP69K design
  • Software is smooth and feature-rich
  • Cameras underwhelming, noisy in low light
  • Video limited to Full HD, no 4K
  • Limited memory options; no microSD-free expansion trade-offs
  • Weak haptic vibration
  • Price high relative to competing phones

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.
