What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

4/5Aug 3, 2023

A reliable, well-built large-screen Android phone with strong performance and long software support, though it feels slightly overpriced and lacks some Ultra features.

  • Comfortable, pocketable size with a big 6.6-inch screen
  • Long battery life
  • Four years of OS and five years of security updates
  • Fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy performance without overheating
  • Versatile triple camera setup
  • Slow wired charging, takes a long time to fill
  • Camera good but struggles to stand out at this price
  • 1080p resolution is less sharp than rivals
  • No Dolby Vision and dim HDR highlights
  • No microSD slot and no WiFi 7 support
