A striking, well-proportioned foldable with strong hardware, held back by software polish, thermals, and China-only availability.

  • Strong battery life and daily performance
  • XRing O3 chip is impressive
  • Attractive cherry red finish
  • Periscope-style 3.5x telephoto camera

  • Thermal throttling during sustained workloads
  • No stylus support
  • China-only availability; warranty and support concerns

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.
