Some disagreement · 6 reviews
Suits buyers wanting a compact, light flagship with top performance, long battery life and very fast charging. Trade-offs are a high price, a modest step up from the Xiaomi 15, and weaker ultrawide and telephoto cameras.

Suits buyers wanting a large, bright 120Hz screen, long battery life and fast charging on a budget. Trade-offs are average cameras, cluttered software, and no wireless charging or microSD; the phone is also heavy.
