A bold modular phone with great concept and battery life, but weak display, graphics, software support and camera speed hold it back.

  • Modular outfit system with easy-to-swap parts and open-source platform
  • Excellent battery life from 5,000 mAh cell
  • Sharp daylight photos from 108 MP main camera
  • Repairable design with long-term support focus
  • Solid performance for everyday tasks and light gaming
  • Low-resolution, dim display with weak colours
  • Only two Android updates and three years of security patches
  • Weak Adreno 613 GPU struggles with demanding games
  • Slow shutter and poor low-light photos
  • Slow 33W wired charging with no wireless charging built in

Its screen is weak, but easy home repairs for the battery, screen and USB port make it a sensible pick for accident-prone users, families and budget buyers.

  • Easy at-home repairs for battery, screen and USB port
  • Eye-catching industrial design with visible screws
  • Rear pogo pins support accessories like ring light and controller
  • Strong 50MP selfie camera
  • Generally fine everyday performance
  • Below-average 720p display with modest brightness
  • No ultrawide rear camera
  • Slow storage causes loading delays and app switching hitches
  • Weak speakers lacking bass and warmth
  • No charger included in the box

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.
