What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

3/5Dec 7, 2022

A great camera system and bold design, but a pricey 4G-only phone without Google apps or Play Store access, hard to recommend to most buyers.

  • Fun, versatile triple camera with strong periscope zoom
  • Excellent IP68 water and dust resistance
  • Eye-catching design with curved glass
  • Very powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 peak performance
  • Good colour accuracy and default display mode
  • Severe thermal throttling under sustained load
  • No 5G mobile internet, 4G only
  • Expensive for what it offers
  • No Google apps or Google Play access
  • Weak AppGallery and reliance on third-party app installers
