What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

3/5Jul 17, 2023

Beautifully built, top-tier foldable hardware, but restrictive software without Google support, high price and no 5G make it hard to recommend.

  • Best book-style foldable design, thin and light when folded
  • Strong cameras for a foldable, including 5x periscope telephoto
  • Excellent bright, sharp, well-synced inner and outer screens
  • Fast 66W wired charging for a foldable
  • No Google Play or Google Mobile Services support
  • Lots of bloatware in EMUI 13.1
  • Previous-generation Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor
  • Expensive, even for a premium foldable
  • No 5G connectivity

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.
