Where the reviewers agree
Battery life is excellent, with the 7,000mAh version lasting two or more days. — TechRadar, Tech Advisor, Android Police, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews
The AMOLED display is bright and high quality, with a high refresh rate. — TechRadar, Tech Advisor, Phonandroid, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews

Preinstalled bloatware and software clutter are a drawback. — Tech Advisor, Android Police, Phonandroid, PC-Welt
Where they disagree
TechRadar calls the design premium and light, while Trusted Reviews says the all-plastic frame and body feel cheap. — TechRadar, Trusted Reviews
Gaming and performance are judged differently: Tech Advisor says it heats up and struggles with demanding games, while PC-Welt calls everyday performance solid and Android Police says it stutters under multitasking. — Tech Advisor, PC-Welt, Android Police
Value differs: Tech Advisor and PC-Welt see good value, while Phonandroid says its 80 euro price increase dents value. — Tech Advisor, PC-Welt, Phonandroid

A mid-range phone whose large battery option, strong display and solid performance make it a good value, though software clutter and weak update support hold it back.
Very long battery life, especially the 7000 mAh version
Bright, high-resolution display with high refresh rate
Unique textured, Pantone-colored design
IP68/IP69 water and dust protection
Solid everyday performance for the price
Bloatware and heavy software customizations
Limited update promise: three OS, five security years
A mid-range phone with weak gaming performance and a plastic build, but its huge silicon-carbon battery and decent charging make it a strong low-maintenance choice.
Very long battery life with 7000mAh capacity
Solid maximum screen brightness outdoors
Fairly fast 68W wired charging
Good display quality with vivid AMOLED panel
Respectable stereo speakers for the price
Gaming performance is weak; Fortnite struggles at high settings
Rear camera bump includes a non-functional dummy camera
Camera is slow to launch and process images
All-plastic frame and plastic body feel cheap
Curved screen causes reflection distortion; no telephoto zoom
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.
