3.5/5Mar 25, 2025

An attractive mid-range phone with a premium look and lightweight build, but held back by middling performance, average cameras, and weak software support.

  • Gorgeous curved-edge pOLED display
  • Slim and lightweight design
  • Reliable battery life
  • Impressive fast charging
  • Mediocre camera performance, especially in low light
  • Software support lags behind competitors
  • Performance falls short of similarly priced rivals
  • Only IP52 water resistance

3.5/5Sep 18, 2024

A thin, light, curved-screen budget phone that is reliable for the money, though rivals at similar prices offer more value.

  • Edgeless curved P-OLED display with 120Hz refresh
  • Thin, light, and comfortable design with vegan leather back
  • Smooth everyday performance and snappy animations
  • Fast 30W charging and solid battery life
  • Main 50MP camera holds up well for the price
  • Lags behind phones at a similar price in benchmarks
  • Ultrawide and low-light camera performance is weak
  • No charger included in the box
  • Speakers lack bass and warmth
  • Gaming performance limited to around 30fps at medium settings

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.
