What the reviewers said
Android Central US
5/5Jan 7, 2025
Reviewer calls it the best Android phone he has used, praising build, display, performance, battery, and camera, with weak spots in AI offline use and update length.
Class-leading build quality with IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance
Fastest processor and strong sustained performance
Excellent display with strong eye-care features
Very long battery life and fast wired and wireless charging
Camera competes with Pixel and Samsung flagships
No Qi2 or integrated magnetic charging support
Most AI tools need internet connectivity
Screen not fully flat, so many screen protectors won't fit
A powerful, long-lasting flagship alternative to Samsung and Google, with a great display and versatile cameras, though camera focus and halo effects hold it back.
Exceptional battery life
Impressive performance from Snapdragon 8 Elite
Top-end bright display
Versatile triple camera setup
Comfortable vegan leather grip and IP68/IP69 resistance
