4/5Sep 8, 2026

A solid mid-range phone that covers most bases, but its price increase and modest chipset make it feel overpriced, especially without wireless charging.

  • Compact, durable build with upgraded IP69K rating
  • Solid cameras with good zoom capability
  • Bright AMOLED screen with 3600 nits peak brightness
  • Good software features and useful Snap Key
  • Handles games well despite mid-range chipset
  • Pre-installed bloatware
  • Mind Space chatbot needs work
  • No wireless charging
  • Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 feels underpowered for the price
  • 120Hz refresh rate lower than rivals at this price

A stylish, well-built mid-ranger with strong cameras, a clear display and solid battery life, held back mainly by its price and lack of wireless charging.

  • Stunning design with 3D holographic back and slim build
  • Excellent cameras, especially the telephoto lens
  • Clear, vibrant 120Hz display with high peak brightness
  • Steady performance and solid battery life
  • IP69K dust and water resistance
  • Expensive for a mid-range phone
  • No wireless charging
  • Some software oddities and AI background carousel
  • Phone can get warm under heavy processor load

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.
