What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

3/5Sep 21, 2022

A niche slide-out physical keyboard phone with a uniquely good typing experience, but big, heavy, slow and overpriced for what it offers.

  • Unique full mechanical QWERTY keyboard that types very well
  • Wireless charging
  • Two USB-C ports allow charging while using peripherals
  • Generous 128GB internal storage with microSD expansion
  • Very big, thick and heavy for everyday pocket use
  • Unbalanced display with oversaturated colours and 60Hz refresh
  • Performance is weak for the price
  • Camera results below mid-range phones
  • Expensive at £729 for the specs offered

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.
