What the reviewers said

Tech Advisor UK

3/5Jun 6, 2025

Cheap and stylish with long battery life and strong update support, but sluggish performance and a dim display hold it back; better alternatives exist.

  • Long battery life, lasting well over a day
  • Modern design with IP67 rating
  • Clean One UI software
  • Six years of OS and security updates
  • Feels well-built with Gorilla Glass Victus+ on back
  • Poor performance under multitasking and gaming
  • Display lacks brightness and color punch
  • Cameras disappoint in low light
  • Slow 25W wired charging
  • Ultrawide and macro cameras add little value

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.
