What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

4.5/5Jun 15, 2023

A superb, fast phone with great screen, battery life and camera, held back by a very high price and some design quirks.

  • Fast performance with top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 internals
  • Excellent camera array with versatile optical telephoto
  • Multi-day battery life
  • Dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack and good sound
  • Expandable microSD storage and dual SIM
  • Very expensive, out of step with the market
  • Textured glass back feels like plastic
  • Bloatware is excessive for a phone this price
  • No charger or cable included in the box
  • Low-light camera trails the iPhone 14 Pro

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.
