Each dot is one review, adjusted for how that publication usually scores; the line is our consensus. The closer the dots sit to the line, the more the reviewers agree.
Where the reviewers agree
The 5x telephoto camera is a standout strength, with good zoom results. — TechRadar, Tech Advisor, Digital Trends, Phonandroid, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews
Battery life is strong, with several reviewers noting multi-day or all-day endurance. — TechRadar, Tech Advisor, Digital Trends, Phonandroid, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews
The display is bright and high quality, with vibrant colours. — Tech Advisor, Digital Trends, Phonandroid, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews
The frame is plastic and feels less premium than aluminium or rival phones. — Tech Advisor, Digital Trends, Phonandroid, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews
Where they disagree
TechRadar and Digital Trends praise the design or performance mostly, while Phonandroid and Trusted Reviews say performance lags rivals; TechRadar calls performance fantastic for the price. — TechRadar, Phonandroid, Trusted Reviews
Digital Trends and TechRadar criticise the plain or generic design, while Tech Advisor calls the design compact and attractive and Trusted Reviews calls it stylish. — Digital Trends, TechRadar, Tech Advisor, Trusted Reviews
Trusted Reviews finds HyperOS less appealing than other Android skins, while TechRadar calls the software brilliant and Tech Advisor calls it feature-packed. — Trusted Reviews, TechRadar, Tech Advisor
Bottom line: Suits buyers wanting a compact, long-lasting phone with a strong telephoto camera at a moderate price. Trade-offs include a plastic frame, no wireless charging, weaker night and ultrawide photography, and mixed views on performance and design.
Summarised with AI from the 6 reviews below — each one is linked in full.
An excellent upper-midrange phone with a strong telephoto camera, long battery life and fast charging, though pricier than last year and less suited to hardcore gamers.
Strong 5x telephoto camera, a clear upgrade over predecessor
Compact, easier-to-handle size than the Pro model
Bright, high-quality OLED display with Dolby Vision and HDR10
A meaningful upgrade over the 15T with better cameras, longer battery life and attractive colours, but mid-range performance lags rivals and HyperOS is less appealing than other Android skins.
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.
