8/10Sep 25, 2026

A huge battery, strong performance, and impressive Bose-tuned speakers give it a distinct personality among value flagships, though it is heavy and US buyers must import it.

Gigantic battery with top-tier battery life
Flagship-grade performance with strong benchmark results
Bose-tuned speakers are genuinely impressive
Fast 100W wired charging
Very good 5x telephoto camera

Heavy at 235g and tiring for one-handed use
Fiberglass rear lacks premium flagship tactility
Ultrawide and selfie cameras could be better
Can get very hot under prolonged synthetic loads
No conventional US retail launch; must import

4.5/5Sep 15, 2026

A strong flagship-class performer with a huge battery and great screen; the price rise over the F8 Ultra is justified but cameras are not top-tier.

Exemplary performance and gaming ability with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
Enormous 8,050mAh battery with fast charging
Well priced for the specs compared with Samsung and Google flagships
Excellent large display with high refresh rate
Strong speakers including a Bose-tuned subwoofer

Costs more than the predecessor F8 Ultra
Cameras are capable but not top-tier
185Hz refresh only in a couple of games
Only four years of Android updates
