What the reviewers said

Tech Advisor UK

3.5/5Aug 7, 2026

A well-made, stylish budget phone with a big colourful screen and long updates, but sluggish performance, weak cameras and a water resistance downgrade make it an awkward buy.

  • Large, colourful 120Hz display
  • All-day battery life
  • Six years of software updates
  • Attractive, premium-looking design
  • Newer Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset than predecessor
  • Performance can feel sluggish
  • Cameras only okay at best
  • Water resistance downgraded to IP64
  • Battery life no better than predecessor
  • Pricier than the Galaxy A26 it replaces
