What the reviewers said

Tech Advisor UK

3.5/5Jul 21, 2025

A respectable, thinner mid-ranger with better software support, but it lags on performance and features versus the wider mid-range market and feels pricey.

  • Thinner and lighter than predecessor
  • Good One UI experience with useful AI additions
  • Improved fast charging
  • Six years of OS and security updates
  • Brighter display and new selfie camera
  • Secondary cameras add little value
  • Weak gaming performance with Exynos 1580
  • Lacklustre speakers
  • Pricey for the features offered
  • Optical fingerprint sensor slow and inconsistent

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.
