  • Bright OLED 120Hz display with good HDR
  • Massive 6500mAh battery with 90W charging in box

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.
