What the reviewers said

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
A refined successor with top performance, a huge battery and strong gaming, though the price rose over the F8 Ultra. Cameras are capable rather than top-tier, but value remains strong…
A value flagship that keeps its predecessor's foundation, adds a bigger battery, a 200MP camera and strong audio, though software and gaming heat hold it back.
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.
