What the reviewers said

Tech Advisor UK

4.5/5Jul 22, 2026

Excellent performance and battery for the money, with compromises in software bloat and cameras. A strong budget gaming pick, though not an instant recommendation.

  • Brilliant performance for the price
  • Impressive battery life and 100W charging
  • Great bright flat 120Hz display
  • IP68 rating at this price
  • Reasonable software update support
  • Fussy HyperOS software with bloatware
  • Weak ultrawide camera
  • No telephoto; zoom results poor
  • Camera can overexpose and struggles in low light
  • Screen protector picks up marks easily

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.
