GSMArena80/100Apr 2025
A dependable, no-frills phone that does the everyday things well; good enough rather than a standout value at its price.
-
91mobiles79/100May 2025
Classic Pixel recipe in a compact body with a good screen, reliable cameras and long support; slower than rivals and slow to charge.
-
Tom's Guide90/100Apr 2025
The most well-rounded phone under $500 thanks to AI features, a bright screen, good cameras and battery; reviewed as the US model.
-
Notebookcheck81/100Jun 2025
A good midranger with long runtimes, IP68, wireless charging and long updates, held back by heat throttling and slow charging.
