What reviewers say

Good

  • Distinctive design
  • IP68/69/69K protection
  • Smooth, punchy display
  • About 12 h screen-on, a two-day phone
  • Capable main camera
  • Fair performance for the price
  • No major heating in games

Not so good

  • Video limited to 1080p30
  • Many preinstalled apps
  • Selfies give skin a reddish tint
  • No ultrawide camera
  • Video capped at 1080p30
  • Heavy
  • Cluttered software
  • Beebom85/100Sep 2026

    Not a spec-sheet champion, but a sensible mid-ranger that wins its segment on screen, toughness and battery.

  • Exhibit.tech83/100Oct 2026

    Built for endurance: a convincing pick at its price if battery, toughness and a good screen matter most.

  • Notebookcheck76/100Oct 2026

    A mixed bag: great screen, stamina and toughness for little money, but slow and weak in low light (global 8,340mAh model).

  • Batista70Phone83/100Oct 2026

    Lots of battery with a few compromises (Italian review of the global model; score and summary via Notebookcheck's listing).
