What reviewers say

Good

  • Class-leading battery life
  • Bright, sharp 120Hz OLED with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision
  • Fast Dimensity 9500s
  • Good main camera, decent 2x crops
  • 100W charging plus reverse charging
  • Ultrasonic fingerprint, Wi-Fi 7, IR blaster
  • Huge battery and long runtimes

Not so good

  • Heavy
  • No telephoto
  • Basic ultrawide
  • Throttles heavily under sustained load
  • Weak speakers
  • Ads built into the system
  • Only USB 2.0
  • GSMArenaRecommendedMar 2026

    Easy pick for anyone who wants the most phone for the money; a rounded package with few real compromises (tested the 8,500mAh global model).

  • Notebookcheck85/100Jun 2026

    Good choice for people who mainly want battery life and raw speed; buyers after a balanced all-rounder may do better elsewhere (global model).

  • MySmartPrice85/100Apr 2026

    Built for gamers and battery lovers; not for buyers who care most about cameras or clean software (Indian 9,000mAh unit).

  • TechRadarRecommendedApr 2026

    Worth it for anyone after a long-lasting, affordable gaming or work phone, accepting messy software and basic cameras (UK 8,500mAh model).

  • The WeekRecommendedApr 2026

    Good value Indian unit despite the higher price than its predecessor: fast, long-lasting, but big and only average for photos.

  • PhoneArenaRecommended2026

    More a mid-range killer than flagship killer, but strongly recommended for its battery, screen and speed (global model).
