  • The Mobile Indian86/100Mar 2025

    Polished, balanced phone that is about overall experience rather than speed; gamers should look elsewhere.

  • GSMArena80/100Mar 2025

    Well built with a good screen, video and selfies, but cheaper rivals beat it on photos, speed, battery and charging; wait for a price cut.

  • TechRadar90/100Apr 2025

    Tough, good-looking mid-ranger with clean software and good photos; an easy pick unless you game heavily.

  • Tom's Guide80/100Mar 2025

    Well-rounded and good value; very good at almost everything except raw performance.
