Pros & cons
The 6.67-inch Super AMOLED screen combines a sharp 1080x2400 resolution with smooth 120 Hz movement. Peak brightness of 1200 nits also keeps it readable outdoors.
The 5000 mAh battery comfortably handles a full day, delivering about 16 hours and 21 minutes in testing. Its 33 W charging takes roughly an hour from 20% to full.
5G support makes the phone suitable for faster mobile networks. UFS 2.2 storage also helps apps install and open promptly.
The 48 MP main camera is joined by an 8 MP ultra-wide camera for landscapes and group photos. Autofocus and the f/1.8 aperture help produce clean daylight pictures.
The Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 and 4 GB of RAM are comfortable for everyday apps but leave limited room for demanding games. Heavy titles will need reduced graphics settings.
Rear video is capped at 1080p and 30 frames per second. Moving footage will look less detailed and fluid than on rivals offering higher-quality recording.
The phone does not support NFC, so tap-to-pay and quick pairing through NFC cannot be used. This matters if contactless payments are part of your routine.
