The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

A compact, well-built 5G phone with a fluid AMOLED display and capable cameras, but its 4000 mAh battery and Android 11 hold it back.

What is good

  • Snapdragon 888 delivers high-end performance.
  • The 5.9-inch 120Hz AMOLED display is compact and fluid.
  • 5G and Wi-Fi 6 provide excellent connectivity.

What is not

  • The 4000 mAh battery is small for this performance class.
  • 30W charging is merely moderate.
  • Android 11 gives the software an aging foundation.
