The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
A polished 5G phone with an excellent display and protection, but modest charging and aging software weaken the package.
What is good
- 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz refresh and 1300 nits
- IP68 protection and a slim 7.8 mm body
- 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and USB-C 3.2 connectivity
What is not
- 25W wired charging is modest for the 4800 mAh battery
- Android 11 software is dated
- 200g weight makes the large phone less comfortable to carry
How the score breaks down
- Performance 69
- Camera 56
- Display 66
- Battery 18
- Connectivity 91
