The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
A distinctive flagship with an exceptional display and strong hardware, but its modest battery, slow charging and ageing Android hold it back.
What is good
- 6.5-inch 4K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
- Snapdragon 888 and 12GB RAM deliver strong performance
- IP68 protection and 5G connectivity strengthen its premium hardware
What is not
- 4500 mAh battery is modest for a 6.5-inch 4K display
- 30W wired charging is unremarkable, with 11W wireless charging
- Android 11 feels dated for a 2021 flagship
