Strongly praised as the best mid-ranger of its year, with top performance, long battery life, a vivid display and long update support.

A bargain phone with fast performance, sturdy IP68 build and standout battery life.
Tech Advisor80
Flagship-like gaming performance at a low price, with a great screen, premium feel, huge battery and fast charging.
TechRadar70
Surprisingly fast with huge battery life and good value, yet unremarkable cameras, cluttered software and a bulky, plain-looking design keep it from being a clear winner.
