    • Excellent battery life that reliably lasts a full day even with heavy use, with some users reporting up to 1.5-2 days of normal use.
    • Very fast 60W SuperDart charging (charger included in the box) that can charge the battery to around 50% in approximately 15 minutes.
    • Decent performance for everyday tasks and gaming thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G processor and an effective vapor chamber cooling system that prevents overheating.
    • In-display fingerprint sensor that is fast and reliable.
    • Dual stereo speakers with good sound quality and volume.
    • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature appreciated by many users.

    • The ultra-wide and macro cameras are considered average or disappointing compared to the main sensor.
    • Despite the 90Hz display, many games are capped at 60 FPS, meaning users cannot take full advantage of the higher refresh rate for gaming.
    • The display has a noticeable 'chin' (bezel) at the bottom, which some users find irritating, and lacks HDR10+ support for streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video.
    • Some users report occasional software bugs and the presence of some pre-installed bloatware, though it is often removable.
    • Video recording can be shaky despite OIS (especially with the ultra-wide lens), and autofocus can be jittery when recording video.
