+ Strengths

  • Увеличенный дисплей превосходного качества, который практически лишен рамок
  • Возможности видеосъемки – вне конкуренции, и прекрасно фотографирует смартфон независимо от выбранного объектива
  • Автономность оказалась достойной – смартфон способен проработать более суток без подзарядки
  • Работает быстро, но главное предлагает высокую производительность в требовательных задачах
  • Есть отдельная кнопка на корпусе устройства для съемки

− Things to consider

  • В европейских странах не будет работать искусственный интеллект Apple Intelligence
  • Может терять производительность под нагрузкой из-за чрезмерного нагрева
  • Время зарядки разочаровывает
