+ Strengths

  • Чрезвычайно тонкий, легкий и портативный смартфон
  • Яркий экран, поддерживающий адаптивную частоту обновления и Dolby Vision
  • Может похвастаться впечатляющей читаемостью на солнечном свете
  • Внутри находится мощный процессор с быстрой памятью и достаточно неплохая по емкости батарея
  • Хорошо справляется с видеосъемкой, селфи тоже получаются безпроблемными

− Things to consider

  • Единственная камера не впечатляет своим функционалом
  • Автономность не впечатляет – она посредственная
  • В руках чувствуется дешевым, а звук из единственного динамика громкой связи тихий и не очень качественный
  • Нет модели с физическим слотом под SIM-карту
