+ Strengths

  • Защищенный от воды дизайн приятно отличается от соперников
  • У экрана есть достаточный запас яркости, и он поддерживает воспроизведение HDR-контента
  • Двойная основная камера отлично себя показала в фотосъемке
  • Практически не греется во время использования в сложных задачах
  • Можно подключить к внешнему экрану или телевизору по USB-C
  • Звук из динамиков весьма приятный
  • В ночном режиме камера работает медленно, а эффект от него посредственный
  • Задняя крышка выполнена из пластика, а большие рамки экрана портят впечатления от смартфона
  • В играх нет никакого преимущества от повышенной частоты обновления экрана
