Pros

Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.

The 6.74-inch AMOLED screen refreshes at up to 120 Hz, making it a comfortable place for video, reading and messages. Scrolling looks smooth, and the large display means less zooming in on text and photos.

MediaTek Dimensity 9000 and up to 16 GB of physical RAM provide plenty of scope for apps, navigation and switching tasks. OxygenOS lets you personalise the interface, while demanding games will still depend on graphics settings and heat management.

The 50 MP main camera has optical stabilisation to help compensate for small hand movements. That reduces the risk of blur in low light, although moving subjects still need enough light for a sharp result.

A 5000 mAh battery and 80 W wired charging are a practical pairing for daily use. You can top up during a break, although actual battery life depends on brightness, mobile reception and workload.

How do we assess advantages and disadvantages?

Our editorial assessment draws on specifications, manufacturer documentation and available material about the model. It does not imply our own laboratory testing. We distinguish physical RAM from virtual expansion; features and box contents can vary by market. Reference prices are conversions; check the store for the final price of an offer.
