Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
Strong processing platform
The Dimensity 9500s and LPDDR5X / UFS 4.1 memory provide useful headroom for demanding apps and multitasking. Gaming is a key attraction, although performance depends on settings and temperature.
Generous battery capacity
The 8500mAh battery provides a useful foundation for daily calls, navigation and video. Actual endurance depends on workload and battery condition rather than capacity alone.
IP68 body protection
IP68 adds dust and water resistance under conditions specified by the manufacturer. It offers more protection than a splash-only rating, though wear can reduce the effectiveness of the seals.
