Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
AMOLED with a sharp image
Super AMOLED at Full HD+ is an appealing basis for reading and photographs. For ordinary tasks, we would prefer this combination to a larger display with noticeably lower sharpness.
Expandable storage
MicroSD support is useful for music, photographs and local video. Not every file needs to live in the cloud. We appreciate the flexibility, although a memory card neither expands nor replaces RAM.
Long software support
Up to six OS upgrades and six years of security support are promised from launch. That matters in an inexpensive phone, especially for people who use banking apps and do not plan to replace their device annually.
