  Edit review

  Battery after almost 2 years is a straight joke.

  Phone is very well built, but glass back broke after fall from 30 cm on a wooden floor. Glad it has IP68, love it, but surely design is a bit outdated now. Absolutely awesome AMOLED display, reliable fingerprint unlock. Cameras are OK, but nowhere near good, daylight needs HDR, otherwise something is blown out or too dark, night shots are just simply impossible. Problems start when there are clouds, and if you want a decent photo in a dark room, not plain black, just little bit darker than a stromy weather is like, you simply can't get it, same with indoor shots helped only with ceiling lamp. Connectivity is good, overall hardware(except battery and that camera) is on point, just enough for normal use, and it has USB-C, which was not that obvious back at its release. Speaker is weak and uncomfortable to hear, but will do for YT chatting shows or sth.
