A nice upgrade and very good value.
I bought this as a minor upgrade from my Oppo Find X2 Pro. In daily use it's definitely quicker and smoother. The display is also a little brighter. Battery life is pretty good but I'm a fairly light user so this isn't really an issue for me. There are definitely phones with longer lasting batteries so if that's your priority then this might not be the best choice. With that said, charging speeds are excellent with the included 65W SuperVOOC charger and you can even charge wirelessly at up to 30W, which is pretty amazing! The cameras perform well but perhaps not at the level of an equivalent iPhone or Google Pixel. I particularly like the microscope camera, complete with integrated ring light. It's can produce some fascinating results, though it's more of a novelty unless you have a practical use for it. The phone is very well made with a glass back and metal sides. It looks beautiful and has a unique look. The ColorOS software is extremely versatile and can be fully customised with live (animated) wallpapers, an always on display, edge lighting for notifications and even options for changing the animation of the fingerprint sensor! The phone is running Android 13 and may receive an update to Android 14 in 2024. Overall I rate the phone highly for the price paid and it's definitely one of the better value options out there for near flagship specifications at a bargain price. If you can get the 256GB/12GB RAM model in mint condition (or close to it) for £250 or less then I'd say you're getting a real bargain.
