Pros

  • • Powered by the ultra-fast Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, delivering absolutely peak, industry-leading gaming performance.
  • • Features a massive 6150mAh silicon-carbon battery while remaining surprisingly and incredibly physically thin.
  • • Upgraded 144Hz 2K flat OLED display with super-high PWM dimming to completely eliminate user eye strain.
  • • Finally introduced a premium ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for flawless, lightning-fast, and highly reliable unlocking.

Cons

  • • Deliberately dropped the excellent periscope telephoto lens found on older models, downgrading to a basic 2x optical zoom.
  • • Completely removed all wireless charging capabilities, a feature heavily expected on premium flagship phones.
  • • The international software UI (FunTouch OS 15) remains highly cluttered with incredibly annoying pre-installed bloatware.
  • • Still completely lacks a modern USB 3.2 port, rigidly sticking to painfully slow USB 2.0 data transfer speeds.
