    This early page of the lab review frames the phone as a solid mid-range option with well-chosen hardware and no obvious spec omissions.

    A good screen, strong battery and fast charging, but rival Nothing phones make it hard to recommend at full price.

    A safe budget phone with a nice screen, quick performance and strong battery, but dated looks, so-so cameras and ad-laden software keep it from standing out.
