Final Verdict
Internet Reliability Verdict: 6.8 โ Fair. Evidence basis: Public-source investigation; not internal long-term testing. The score reflects documented reliability risk at the evaluation date and does not estimate the percentage of affected units. Absence of a documented pattern does not prove that no defect exists.
After two years, the long-term assessment places greater emphasis on sustained performance, usability and how the device behaves well beyond launch.

Editor's Note
Reliability evidence is weighted more heavily when it affects essential functions such as system stability, signal or navigation. This page remains subject to future re-investigation.
