Final Verdict

Internet Reliability Verdict: 6.8 — 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.

For a longer-term perspective, the review also considers how performance and usability develop beyond the initial launch period.
