Practical Use Summary
A powerful camera and entertainment phone with excellent hardware. Reliability remains Good rather than Very Good because update-related battery and thermal complaints are too consistent to dismiss.

Final Verdict
A powerful camera and entertainment phone with excellent hardware. Reliability remains Good rather than Very Good because update-related battery and thermal complaints are too consistent to dismiss.
Current Phone RelyScore: 7.5 / 10 β Good.
