This device is amazing, and performance-wise, it's a fast and confident phone. The camera is good, but if they had used a Sony IMX sensor in this camera, it would have been even better. For instance, they could have used the Sony IMX 800, and instead of providing 8K 24fps, they could have offered 8K 30FPS. As for the front camera, the quality is nice, not bad. Instead of 16MP, if it was 32MP it would have been better, and they could have offered 4k 30FPS for videos. The sound system is good and of high quality, but it would have been even better if it had a Harman Cardon sound system. Nonetheless, this device is fantastic, a true flagship killer. I recommend this phone.

It's a snappy and powerful smartphone. If they tweaked the camera a bit, it would have been super. But it was designed with high-performance and gaming in mind.
Pros
- Gaming option
- Decent battery
- Plenty of memory and not expensive
- Snappy
- Wireless
Cons
- If, of course, you consider this a drawback, then probably the sound.
