PROS

  1. Extremely Thin Design: At just 9.2mm folded and 4.35mm unfolded, it is one of the thinnest book-style foldables in the world.
  2. Incredibly Lightweight: Weighing around 226g-230g, it is lighter than many standard flagship smartphones.
  3. Large Battery Capacity: Houses a 5,150mAh silicon-carbon battery, offering excellent battery life for a foldable.
  4. Very Fast Charging: Supports 66W wired charging, with a charger usually included in the box.
  5. Fast Wireless Charging: Features 50W wireless charging, a major upgrade over its predecessor.
  6. High-End Performance: Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, making it extremely fast.
  7. Durable Build: Features IPX8 water resistance and an improved, robust steel hinge.
  8. Bright Displays: Both inner and outer screens are 120Hz LTPO OLED panels with high peak brightness.
  9. Versatile Cameras: Features a strong 50MP main camera and a 3.5x periscope telephoto lens.
  10. Excellent Crease Management: The hinge design makes the internal crease less noticeable than many competitors.

CONS

  1. Very High Price: It is an expensive device, usually retailing around the €2000 mark in Europe.
  2. No Official US Availability: It is not officially sold or supported in the United States.
  3. No Dust Resistance: Despite being IPX8 water-resistant, it lacks IP-rated dust protection.
  4. Bulky Camera Bump: The rear camera module is large and causes the phone to wobble when placed on a table.
  5. Mediocre Ultrawide Camera: The 40MP ultrawide lens produces less consistent, softer images compared to the main sensor.
  6. MagicOS Needs Polish: The software lacks the refinement and foldable-specific features of Samsung or Google.
  7. Throttling Under Load: Due to the extreme thinness, the phone can get hot and throttle performance during long gaming sessions.
  8. Inner Screen Brightness: While good, the inner display is noticeably dimmer than the outer screen in direct sunlight.
  9. Slippery Build: The premium materials (like vegan leather/glass) can be quite slippery to hold.
  10. Limited App Optimization: Some apps are not well-optimized for the square inner screen aspect ratio.
