CONS

  2. At 227 grams, the phone is relatively heavy and can feel bulky.
  3. The device can experience thermal throttling under extended high-performance gaming.
  4. No high-resolution (Dolby Vision/HDR10+) support for certain video streaming platforms.
  5. MyOS software can feel too stripped-back for users preferring a full app ecosystem.
  6. Color consistency isn't perfectly uniform across all three rear cameras.
  7. Default image processing can be overly aggressive with noise reduction in low light.
  8. No support for eSIM in some global markets.
  9. Front display glass protection, such as Gorilla Glass Armor, is not explicitly detailed.
  10. 80W wireless charging speeds require proprietary, non-universal charging hardware.
