Overall
4.8Pros
- Exquisitely crafted and uniquely designed. Excellent materials and build quality. Unique and surprisingly stealthy gaming look.
- Well-thought-out control layout, plenty of I/O including some unique input offers like the Air Triggers. Functional design, including wider areas around the display for bigger speakers and easier gripping.
- Unique 6.59″ AMOLED, 120Hz display. Great performance all around and a glimpse into the future of high refresh rate graphics on mobile.
- Excellent all-round battery life. 120Hz do not take a huge chunk of extra juice. Huge battery designed with longevity in mind. Snappy charging.
- One of the best stereo speakers on a smartphone to date.
- Amazing peak and sustained performance out of an industry-leading overclocked, speed-binned, unlocked Snapdragon 855+ chipset. Additional active cooling with the AeroActive Cooler II makes for truly throttle-free sustained maximum performance.
- Surprisingly clean Android ROM, with most additions working behind the scenes to improve gaming. Well, laid-out Armoury Crate gaming interface, which includes a lot of automated optimization options as well as unparalleled access to system-level values and thresholds for advanced tuning.
- The most elaborate, exuberant and versatile accessory ecosystem on a smartphone to date.
- Solid all-round camera performance gave the hardware.
Cons
- Quite heavy at 240 grams, which takes some getting used to.
- Incredibly slippery body. A case is a must.
- No IP rating
- No wireless charging
- The lack of a microSD card slot takes a toll on practicality despite the generous built-in storage.
- The new under-display fingerprint reader is not that reliable.
