To recap
A compact and powerful phone that offers a great consistent experience. The battery life isn’t great and the camera isn’t best in class when it comes to mode challenging situations. The software remains some of the most mature and comprehensive making it a pleasure to use, but there are equally-powerful rivals available for less money.
