Téléphone au top mais manque un peu d'autonomie (fait la journée avec justesse). Le lecteur digitale sous la dalle est génial malgré quelques erreurs de temps à autre (ne reconnait pas l'empreinte). L'Always On Display fonctionne bien Bref mis à part sa batterie et son logiciel photo, téléphone au top.
