What we love about this phone are: the design, display, dual speakers, 120W fast charging and the IR blaster which is not very easy to find on most mid-range phones.
As for software update, the android 12 OS update can only progress to 14 which might be a deal breaker for those who are thinking long-term. However, we found the processor performance interesting.
