To recap
This handset is a tale of two halves: there’s the undeniable positives of a super camera setup with gimbal stabilisation; but the unexpected negatives of software that has far too many bugs, and the overall poor battery life. Still, despite its software quibbles, we’ve found it’s been worth sticking with this handset for the sake of that considerable onboard power and those highly-capable cameras.
