My phone has three main purposes: reading (manga, news, etc), mapping & travel-oriented things (think OS maps, managing my InReach, that sort of thing), and music playback. As such, needs to have a good display, good battery life, and good-quality navigational features. As an amateur photographer, it helps to have a phone you can depend on in a pinch, e.g. if it's too wet to get the DSLR out, or too risky.So, with all that in mind: for the price, great phone. I only have three criticisms.The first is that the curved screen is a ridiculous gimmick that serves no purpose- you can't touch/use the curved edge with a screen protector on, IF you can find one that works. Only a hydrated gel screen protector will work, and they're not that compatible with cases- chicken and the egg. I had to buy the protector, cut it down even more to size than it already was, and only then would it fit with the case I got. I tried 5+ cases and multiple tempered glass screen protectors, only to settle for a regular TPU case and a hydrogel protector.The second is the efficiency of the phone. No phone should heat up this much during charging- that's called inefficiency, loss: for a person who goes on 7-8 day unsupported trips with no opportunity to recharge, that means more weight- more power banks. It will heat up without fast charging, that is a fact. In airplane mode, it will last 2 (maybe 3, if you're judicious with your mapping and supplement with paper maps) days. That's not too bad, but not the best, and it's all down to the fact that it burns through 20% charge just being idle throughout the day.No headphone jack, really? You couldn't drill a small hole and shove in a headphone jack? What a ridiculous era we're in.Now, the good bits:- It has great navigation (GPS, etc)- Reliable & fast UI- No ridiculous adware like Xiaomi/Apple/other phones, you can uninstall all the trashy moto apps (and there aren't many.)- Camera isn't the worst, and is great for the price- the bog pic was a "raw" (comes out DNG) and the viaduct a HDR straight from the camera. In terms of camera phones, the colour rendition on the photos is generally spot-on, though you may want to turn off the HDR or tone it down a bit, as it can be too much in shaded/poorly lit conditions. It isn't good for night photography.- Audio playback is strong, vibrant, and doesn't skimp on the low frequencies- bass is good.- It's waterproof and durable. I've tested it by dropping it in bogs, dropping it in sinks, and yes, dropping it in hot tea (all three deliberately.)- It charges fast. It might heat up like mad, but it does charge fast. Not a priority for me, but something I have noticed in passing by.- It has a "pro" mode for photography, which does give better control in certain conditions- though the phone is limited by the camera system compared to the latest/best Huawei/Apple phones.I've never been one for using a phone for photography- my DSLR will always win just by a matter of fact of functionality, ergonomics, and literally physics (something I'm qualified to state.) But honestly, I would not hesitate to use this phone in a pinch to get an image suitable for web publication (definitely not large format print, though.)Edit:In fact, on my latest trip, which I just got the phone for reliability on, the raws came out quite good- much better than my old P30 Lite (which didn't give RAW files.) That being said, the actual "photos" are AI-processed to hell and unusable. The RAW though? Look at the DNG screenshot at 1:1 that I've attached- honestly not that bad for a £300 phone! £250 even!
