Bought on sale for £259 in 2024, this is currently unbeatable for the price. Originally a £640 phone when launched 18 months ago, the phone has had 2 major android version updates and will get one more, plus further security updates, so is still bang up to date, whilst having earlier software niggles well and truly sorted. The sd 8+ gen 1 chip offers near current gen flagship performance whilst being very stable (next to no throttling) and efficient, considerably more so than the none plus version in the pro model.
Talking of battery life, it's very good, currently averaging 7.5 hrs sot, and the ridiculous super charging (150watt charger included!) means the phone can fully charge in the time it takes to make a cup tea. Seriously this is a game changer for me, knowing a 10 minute charge will give me 60%+ battery is super convenient.
Camera is decent (and improved further by installing a gcam port, though not at all required), build quality excellent, as is the (thankfully flat) 120hz display.
Ultimately this was a decent phone at lunch, but an absolute bargain now at barely 1/3 of the price, coming in cheaper than a number of far worse specced budget phones. Highly recommend
