"From the moment you pick it up, it's the screen that pops out at you. In fact, the pre-eminence of the screen means you actually barely notice the phone’s chassis at all; the hardware's design takes a backseat to the software on the display. Which is no bad thing."

“The OLED display is insanely good. The contrast is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. And the edge to edge / bezel arrangement is stunning. It somehow further humanizes the device. I feel like I’m holding my photos and videos…not a device on which to view them.”

“What I can tell you is that [Animoji] are cute and super funny. The way that the camera is able to accurately track and map your face, the physics in the models and the fun factor of being able to ‘wear a mask’ combine to make something that’s actually a ton of fun.”
