The textured design and excellent grip.
The new fixed telephoto lens 2.9x is very successful.
The photo rendering is "pro case", natural and rich.
The unparalleled audio experience (headphone jack, symmetrical front speakers).
The absence of a punch hole or notch in the screen.

The severe thermal throttling of the processor
The "fast" charging limited to 30W
HDR brightness lagging behind the competition.
Only 4 years of Android updates, too short for this price.
The software interface is a bit austere and the AI Camera Assistant application is intrusive.
The selfie sensor is showing its age a bit
