Thanks

I tried one for a while. Stand out thing for me was how dim the screen was, even with adaptive brightness off. Plus I played a few games on it and it seemed to stutter a reasonable amount.
Build quality is great though

I have seen the stutter every now in then on vids, assuming this is software as it's a new piece of hardware. Iirc gsync and freesync suffered from the same when they came out.
Hopefully the dimness isn't too terrible. I always turn my screens down <30% so probably just fine for my uses hehe..

Anyone else care to chime in?

The Camera is a little slow, the speakers are loud, and the screen is surprisingly dim at full brightness

Yes, that's what a lot of reviews are saying, especially about the camera and the dimness, such as GSMArena

Such a shame, as it could have been an amazing phone, instead of just a good one.

If you live in London, UK - the phone is on display at the Three Store near Chancery Lane, and the one near Russell Square station
